Hansen drove all the way into the garage from the small road in front of her. "Hansen, it's so beautiful here. Why didn't you tell me earlier so that I can stay here over the weekend," the crisp female voice came from the garage with a giggle, and it became clearer. Jenna's heart sank a little bit. Her instinct told her that Hansen was back with another woman. Her eyes were quickly shocked by the harmonious scene in front of her, and her widened eyes could not believe what was happening for a moment. The sweet and beautiful girl was holding Hansen s arm with a bright smile on her face. Her entire body was almost leaning against his arm. However, Hansen did not even refuse her; he even embraced her shoulders affectionately. The two of them walked and laughed all the way towards her. When they were closer to Jenna, she saw that the girl was about 20 years old, with fair skin and a pair of cute, bright eyes. Her silky hair draped over her shoulders. In addit
However, at this time, Zoey was staring at her with a pair of innocent eyes; her face was full of sincerity that Jenna could not refuse. Jenna was really unwilling in her heart so she tried to force a smile and said, "Zoey, I'm not good at giving comments, and I'm also busy with something else. You can ask Mr. Richards to go with you." Although she spoke in a low voice, her answer was straightforward enough, making it clear that she was refusing. "Jenna, please accompany me, OK? I want to buy some beautiful clothes. I heard from Hansen that you were in this country for three years. You must know which places sell beautiful clothes, and your clothes are also very beautiful. Will you please accompany me?" Zoey actually stood up and walked toward her, shaking her arm while begging her. Jenna was at a loss now and thought about it. Would Hansen want her to be the third wheel to the both of them? He would be unhappy if she did so. Looking up, facing Hanse
"Let's eat, it's late already," Jenna said anxiously, avoiding the topic. She walked towards the dining hall. Zoey's crisp laughter and coquettish voice came from behind. "Hansen, let's leave early after breakfast." "Okay, baby," Hansen responded gently. Jenna did not need to have a pair of eyes on her back in order to know that it was an extremely intimate scene. She just wanted to escape. She really didn't want to look at their affectionate scene that would drive her crazy. The sun was shining outside. The spring breeze was blowing, and the weather was just right. It was neither hot nor cold. Jenna wore a light green dress for such weather. Zoey dragged Hansen's hand with excitement while Jenna quietly followed behind. She tried to walk inconspicuously so that she could stay as far as possible from them. It was a short drive from the villa to reach the numerous dining and entertainment facilities in Arcadia city. It was where the most prosper
Since Zoey was very young, Hansen had been treating her very well. He often took her around to have fun and cared about her a lot, fearing that she would get hurt. She was like a little princess to him. He could pamper and spoil her, and he was willing to do anything for her. When she was a little girl, she thought that she would marry him in the future. However, when she grew up, it was only then did she know that they were cousins, and it was completely impossible for them to get married. When she realized this, she was very annoyed, and there was always an inexplicable loss in her heart. Zoey became very envious of the lucky person who would be able to marry her cousin in the future. When she was still young, Hansen often told her that he would marry her if no one wanted her. Being ignorant at that time, Zoey actually believed the joke and the idea of him marrying her had been planted deep in her heart. Even until now, she was still having trouble getting out of th
Whatever Jenna had just said was indeed her innermost thoughts and feelings. She finally said it all and Hansen instantly felt cold all over his body. It turned out that she actually had such an image of him all this while. His love and trust for her turned out to be just venting and humiliating. It turned out that in her mind, he was such a person. It was really a waste of his efforts. The pity and love that rose in his heart disappeared in the blink of an eye. There was only anger and sadness left. "Very well, you finally admitted the purpose of working for Richards Group, and you finally admitted that you have other plans in mind other than working for the company. Sure enough, I did not misunderstand you. This is ridiculous. You totally let me down." Hansen's face was livid and the blue veins on his forehead were prominent. He clenched his fists hard and he was obviously on the verge of breaking down too. For the first time, he felt the pain of not being trusted.
