Chapter 348
Jenna went to the room to search for Jerry''s clothes and picked up a few sets. Just in case Hansen
disliked his son wearing such poor clothes. She then took out her daily necessities and put them in
bags. She remembered what Hansen had said to her before she left and looked very anxious.
When she came out again, Sara had already stood up.
"Mom, I''ll help you to bed," Jenna said softly. "Jerry is suffering from pneumonia, so he''ll probably
have to stay in the hospital for a few days."
Sara held her hand and spoke with a serious face, "Jenna, were you with Hansenst night?"
For such a long time, it was the first time that Jenna hadn''te home at night. That night, she
didn''t dare close her eyes. In Wullen Town, there''s no one she knew, so she was worried about her
safety.
However, that day, when Hansen came back with her, she suddenly understood everything.
"Yes, Mom." Jenna dared not to look into Sara''s eyes, so she lowered her head and answered in a
low voice.
"What is he doing here? Did hee for you? Or did he have other purposes?" The smile on Sara''s
face was gone and her voice became stern.
Jenna was a little scared. She didn''t know if Hansen hade here for her or if he had some other
purpose. She wanted to have a talk with him the day before, but Jerry''s sudden illness had
interrupted her. So, she really couldn''t exin everything.
"Jenna, what''s your n? Go back with him? Or let him take Jerry away?" Sara''s eyes were more
serious than ever and her voice was a little cold.
"Mom..." Jenna didn''t know how to answer her. She looked up at her mother''s serious face. The
sorrow in the depths of her eyes could not be concealed and her heart was slightly bitter. After a
while, she looked up and whispered, "Mom, he is not married."
This was the information she got when she searched for his name on the inte, that he was not
married.
"Of course he''s not married." Sara had a calm expression on her face and a look of understanding
in her eyes.
"Mother, you knew?" Jenna raised her head in surprise.
Sara''s face darkened and she said in a t, monotone voice.
"Given his current status, there''s only one exnation for him to appear so openly in front of you
and Jerry. That is, he''s not married and has no worries. Otherwise, you and Jerry would be his
scandal and his stain. No matter how much he loves you, he''ll have to pay attention to his image
and wouldn''t dare to offend his wife at home."
This sentence made Jenna''s heart surge with a trace of excitement. "Mom, if it''s really like this then
that means he loves me sincerely and wants to take me back, right?"
"So, you want to go back with him to be a wealthy housewife?" Sara asked sharply without any
hesitation rather than answering her question.
Jenna was stunned for a moment. The starlight in her heart was extinguished in an instant. She
looked at Sara and couldn''t speak.
Sara watched her daughter''s every move as if she could see through Jenna. Her hands, which were
holding onto the crutches, were trembling.
Jenna wanted to help her sit down, but she wanted to stand there, as if she were showing some
sort of determination. She was
adamant and would not allow anyone to vite her.
"Jenna, you must listen to me this time. This matter cannot be rushed. No matter how much Hansen
loves you, how many reasons he has, to take you and Jerry away, I would notpromise." Sara
clenched her teeth and her face was filled with determination.
It wasn''t until this period of time that she truly understood her daughter''s situation in the Richards
family. As long as she thought of Jenna''s fate in the Richards family, her heart ached. She even
wanted to die.
"Believe me. Men are like this. They won''t cherish things that are easy to get. If he really wants to
marry you, he and the Richards family must show more sincerity," said Sara with a clear and
definitemitment.
Speaking of this, she looked at Jenna''s confused look and sighed. She took Jenna''s hand and
spoke.
"Jenna, it was our fault back then. It was your father''s fault. I shouldn''t have listened to Vivian''s
words and married you into the Richards family. During this period of time, I truly understood what
kind of life you have lived with the Richards family. This kind of life is too lowly for a woman. Why...
Why didn''t
you tell me all of this earlier? If I knew this earlier, I would have taken you home immediately. You
are smart, beautiful, and sensible. However, the Richards family treated you like trash. They didn''t
give you a position and even the maids dared to bully you. I would never be able to forgive them for
this. These days, whenever I think of this, I cannot sleep and eat in peace. I feel extremely guilty."
Sara let out the breath that was caught in her chest. She had always wanted to say these words but
when she recalled that her daughter had already broken away from the Richards family, she didn''t
want to mention it again. She was afraid of triggering her sorrow. However, now that Hansen had
appeared, she had no choice but to say it. She had to remind Jenna.
Jenna closed her lips tightly and her heart was so bitter that she could not bear it.
