Chapter 540


    The Ink Garden was surrounded by greenery. There were lush trees, chirping birds, and fragrant


    flowers, which made the surrounding air particrly pleasant.


    When Jenna finished her work in the office, she slowly walked out of the Ink Garden after visiting


    Vivian.


    As soon as she stepped out of the gate, she could see a long and quiet corridor in front of her.


    "Greetings, Madam." Jenna lifted her head and saw that Paul was greeting her while bowing to her.


    "Paul?" Jenna was a bit surprised. She didn''t expect to meet Paul in the Ink Garden at that point in


    time.


    "Madam, I''m here to visit Vivian. So, I thought I''d visit you as well." Paul smiled as he exined.


    "Oh." Jenna gave a faint smile after hearing his exnation.


    "Madam, in another two days, Mr. Richards will be marrying Liya. You won''t have any other


    thoughts, right?" Paul looked at her and asked worriedly.


    Jenna clenched her fists for a moment and loosened them. She smiled bitterly in her heart, but her


    face remained calm.


    "It''s no use even if I have any other thoughts. Don''t worry. I won''t do anything stupid. Haven''t you


    heard that I''ll be personally hosting the wedding forthem?"


    The smile on Jenna''s face was very bleak as she said bitterly.


    Paul looked at her particrly pale face and sighed, not saying anything in the end.


    Jenna read something from Paul''s eyes at that moment. "Paul, could it be that you know something


    and hadn''t told me about it?" Thinking back to that day when she brought Liya to visit Vivian, even


    though she didn''t say anything, she still sent Paul and Irvin to Africa two months prior, as if it had


    something to do with ude. Vivian seemed to have predicted something, could it be...


    "Paul, tell me, was it Grandma who wanted Hansen to marry Liya? Did she have the intention to set


    this scheme up long ago?"


    Thinking of those strange things, she couldn''t help but to ask again.


    Paul''s gaze was calm. "Madam, if it''s possible, Vivian isn''t even willing to see Liya. So, why would


    she expect her favorite grandson to marry her?"


    At that point, heughed again. "Madam, in fact, we don''t know much about Mr. Richards''


    arrangement, but I do know he has his reasons for doing this. Madam, Mr. Richards'' and Liya''s


    wedding is only a wedding ceremony, and they won''t be going to register," Paul said, after thinking


    for a while.


    That was the inside story Paul had learnt of. In order to prevent Jenna from concerning too much


    about it, he chose to tell her that after some careful consideration.


    Actually, Irvin had always been active in the war-torn country. From there, he received a piece of


    news that ude would be escorted back to A City on the day of Liya''s wedding. However, the


    terrorist organization was dissatisfied with that matter. Whether ude could safely return to A City


    was still unconfirmed, and he couldn''t predict if something else would happen after ude returned


    to A City either. Right then, he was very worried about the matter. Hence, he had reason to believe


    that Reid bringing ude back to A City definitely had something to do with Hansen''s and Liya''s


    wedding. Due to that, he also went to investigate and found that Hansen and Liya hadn''t registered


    yet. Only then did he seem to understand Hansen''s intentions.


    When Jenna heard Paul''s words, she was immediately stunned. Only then did she recall the


    problem regarding their registration. It was obviously impossible to carry it out locally, and Hansen


    had never mentioned going abroad to her either. It was because Hansen kept the whole matter a


    secret to her, and did not tell her anything that she assumed that they had already registered.


    "So, he''s doing this for a purpose, right?" In any case, Jenna was happy to hear that Hansen didn''t


    register their marriage with Liya. However, in the traditional sense, holding such a grand wedding


    ceremony and inviting guests to the banquet would already be epted by everyone as a fact due


    to A city''s tradition, even if they didn''t go through the legal procedures. Therefore, it was still totally


    possible for Liya to still remain in Richards Manor. After asking that question, Jenna felt overjoyed


    for a moment but she turned sad in an instant.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    She lowered her head, and there was still a sh of pain in her eyes.


    "ude Richards. You know him, right?" Paul suddenly changed the topic and asked softly.


    "ude?" Jenna widened her eyes in shock. What did he mean?


    "Madam, Liya''s uncle, Reid, had kidnapped ude, and he belongs to a terrorist organization in the


    war- torn country. Hence, this wedding is most likely just a trap set by Mr. Richards, so that he can


    lure Reid out and make him give ude back. After all, life is the most important thing.


    Nevertheless, this is only my own spection. Madam, no matter what happens in the end, you


    must be mentally prepared to ept reality. Of course, on the day of the wedding, I will always


    follow you to protect your safety." Paul was unable to confirm the entirety of Hansen''s n.


    Nheless, from the information he received, it was likely that the terrorist organization would take


    action. They probably wouldn''t allow Reid to hand ude over just because of Liya''s wedding.


    Hence, the matter would have many variables. From Vivian''s orders to him, he had to ensure


    ude''s safety as well as Jenna''s.


    "Madam, you can rest assured that I will give you an update if I learn of something new. You


    shouldn''t worry too much. Let''s meet one step at a time." After saying that, Paul left in a hurry, as if


    he had something urgent to do.


