Chapter 197


    Hannah suddenly let out a groan and rolled her eyes.


    It seemed that this man was ruthless on top of being an idiot. He did not even know that his woman


    was pregnant and he still had the audacity to ask about her health.


    Thinking of how Jenna had pleaded her so miserably, she only spat onto the ground and said


    bitterly, "F*ck you. You know she''s sick but you still hurt her. You left her in pain and tears. You''re no


    man.1''


    Hansen listened with his never- faltering smiling face, not daring to have any hints of anger.


    "What kind of a man are you, standing here? Do you really care for her? As far as I can see, you


    are ying with her feelings. If you''re sincere enough, you should ask for her forgiveness in person


    and take care of her the best you can. Ask me my a*s, you only make me feel fake. You arrogant


    jerk, hurry up and leave. Jenna doesn''t want to see you and me sure as h*ll don''t either; you only


    taint my poor eyes. Please don''te again, you''re not weed here. If you dare to disturb us


    again, I''ll call the paparazzi over. I''ll smear your face with dirt and ruin your reputation. I''m reminding


    you that I''m not Jenna. You don''t stand a chance against me," Hannah spat out the words like


    bullets out of a shotgun, leaving no space for him to interrupt in between.


    After putting Hansen in his ce, she picked up her things on the ground and turned to walk away.


    "Bah, this sucks. What bad luck to have this scumbag harasses us on such a good day," she


    purposely raised her voice as she left. Obviously, she spoke the words loud and clear to humiliate


    him.


    Hansen stood there helplessly, staring at her distancing figure.


    He did not dare to offend Hannah even after she had bombarded him with all the yelling, nor was he


    in any way angered. He was only worried that he would never see Jenna again.


    It was the holidays. ording to the rules of Richards Manor, all members of the Richards family


    must gather in Ink Garden for a reunion dinner. He felt an emptiness in his heart; he had wanted to


    bring Jenna back for dinner. Judging by the circumstances, this would be impossible and he feared


    that it would be difficult to even meet her once.


    Feeling depressed, he walked out of Cloud Residence and drove around the streets before


    returning to Richards Manor.


    That year''s reunion dinner was doubly bleak.


    Vivian was glum with a heavy heart.


    Norton had not returned to Richards Manor for days as he had to cooperate with the police


    investigation. In fact, he had been detained. It was certain that he would not make it to the dinner.


    Naturally, Jenna would not be joining either.


    Aria was allowed to join and she was the only one at the entire table who was smiling brightly. She


    sat

    next to Hansen and stuck to his side tightly, practically glowing.


    Hansen merely stayed on his seat, his face void of expression as he drank sses and sses of


    wine.


    Vivian was disheartened to see this situation, thus she excused herself from the table early.


    After she had left, ude felt even worse and his family followed suit not longter.


    The reunion dinner was deserted, not an ounce of a joyous atmosphere. In fact, there was a


    depressed sadness throughout dinner.


    "Larry, help Aria back hometer." Marissa did not want to stay here for a long time. Worried that


    Aria would catch a cold while being pregnant, she muttered a few words to Larry before leaving.


    "Hansen, stop drinking. Alcohol isn''t good for your body." Aria stayed beside Hansen, not wanting to


    let go of this once in a blue moon opportunity. She sped his arm and persuaded worriedly.


    "Leave," he said coldly and chugged a whole ss of wine.


    "No, Hansen, I want to stay here with you. If something is troubling you, please tell me and I''ll help


    you. If you needpany, I''ll just stay beside you. I''m willing to give you anything." She caressed


    his face, her nails a striking red. She stared at him with longing and said softly. Her fingertips glided


    across his face and chin, before pausing on his lips to stop him from drinking.


    "Go away," he pushed her hand away and said in disgust, remaining unmoved to her offers. He


    continued to drink wine one ss after another.


    "Hansen, please stop drinking, okay?" She saw that he had not taken even a bite of the food. He


    merely drank wine until his face reddened and his eyes grew with more agony. Her heart ached for


    him as she loved him after all. She could not bear to see him in such pain. When she thought that


    every time he was sad was because of Jenna, she felt increasingly irritated.


    In the past when he married Jenna, he too was unhappy. At that time, he was depressed to the


    point that he drank one ss after another on their wedding day, just like this. Now that they were


    divorced, he did not need to care about her anymore, yet he was still unhappy and drinking. Why on


    earth was he acting this way?


    Why could Aria not get him to drink for Jenna, to linger for her?


    The jealousy in Aria''s heart grew into a poisonous tree and she was dissatisfied even more.


    She would not lose to Jenna''s beauty, but why was he hung up over that woman?


    Clenching her hands, Aria grabbed the bottle of wine and poured one full ss for Hansen. After


    that, she looked at him with doe- like eyes and pouty lips. "Hansen, it doesn''t matter if you don''t love


    me but you have to cherish your body. Our baby and I are counting on you. Hansen, stop now,


    okay? I’ll be here with you. I can give you whatever she can give you."


