When Hansen returned to the bedroom, Jenna was already sleeping soundly. He bent down to glance at her, and he saw that she was sleeping very peacefully. She looked like she didn't feel as much pain as she had over the past few days. It seemed that she had adapted to the environment too. Hansen felt very gratified upon seeing that, but at the same time, he also felt deeply sorry for her. Jenna didn't know when it happened, but she felt warm and thick shoulders embracing her, and her face was caressed gently by a hand. She then opened her eyes in a daze. The lights in the bedroom were dim, and Hansen appeared in front of her with a slightly tired face. She glanced at him, turned her face away, and turned her back towards him. Over the past few days, he would come back every night to keep her company, and he would always be extremely gentle. However, Jenna still felt very uncomfortable. She felt like she had been pricked by a thorn, and she treated him very coldly
Just like when Liya was young, when she and her mother came to the majestic and bold Richards Manor, what they got were only eyes of contempt and an indifferent treatment. Everyone despised them and treated them coldly. That day, she entered Richards Manor once again, and her status was once again looked down upon by everyone. The following breakfast, Hansen kept taking care of Jenna. He followed her gently and considerately. From time to time, he would also pick some food and whenever she frowned slightly, Hansen would immediately order his servants to take away the dishes she did not like and bring her the things she wanted. Yet, he treated Liya very coldly. He didn't even look at her during the meal. Every servant addressed Jenna as Madam, and they respected her from the bottom of their hearts. On the other hand, they treated her with unspeakable coldness and disgust. Such treatment made her feel even more resentful, and she looked at Jenna with deep je
"Madam Marissa, Mrs. Richards, is it true that Liya had gone to meet the Richards family?" a reporter, who was holding a microphone, asked them loudly. Jenna was secretly surprised. She didn't expect the news of Liya visiting them to be known by the media so quickly. It seemed as if someone had specifically planned it that way, and if that was so, it could explain why the media was there so quickly. Marissa was born into a prestigious family. So, she had experienced that kind of situation many times. At that moment, she took Jenna's hand and smiled. "Please don't disturb our shopping plans. Today, we've come out to buy something for the men at home." She said that in order to signal to the outside world that their family members were on good terms and there was nothing wrong, so that there wouldn't be random speculation. However, it couldn't stop the situation. Upon hearing that, the media became even more curious. "Madam Marissa, how do you feel aft
"Madam Jenna, are you looking for us?" Paul asked politely on the phone. "Yes, I would like to meet you two brothers. Grandma has already told me about your affairs, and I will be paying your salary in the future. Right now, I have something important to discuss with you," Jenna said very seriously on the phone. "Okay, Madam Jenna, let's meet at the caf? in front." Paul immediately agreed. Jenna then ended the call. In the quiet and secluded caf?, Jenna sat in a corner and used a teaspoon to stir the coffee in the cup. A moment later, two young men wearing caps with jeans and t-shirts came in. "Hello, Madam Jenna." After sitting down, Paul and Irvin greeted her very politely with respectful smiles on their faces. "Hello." Jenna smiled and pointed at the cups of coffee in front of her. "Please have some coffee." After the three of them took a sip of coffee, Jenna asked casually, "Have you guys been in A City recently? I couldn't find you two no
"No, I just happened to pass by here. I saw you sitting here in a daze from a distance," Sergio explained earnestly, shaking his head. Jenna still had her suspicions. So, she kept a distance from him. How could it be such a coincidence? Sergio smiled bitterly. He really had something to do there that day. That place was not far from the Sky Sword Group, and he just happened to pass by, but the woman in front of him was not willing to believe him. He was not afraid of her being the daughter-in-law of the Richards family or her past. He was only afraid of her heart. No matter how he approached her, she was wary of him. That hurt him, and also caused his determination to waver. Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the crowd, and Jenna was forced to take two steps forward. "Jenna, be careful." Sergio suddenly opened his eyes wide. He saw a man rush out from the crowd behind her with a bright knife. He was going to stab her heart from her back,
"Sergio, do you feel any better? Let's eat first," Jenna said to Sergio as she filled the bowl with food. "Okay, thank you." Sergio stood up and came to the dining room. The sight of the steaming aroma of the food and the attentive woman made him feel warmth. He could only dream of this. However, it was a reality that day. Sergio's heart was filled with emotions, and he was extremely excited. "Jenna." He stepped forward, took Jenna's hand, and looked at her affectionately. Jenna looked up at him and when she saw the light in his eyes. She hurriedly withdrew her hand. "Eat while it's hot. You don't want it to turn cold." Jenna lowered her head and said, "Drink some hot soup first. This soup is good for your health." She hurriedly sat down on the other side of the table and placed a bowl of soup in front of him. Then, she lowered her head and started eating. She decided to leave after the meal. Right then, the news of her injury
As night fell, in Richards Manor, the entire Green Jade Garden was brightly lit. Seeing that Jenna hadn't returned at that hour, and after watching the murder attempt broadcast on TV, everyone in Green Jade Garden was in a panic. Hansen was sitting uneasily in his bedroom, burning with anxiety. He personally searched for an afternoon, and he even ordered Alvin to mobilize the Grand Eagles, but they couldn't find any clues. Where did she go? Her cell phone was turned off all the time too. She must have been with Sergio. They left the hospital at the same time. Since he injured himself for her, given her personality, she would definitely take care of him. D*mn woman, even so, shouldn't she have called home? Didn't she know that the entire family was worried about her? He walked out of the hall anxiously and headed outside. Whenever he thought of the fact that she was with Sergio, his eyes would burn with anger, and he would clench his fists tight
Hansen stood up immediately and was about to rush out, but he quickly suppressed that impulse and calmed himself down. He then sat down and started to sort out his thoughts. Hansen was more and more aware of the fact that Sergio was a threat to him, and it tensed him up. Very good, he finally came. It just so happened that Hansen wanted to meet him too. He was in the investigation office that was specifically set up for Sergio. Hansen walked in with a desolate expression. Sergio was sitting on the couch. His right arm, which was placed on the armrest, was wrapped in white gauze. He was reading the newspaper carefully with one hand, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. His relaxed expression was very glaring to Hansen, which made his heart throb with a sharp pain. "Sergio, what the hell do you want? Where's my wife?" Once Hansen stood firm, he looked at Sergio with a pair of fierce eyes and asked solemnly. Sergio was a publ
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
