Chapter 493 Liya Meets Hansen’s Parents

Book:Getting My Ex-wife Back Published:2024-5-1

When Hansen returned to the bedroom, Jenna was already sleeping soundly. He bent down to glance at her, and he saw that she was sleeping very peacefully. She looked like she didn’t feel as much pain as she had over the past few days. It seemed that she had adapted to the environment too. Hansen felt very gratified upon seeing that, but at the same time, he also felt deeply sorry for her.
Jenna didn’t know when it happened, but she felt warm and thick shoulders embracing her, and her face was caressed gently by a hand. She then opened her eyes in a daze. The lights in the bedroom were dim, and Hansen appeared in front of her with a slightly tired face.
She glanced at him, turned her face away, and turned her back towards him.
Over the past few days, he would come back every night to keep her company, and he would always be extremely gentle.
However, Jenna still felt very uncomfortable. She felt like she had been pricked by a thorn, and she treated him very coldly.
“Jenna, are you awake?” Hansen hugged her from behind and sprayed his hot breath on her neck. His lips were brushing against her earlobe, and his voice was very soft and pleasant to listen to.
Jenna closed her eyes and ignored him.
Hansen knew that she was angry. Even if she could adapt to the current situation, it was too difficult for a woman to accept her husband’s betrayal without any resentment.
Hansen felt a surge of guilt and remorse in his heart.
During those days, he tried his best to avoid that kind of situation, but he still couldn’t predict what would happen.
He wrapped her body from behind with his arms and clung to her with his scorching body.
“Jenna, I want you,” he whispered in her ear with a soft and sweet voice, greedily breathing in her fragrance.
That was the only form of love he could give her. At present, he could only compensate her like that as he really didn’t know what else he could do.
Deep down, he was very afraid of losing her.
Jenna was calm and she didn’t get angry. She simply closed her eyes. Over the past few days, Hansen would always return home to be by her side and spend all his time loving her. His love for her was gentle and delicate, yet it was intense. His intense love would always end up enveloping her.
His shameful words and actions would usually make her blush when she thought of them in the morning. His passionate gentleness and extreme love really made her feel the blissfulness of being a woman. When he hugged her to sleep, she felt that she was a blessed wife.
Even if she had to face the cruel reality the next day, the love he gave her at night still made her feel reluctant to refuse him.
It was due to the fact that she was afraid that she would not be able to live a blissful life anymore. So, she yearned for a blissful life a lot. She wanted to live a happy life with Hansen and Jerry. Even if it was just a pipe dream, she still wanted to feel that way.
She smiled bitterly.
Actually, she understood that Hansen was going to marry Liya and that deep down, he was worried that Jenna would disagree, or that she would propose a divorce. Hence, he would always make love to her every night in order to keep her from leaving.
All wives couldn’t bear to leave their husbands, and Jenna was no exception. Her attachment to Hansen was the same as how Hansen couldn’t leave her. In recent days, even though she was very exhausted, she still complied with Hansen’s each and every demand, in order to satisfy him as much as possible.
She didn’t know how long that kind of life would last, but she also wanted to keep feeling that kind of bliss for as long as possible. She was infatuated by his presence and was worried that she would suddenly lose him one day, which would make her feel panicky and uncomfortable.
Actually, she didn’t have the courage to leave him. Even if she watched him marry Liya and see them flirt in front of her, she would still force herself to hold back her tears and look at them, as she didn’t have the courage to leave that family and him.
Jenna and him were inseparable for a long time. So, how could she bear to be away from him?
Right then, she understood why some women pretended to be fine and maintained their status quo even though they knew their husband cheated on them with some other woman outside. It was because they couldn’t bear it.
The next morning, Hansen held onto Jenna’s hand as they went downstairs.
When they were still upstairs, Jenna had already sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat strange. Indeed, when Hansen held her hand tightly and led her down to the hall downstairs, her keen eyes captured a scene that left her astounded.
Liya, who was dressed up very elegantly, was sitting on the couch, with her hands on her knees. She had a kind expression and looked like a graceful and virtuous young woman, which inspired one to love her upon seeing her.
On the other hand, Trevor was seated across from her like an elder meeting a young one. From time to time, he would chat with her and ask questions in a kind manner. The atmosphere was very amiable.
Liya’s face was all smiles as she answered Trevor’s questions in a virtuous manner. She sounded very gentle and soft. One could not help but to dote on her.
What was going on?! Liya had come to meet Hansen’s parents!
That woman was not simple at all!
Jenna was completely stunned. Her entire body trembled, as she involuntarily approached Hansen. However, she quickly understood the cruel reality, and wanted to turn around and leave.
