Jenna immediately put down her pen and said to Xavier, “Then we’ll go get the residence permit done and come back another day.”She picked up her documents and her bag, then got up first.Xavier knew it was not possible to get it done today and could only give up. He put away his identification documents and led Jenna by the hand out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.The two had just exited when they were immediately surrounded by the reporters who had been waiting outside.The lights of the cameras flashed non-stop at Jenna.“Mrs. Forester, why are you at the Civil Affairs Bureau with another man? Have you divorced President Forester?”“Please tell us about it.”Xavier waved away the microphone shoved up against Jenna’s face and held her in his arms. “Yes, Jenna has divorced Quinn Forester. We went into the Civil Affairs Bureau earlier to register our marriage.”When the reporters heard that, they immediately turned their cameras to Xavier.One of the reporters recognized Xavier a
Jenna hung a morose look in her eyes and stayed quiet. “Jenna, not only am I a selfish person, I’m also very vengeful.” Xavier spoke softly, “Since you agreed to marry me, I will never let you get away ever again. You belong to me and only me.” Jenna shut her eyes and waited until her emotions passed over and calmed down. She grabbed onto Xavier's sweater and said defiantly, “Xavier, you better remember what I told you in the cafe the other day. If you say or do something to me, I will never forgive you!” “Don't worry.” Xavier smirked and said gently, “I’m a man of my word, especially when it comes to my wife.” Jenna frowned and released her grip before returning to her seat. “Jen.” Xavier slung her arm above the seat and proposed, “Let’s hold a wedding next February at Saint Wes Church. How does that sound?” “It’s up to you!” “Thank you.” He smiled radiantly and gently. Then, he tucked on Jenna’s seatbelt for her. “Let’s go to The Smokestack. They serve pretty
Around six in the evening, after seeing Xavier off. As soon as Jenna turned on her phone, she saw the trending news and discussions about her divorce from Quinn as well as Xavier's interview. Most people tend to judge someone by their appearance. Certainly, there were very few men who could make long hair look as good as Xavier did. His dashing looks of classical antiquity immediately helped him gain favor with most people. Most of the highlighted posts were of the people urging Xavier to make his debut as soon as possible. Furthermore, some netizens went to extremes. They hurled all kinds of obscenities at Jenna, claiming she did not deserve to be with Xavier. Upon reading these comments, she thought to herself that she would never forgive them if they somehow turned Xavier against her. A thought suddenly came to her. She immediately got into contact with several media outlets. She told them to continue highlighting Xavier’s otherworldly good looks while slanderin
Jenna poured a vitamin B pill from a bottle before swallowing it. As she walked out of the hospital, she unexpectedly met a Maybach parked at the entrance. Quinn was standing next to the car, wearing a large black coat. His shoulders were broad, his legs tall and slender. He looked every bit like a true gentleman. He was in the middle of a conversation with a middle-aged man in a white coat. Soon, he handed several boxes of gifts to the doctor before the two shook hands. Jenna suddenly broke out into a cold sweat. She was not expecting to stumble into Quinn. She hurriedly tucked the bottle of pills and the medical report into her bag before she turned around. She wanted to retreat into the hospital and hide there for the moment. That was when the perceptive Sam noticed her and called, “Miss Jenna.” With that, Jenna turned around and stiffly smiled at Sam. Then, she slowly proceeded down the stairs and went toward them. When the doctor noticed Jenna approaching them
Jenna turned to look and noticed that it was the dual-faced octopus doll she won in the amusement park last time. Presently, the octopus happened to be turned to its grumpy side and was glaring in her direction. She made a look and stated, “I have enough plushies at my place. I don’t need this one.” Quinn did not respond. After Jenna had divided her belongings into four separate bags, he followed her down the stairs. The housemaids had already laid out lunch across the table. When she noticed the two coming downstairs, she asked cautiously, “Miss Jenna, would you like to stay for lunch?” Jenna had been suffering from morning sickness during this period. She would throw up everything she ate before she even had time to digest them. The housemaid had prepared four different dishes paired with a soup. Even from a distance, Jenna could smell the sweet and sour taste of the braised pork ribs, immediately whetting her appetite. She hesitated to refuse the offer. Then, sh
Quinn was silent. He had cooked a couple of meals for Jenna in the past and understood that she was a very picky eater. She would eat all of her favorite dishes at the table and hardly even spare a glance at the ones she did not like. His fork, which was midway through jabbing a piece of pork rib, suddenly stopped. Then, he picked another dish instead. Jenna eased her frown. After the two finished eating, the housemaid brought a dessert to them. After finishing the braised pork ribs, Jenna was full and satisfied with her meal. When dessert was served, she finished a slice very quickly. When she went to the pantry, she approached the housemaid and whispered to her. “I’ve been having issues with my stomach lately and heard that the cure is to eat sour food. Could I have some of those sour plums you mentioned?” “Sure.” The housemaid returned to the kitchen and produced a bag of sour plums from the cabinet to hand to Jenna. Jenna grabbed two bills from her pocket an
At half past twelve, Damian returned with Shawn.Since it was so cold outside, Jenna was unwilling to head out for food. So, she ordered takeout from Golden Elegance and ate at the office with Shawn. While eating, she suddenly looked up and glanced at Shawn. “You sure went on a long business trip this time. Did you manage to close the deal?” Shawn responded faintly. On the way back, Damian had told him everything he said to Jenna. Shawn stated, “The government at Strukha is quite pesky, and I had to go back and forth with them for a long time. The branch there was very new as well. The staff needed more time to gel, so I had to stay longer than expected.” Jenna thanked him. “Thank you for your hard work.” Shawn shook his head. He had always been stricken with guilt when he thought about how he had kept his agenda a secret for so many years and wrongfully killed her parents. After lunch, Jenna took Shawn back to her office. She produced a document and handed
Jenna gave Carina a look. “You haven’t seen many handsome guys in your time, have you?” Carina replied, “I have, but it’s the first time I've seen someone with Director Xavier’s sort of looks. He’s so androgynous, like some kind of deity come to life.” Jenna suddenly felt a little queasy. She set aside the chopsticks and produced a sour plum from her bag to eat it. “Why are you eating sour plums? You need meat!” Carina gestured at Jenna’s bowl with her fork. “You are way too skinny. If you keep going on like that, even a gust of wind will sweep you away. Do you want me to order something else for you?” “My stomach has been acting up these days.” Jenna told her, “I’ll eat later. Just enjoy your meal.” Carina responded faintly. She only calmed down briefly before rambling again. “Weren’t you just celebrating President Forester’s birthday the other day? You two looked like you were getting along back then. What’s with the sudden divorce?” Jenna lowered her eyes shi