Hansen stood firm, turning around slowly. His dark eyes had a hint of an unknown emotion and a faint smile crossed his stiff face; there was a soft light in his eyes. He approached and looked at her, then asked slowly, "Can I take it that you are jealous now?" Jealous! As soon as he said this, Jenna was surprised as well. She took a step back and her face was full of embarrassment. Did she say the wrong thing, leading him to think that she was jealous? However, over the past two days, she was really jealous, and even her stomach felt upset now! She didn't want to admit it. "No, I'm not!" She stammered with her mouth open and her pale tear-stained face was faintly red. Then, it became redder and she didn't even dare to look him in the eyes. She hurriedly turned her head. Of course, her expression did not escape Hansen s sharp eyes. Her pale and thin face was full of tears. The girl whom he had met in college had a rosy and beautiful face that was ful
There was a knock on the door. "Come in." Jenna raised her head and stared blankly. Flora brought a bowl and walked in; there was something steaming in it. Jenna smelled a familiar fragrance, and there was a fishy smell. She then stared at Flora blankly. "Miss, Young Master said you must drink this," Flora said with a smile. "What?" The item in the bowl was steaming and it was obviously freshly stewed. Jenna smelled a familiar scent and she looked up. It was a bowl of translucent, white liquid with bits of scarlet, and there was a subtle fragrance emanating from it. "Miss, this is the red bird's nest that Young Master brought back today for you. He wants you to continue drinking a bowl every day for the next few days to replenish your body," Flora explained with a smile. Red bird's nest! She immediately recalled that this was the thing he fed her using his mouth in the hospital back then. Her face slowly turned red at the memory.
This man, the man whom she had loved since a long time ago, finally belonged to her. She not only had his body but also his heart. The happiness was indeed beyond describable. Hansen lowered his head and saw that she was staring at his face in a daze. He couldn't help but smile, rubbing her smooth and soft hand. He gently said, "Honey, what are you looking at? You've been looking at my face all day long at home. Now that we are out, you still want to look at me?" Jenna came to her senses and hurriedly looked away with a flushed face. After a while, Hansen took the diamond ring from the sales assistant and held Jenna's small hand. Then, he put the dazzling diamond ring onto her ring finger. Jenna wanted to withdraw her hand as she was very surprised. She was not used to wearing such a huge diamond; it was too conspicuous. "Don't move. Wear it." Hansen tilted his head and looked at it. The exquisite diamond ring was very beautiful on her delicate, porcelain
Santiago went home once more to retrieve Jepherson's sperm from the sperm bank. After that, Raeleigh got pregnant through medical procedures. However, when Raeleigh was only three days pregnant, the doctor made a major discovery. He informed her that he made progress with Shaney's illness , and that he might have misdiagnosed her condition. At that time, Raeleigh had been so overjoyed that Shaney was fine, and she only remembered that she was pregnant after half a month since learning about Shaney. By the time she remembered that she was with child, she wanted to stop her pregnancy. However, Santiago persuaded her to give the baby to him. Raeleigh pondered about it for a long time before finally agreeing. ...... Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Raeleigh had never expected for things to turn out the way it did. She gave birth to her second child, and Shaney had made a full recovery. Santiago had told her that the baby was the will of God, and he
When Raeleigh got out of the car, she began staring at the Richards family's courtyard. Although the Richards family had already buried Marissa's body, Raeleigh was still unwilling to go back. However, as she gazed at Carsten's precious little face that was looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to follow Jepherson inside. At that moment, Santigo and the other children were in the yard. When Santiago saw Raeleigh and Jepherson, he smiled and gestured at Jepherson. "What are you doing?" Raeleigh asked when she saw Santiago. "Nothing." Though Raeleigh did not believe Jepherson, she decided not to ask further. When Carsten saw Forden and Shaney, he immediately tried to break away from Jepherson's arms, wanting to get to them. The children were all gathered in the Richards family manor that day. Coupled with the four other children of the Whalen family, there were ten children altogether, and they almost occupied the entire courtyard. Ra
Raeleigh said nothing as Carsten continued sinking his teeth into Jepherson's neck. She stared in shock as blood seeped out of his wound. Jepherson raised his hand and patted Carsten gently, then walked to the bed and sat down. After a while, Carsten finally fell asleep. He closed his eyes as he dozed off in Jepherson's arms. Meanwhile, Raeleigh had rushed out of the room to ask the hotel staff to prepare disinfectants before going back into the room to help Jepherson clean his wound. Jepherson leaned against the wall, still holding Carsten in his arms and unwilling to let go. Raeleigh frowned. "What should we do?" Jepherson's voice was a little hoarse. He had been busy for the past two days entertaining guests. "He got scared because of the crowd. He thought that you didn't want him anymore since he couldn't find you, and probably thinks that I'm the one who forced him to stay there." After bandaging Jepherson's wound, Raeleigh helped wipe Carsten's mouth. Sudd
After Raeleigh and the others left, Santiago walked to Zorion's car and stopped him. Zorion casted a glance outside. "Rossie, you should go first. He won't show any mercy once I get off." "You knew he wouldn't show you mercy, so why didn't you think of that before you caused trouble?" "I was just kidding! Who knew he'd have such a bad temper? I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Rossie sighed and gave in. Glancing at Zorion, she finally understood that he was only using her as an excuse to escape whenever he got into trouble. She got out of the car and looked at Santiago who stood opposite her. "Long time no see." "Where's Zorion?" "He's so afraid of you that he doesn't even dare to come out," said Rossie. "It's too late to be scared." He walked up to Zorion's car with the rod in his hand, then raised the stick and smashed it against the car until it was completely wrecked. When he was done, he tossed the stick aside, turned to pick
After leaving the kindergarten, Raeleigh followed Santiago to the Richards family manor. It had been four years since she returned, so she was no longer familiar with the place. Santiago went in, put Carsten down and asked the children to keep themselves entertained. He then looked at Raeleigh and said, "I came back this time because Mrs. Richards is dying. She has been unconscious for a while now. I came back to see her for the last time." Raeleigh asked, "Mrs. Richards?" "Yes. Jepherson hasn't been home these couple of days because he has gone to visit her. He didn't tell you about it because Mrs. Richards doesn't want to see you. While she was still herself, she did say that she would never let you into the family, and that she didn't want to see you ever again. Jepherson went to take care of her but was worried about you. So, he asked me to come home to take a look and it was only then did I find out that Carsten is autistic. This is on your plate now."