Hansen had long sensed her subtle changes. He turned his head to look at her and used his palm to hold her hand, keeping her by his side.
“Hansen, Jenna, you guys are here. Good morning.” When Liya saw that Hansen and Jenna had come down, she hurriedly stood up with a smile on her face and spoke respectfully. Also, when she saw Hansen and Jenna holding each other’s hands tightly, she quickly averted her gaze and smiled calmly.
She knew that her status in Richards Manner was simply the second wife and that it wasn’t her place to be jealous of Jenna. Furthermore, that day was her first time meeting Hansen’s parents. So, naturally, she had to maintain her magnanimity and calmness.
“Jenna, this is my first time here. So, I would really appreciate your guidance. In the future, I want to be on good terms with you and manage this family together,” Liya said as she smiled at Jenna in an extremely friendly manner.
Jenna’s face turned pale, and it took her a long time to calm down. In the face of Liya’s enthusiasm, she tried her best to force a smile.
“Liya, there’s no need to be so polite. Please take a seat.”
“Alright, thank you, Jenna.” Liya smiled very generously, turned around, and sat on the couch with her light body. Her expression was very calm and natural, as if she already treated that place like her home.
“Mom, Dad, good morning.” Hansen brought Jenna, stood in front of Trevor and Marissa, and greeted them.
“Good morning.” Trevor’s eyes were very deep, and one couldn’t easily see through him. He only replied with a friendly nod. His eyes rested on Jenna’s face for a moment, before drifting over and pointing to the couch next to him. “Have a seat. I have something to say.”
“Okay,” Hansen answered politely and sat down on the couch on the other side with Jenna.
Marissa’s expression was complicated, and it could be seen that she was nervous. She had never expected Jenna, who had always been very fond of having Hansen to herself, to agree to let Hansen take a second wife, and even invited Liya to live in the manor.
That was beyond her imagination. She even thought that it was ridiculous! Thinking of what she said to Jenna in the backyard that day, she felt extremely embarrassed, to the point where she didn’t even know how to face Jenna.
“Jenna, Hansen’s and Liya’s matters are already on the news, but I think you guys already know that. Since Hansen’s and Liya’s relationship has already been exposed, then we can’t joke it off anymore. We will take responsibility for this. Right now, you are Hansen’s first wife, and it is Liya’s first time meeting her elders in the Richards family. So, I thought that I should make things clear to you, and I also hope that you will guide her well in all aspects in the future, so that she won’t make any mistakes and become a laughing stock,” Trevor said to Jenna directly, after they sat down.
Jenna was prepared for that, but she neither expected that the matter would happen so soon, nor that Liya would show up in the manor so quickly.
Facing that kind of situation, she felt a chill all over. She could neither choose whether to answer nor to refute Trevor’s words. She had no choice but to accept it.
In fact, the modern-looking Richards Manor was actually a strict feudal house.
There was no way for her, a daughter-in-law of the family, to refute the decision made by the elders of the Richards family. She had no other choice but to accept it.
In that way, neither Trevor nor Hansen had directly consulted her opinion. When Trevor asked her to go to the study that day, he was actually just telling her to follow his plans. It wasn’t a discussion at all, and she understood it.
Tears of disappointment welled up in her eyes but she forced them back.
“Okay, Dad.” She looked up at Trevor. His eyes were unfathomable. She couldn’t figure out what his intention was, but she had no choice but to give a clear answer.
“Alright.” Hearing her reply, Trevor was obviously very satisfied. He nodded his head in approval.
“Liya, since you’ve come to see us elders today, it can be said that you’re already partially a part of the Richards family, and it’s very likely that you’ll become a family member in the future. Jenna is the head wife of our family. This is a fact that no one can change. The people in Richards Manor all respect her and we hope that you’ll respect her too. Please listen to her and treat her as if she were your own sister,” Trevor said solemnly to Liya with a commanding tone.
Liya immediately felt a cold, awe-inspiring chill.
When Trevor spoke with Jenna just then, it was in a kind and gentle tone, exactly like a father speaking to his daughter, but he spoke to Liya in a stern tone, as if he was speaking to an outsider or his subordinate.
“Liya, our family is a prestigious family. There are many rules and restrictions in Richards Manor. I hope you will prepare yourself and abide by these rules, so that you won’t bring shame to Green Jade Garden.” Marissa’s gaze was even sharper and colder.
“Yes, Dad, Mom, I will.” Liya was a smart person. Although she didn’t like it, she still could feel the chilling aura coming from Trevor and Marissa, but she was already very grateful that they accepted her. So, she immediately changed her mind and answered sweetly and modestly.
Nevertheless, at that moment, Liya clearly felt the huge contrast between the respect everyone in Richards Manor had for Jenna and their treatment of her.
