Chapter 226


    "Oh." Rayan nodded thoughtfully. He stopped himself from taking more steps before asking with


    concern, "Jen, how is your mother?"


    "She''s fine. Thank you," Jenna replied in a low voice.


    "That''s good." Rayan was nothing but smiles. "I will visit her one day."


    "Thank you but there''s no need for that." Jenna lowered her head. She thought that he may not be


    able to even if he wanted to. That b*stard Hansen ced a lot of guards on the eighth floor. If


    Rayan went, he would definitely not be allowed into the ward.


    "Jen, you''re still the same after so many months. You don''t take care of yourself enough." Rayan


    sighed and touched her head.


    It was surprisingly cold during winter this year. After being outside for a while, Jenna felt like an


    icicle. She couldn''t stop shivering.


    "Jen, are you cold?" Rayan saw her trembling slightly. He walked in front of her to shield her from


    the cold wind.


    The cold wind blew the snow off the branches and a string of snowkes fell onto


    Jenna''s hair.


    The snowkes trickled down her hair and fell on her neck. Jenna ducked into her scarf, shaking.


    "Your body hasn''t got better since thest time I saw you. You are still so afraid of the cold." Rayan


    pitifully looked at her and reached out to brush the snowkes off her head. Jenna felt her hands


    and feet getting more numb each second. She couldn''t even see the vaporing out of her


    mouth.


    She stretched out her hand strenuously, removed the snowke from her neck, and brushed it


    away.


    Rayan grabbed her hand.


    "Your hand is freezing." Rayan''s warm hands squeezed hers. He breathed into her hand, trying to


    warm her up.


    Jenna looked at him, her gaze blurred.


    Her mind was filled with memories of the nights when she was snuggled in Hansen''s embrace. He


    hugged her and covered her with his coat, wrapping her up like a cocoon. She remembered his


    warm chest as she rested on his warm chest. She didn''t feel cold at all. It was so warm.


    That night seemed much colder than it was at present.


    She was so cold at this instant. Even though she was wearing a coat, the wind chilled her to her


    bones.


    She stared at the night sky nkly, her gaze unfocused.


    Tears flowed down her cheeks.


    It hurt so much.


    Rayan was looking at her as his gaze was slowly filled with doubt and pity. He felt an array of mixed


    feelings.


    She was shedding tears in front of him but the tears were not for him!


    A hint of jealousy crept into his heart.


    If her tears were for him, he would definitely pull her into his arms and show her the love she


    deserved. Unfortunately, they were not for him.


    He couldn''t understand her pain but his heart shuddered with every tear she shed.


    "What''s the matter? Jen," he called anxiously, reaching out and wiping away the tears on her face.


    Jenna stood nkly, numb.


    "Jen..." Rayan called her again.


    "Ah..." Jenna finally came back to her senses and her eyes met Rayan''s worried nce.


    "Are you okay?" Rayan asked with concern.


    "I''m okay, Rayan, my stomach is a little ufortable. I want to go home. Let''s keep in contact.


    Since you came to my city, I should treat you to a feast. I will call you when I have time." She


    avoided his nce and smiled lightly.


    "Are you still living at Richards Manor?" he looked at her and asked seriously.


    "Yeah." Jenna nodded, very calmly. "Rayan,e to the manor and find me if you need anything."


    Go to the manor to find her? Rayan stared at her in disbelief. He did not seem to fully register what


    she said. Was she really okay with him going to Richards Manor to find her?


    "Is everything okay between you and him?" After a while, he finally asked.


    Jenna stared at the ground, knowing who he was referring to.


    She smiled. Avoiding the question, she replied casually, "I''ve inherited the manor. Me staying there


    has nothing to do with him."


    After saying this, she felt chills running down her spine. Her stomach was bloated. She had nothing


    in her stomach but she did not have the appetite to eat. All she wanted to do was to go home and


    sleep.


    Rayan''s gaze intensified. Jenna dodged his question, which meant that his assumption was true.


    He kept silent for a while.


    Why did this woman have to be so stubborn? Was she staying in the manor to find out about her


    father''s death?


    "Okay, let me send you back." Her face had be paler and she was shivering all over. Rayan


    was very worried, therefore he insisted on sending her.


    "There''s no need to trouble you." Jenna shook her head.


    "No, you are in no condition to drive. Let me see you off. Please don''t make me worry." Rayan was


    stubborn this time. Jenna actually looked pretty terrible and would copse any moment.


    Jenna could only agree.