    After Paul left, Jenna''s heart actually calmed down a lot. Surely enough, there were many factors in


    Hansen''s wedding. Although she had long guessed it, she still felt slightlyforted after hearing


    Paul''s words that day.


    She stood there for a while before slowly walking towards the Green Jade Garden.


    After walking for a short distance, she felt dizzy. She also had a faint ufortable feeling in her


    stomach and had the urge to vomit. So, she leaned against the tree and rested for a while.


    Jenna went back to the second floor of the Green Jade Garden with much difficulty. Shey on the


    couch and thought of the scene of Liya running towards Hansen''s Hummer, which made her feel


    even more ufortable.


    Ever since she knew how Liya thought of Hansen, whenever she thought of her or saw her, she


    would feel disgusted. If things continued on, how would she continue to live her life in the future?


    She theny on her side and closed her eyes, as she felt somewhat sleepy.


    Hansen''s car directly drove into the underground parking lot of Richards Manor.


    When he was still in the car, his mind was filled with Jenna''s pale and sallow face. He had seen


    such a face before, and it made him feel devastated and nervous.


    He felt very tense.


    That feeling made the blood in his body flow quicker.


    Due to how busy he was, he did not pay much attention to Jenna during that period of time. Even if


    they slept together, he did not think much about it.


    He got on the electric vehicle and stopped at the gate of Green Jade Garden.


    All of a sudden, he understood what that feeling was.


    It was the feeling of guilt.


    Why did he feel that way?


    In the past, he had always been staying by Jenna''s side, but he did not notice that she was


    pregnant.


    Jenna was pregnant with Jerry, but she didn''t tell him. Instead, she resolutely left him.


    That kind of heart-wrenching feeling was deeply engraved in his heart.


    He couldn''t forget it in his lifetime.


    Although it was long ago in the past, he still felt very uneasy when he saw how yellow Jenna''s face


    was that morning. Yet, he still left in a hurry as he had important matters to attend to.


    Nevertheless, that feeling seemed to have connected all the senses of the past, and he gradually


    recalled all the memories.


    That was why he rushed home.


    When he reached the second floor, the corridor was so quiet that even the air seemed to have


    stopped flowing, but his heart was pounding


    wildly.


    He pushed the door open.


    Jenna''s delicate figure was lying on the couch, with her hair all over the back of her head. Her soft,


    silk-woven, padded jacket was clinging to her body. Hansen could see her chest heaving slightly,


    and he could even smell her fragrant breath.


    She was sleeping soundly.


    Hansen slowly approached her and knelt down to study her face.


    He gently touched her beautiful hair.


    Jenna woke up with a start due to his actions.


    She opened her bright eyes and met with Hansen''s clear and spirited eyes. Those eyes were filled


    with concern and consideration, as well as a hint of guilt.


    "Hansen, why are you back?" Jenna found it strange that she was able to see Hansen at that


    moment, but it also made her feel delighted as well. She stared at him with her bright, ck eyes,


    and since she had just woken up, her gaze was slightly drifting.


    "Jenna, I''ve missed you. So, I came back to see you." He smiled, stretched out his strong arms, and


    pulled her into his embrace. Then, he sat on the couch with her in his arms.


    Jenna''s face flushed when she heard his corny words.


    "Jenna, you don''t look goodtely. Is there anywhere you feel unwell?" Hansen asked in a soft and


    gentle manner.


    Jenna thought for a while and shook her head.


    Could she say that whenever she saw Liya, she would feel disgusted, to the point that she wanted


    to puke?


    However, Hansen''srge hand caressed her jaundiced face and forced her to look straight into his


    eyes.


    "You''ve been in poor spirits these few days, and yourplexion is even worse. That''s why I came


    back to bring you to the hospital to have a checkup." With that, Hansen picked Jenna up and


    prepared to go out.


    "Hansen, I''m really fine. You don''t need to bring me to the doctor." Jenna did not think that she was


    sick in any way. She only felt tired and was a little sleepy. In terms of herplexion, how good


    would a woman''splexion be when her husband was about to take a second wife?


    "No, this time, I must take you to the hospital for a check-up. Otherwise, I won''t be at ease." Hansen


    ignored her protests and carried her out, without giving her a chance to speak.


    Before that, it was due to her opposition that he did not insist on bringing her to the hospital.


    Therefore, Jenna''s pregnancy and Jerry''s birth became very sorrowful. That was what Hansen felt


    most guilty about.


    The most painful thing for Hansen was that even though his wife was by his side, he still didn''t know


    that she was pregnant, and was even malnourished. The fact that his own child didn''t have the best


    care and even had dystrophy was what Hansen was most upset about.


    That time, he couldn''t be careless. Besides, they didn''t use any contraceptives when they made


    love. So, it was totally possible for her to get pregnant.


    His child deserved the best care. Otherwise, what was the point of him working so hard?


    With the previous experience, he did not dare to be careless at that time.


    Regardless of whether she was pregnant or not, he had to follow through to the end.
