Chapter 605


    After they returned to their guest room, Hansen filled the bathtub with water.


    "Jenna, you''re covered in sweat. Let me help you with that," Hansen said as he stepped out from


    the bathroom. Jenna was lying on the couch with her eyes slightly shut. He wrapped his arms


    around her as he whispered in her ears.


    Jenna did not move away and just stayed in his arms.


    The weather was too hot. Anyone else would be dripping in sweat from just standing outside, let


    alone a pregnant woman like Jenna.


    Hansen gently removed the clothes on Jenna''s body, and helped her dry her sweat off, before


    carrying her into the bathroom.


    Hansen bathed her attentively.


    After the bath, Hansen helped her to change into her pajamas before returning to the bed. They


    were cuddling as Hansen said, "Jenna, I''ll be heading to Capital City tomorrow. You have to take


    care of yourself. I''ve told father to let Lomen protect you for the time being. You can always look for


    Lomen if you need anything."


    "Hansen, is there any news from Capital City?"


    Jenna opened her eyes and asked with a hopeful tone.


    Hansen caressed her belly gently. She was around two months pregnant already!


    Hansen would be extremely excited every time he was reminded of this. He couldn''t express how


    grateful he was towards Jenna for this. He was regretful for not being there during Jerry''s birth. He


    must be a responsible father this time.


    "Jenna, Luqman is taking care of things in Capital City. It shouldn''t be difficult for us to capture


    Ezrah and rebel against him. Luqman is well-prepared. I have to get there myself, and find evidence


    against Yadriel before the Richards Group is convicted," Hansen exined as his breathing grew


    heavy.


    His hand, which was on her belly, started moving up slowly.


    "Hansen..." Jenna called out softly and pulled his hand away before he could reach her sensitive


    spot. Her voice was warm, longing, and slightly afraid, as she could tell what was going on in his


    mind.


    Hansen held her tightly with another hand and buried his head in the crook of her neck. He


    murmured, "Don''t worry. I promise I''ll be gentle with you. I want you."


    His breath was hot and filled with affection.


    Jenna was stimted by his touch. She was trembling slightly.


    Hansen had been restraining himself ever since Jenna fell pregnant. He had been nothing but a


    gentleman each night where they cuddled to sleep. Jenna knew that he was afraid that he might


    hurt her.


    Jenna was a smart woman. If she was inexperienced during her pregnancy, as it was sudden, then


    it was perfectly normal for her to be afraid of this. However, now that she had already given birth to


    Jerry, she was very experienced in this.


    She was aware that they should restrain themselves during the pregnancy, but it was notpletely


    disallowed. They just had to be more careful.


    She slowly let go of her grasp.


    Hansen was delighted with her tacit approval.


    He lowered his head and locked her lips in a passionate kiss. His body was tense.


    She was soft in his arms and had a nice scent. As their tongues touched, he knew he was willing to


    be intoxicated by this kiss for the rest of his life.


    He was addicted to her body each time he felt her in his arms. He just couldn''t wait to unleash


    himself on her.


    They had known each other for a long time, but each time they got intimate, it was like a whole new


    experience for Hansen. It was as if they had just gotten to know each other that night. Nothing


    about this felt routine or boring. They could just get entangled in each other and spend the rest of


    their lives together.


    She was his wife, someone he could love rightfully. He was proud of this, and he wished time would


    just stop here.


    However, the happy moments spent together were always too short for them.


    Their love for each other lingered in the room until night fell.


    They were exhausted after climaxing together. They fell asleep in each other''s arms.


    In the second half of the night, Jenna woke up only to find that Hansen was gone.


    She sat up in a panic.


    "Hansen, Hansen," she cried out in the darkness.


    There was no response. The darkness and loneliness were her onlypany.


    She panicked. She searched for her phone but ended up with nothing.


    Slowly, Jenna was reminded of the previous night when Hansen lifted her up from the couch. Her


    phone must be somewhere by the couch too.


    She got up in a hurry and fumbled for her cell phone.


    Her phone had been turned off. Hansen must have switched it off so as not to disrupt her sleep.


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    She pressed hard on the power button and stared impatiently at the screen. She hastily dialed up


    his number.


    The call was connected.


    She heaved a sigh of relief.


    The phone was picked up a couple of secondster.


    "Jenna."


    "Hansen."


    They called out almost at the same time, and stopped at the same time too.


    Time stopped for a few seconds.


    "Jenna, go back to sleep." Hansen sounded a little tired, but he still coaxed her patiently.


    "Hansen, where are you? Why did you leave so soon?" Jenna asked in a hurry, with her eyes wide


    open.


    "Jenna, you should rest. I''m on my way to the airport right now. I have to get to Capital City as soon


    as I can. Take care of yourself for the next few days. Don''t make me worry about you. Can you do


    that?" Hansen said over the phone. He was sitting in the car, with the skyscrapers dashing past him.


