Chapter 290


    "Are you alright, Jen?" Rayan could tell that she was embarrassed. He sighed in his heart. He


    already told this silly woman that she should have hired a stylist to help with her outfit for an


    asion like this, but she wouldn''t listen, and now she was embarrassed.


    Aria''s dress was meticulously designed and nned. Rayan was never interested in women''s


    beauty that relied on makeup and pretty outfits. In fact, he despised them the more he saw them.


    But during an asion like this, he had no choice as all women would dress up like this, except the


    silly woman in front of him of course.


    "I''m fine." Jenna replied lightly as she smiled with her bare but rxed face. She never enjoyed


    such vanity, so it never really affected her. She strongly believed that a woman''s beauty didn''t have


    to be disyed in such a way, and she was very confident in her own beauty.


    "Jenna." Sabrina walked over tofort her as well. Aria grabbed everyone''s attention when she


    arrived, and Sabrina felt ufortable too. She was even more worried about Jenna. After all, she


    was pregnant, and she was afraid she could not take it.


    She didn''t believe that the child in Jenna''s belly belonged to another man at all. As a woman, she


    could tell that Jenna truly loved Hansen.


    "Look at her arrogant look. She''s so shallow. It''s disgusting to look at," Sabrina said with great


    disdain.


    Upon hearing this, Jenna raised her bright eyes and looked at Sabrina.


    She was wearing a in, pink dress that day, with a very simple design, but it wrapped her body


    nicely and highlighted her curvy figure. She did not do her up or braid it, but instead let it drape on


    her back naturally. With her yful smile, she had a youthful aura apanied by her immense


    beauty.


    "Tsk tsk, you''re the prettiest. I love your style." Jenna joked as she looked at her with a littleugh.


    Sabrina blushed and smiled yfully at Jenna, revealing two cute dimples on her cheeks. Her face


    was blushing like a youngdy. She was gorgeous.


    "Jenna, I told you that you should''ve changed into a prettier dress, but you didn''t listen to me. Now


    she''s taken all the attention away from you, and Hansen probably won''t bother talking to you as


    well," she said grudgingly as she pouted.


    Jennaughed at her words, pursed her lips and said, "Sabrina, you and I are only the hosts of the


    banquet today, not the important guests, nor the Richards family members. Our responsibility is to


    run the banquet well, not to put Richards Manor to shame, and to make sure that the guests are


    satisfied. Other than these, nothing else matters, do you understand?"


    Sabrina couldn''t say anything, so she blinked, smiled and said, "I understand."


    "That''s great. Why don''t you lead these guests to the lounge?" Jenna used her eyes to gesture at


    Aria and her family, who were being photographed by the reporters, and asked Sabrina for help.


    Sabrina understood Jenna''s predicament, so she agreed.


    After a while, the media reporters finally dispersed, and Aria and the others walked towards the right


    side.


    "Hansen." In a nce, Aria saw Hansen standing calmly at the right side, and hurriedly walked over


    to take his arm, with a very affectionate expression.


    The reporters who had just dispersed immediately gathered around them again, and started asking


    them questions while taking pictures.


    "Mr. Richards, I''ve heard that the two of you are getting married soon, and the news is even


    published in the newspaper. It mustn''t be fake this time right?" a reporter asked jokingly.


    "Of course. We have set the date on the eighth of this month, only one week from now." He did not


    answer, but Aria answered earnestly instead. Hansen furrowed his eyebrows a little, but then


    quickly disyed a bright smile on his face.


    "Congrattions to the two of you. The both of you are a match made in heaven, I''m envious," the


    reporter eximed.


    "Yes, I''ve heard that you''re already pregnant too. I wonder if it''s true," another reporter asked.


    Aria posed for the camera as she answered, "I''ll not answer this, leave us some personal space."


    With a shy expression, she leaned her head against Hansen''s shoulder. It was obvious that she had


    admitted it without saying it directly.


    "That''s double the good news. Congrattions, Mr. Richards." the reporters wished them.


    "Mayor McAdams, Miss McAdams, please follow me to the reception room." Sabrina walked up to


    Earl and Aria, who were standing aside, and said politely. She was getting annoyed as she heard


    Aria answering the reporters.


    "Alright." Earl also felt that their limelight was overwhelming, so he simply nodded, and was about to


    follow Sabrina in.


    "Dad, Mom, please follow Sabrina. I should be here with Hansen and Mom to wee the guests."


    The minute Aria entered the Ink Garden, she saw Jenna helping Hansen wear his corsage, and


    Hansen looked at Jenna the whole time. The two of them were so focused on each other that they


    didn''t realize Aria was walking towards them. They looked so close that the jealousy in Aria''s heart


    exploded. They were about to get married soon, how could she give such a good chance to Jenna?