"Jenna, I know that you still love Hansen. I know all too well in my heart. However, this time, I would
neverpromise again. One can''t stoop too low in the name of ''love''. Otherwise, it is not worthy to
call it ''love''. Love is absolutely equal for everyone involved. What''s more, our family is in decline
now. We have no money and no position. We can''t afford to get close to the Richards
family." Sara''s voice became louder and louder. She knocked the floor with her crutch and said, "He
was the one who divorced you that day and now he wants you back? Who did he take us Murphy
family for? Does he think that no one would want you? We may be poor, but we would never give up
on our principles."
The more she spoke, the angrier she got and her voice trembled. It was better not to mention these
things. It was obvious that Marissa Sotomayor had treated her daughter that way because she felt
that she was too poor for their family. So, she helped Aria McAdams trample on her daughter. She
had always made things difficult for her daughter. Since ancient times, the rtionship between
mother- in-w and daughter- in-w was difficult to deal with but Hansen was such a jerk. He had
forced her daughter to escape to America for three years. In those years, she looked forward to
seeing her daughter every day, but her daughter always said that she had to study and had no time.
Now that it was evident, they were the ones who forced Jenna to wander off in foreignnds alone.
She only had one daughter. If she didn''t fight for her and didn''t lecture her now, what would happen
to her in the future?
"Mom, please, stop talking about this. Let''s
go to sleep." Jenna held Sara tightly and she begged desperately with tears in her eyes.
"Jenna." Sara touched her face and also hugged her. She murmured, "I think that we''re the ones to
me. As parents, we have failed to give you a good life and could not support you from the
sidelines that caused you to be looked down upon by others in the Richards family. However, now, I
have figured everything out. Prosperity and riches are really nothing. As long as people live happily,
it''s enough. You are now 28 years old and yet you have not lived a normal life since you''ve married
into the Richards family at the age of 20. We don''t need their wealth. The youth of a woman is way
too precious. You can''t afford to gamble it away again. I hope you can find a man who really loves
you and that you could live out the rest of your life with the man who could make you happy. Do you
understand me?"
Jenna''s head was exploding. She understood Sara''s worries. Her attitude was clear. She rejected
Hansen and did not think much of the rich life of the Richards family.
"My child, the greatest happiness for women is not being extravagant or having a luxurious life. It is
to find a man who loves you, and to live a stable life. You are already at this age. If you marry into
the Richards family again, with
what had happened to you before, he, Hansen who had been tempted by Aria before could also be
seduced by other women too. If such a thing happens again, your life would be ruined. Think about
it, am I right? If Hansen was wise enough, how would the two of you get here today? Besides, he is
not an ordinary man and there are too many halos over his head. There are all kinds of temptations
at any time. Being his woman, you would face more dangers than any other women. I don''t want
you to take these unnecessary risks. In the past, when we had our family background, you had lived
such a difficult life. Now that we had lost everything, you would only have hardships waiting for you."
Sara''s words were eased and low. She was worried about Jenna as her mother.
Jenna''s encounters in the Richards family, especially when she knew that they divorced, had
caused her heart to ache so much that she could not fall asleep for the entire night.
Everyone had their own children. Was there ever a mother who did not love her own children? Her
daughter had to fight for herself in the Richards family. No one loved her and no one cared for her,
while Norton Richards tried to snatch away Javon Murphy''s position. All of these caused Sara to be
upset.
She had never been a woman who would let people trample all over her. She would risk her life to
protect her daughter.
Jenna stood there in a daze and her heart was in a mess. It took a long time for her toe to her
senses. She said with a bitter smile, "Mom, I know what you''re trying to say. Don''t worry, I know
what to do."
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
"Okay." Sara stroked her daughter''s soft hair and nodded. Her daughter had been obedient and
sensible since she was a child. It was just that her fate was not good and she did not get the
happiness that she deserved. However, she believed that God would always give her the happiness
that she deserved. "Jenna, I could only be at ease when you are happy. Promise me, if you and
Hansen could not get through this, you must give uppletely and find a good man to marry in the
future." She heaved a long sigh and dered heavily.
Upon hearing this, Jenna''s heart started to tremble and she was filled with fear.
Could she ever fall in love with someone else in this life?
She slowly walked into the bedroom. Her whole head was dizzy and only Sara''s words kept ringing
in her ears.
Sara remained standing as she stared at
Jenna''s despondent back. Her gaze was as deep as the sea.
"Jenna, believe me. Hold on a little longer."
"You are my only daughter. I have to be cautious about your happiness. Who is Hansen right now?
He''s one of the wealthiest people alive."
"I don''t know how many women want to marry him. However, you are just a down-and-out girl. If
you two get together again, could you live a stable life in the future?"
"I could disregard the past, but the future is what I''m most worried about. Unless I could see real
hope, I would persist to the end this time."
"Jenna, you have to understand my worries. If you''re going to follow him back to the Richards
family, my objection now is just to fight for your position in the family."
