"Can we be friends?" Jenna repeated his question in her mind. She thought to herself. "It's just being friends. Why can't we?" "Of course we can." A faint smile appeared on Jenna's face as she answered plainly. In her mind, she was not that petty. They were just going to be friends, weren't they? Anyone in the world could be a friend. It was very common to make friends. "Thank you." Despite the short and simple answer, Sergio grew excited. The corners of his mouth turned up. A bubble of laughter then followed. "Having an amazing friend like you is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me in my life." "Is it that serious? Isn't it a little excessive?" Jenna pondered internally. Nevertheless, she kept her thoughts to herself. "People should treat others with respect. Otherwise, it would be discourteous." She rationalized his behavior in her head. "That is how he is with me now." "It's only one dinner. I'll let him be." Jenna ordere
"Mom, it's late. You'd better go to bed." Jenna really did not want to discuss that topic anymore. Hence, she tried to persuade her gently. "Jenna, I think Sergio is a great person. I can also tell he's very interested in you." Sara brought it up again. What?! As soon as those words came out, Jenna almost choked. Why would a man like Sergio be interested in a woman like her? How could she have such a thought? That's too ridiculous! "Mom, are you tired of staying at home all day? You're imagining things. Let Aunt Lee take you out for a walk tomorrow," retorted Jenna. She was exhausted as she headed to the bathroom, ready to wash up and hit the sack. "Come back here!" Sara raised her voice sternly. Jenna's nonchalant attitude really infuriated her. Jenna stopped in her tracks. She turned around with confusion written all over her face. "Mom, what's with you?" "Listen to me very carefully. About what I said earlier, I wasn't joki
Jenna crept to the door and was about to knock on the door. "Eh? The door isn't closed." "He must've left it open for me." "Speaking of this b*stard, why did he ask me to come at this late hour?" Standing at the door, looking at the darkness inside of the house, she was hesitant. Her heart was racing. She was afraid that once she entered, it would be a bottomless pit. However, if she left, doom would be waiting for her. Just as she was hesitating... A pair of powerful hands suddenly extended towards her. A strong grip pulled her into the house, drawing a yelp from her in the process. Soon, her head collided with a surface. A warm and bony one. She was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide, about to scream. "Go ahead and scream if you don't mind. Alvin is inside," he murmured. As if seeing through her mind, Hansen put his mouth to her ear to give her a reminder, and his hot breath fanned over her ear while doing so.
After who knew how long, he left her lips and whispered in her ear, "I want you." In such a fiery attack, Jenna had already fallen into a daze. He slipped a hand under her clothes, and gently touched her smooth skin, trailing it further down and down... Jenna felt that she was floating, up in the sky. She was intoxicated. She even felt that she actually needed him. There was no need to hide, as her body had already betrayed her. She was not a prude. Love was something she also longed for, not to mention that she had always loved that man deeply. That handsome man could make not only her, but also all the other women fall in love with him effortlessly. Love. It was what it was, so why hide it? Even if she would descend into a bottomless pit, she couldn't care less. Sara's words had also left her mind. Since she had agreed to come over, she had already anticipated such a scene, because his desire for her had always been very much obvious. H
Deep down, Hansen was surprisingly delighted. She didn't say anything, which was much better than before. Those days, whenever he mentioned about going home, she would cry her eyes out, looking very aggrieved. However, at the moment, even though she didn't say yes, she didn't object either. Did that silence mean that she had agreed to it? It boosted Hansen's confidence and strengthened his resolve. He felt that happiness was within his grasp. "Jenna, come home, and we'll get married. I'll give you the most luxurious wedding in the world. Believe me. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Jerry. If he goes wandering around with you like this, his education and the living environment will be affected. You also have to think about me. I'm Jerry's father. I should fulfil my duty." Hansen held her in his arms and continued. Jenna's heart was in a mess. She gently touched his back with her fingers, almost agreeing with him. However, Sara's wor
"Octavia, has Hansen come back from Wullen Town yet?" Zoella asked in a casual manner, the corners of her mouth tugging up. "Miss Yates, not yet." Octavia smiled and answered excitedly. "He is now being held up by the petrochemical factory. Also, since Sara is still antagonistic towards Hansen, she won't hear of Jenna following him back to A city. These two matters have already given him enough issues to contend with. I am afraid he will not come back for the time being." Octavia got even more excited with each passing statement, while there was sly quality to Zoella's smile. With her woman's intuition, Sara would not let her daughter get back with Hansen without a guarantee, while Hansen would always have a soft spot for Jenna. Hansen had worked himself to the bone, trying to search for his wife and son. He would not give up until he brought them back. The petrochemical factory too, was holding Hansen back. Such a good opportunity posed as a huge advantage for
"Wait, what did I do?" Hansen stripped off the monster mask on his head, blinking innocently. "Do you not know anything about safety? It's very dangerous to let Jerry eat the fruit jelly this way. What if it gets stuck in his throat? How old is he?" Jenna turned around and bombarded him with endless questions. "Also, this thing is full of artificial coloring, fragrances, you name it. It can't be good to eat it. Don't tell me you don't know anything about it?" Good heavens! Hansen was dumbstruck by the string of questions. He wasn't able to react for some time, less of all retort. He thought about what she had said, and realised she was right. Hence, he could only give her a sheepish smile. "Jerry, let's go. I will take you home." Jenna waded into the pile of colorful balls and picked Jerry up. As soon as she held Jerry in her arms, she felt that her arms were cold and wet. Her heart skipped a beat. She looked down at him, and surely enough, Jerry had peed his pants!
"Mr. Richards really has grown wiser!" Alvin exclaimed secretly. Hansen, at that moment, gave off the feeling of a level-headed man. His every movement exuded absolute steadiness and confidence. Coupled with the inner glow he radiated, a man like that would snag the attention of many women whenever he was out and about. The confidence he had in himself stemmed from the strength he had accumulated as time passed. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day. "Of course. I already knew it," said Hansen indifferently. That went without saying. How could he not know that someone was getting close to the woman he loved? If he was not even a little vigilant, would he still be considered a man? The day before, when Jenna had taken him out for dinner, he had seen it. Otherwise, he would not be that desperate for her to come over to keep him company. "However,, Mr. Richards, this is really strange. According to Sergio's current status, it is really not necessary for him t