    Besides, the owners of the house should wee the guests, so she should stand together with


    Hansen to wee the guests.


    "Miss McAdams, technically speaking, you haven''t officially married Hansen, so you can''t stand


    here to wee guests for the time being," Sabrina said as she looked at Aria hatefully. She didn''t


    want to wee guests with her.


    "Mom, Hansen, do you think I could stand out here?" Aria asked the two people beside her as she


    heard Sabrina retort her and felt embarrassed.


    "Sabrina, how about you take Mayor McAdams and the others in first. Aria and Hansen are about to


    get married soon. Just let her stand here." Marissa immediately came to Aria''s defense the minute


    she heard her call.


    "Yes, Aria should stand here with me." Hansen nced at Rayan who was standing beside Jenna,


    and spoke lightly with his icy re.


    In a sh, Sabrina''s face darkened.


    Aria, on the other hand, had a big bright smile on her face, and was extremely happy.


    Earl was satisfied with Hansen''s words, while Georgia showed a triumphant smile, and Marissa also


    smiled widely.


    Sabrina had no choice but to bring Earl and his wife inside.


    "Aria, take care of your body. What happenedst time should never happen again. Take good care


    of her, Hansen. She''s pregnant." Georgia said with worry. Before leaving, she red fiercely at


    Jenna.


    "Don''t worry, Mom, I will." Aria smiled sweetly.


    Hansen nodded too.


    "Remember toe and rest immediately if you feel unwell." Even when she was a few steps


    away, Georgia still turned around and said loudly, as if she wanted the whole world to know about it.


    Jenna kept a smile on her face the whole time. When Earl and Georgia passed by her, she could


    clearly feel the threat from their eyes, but this didn''t make her feel disheartened at all. Instead, she


    felt as if a knife was slicing through her heart when she saw Hansen smile and take Aria''s hand.


    Losing him made her heartbroken.


    She already knew that the impact he had left on her was too great, and that she would never be


    able to forget him. That moment, she could feel how true it was.


    She bit her lip and pinched the ring in the pocket of her coat. She had the urge to throw it away, but


    she resisted it.


    No, she must not show any pain at this time.


    The light in her eyes could be impure, arrogant, or indifferent, but it must not be painful, and it must


    not be seen by anyone, especially Hansen.


    He never belonged to you, so why go through the suffering? She thought. This day was bound to


    come.


    Touching her belly with her hands, a sense of responsibility reced the feeling of pain in her heart.


    Waves of guests began to arrive.


    "Jen, let''s go inside. They don''t need you here," Rayan said as he saw Hansen holding Aria''s hand


    while greeting the guests, and did not look at Jenna at all. He was worried that Jenna would be


    depressed.

    Jenna looked around and realized that she didn''t have much to do there, so she smiled and nodded


    her head.


    The two of them turned around and were about to walk inside.


    "Jenna." Hannah Adames'' voice could be heard from a distance. Jenna turned around in surprise,


    and saw Hannah in a grand outfit walking towards her. She couldn''t help but to feel happy.


    She almost forgot that she had invited Hannah Adames.


    Hannah was dressed elegantly and looked dignified. Her in yet stylish dress made her stand out


    among the crowd. She held her head up high, and didn''t even bother looking at Hansen and Aria as


    she passed by them. She directly greeted Jenna and walked up to her.


    "Hannah, you''re finally here. I was just about to go in." She smiled and took her hand fondly.


    "You don''t think about me normally, but you called me up for an asion like this. Are you


    expecting me to speak up for you?" Hannah asked seriously, ncing at Hansen and Aria, who


    were standing close together.


    "Hannah, please don''t cause anymore problems, please." Jenna had a headache when she heard


    her saying this. "I just want to thank you and repay you for taking care of me.


    Hannah snorted coldly, scoffed at the couple, and then shook her head.


    "Jenna." While Jenna and Hannah were talking andughing, two girls ran towards them. Jenna


    looked up and was even more surprised. The cheerful girl standing in front of her was dressed in


    casual clothing, and looked young and sweet, lively and adorable. She couldn''t help but to exim,


    "Zoey."


    "Jenna, do you remember me?" Zoey came over and gave her a hug. With her big and harmless


    eyes, she asked innocently, "Jenna, you don''t hate me, do you?"


    Jenna was startled for a while, but returned to her senses very soon. A burst of sorrow rose up in


    her heart, and she forced a smile.


    "What are you saying, Zoey? How could I ever hate you, that''s impossible."
