Chapter 173


    "Absurd." Grandma Richards was disappointed.


    "Aria is pregnant, isn''t she?" She asked, trembling.


    Hansen''s eyes froze and his body too.


    "Hansen, is she carrying your child?" Grandma Richards''s tone became heavier again.


    Hansen was dumbfounded and couldn''t say a word.


    "Hansen, is this who you are?" Grandma Richards said sternly. "You got her pregnant, and then


    drove her away. What are you? Is this what the men of the Richards family do? How can you do


    such an irresponsible thing? If you let others know, what would they think? I want to ask, who else


    can you convince in the future? How can you be trusted? And how would you lead the staff of the


    Richards Group and grow thepany?"


    Grandma Richards'' s repeated questioning made Hansen shocked, as if he was struck by lightning.


    His face turned pale and he stood upright, unable to speak a word.


    "Hansen, people have to be responsible. Being a human is far more important than doing things.


    The righteous one is not afraid of a shadow. As long as you are a good person, you don''t have to


    worry about anything, but you yourself are confused. If you can''t be an upright and kind-hearted


    person, then why should you lead others and demand from others. We are a distinguished family.


    Honesty and reputation are very important. You are a descendant of the Richards Family, and you


    must pay more attention to your words and deeds. You are already an adult, so you must bear your


    own mistakes. No one has the responsibility to tolerate your mistakes. If you did it, you must bear


    it." Grandma Richards''s voice was cold and hard, without any partiality.


    "No, Grandma, the person I love is Jenna. I have never loved Aria. Never. I can see now that the


    person I want to marry is Jenna." Hansen had realized what Grandma meant and he hurriedly


    emphasized.


    Didn''t Grandma always value Jenna? How could she change at the moment?


    "Nonsense." Grandma Richards said sharply. "If you don''t love Aria, why did you get her pregnant?


    Don''t you know about responsibility? A man who does big things knows what he should do and


    what he should not do. Don’t you at least have thismon sense?"


    Hansen waspletely dumbfounded.


    Originally, he sought support from his Grandma regarding Jenna''s matter, but it seemed that it was


    impossible. Even his Grandma''s opinion hadpletely changed.


    "But, Grandma, Aria''s pregnancy is not my intention at all, and I don''t want to be like this. It was


    plotted by the d*mn Norton. Grandma, I never loved Aria. Why would I touch her?" Hansen was


    desperate.


    "Well, I''ll ask you again now. Is the child Aria carrying now yours? You just need to tell me this now,"


    Grandma Richards asked with a slight trembling in her eyes.


    "I..." Hansen was speechless for a while, he recalled the scene when he woke up at Hilton Hotel


    that night.


    He could not speak.


    Grandma Richards understood everything.


    Norton had been a troublesome child. In fact, for so many years, Grandma had refused to let


    Norton''s mother, Maria, enter the Richards Family. It was not really because of her status, but


    because of the woman'' s behavior. Someone was sent to investigate, and neither she nor her family


    had a good reputation, so the old man was firmly opposed to this.


    After Norton was born, considering that he was not in a good environment outside, he was often


    taken care of in Richards Manor. Gradually, Grandma discovered that the child had a strange


    personality and deep thoughts, and he never expressed his mood easily. There were even times


    when his mindset was filled with intention for revenge. Thinking of his environment made Grandma


    worry.


    The old man seemed to notice it too, but he could only train him to go into the field of politics with


    the reason that he was meticulous and was able to act firmly.


    There were really few offspring, and Mrs. ude had no other children.


    Therefore, Grandma Richards took the lead and brought in Maria, and both her son and daughter,


    so that her son and daughter could grow up in a better environment and be useful people.


    However, she didn''t expect that Norton would still be like this.


    Now she really had nothing to say except to be sad.


    As for Hansen, she had always loved him, so naturally, her expectation for Hansen was higher.


    The reason why Grandma opposed Aria in the past was based on her own judgement, and she was


    not optimistic about her, but now, the situation was different. Aria was pregnant with Hansen''s child,


    so no matter how reluctant Hansen was, this child belonged to the Richards family. It was their flesh


    and blood.


    To be a man, he must be responsible, and since Aria was pregnant, Hansen must take up the


    responsibility.


    This was her request for Hansen.


    Obviously, Aria had been with Hansen for more than three years. Now that Aria had his child, and if


    Hansen didn''t like her, who would believe it? If Hansen really didn''t like her, why did he not say it


    earlier? Why did Hansen have to say that he didn''t like Aria when she was already pregnant?


    Aria was not the sole reason that things happened. Hansen was also responsible.


    Besides, who was the person behind Aria? Earl McAdams.


    How could he let go of Hansen and the Richards Group?


    Even if the Richards Group did not copse, Hansen would be peeled off.


    Such things, Vivian knew them all.


    She had to guard Richards Group and Richards Manor for the rest of her life, so that her grandson


    could live well. Now, she had no choice.


    "Hansen, everything has been caused by your own carelessness. Now no matter who you like or


    love, it is useless. You are a man from the Richards family. You must never be called ungrateful.


