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
"Mr. Richards, I think we should go and teach that pathetic excuse of a man a lesson. He's too full of himself! He knows that Jenna is your wife. It's bad enough that he did not relinquish Jenna unto your hands, the least he could do is to keep a distance from her. Not only did he not do that, but he also took advantage of Madam's memory loss to weasel himself into her heart. D*mn, that dude." Alvin's sharp eyes stared at Steffan, who was escorting Jenna. Sparks of anger lit up in his eyes. That was the first time in his time serving Hansen that he was this incensed. "Have they come out?" A cold glint flashed in Hansen's eyes. He took a deep drag of his cigarette and asked with a dark expression. That morning, Jenna had taken advantage of the time when Richards Group was busy in the office and ran out of the hospital. On top of it, she went back to that contemptible Yintern Group to work. Did this d*mned woman need to be so dedicated? It should be noted that he was her husb
"Do I have your approval?" A hint of mockery flashed across the corners of Hansen's mouth. "Jenna, will you give me this chance? If I patiently wait till you're ready, then I'm afraid that in the future, the one by your side would no longer be me, your husband, but that homewrecker, Steffan. If that's the case, then that would be such a waste, and it's unfair to me. If time is what you need, then there's no problem. From today onwards, I will show the utmost patience by accompanying you until you regain your memories." Crimson red painted across Jenna's face and ear, while she said in annoyance, "What nonsense are you spouting? Be reasonable!" She didn't agree with Hansen's description of Steffan. It was true that Steffan was in love with her, but it wasn't like he wanted it. It was no fault of his. Besides, choosing whom to love was in their own right. "Am I being unreasonable?" Hansen smiled sarcastically, his voice turning cold. "I'm here today to judge your reason
That morning, Hansen had specially done his research on the internet. People who lost their memory should not be forced into recollecting their memories as this would worsen the patient's state. It was obvious that Alvin was too hasty and hadn't factored this into his decision. Alvin only realized this when he saw Jenna's agonized expression. However, it was already too late. Luckily, he had only explained the condition of Hansen's eyesight. He lowered his head, feeling a little guilty. Hansen gave him a hard stare and turned around. He reached out his hand and embraced Jenna. He whispered into her ear affectionately, "Jenna, it's fine to forget everything about the past. It wasn't anything wonderful anyway. I was also a jerk. I once hurt you deeply, but I can guarantee that it was all unintentional. Just forget about the past. From now on, I will give you everything that you need, I will make you feel like the luckiest woman alive. It is not too late. We still have countle
"Somehow, the conditions here are too simple and crude. It can't possibly suit your needs." Jenna's face was red as she fumbled for an excuse. "You can endure living here, so why can't I? Didn't you say that a husband and wife should advance and retreat together, and should be willing to suffer together?" Hansen smiled as he declared his decision righteously. Jenna was speechless, and she huffed a breath in annoyance. "Well, whatever floats your boat. I don't care." Her face was red, and she reached for the eye medicine. "Come on, take your medicine first." Her tone was stiff. Hearing her voice, Hansen knew that she was annoyed. "First, open your eyes and rinse them with this." Jenna took out the bottle of medicine and carefully read the instruction manual. Hansen was very compliant. Jenna's movements were soft and delicate, as gentle and agile as the spring breeze caressing the surface of his face. Ripples seemed to form in the depths of
"So, you're Mr. Tangger. Forgive my rudeness." Hansen stood in the middle of the room and spoke to Zevulon in an imposing manner. Zevulon was never known for being nosy. Naturally, he didn't think much about the relationship between Hansen and Jenna. When he heard Hansen calling Jenna his wife, he was floored for a long time before coming back to his senses. He then glanced at both Sfeffan and Hansen, and cleared his throat. "Oh, Mr. Richards, nice to meet you. It turns out that Dory is your wife. Forgive my feeble old brain for failing to see this. Well, how about this?" He took a step forward, bowed his head and whispered teasingly, "I always dote on my apprentices, but sometimes I can be a bit harsh. If I had offended Dory in the past, then allow me to offer my apology." As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it under his nose, and sniffed it. Then, he lit it slowly and steadily. "Alvin." Hansen was a wise man. He was clear-headed and immed
As Jenna's hand left Hansen's palm, he felt a gust of emptiness. It was as if his heart was empty. He immediately sought Alvin. "Alvin, have you finished tidying up my office?" Alvin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Richards. I've been working overtime the whole night and now it's finally done." "Very well." Hansen smiled. As soon as Jenna opened the door to the office, a fresh floral fragrance wafted into her nose. She was shocked to see a bundle of roses waiting on her desk. She was stunned. She was sure it hadn't been there the previous afternoon. She gripped the key in her hand. Yes, the key was still with her, so it was impossible for someone to have opened the door to her office. But where did these flowers come from? She walked over, picked up the roses, inspecting them. They were fresh, as if they had just been plucked. She lowered her head and thought for a while. Such a thing could only be Steffan's doing! At the t
Hansen could imagine Jenna feeling all cringey as he held her in his arms, and he started laughing out loud. Jenna stretched out her hand to thump him, but he grabbed it and seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Jenna was completely defeated. A five-minute task turned into a thirty-minute task with Hansen's constant teasing. After applying the medicine, Hansen had no intention of leaving at all. He took out his cell phone and fumbled around, clicking on a news channel. Putting on a pair of headphones, he lounged on the couch. Jenna had long been acquainted with Hansen, that scoundrel. If he didn't leave, then she wouldn't be able to force him to leave either. She just pretended that he didn't exist. The hour of the car exhibition was approaching, and she couldn't delay her work anymore. Refusing to pay him any heed, she walked to the desk and continued her work. However, she was really not used to having someone stayi
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
