Kevin felt his forehead break out in a sweat and wiped it with his hand as he averted his gaze. “Sorry, Jen. I made you remember something bad.”He knew everything Shawn Sadler had done to force Jenna into divorce and relinquish all her marital assets.“It’s in the past now.” Jenna looked down but very quickly turned her gaze to him once more. “I’m saying all this so that you won’t overthink it. If you insist on leaving, it means you don’t see me as a friend anymore.”Hearing Jenna say that, Kevin broke out into a smile. “How dare I still leave when you’ve already said so?”Jenna smiled when she saw that he had finally let it go.The obstacle between the two seemed to disappear as they looked at each other and smiled.Kevin took a pear from the fruit bowl and began munching on it as he sat on the bed, saying to Jenna, “For the past two days, I’ve been trying to restore the deleted chat logs on Isabella Summers’ phone. Though it seems someone hacked into her phone before this and
Seven thirty o’clock that night, Quinn returned to Sparrow Garden with Sam.The moment he entered the house, he could hear the sounds of bickering. When he looked in the direction of the noise, he noticed Jenna and Kevin huddled on the sofa in the living area playing games.From his viewpoint, he could just see Jenna sitting on the single sofa on the right side, curled up in the chair.Jenna seemed to especially love the color green, as she was once again wearing a light green mesh skirt that covered her snow-white legs today. Her delicate ankles were folded together and seemed as if they would break with just a bend. Her round toes would contract one moment and stretch out the next, exhibiting her restlessness.Looking at her beautiful feet, Quinn’s Adam apple inexplicably bobbed.He handed the jacket in his hand to the helper standing by the side and walked into the living area, sitting down on the sofa opposite Jenna’s.“Jenna, can you change your sitting position?”He rememb
Quinn could smell the faint scent of white tea coming off her body, and he frowned lightly. “Do as you see fit.”“That won’t do. No matter how you look at it, I’m still your wife. Since I’m going back with you to meet your elders, I must strive to give them a good impression of me.”As Jenna said that, her hand had already reached over to rest on the man’s broad shoulders. “Why don’t I play the part of the proper young lady, then? The elders always like that type.”“Why did you still ask me if you’ve already decided?”“I was afraid you might have other opinions.” Jenna’s red lips leaned close to his ear as she whispered, “If you like something else, how about I bring another set over and only wear that for you?”Quinn grabbed the woman’s wandering hand. Looking at her flawless face, he narrowed his eyes.“Is this the real you? Someone who simply likes to flirt and tease?” Quinn leaned his body forward, closer to her. “Or was your brain damaged by that drug, and we need to get Jac
“I haven’t been to the company in so many days. I probably have a lot of work piled up by now.”Jenna pushed the chair away from the table and got up. “Quinn, I’ll wait for you in the underground garage after work.”Seeing she was insistent on going to work, Quinn did not say anything further. “About Isabella Summers, I’ve instructed Sam to look into it. My men have told the public that when you encountered Shawn Sadler at the hotel, Shawn Sadler attempted to assault you.”Jenna smiled. “I was worried that Isabella Summers’ death would be linked to me, making me unable to return to work. So, thank you, Quinn, for taking care of things so flawlessly.”She rounded the table and walked to the man, kissing him on the cheek as if it was a reward.Quinn was speechless. The news about Seabright Group’s director attempting to r*pe his ex-wife seemed to have spread to practically every corner of the internet.When the person involved, Jenna, arrived at Elysian Group, it was not just the
Jenna learned a lot from them and had an unusually fulfilling afternoon.After work, she said goodbye to her enthusiastic colleagues and took the elevator down to the underground garage carrying a large bag.Among the many expensive cars, the black Maybach, whose number plate was also black, was still unusually conspicuous.For the sake of going back to the family home to eat, Quinn had instructed Sam to postpone his plans for the afternoon. He came to the car before office hours even ended and used the time while waiting to look through a few emails.When he heard the car door being pulled open, he raised his head to see Jenna get in with a shopping bag in hand.Quinn instructed Sam to drive and then glanced at Jenna once more. “Didn’t you say you were going to dress up as a proper young lady? Did you change your mind at the last minute?”“Sam, please stop by Jade’s Flower Shop.”After Jenna finished speaking to Sam, she pressed the button for the car divider. Then, she pulled
“Just so you know, this potted dendrobium orchid has participated in a famous competition before and is worth over ten thousand!” Then, tapping her lips, Jenna smiled faintly. “If the flower isn’t enough, there’s still this mouth of mine.”“Mr. Forester, I married you just to make your grandmother happy. I’ll definitely be able to do it.”Quinn frowned lightly at the change in the way she addressed him but did not say anything.At 6.40 p.m., the car arrived at the Forester family home.The Forester family home was located in the southernmost part of the city and was originally the residence of a minister during the 17th century.At the time, the old Madam Forester had been tired of staying in Portica and wanted to return to Hevedburgh. So, the old Mr. Forester used his connections to buy this residence and hired a famous architect to renovate it.From then on, the old Madam Forester stayed here.Every Christmas, the other Forester grandchildren would rush over from Portica to ha
When the woman raised her head to ask him, Quinn could clearly see that her thin eyebrows were raised. Other than the smile in her eyes, there was also a trace of cunning.Quinn knew she was doing it on purpose.He only knew that Jenna had studied overseas for a few years but not that she knew of Ivy Langham.However, looking at Jenna’s expression, she probably knew Ivy Langham’s identity before she came. Quinn cast his gaze toward Ivy Langham standing in front of him and saw her bite lightly down on her lip, her face pale. His brow furrowed imperceptibly.“Darling?” Seeing the man fail to reply, Jenna’s red lips curled slightly. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”“You can address her however you like. The rules here at the Foresters aren’t that strict,” Quinn said indifferently, retracting his arm from Jenna’s hands and instead patting her back.“Go and greet Grandmother.”The corner of Jenna’s lips curled mockingly as she looked in the direction of the man’s gaze and saw a re
“Don’t stand out here anymore,” Quinn spoke. “Your back will hurt if you stand for such a long time.”The man’s voice was indifferent as always. However, Ivy could sense the concern in his words, and the jealousy and the sullenness in her heart instantly dissipated.“Mm.” Ivy smiled softly at him and instructed a helper to prepare a cup of the tea Quinn liked and send it to the living area.Jenna had been deeply saddened by her grandmother’s death. After coming here, meeting the old madam, and seeing her gentle smile, as well as how easy she was to talk to, she could not help but rely on her.She peeled an orange for the old madam to eat as she chatted away with her, feeling a sense of fulfillment in her heart that she had not felt in a long time.Although Ivy Langham had also come to the living area, it was obvious the old madam preferred to chat with Jenna. There were no openings for her to cut in either, so she peeled an apple and cut it into slices, pushing it toward Quinn.T
