“Jenna, do you like Sergio?” Hansen asked with a hint of jealousy in his voice, after taking a few sips of beer.
“Then, do you like Liya and Aria?” Jenna asked with a smile.
Hansen was taken aback. The two of them smiled at each other.
“Jenna, are you really willing to let me marry Liya?” Hansen lifted his drifting eyes and asked after taking another gulp of beer. He didn’t expect her to take the initiative and let Liya move into Richards Manor.
Jenna didn’t drink alcohol and was only drinking soft drinks. So, her mind was clear.
“If I won’t let you marry her, will you choose not to marry her?” She blinked her eyes and asked in return.
Hansen looked at her in silence.
At first, he thought that he could stop the marriage from happening, but seeing the current situation, he couldn’t do it anymore. He had to act according to the plan…
He did not continue speaking.
“Jenna, will you hate me because of this?” After emptying a few more cans of beer, he asked in a silly manner.
“Yes, I hate you right now,” Jenna answered directly, as she ate.
A bitter smile appeared on Hansen’s face. He stretched out a hand and grabbed hers. “Jenna, I won’t blame you for hating me, as I can’t give you the best, but I’ll definitely try my best to do so. Trust me.”
Jenna suddenly laughed. “Hansen, can all problems be solved by marrying Liya? If we can really resolve the Richards Group’s crisis and fulfil everyone’s wishes by doing so, I’ll agree to it and accept it, only because I love you.”
As Hansen looked at her, something shiny sparkled in his eyes.
Her face was so beautiful under the looming streetlights to the point that it was suffocating, but the words she said made him even more suffocated.
“Jenna, I knew you would do this. You’re a good woman.”
“No, I’m not considered a good woman. I’m selfish as well. I only hope that I, myself, can be happy. That’s why I insist on trying to stop you from marrying Liya. But now, I’m willing to fulfil your wishes.” She pursed her lips, smiling in a very generous and forgiving manner, “Don’t worry, I’ll personally host Liya’s and your wedding.”
After that, she lowered her head and resumed eating.
Hansen stared at her in a daze, with stupefying eyes.
She said that she would personally host that wedding for him.
What did it mean for a woman to host her husband’s wedding in person? Unless she was a saint, there was another explanation. It could also be because she did not intend to love him anymore, or rather, she wanted to give up on him. Was that so?
Something bitter came out of the corners of his eyes, and he quickly wiped it off.
“Jenna, I’ll leave this key to you. This is the key to my office and perhaps, you’ll need to use it very soon. Jenna, I love you, and it has always been this way from the start till the end. I’ll give you everything I have, including myself. Please take good care of them in the future and I do feel honored to be ‘cared’ by you,” he said sincerely, as he held her hand tightly and moved closer to her.
Jenna took a breath and looked at the man who was very close to her. He was biting his lips, and his eyes were as bright and hot as fire. He was also looking at her with his clear and frank eyes.
She smelled the scent of his sweat and beer that had a hidden fragrance inside them. It made her feel enamoured to the point that she felt dizzy.
If it was another man, she would find that scent horrifying. Since it was him, she thought that it was a pleasant smell that lulled her into contentment.
The moon was hanging in the sky, and the night was silent.
Hansen picked her up and called a taxi.
As soon as she got in the taxi, Jenna felt very exhausted. Burying her head in Hansen’s embrace, she fell asleep in no time.
When she woke up again, she was still in Hansen’s arms.