    You have to bear some responsibilities," Grandma Richards said nkly.


    Hansen suddenly felt cold all over, and his eyes werepletely dark.


    "No, Grandma, wh-why did you change? You have always liked Jenna, and Jenna is the daughter-


    inw recorded on the ancestor''s tablet. She was included in our Richards family tree, right?


    Grandma, I should marry Jenna, right?" Hansen suddenly squatted down. Squatting in front of


    Grandma Richards''s legs like a child, he looked at her eagerly and asked.


    Grandma Richards lowered her head, looked at his helpless and sad face, and sighed deeply.


    "Hansen, you are so stupid. So what if I like Jenna? Four years ago, I gave you Jenna, but what did


    you do to her? Didn''t you divorce her? But now, you can marry Aria. You have this opportunity, but


    you changed your mind. You want to marry Jenna. Can you tell me the reason for this? What should


    I say about your behavior? Now, it’s a fact that I can’t help you anymore. If I insist on my choice, it


    will be hical, and everyone willugh about it.” Grandma Richards shed a few tears and


    trembled when she said this. "Children, ancestral tablets, genealogy, these things are just for me to


    make you wake up when you lose your way. I just used the current social phenomenon to buy you


    some time to make you sober. What era is it now? Can these things fight thew? Earl is a public


    servant, and he naturally knows the invibility of thew. These are useless. Everything is in front


    of you. You have no choice in the face of justice and morality."


    Hansen waspletely devastated and his whole body went limp. He had a dull expression on his


    face.

    Only Jenna''s crying pale face was in his mind. At that moment, Hansen truly realized that it was


    very likely that he would lose her.


    The intense grief and anxiety in his heart enveloped him, as well as the pain that went deep into his


    bone marrow. It felt as if a knife had peeled his skin and flesh while he was still alive. Such pain


    could make his heart cramp.


    He didn''t know what to do.


    "Child, my words are already very clear. Own up to your own faults, learn your lesson, and believe


    that the evil in this world will never win over the righteous. There will always be the day when the


    clouds are lifted and the sun rises," Grandma Richards said earnestly andforted.


    Hansen''s face was emotionless as he stood up.


    He didn''t know how he left Ink Garden. He walked aimlessly, desperate, like a lonely wild ghost


    without a soul.


    Why was this happening?


    At that time, he was unwilling to marry Jenna, but his grandmother resolutely opposed him. He was


    in pain and was helpless and got himself drunk with wine. At that time, there was at least one


    reason, an excuse, at least there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, the fantasy of the girl in his


    dream. So, he put all his energy into his work and dealt with it coldly.


    Now, he wanted to marry Jenna but got opposition from everyone, including his grandmother. He


    would not hesitate to bear all infamy for her, and even throw away all his future and fame, just to


    marry her.


    But his courage was too ridiculous. He was too naive.


    He was a descendant of the Richards family. His grandmother did not allow him to do this, his


    mother did not allow him to do this, and secr morality did not allow him to do so. What had he


    done wrong?


    "Madam, it seems that Hansen really likes Jenna. His expression is not fake. Could you bear to


    watch him marry Aria? To be honest, Aria is a bad egg. Although her status is prominent as the


    mayor’s daughter, I don''t like her, and she is definitely not worthy of Young Master. The Young


    Master is very good in other aspects except that he is a little confused in feelings. If he marries her


    like this, in the future, they will not be happy,” Meroy looked at Hansen''s sorrowful back, and said


    very worriedly.


    She thought that the olddy would not be so confused that she couldn''t even tell her this. After all,


    the wife of the Young Master will be the Madam of the Richards family, and in the future, the heir of


    the Richards Manor. She will have great influence over the Richards family. The Young Madam


    couldn''t be sloppy, but she unexpectedly heard Grandma Richards''s lecture to the Young Master.


    She thought that she was just deliberately frightening the Young Master. But soon, Grandma


    Richards''s painful voice rang.


    "Hey, this kid woke up toote. It''s toote. If he doesn''t marry Aria, he would have wronged her


    and even face Earl''s retaliation. He is now in trouble. I can do nothing. No one has to bear the


    consequences for his mistakes. No one can help him. He has no choice now. The matter can only


    depend on God’s will. Unless the child in Aria''s belly is not Hansen''s, he can''t choose. Maybe this is


    because the Richards Family has not done enough good deeds to deserve a wife like Jenna."


    When Grandma Richards said this, she felt sad and she shed tears of grief.


    Meroy was also dumbfounded. She thought that Grandma was just scaring Hansen and would find


    a way to stop this. After all, she liked Jenna, and the couple now had a solid emotional foundation,


    which should be a happy thing for everyone. Therefore, she did not expect such a change. Even the


    olddy stopped insisting.


    Could it be that Young Master had no choice but to marry the pretentious woman? If that was the


    case, she was afraid that the Richards Manor would not be peaceful in the future.


    She took a deep breath at the thought of this.
