“Do you really think you’ve given her happiness?” Steffan sneered. “Your identity, position, wealth, and power don’t necessarily mean that you’ll be able to give a woman happiness. Rather, it could even mean the opposite. Why else was there a scandal about you marrying a mistress? Also, why was she blamed for the disasters of the Richards Group? It may have been caused by misunderstandings and never your original intention, but nonetheless it is the truth. A man like you may not be able to provide a woman with happiness. She might as well marry an ordinary man compared to marrying you. Why don’t you think about it? For a pregnant woman to fall into a moat, it doesn’t matter what the reason was, it was a very unfortunate thing to have happened to a woman. I think the happiness that women want is very simple.”
Hansen was forced to take a step back at his words. Panic and embarrassment flashed across his face. His heart felt like it was being crushed by a boulder, rumbling incessantly. Steffan was right, ever since Jenna married him, she had been forced to endure a lot of hardships and pain brought by him and his family.
He had never thought about this issue at all.
“But, nothing compares to the love I have for her. I may not be able to control fate but I can love her with my most passionate and genuine feelings. I believe that as long as a man can love a woman with all his heart, he will be able to provide her with happiness. Don’t you think so?” Hansen quickly rebutted after recovering from the shock.
Steffan’s emotions turned calm and his judgemental expression gradually disappeared.
Hansen acted confident and bold in front of him. Despite facing his tough questioning, he was still able to react well.
Perhaps, it was because of love.
Love is about doing what felt right for one and what one’s heart told one to do, it was simple as that.
It was this thing in life where it had always been right, therefore it existed just like that.
“I wish you two the best,” Steffan said in a low tone and left quickly. He himself didn’t have any love life to speak of, and he had no right to question anyone about theirs.
Half a month later.
Inside Richards Manor.
Maud was extremely busy.
Hansen had returned with Jenna and Richards Manor was in the midst of welcoming their true female head of house. Business clients and partners of the company had all found out about the news and sent Hansen their greetings through gifts and calls. Maud had not been sleeping for days and he was working hard with dark circles around his eyes.
Richards Manor was filled with joy and people’s voices.
“Hansen, it’s time to get up. We have to start the preparations for Sabrina’s and Norton’s wedding,” Jenna murmured as she walked out from the bathroom, seeing that Hansen was still lying under the covers in bed.
This guy was really good at sleeping. What time was it already?
After a while, Hansen still hadn’t moved one bit.
Jenna had to bend down and lift the covers.
A gust of warm air hit her. Before Jenna could make a sound, a strong arm wrapped around her and pulled her under the warm covers.
The next second, she was pressed under a strong body.
“Hansen…” Before Jenna could speak, her red lips were covered by scorching hot lips. It was as if his soul was a snake and it had entwined around her body.
“Hey, you!” Jenna looked up and saw Hansen’s unsatisfied, dark gaze. He looked dangerous. She wanted to push him away but his strong arms left her unable to move.
Jenna was helpless.
In the next few days, they were going to be busy with Norton’s and Sabrina’s wedding. She had promised Norton that, as his sister-in-law, she would personally visit General Delia’s home to get Sabrina’s family’s permission for them to get married. Since they had a tight schedule that week, she had made an agreement with Hansen that they wouldn’t engage in anything s*xual for these few nights.
He had promised her but it had only been one night and he’d already…
She was annoyed.
After a while, Hansen’s lips finally moved away from her lips and went to her ears. “Honey, could you less selfless? You are mine, so you don’t have to care so much for other people!” he said in a childish tone.
“Nonsense. Norton is your younger brother, how could he be considered as other people?” Jenna rebutted after taking a deep breath.
“Come on, my great wife. Don’t be so stubborn. You don’t have to worry about the wedding any more than they do! What time is it right now? If they were worried about it, then they would have rushed over here by now. But look, no one is even here yet! What’s the point of you rushing about it?” Hansen laughed.
Hansen’s words reminded Jenna and she quickly looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already nine o’clock in the morning. She had clearly told Sabrina and Norton to meet up with her here at the Green Jade Garden at half past eight. The two of them must have forgotten about it!
“Therefore, you’re going to get punished for treating your husband coldly.” Hansen let out a sneaky laugh. His hot lips moved down her neck slowly.
Jenna had always been unable to resist his intimate moves on her. He once told her that men can get very horny in the morning.
It was true and Jenna did not question it at all. It was early in the morning and he had sucked her dry. He was not holding himself back at all. In the end, Hansen finally let her go after her persistent imploring.
After they freshened up, they went downstairs to have breakfast. Even so, they did not see Sabrina and Norton anywhere at all.
Jenna showed a bitter smile and Hansen had a proud expression on his face, as if he knew this was going to happen anyway.
Unexpectedly, Sabrina and Norton did not show up but Hannah and Rayan did.
Right then, the hall was bustling with people.
“Jenna, you’re such a busy person. I’ve tried to ask you out for days but you’ve never been free. I have no choice but to try my luck here.” Hannah complained as she walked into the room. She grabbed Jenna’s hand and started inspecting her up and down, down to every last strand of her hair.
Jenna smiled embarrassedly and said, “I’m really sorry about that.”
“It’s alright. I’m just glad you’re doing fine.” Hannah smiled and hugged Jenna tightly. “This recent year, I have been so worried about you. You have to stay well or I won’t let you off easy. Remember that,” Hannah said as her eyes turned red.
“Okay, I will.” Jenna’s heart ached and her voice turned nasal.
The two best friends hugged each other tightly.
Rayan and Hansen shook hands and sat down on the couch. They started having a conversation about the car industry, the usual topic that men would have. Woman, on the other hand, would tended to be emotional with their interaction.
“Stop it. We’re already so late. Do you think it’s appropriate?” Sabrina’s complaint was heard from outside the hall.
Norton had a carefree expression on his face as he had his hand over her shoulders.
The two of them were flirting openly in public!