    He was reluctant to leave too. He wished he could just go to sleep peacefully with his wife and


    children.


    No matter, he received John''s call earlier. They already had Ezrah in custody. However, Ezrah was


    keeping his mouth shut and didn''t give them any opportunity to get information out of him.


    Hansen had to rush over to interrogate Ezrah in person, especially if he wanted to avoid repeating


    what happened to Yaris back then.


    Time was of the essence.


    If Hansen was able to present something against Yadriel before the Richards Group was convicted,


    then Hansen might be able to turn the tables around, and at the same time, prove that Zoe was


    working together with Sergio.


    The election had started that week, and Yadriel had been in the unbroken lead. The people loved


    him, and everyone had nothing but positive remarks for him. There was nothing Hansen could do


    besides finding evidence against him, and this was the perfect opportunity.


    Once Yadriel found out that someone else had Ezrah under control, Yadriel would definitelye


    up with something for his counterattack.


    Hansen could never allow Yadriel to notice this.


    He had to act fast, urately and ruthlessly, for the sake of the Richards Group, as well as to serve


    justice.


    "Hansen, I''m worried about you," Jenna said with a trembling voice. Her hand was trembling too.


    Hansen''s smile faded away as he heard this. His expression was a little cold as he replied in a stern


    tone, "Jenna, go back to sleep right now. You don''t have to overthink things. You can''t have me


    worried about you at this time. Do you get what I mean?"


    "I... understand." Jenna replied with a heavy heart as she said, "Hansen, I''ll wait for your return.


    Please stay safe."


    "Don''t worry. I''lle back as soon as possible," Hansen replied with a gentle and soft tone.


    "Alright. I''ll be waiting for you," Jenna said nkly before hanging up the phone. She sat on the


    couch in a daze.


    Jenna couldn''t understand why she was so anxious at this time. She couldn''t put herself at ease no


    matter what.


    For the rest of the night, Jenna tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She finally drifted off


    when dawn broke.


    The sun was already hanging high in the sky when she got up again. Jenna freshened herself up as


    Larry sent breakfast over to her bedroom.


    After having her breakfast in a daze, Jenna headed to the office in the Ink Garden.


    "Maud, can you tell me what''s going on? My room is stuffy and hot. It''s located in the west wing,


    and everything in the room is antique. Are you trying to embarrass me and abuse me just because


    I''m going to be the second wife?" Liya''s high-pitched voice could be heard from inside the office.


    Jenna''s heart skipped a beat when she heard her voice. Jenna frowned.


    "Miss Liya, only the madams and the young madams can stay in the north wing of the Ink Garden.


    Now that Madam Vivian is in a critical condition, the rooms over there have been fully upied.


    Therefore, regardless of your identity, or the timing of your arrival, we can only arrange for you to


    stay in the guest rooms of the west wing. The rooms in the Ink Garden are all identical. The room


    you''re staying in was renovated and decorated during Old Master Richards'' time. That''s why the


    things inside are ancient. If you are dissatisfied with the room, then why don''t we arrange for you to


    go back to the Crystal Cove


    Garden where you used to live?" Maud replied. He was clearly not in the good mood either to have


    Liya making such a fuss early in the morning.


    Liya paused for a while before cing her luxury handbag on the table. She then sat on the chair,


    which Jenna normally sat in during work, and crossed her legs while smiling widely.


    "Maud, if that''s the case, then I won''t make things difficult for you. I''ll just continue to stay in the


    room then," Liya said as she touched her earlobe. She then smiled and said, "How about this then,


    Maud? I have to attend a party today. I was going to take care of Vivian today given her condition,


    but then the party was scheduled earlier and I had no choice but to attend. You know, the media is


    now aware of Vivian''s will, and everyone out there knows that I am the second wife of Mr. Richards,


    as well as the mistress of Richards Manor. But then, look at me. I don''t look like it at all. I will only


    embarrass the Richards Group looking like this. Why don''t you help me look for some jewelry and


    essories? I''ll return them to you once I return from the party," Liya said at a normal pace, as she


    took out her cosmetic mirror and looked at it. She was not satisfied with how in she looked


    without all the luxury essories.


    Upon hearing this, Maud finally understood her intentions. He forced a smile and said in a righteous


    manner, "Miss Liya, I''m sorry but we have our own rules in Richards Manor. Our essories and


    jewelry pieces are all registered by book. We have to register and keep records of all of them. None


    of them should be utilized, unless it was for unique events or with the approval from the head of the


    family. We can''t move those jewelry pieces from their original ces, let alone take them out. I wish


    I could help you with this, but I can''t. I''m sorry."


    Hearing this, Liya''s face fell as coldness masked her expression.