When the time came, Raeleigh enrolled Carsten into a kindergarten. On the first day of school, Carsten was bullied. Raeleigh felt sorry for him as she gently touched his swollen face. He had been beaten because he could not speak. She wanted to confront the bully, but Jepherson stopped her. He told her that Carsten should resolve this matter by himself. That year, Raeleigh could not sleep well at night. Hair loss became an issue, and she was exhausted all the time. But after half a month, the children stopped bullying Carsten. Instead, their parents came to Raeleigh's home. "Just take a look at your child..." The parents pointed to their child, and Raeleigh was confused when she saw a boy about the same height as Carsten. The boy seemed to have taken a serious beating, but when Carsten had gotten beaten up like this, Raeleigh hadn't gone to look for trouble with the bully's parents, did she? Raeleigh retorted, "And? It's normal for
The snow was falling heavily. Jepherson put away the phone and took Raeleigh back into the house. The two stood inside and watched the snow. Meanwhile, Hadrian and Scarlette were busy in the kitchen, not daring to make a sound. The Richards family manor remained quiet when winter was approaching. None of the family members returned even on New Year's Day. Raeleigh went to the yard and waited for them in advance, but no one came back. After New Year's Day, Raeleigh returned to her home with Jepherson. Her family members were all surprised to see her pregnant when she got home. They did not expect Raeleigh to be pregnant after being missing for several months. Moreover, she was almost due. Everyone in the Osteen family knew that Raeleigh stayed because of the baby inside her belly. Undoubtedly, the baby was Jepherson's. However, they wondered where Santiago went. Since Raeleigh said nothing, no one dared to ask about it. They all ignored the incident and sil
Raeleigh was stopped by Jepherson's men at the entrance of the village. 'I knew it wouldn't be easy for me to run away.' "Madam Raeleigh, Mr. Richards is waiting for you." Raeleigh had no choice but to go back with them. At the same time, Jepherson sat on his wheelchair outside the village with a blanket on his lap and upon seeing Raeleigh, he breathed a sigh of relief. Raeleigh walked up to him, "Don't be complacent. I'll leave one day." Shifting his gaze to Raeleigh's belly, Jepherson stretched out his hand and pulled her to him. Despite being too weak to walk, he had a firm grip. Raeleigh lost her balance and fell onto his lap. She tried to escape, but he said immediately, "Don't move." Although his voice sounded terrifying to others, he was trying to negotiate. Everyone turned around to look at them, and Raeleigh blushed. Jepherson covered her body with the blanket, then placed his hand onto her belly. Raeleigh tensed up immediately. She ra
Raeleigh had been depressed for a while after Santiago's departure. After a few days, she finally calmed down a little. Jepherson's health had not improved during this period of time. Whenever he was free, he would stare at Shaney's photo in a daze. Deanna and Jacky had helped take care of Jepherson when Raeleigh fell ill. After Raeleigh recovered, she returned to taking care of him herself. However, Jepherson had been in such poor health that he couldn't even go downstairs. It took Raeleigh a lot of effort to help him get down, especially when he was unwilling to go downstairs. "Autumn is coming. I don't want to go down." He was saying that it was cold downstairs. Raeleigh replied, "I can't take care of you all the time. Are you going to exhaust me to death? Your parents left you alone and ignored you. Santiago abandoned you too. What do you want me to do? I have to work. I also have to take care of you..." "Then stop working. Take care of me." Rael