    They got into the expensive Rolls-Royce. The heaters in the car were on full st. Jenna was


    instantly enveloped in warmth and it took a long time for her breathing to finally stabilize.


    Sheid in the back seat, closed her eyes slightly. She did not speak anymore.


    Rayan was silent the whole ride, lost in his own thoughts.


    The car stopped in front of Richards Manor.


    "Thank you, Rayan," Jenna thanked him and got out of the car. She waved Rayan goodbye before


    walking inside.


    Sitting in the car, Rayan saw her figure disappearing into the depths of the manor. He was silent


    and the light in his eyes was dull. They held an unrecognizable emotion.


    As soon as Jenna stepped into the living room of Green Jade Garden, her eyes fell on the empty


    sofa.


    She walked up to the second floor and asked the two guards, "Is Young Master back?"


    "Miss Murphy, Young Master has been sent back to the bedroom on the first floor," Haward replied


    in a low voice.


    "Okay, thank you." Jenna nodded. She wanted to ask him how Hansen was doing. However, she


    felt it was unnecessary, hence she walked straight to her bedroom.


    She slept soundly that night. In her dreams, she heard the cry of a baby and her heart sank. She


    jolted from her sleep the next day, obviously still in a trance after another sleepless night.


    "Jenna, where did you gost night? You came back sote." Sabrina came in energetically and


    asked as soon as she finished getting ready.


    When Jenna lifted her head, she saw Sabrina''s blush along with her charming smile. She looked


    like a little girl who fell in love for the first time. Jenna frowned when she thought of what she saw


    the previous afternoon.

    "Sabrina, can I ask you a question?" Jenna spoke in a serious tone after hesitating for a while.


    "What is it?" Perhaps Sabrina was frightened by how serious Jenna was, she looked at her


    curiously and the smile on her face disappeared.


    "Do you like Norton?" Jenna looked at her and probed.


    "I.." Sabrina obviously never expected Jenna to ask something like this so early in the morning. The


    blush deepened on her face. She was so embarrassed.


    Did she like Norton?


    Perhaps she did!


    When she was very young, she often came to Richards Manor. At that time, she often followed


    Norton around. Many years ago, she knew that Old Master Richards and her father had arranged a


    marriage between Norton and her. Since then, when she saw Norton, she had theseplicated


    feelings and would look at him differently.


    "I am his fiancee," she blushed and replied softly.


    "I know but do you like him? Do you love him?" As a woman, Jenna understood Sabrina''s thoughts


    and couldn''t help but take pity for her. Yet, she still wanted to know how she truly felt.


    "I think so." Sabrina blushed and nodded, her thoughts were slightly fuzzy.


    Jenna felt her heart throb.


    "Does Norton like you?" she asked solemnly.


    "This..." Sabrina gave her a somewhat confused face and looked straight at Jenna, not knowing


    how to answer.


    Norton treated her very well. Whatever she desired, he gave it to her. However, she had never


    really thought about whether Norton had feelings for her.


    Norton was hard to read. The more she could not read him, the more she wanted to find out. As


    long as she saw him, her heart would beat like crazy. This feeling was unforgettable and she


    thought it should be love!


    Sabrina made sense of it this way.


    "Sabrina, you are still young. You will slowly understand. Remember not to get yourself in too tough


    of a pickle," Jenna sighed and gently reminded her. Thinking of her own situation, she couldn''t help


    but feel sad.


    Sabrina really didn''t understand what Jenna meant but she nodded her head anyway. She looked at


    Jenna, puzzled.


    Jenna didn''t say anything afterward. After all, no two people''s journey would be the same.


    Moreover, she assumed that Sabrina had no idea what was going with Norton at the moment. With


    that being said, she didn''t want her to get hurt. However, she was busy dealing with her own


    problems too.


    In the 88th floor''s office of International Kinsey Center.


    Hansen massaged his temples as his head was throbbing.


    He got drunk with Christopher the night before. When he woke up, he found himself in his bedroom


    on the first floor of Richards Manor.


    New Year was closing in. Work was piling up ever since Jenna resigned.


    Jenna resigned without his consent. It was because of Aria''s pregnancy. She believed that he had


    betrayed their love, therefore she nned to go against him, which really was causing him a


    headache.


    But, the most important thing was how much he cared for her and missed her. He was reluctant to


    confront her in fear that she would be upset, hence he kept it all to himself.


    After a busy morning, just as he was about toy on the sofa to rx, Alvin came in in a huff.
