Inside the luxurious presidential suite, it was as warm as spring. Jenna had been brought to the suite by Hansen. The warmth enveloped her, melting the coldness deep in her heart little by little. She wasn't used to staying in such an upscale hotel, but at this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of calm. Everything seemed to feel right and natural. The feeling was extremely shocking to her! "Jenna, stay here for the time being. I'll bring you to buy a new set of clothes tomorrow." Hansen approached her, his voice gentle. Even though Jenna was surrounded by so much luxury, her mind was still clear. "Mr. Richards, that doesn't make any sense. I can't stay here," she said calmly. "Doesn't make sense?" Hansen sneered. "If things made sense, we would be making love to each other on this bed right now." Jenna didn't expect him to speak so explicitly, her face flushed immediately. "Mr. Richards, even if I really am your wife, that's j
"Jenna, I'm sorry, I was too excited today." There was a sense of defeat in Hansen's eyes. He then raised his head and said in a heavily aggrieved voice, "But, Jenna, you're my wife. We still have a child we have to raise together. This is an indisputable fact. Even if my actions hurt you, you must know that this is my love for you." Jenna's heart felt like it was torn apart, and she took a step back. Because of his kiss, her flushed face gradually became pale, and her heart was pounding uncomfortably. At that moment, Hansen's eyes were full of confusion. His face was full of grievance, like a lost child. She had to admit that he didn't look like he was lying at all. "Mr. Richards, I have already lost my past memories, and I do not doubt the authenticity of your words. But no matter what, you are a stranger to me right now. What you've told me is one side of the story, and I can't give you my answer right now, but give me time and I will find out. And please, I
"Mr. Yintern, he's in the meeting room. I'll take you there," said the secretary warmly. She seemed to have never seen such a serious expression on his face before. Steffan merely nodded his head and did not object. In the spacious conference room, Hansen was sitting on the reception chair. His side profile was as cold as ice, perfect and flawless. Even his thick glasses were unable to hide his cold gaze. Alvin stood by his side with no expression on his face. "Mr. Yintern, this is Mr. Richards. He said that he has something to talk to you about..." The secretary informed him as they entered the room. "Prepare some tea." Steffan waved her off. "Yes." The secretary obeyed and left. He walked over in a solemn and natural manner, sitting down on the opposite side of Hansen. "You've found her," he said calmly, the expression on his face as calm as the waves. Hansen lifted his brows, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He rai
"Am I really Hansen Richards' wife?" Jenna sat in the office, looking at the ceiling in a daze with her head tilted. "Thump. Thump." A series of sounds came from her ceiling upstairs. Sitting on the office chair, Jenna could even feel the floorboards shaking. "What the h*ll are they doing?" The building had a total of 28 floors, and Yintern Group occupied the third floor. Jenna's office and Steffan's office were on the same floor, which was on the 20th floor. Jenna had never cared about who lived on the floor above her. The floor above her, which had always been quiet, was then filled with an uncomfortable noise, and Jenna's eyebrows were knitted together. After a while, she turned on her computer. She stared at the computer, with the screen frozen on the Wikipedia page for quite some time. Then, she lifted her fingers and entered the name 'Hansen Richards' without hesitation. "Dory, do you still feel unwell?" When Steffan walked in, Jenna was
"Well, Dory, since the Richards Group will be renovating their office, there'll be no peace downstairs. Why don't we take the rest of the afternoon off and go for a walk?" Steffan stood in front of her, as the hammering sounds continued to glisten the air. The environment was indeed bad, so how could they possibly work? Upon seeing the situation, Jenna was helpless. She could only nod her head in agreement. "How about this? Let's pay a visit to Mr. Tangger. Who knows? The good-for-nothing master might have found a partner by now. Let's have a look at their relationship development." Thinking about Zevulon and his infatuation with that woman, Jenna giggled. "Yes, that's fine." "Let's go then." Steffan smiled. The two of them walked towards the exit. Before they left, Steffan looked up at the ceiling with a serious look and a cold smile on his face. When he walked out of the door, it was quiet in the corridor, and only Jenna's office was exceptionally noisy.
Surely enough, after a while, she heard Madam Lilian speak with a heavy voice, "Quina, for a powerful man like him, it is too difficult for him to be faithful to others. I am old and my daughter is disabled, my only hope is for my granddaughter. Just think about it, Jenna and Hansen have been married for so many years, and what is the result? All the while when Jenna was with Hansen, she was always injured and bruised. She has suffered more than the average woman. I have seen Hansen's loyalty towards her, but at least until now, I think Hansen is not the perfect man in protecting my granddaughter. This man can't even protect his own woman, and she had to suffer through so many consequences. Although sometimes it was unintentional and was driven by external forces, it makes me feel uneasy. Men with power are more attractive and difficult than ordinary men. I don't want such things to happen again." "And so." "I would like to see how Hansen, who has experienced ups and downs
Jenna and Steffan were both stunned! "There, there, Mr. Tangger. Tell us what we can do for you. Even if we can't help you, at least we can listen to your troubles." Jenna knelt down and tried to comfort him. "You two, it's okay." After a while, Zevulon dried his tears, stood up, and staggered towards the bedroom. "I'm going to have a rest. Both of you can go back home." When he just walked towards the bedroom, he held the door frame, turned back, and hiccuped as he said, "Oh, by the way, don't worry. I will have Melvin come to your company to work with you. If the car designed by Melvin and Dory is truly a perfect combination, then it will truly benefit the company. Such an opportunity can't be missed." After saying this, Zevulon continued wobbling forward. He was only a few steps in when he flopped himself on the bed and lay still. When Jenna and Steffan walked in, he was already snoring. Steffan shook his head with disapproval. After cleanin
The two of them sat face to face by the window. "Steffan, I remember that Earl Grey is your favourite tea. Shall we have that then?" Jenna skimmed over the list of teas handed over by the waiter and said with a smile. "Get that then, Dory. I'm truly happy that you still remember such details." He spoke in a somewhat serious yet excessive manner. The luster in his eyes could warm one's heart. The way Steffan spoke, it pushed Jenna further into her guilt trip. He had been nothing but kind to her. Jenna was not a fool at that point. From the moment he had taken her from the States to Srirano, his care and consideration had been constantly meticulous. In this vast sea of people, she was moved by the fact that there was a man who cared about her so much. Therefore, she cherished their friendship and was even willing to give him a chance. Until then. She didn't seem to think so anymore. To her, there was no love between them. In order to mainta
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
