The clothes in the drying machine had been dried up and it was already midnight! Jenna took out Hansen's suit and put it on the ironing board. She touched the soft fabric in her hand. The workmanship was very refined. There was a unique smell on the suit. For a moment, Jenna looked at the suit in a daze. Hansen's warmth, his plunder on her, and the joy and ecstasy he gave her were all lingering around her like a devil, pulling at her heart. Her hands trembled slightly as she touched the suit. Sara's words rang in her ears. She bit her lip and turned on the iron. Hansen's suit was always so well-ironed and refined. The fabric was very soft and it was a little difficult to iron it. By the time Jenna had ironed it properly, a fine layer of sweat had already seeped out from her forehead. Finally, the clothes of both father and son were ready. Jenna breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the foul odour from the house would cause the clothes to smell. So
"Take the bed with Jerry. Be careful not to roll over him." She pushed herself away from Hansen's embrace. Hansen was stunned. Confused, he asked, "Where are you sleeping then?" "I'll just sit over here. Go to bed. It's already late. You'll have to keep an eye on Jerry just in case his temperature rises at night," Jenna urged him while stifling a yawn. What? How could he allow a woman to sit on the floor while he slept on the bed? That was not what a gentleman supposed to do. Hansen's face instantly darkened. He insisted, "No, I'm afraid that won't do. Here's a suggestion, you could hug me to sleep while I sleep next to Jerry." He caressed her earlobe and smirked, "Don't worry, my body is definitely more comfortable than the bed." Jenna immediately realized that he had no intention to leave. He just wanted to sleep with her, didn't he? Sara's words suddenly rang in her ears. Jenna's eyes turned cold, and her heart tightened. "No, hurry and go to bed.
"What are you trying to say? Is this fair to me? It's because you snuck away with Jerry that I had to search for you everywhere. Even now, Jerry isn't willing to acknowledge me. He even rejected me when he saw me. Isn't it all thanks to you? What are you trying to accomplish by doing this?" asked Hansen angrily, gritting his teeth. Jenna's body trembled and she said reasonably, "Hansen, we've been together for so long. What's the point of questioning me like this? Don't you understand why I'm doing this?" Hansen was stunned. Jenna's words were very obvious. Things had come to this point and it wasn't her fault. She couldn't do anything about it. The fault was still on his side. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Jenna, do you still hate me?" All these years of humiliation, this woman must be holding a grudge against him and she was not willing to forgive him easily. D*mn woman, what a narrow-minded person. He thought. In fact, he was foul-mouthed. From the be
"Oh, according to what you said, this appears to be Jenna's fault. She has cast aside her dignity, isn't that so?" Sara asked contemptuously, her tone becoming more serious. "If she had the choices, would she be willing to give up on her beloved man, abandon her family, and wander around all alone? Who would be so foolish to the point that they take that for granted? What's more, at that time, you had already divorced. What reason did she have to stay with you? And please don't tell me to my face that you are not divorced!" Hansen lowered his head, guilt sweeping over him. "Plus, I've heard that Aria once spent ten million dollars to get rid of the child in Jenna's womb. In that case, anyone would tremble with fright upon hearing the news, much less my own daughter. She's just an ordinary woman. Is it wrong for her to protect herself? You said that you loved Jenna. Then, let me ask you. Since you loved her, four years ago, why did you force her to wander around across the g
"Mr. Richards, there's still an empty house next to Madam Jenna's house. We're currently renting it." Alvin thought of how in the past year, Hansen had been alone and taciturn every day. Now that he had finally met Jenna and his child, he would definitely bring them back. Two days prior, he had ordered him to search for a house nearby and had already thought of this. Now, looking at the situation at hand, it seemed like it wasn't that easy to bring Jenna and Jerry back. Thus, he told him about this news. Hansen's eyes darkened slightly as he raised his eyes and inch. "Okay, go and pack up first. We'll move in tomorrow." After his brief reply, he took out the keycard and unlocked the door. He plonked down on the bed, overwhelmed with exhaustion and sorrow, and soon fell asleep. Jenna was awakened by Jerry's coughs. When she woke up, Jerry's face was flushed red from coughing and he was on the verge of losing his breath. She was shocked and terrified as she hurriedly pi
Jenna held Jerry in her arms and slept soundly. The previous night was a sleepless one for her. With her arms embracing Jerry closely, more than half of her face was covered by her beautiful hair. Even so, Hansen could make out the sadness on her pale face, as well as the swelling and puffiness around her eyes. He felt a pang of heartache. The mother-son duo embraced each other, inseparably and intimately. It was a family connection between them. Hansen recalled what Jenna had said, "Hansen, please let Jerry go, I beg of you! Jerry belongs to me. He is my life. If I lose him, how am I going to live for the rest of my life?" He pursed his lips. Pain could be seen in his eyes. Slowly, he walked towards her, and caressed her face. "Jenna, Jerry is your life, but both you and Jerry are my life. If I lose the two of you, how am I going to live for the rest of my life?" He thought to himself. He continued. "You only think about yourself, but what abo
The thin figure was curled up on a bench chair, with her head in her hands. Her hair fell over her face, covering it completely, and her whole body was trembling. Hansen's heart tightened in an instant. "Jenna," he said, incredulously. After being stunned for a moment, he cried out, and with Jerry in his arms, he rushed to her. "Jenna! Jenna! What happened?" He put his big hand on her head and asked anxiously, "You're awake, but why are you here?" Jenna, snared in a stupor and confusion, raised her head reflexively when she heard the familiar voice. Hansen's eyes were overflowing with worry and confusion. She looked up at Hansen, her dark eyes fixed on him in an attempt to see right through him. Only now did she realize that the moment Jerry had disappeared, the person she feared of losing the most was him. Jerry was her flesh and blood. It was immutable. As for him, he seemed to hold a very special place in her heart. As scared as she mi
Just when Sergio was letting his imagination run wild, Yadriel spoke again. "Sergio, do you know who Lilian Garver is?" "Lilian Garver?" Sergio frowned as he thought, then a smile was plastered on his face. "Is that the woman who has a great influence in the international finance industry, and even the political circles in the Middle East?" Yadriel's eyes darted around as he listened. A bright light flashed in the depth of his gaze. "Yes, that's her. She is now over 70 years old. She has no children and is all alone. However, as far as I know, she was a famous star when she was young, and she was from A City. She married a foreigner, who was a very well-known politician, and gave birth to a daughter. However, for some reason they got a divorce. Since then, she fully dedicated her life to politics. She never remarried again. This woman is very skillful. She has made a name for herself in international politics, and possessed the veto power in global meetings. Therefore
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