    Speaking of this, she buried her head on his arm and sobbed.


    Hansen was already muddled from all the drinking. Initially, he knew that it was Aria sitting next to


    him. But after a couple of drinks more, he started to lose his consciousness. Looking into the eyes


    of the woman in front of him, his mind was full of Jenna.


    "Jenna, your body isn''t well, go back and rest." He shook his head, grabbed the woman in front of


    him by the hand, and slurred through his words, "Jenna, why won''t you believe me? I''ve only ever


    had you in my heart. You promised me that day that no matter what happens, you would believe


    that I love you but why has it changed?"


    He held Aria''s hand, his face awfully red. He reeked of alcohol as he muttered his pleads.


    Aria''s face paled at once.


    Sure enough, there was only that woman in his eyes and his heart, and his love had all been given


    to Jenna at present!


    Anger took up the form of a lump stuck in her throat. Aria felt miserable.


    An eerie light shed in her eyes. After a while, she smiled sweetly and said softly, "Hansen, stop


    drinking. I have always believed in you. Come, let''s go home."


    She was afraid that he would speak more while drunk, therefore she stood up hurriedly. She


    gestured towards Larry and both of them helped him up.


    Butler Maud was daydreaming at a corner. Upon seeing this, he hurried over and said with a smile,


    "Miss McAdams, since you are pregnant, let us take care of Young Master."


    "Alright." Aria''s strength was really limited and he was indeed too heavy for her to support.


    Butler Maud beckoned another security guard and they carried the drunk Hansen toward Green


    Jade Garden.


    When Hannah got upstairs, she saw that Jenna was packing her things.


    "Jenna, what''s this for?" she was mortified and asked hurriedly.


    "Hannah." Jenna looked up at Hannah, who stood in front of her with a face full of surprise,


    question, and disbelief. She smiled and said, "Thanks for all these days, my best friend. I''ve been a


    nuisance while I stayed here."


    Nuisance? What was she saying?


    Hannah''s eyes fell on her stomach and her face darkened.


    "What do you mean? Do you want to leave?" she asked in a deep voice.


    "Yes." Jenna nodded and took Hannah''s hand. "I''m leaving tonight."


    "Leaving for where?" Hannah was unhappy, her brows furrowed as she questioned.


    "Richards Manor," Jenna replied in a low voice, her gaze empty.


    "What?" Hannah cried out loud as if she heard an absurd joke. "Going back to Richards Manor, are


    you out of your mind?"


    Hannah then ced her hand on Jenna''s forehead, muttering to herself, "No fever, that''s weird."


    Jenna was speechless and amused. It was not only Hannah that felt weird about her returning to


    Richards Manor, even she herself found it unbelievable. However, the things that happened in the


    past few days had cleared up her confusion. She had thought it through, long and hard, and she


    had to go back. She had a feeling something was bound to happen soon.


    A long timeter, Hannah saw the determination in Jenna''s eyes and understood that she was


    serious.


    "Jenna, what do you really mean? Youe and go whenever you like without discussing it with


    me. Are we still friends?" She was displeased.


    "Hannah, I''m sorry." Jenna pressed her lips tightly as pain shed in her eyes. She exined


    slowly, "I''ll go to the hospital and see my mother first. Then, I''ll return to Richards Manor."


    She had not seen her mother in a long time and it was the holiday season. It was only right that she


    went for a visit.


    "Jenna, have you really figured it out?" Hannah asked again, unwilling to believe her.


    The question stung Jenna''s heart hard. The pain prated into her like a poisonous snake''s


    fangs. Slowly, the pain spread throughout her body. She simply nodded and wept.


    She had been thinking about this issue for days and finally made up her mind. There were some


    things that could not be exined clearly to Hannah. She could only squeeze Hannah''s hand.


    "Hannah, I know you''re the one who cares for me the most. It is the greatest honor of my life to


    have a good friend like you. Thank you for being here for me but some things are difficult to exin


    at the moment. Just trust me, I will not go back to be humiliated. I am already an adult. I have my


    own measures, please don''t worry about me."


    As she was about to finish, her nose was running and the tears that were stopped with huge efforts


    just a while ago had fallen again.


    Hannah let out a heavy sigh and said sadly, "Jenna, if you insist on doing this, there''s nothing I can


    do. I can''t tie you up and force you to stay but I really am worried about you. You are not just a


    single person now; you have a child in your belly. The situation is worse than before. If you return to


    Richards Manor again, I can''t help but feel that you''re jumping off a cliff."


    Hannah felt helpless. She understood that Jenna wanted to avenge Javon, but could a weak


    woman really do it? Even Paul could not have done anything about it; what could Jenna do?


    However, her stubbornness was one big headache. She was a rock that she could not persuade.
