“Sigh, to have such a blessing.” Sara let out a long sighfull of sadness. “She is very unfortunate. Her marriage didn’t go well, and until now, she’s still a single mother. I’m worried sick about her.”
As she spoke, Sara felt depressed.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Sara. Jenna is a nice girl. She will definitely have a happy home.” Sergio quickly handed over a napkin as heforted her softly.
“s, her father and I are to me. I feel guilty about it.” Sara took the napkin from him to wipe her tears. Pain and guilt were written all over her face.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Aunt Sara, life is capricious. There are some things that are inevitable.So, there is no need to be sad. If everyone knows the consequences beforehand, then regrets will not exist. Nevertheless, obviously, that’s impossible. Let’s leave the past in the past. What matters is the future. People must always look forward to the future.” Sergioforted her.
Histhoughtful and kindwords reachedSara’s heart. Upon listening to that,she nodded repeatedly in agreement. “You’re right. Since we can’t change the past, we can only look forward to the future and live well.However, I just don’t know if Jenna would be fated for the happiness she deserves.”
Sara’s face was clouded with sadness and disappointment, as well as worry and yearning. Hansen’s figure shed through her mind, and her heart became heavier.
She hoped that her daughter could have a happy home, and marrying a good man was the only way for a woman to lead a happy life. However, her daughter already had a child. If things could not work out with Hansen, it would not be easy for her to find a good man.Therefore, Sara felt concerned.
She had only one daughter. If her daughter did not live well, what was the point of her being alive then? She would not even be able to be at peace.
Sergio looked at her furrowed brows. He felt moved. He assured her kindly.“Aunt Sara, don’t worry. Jenna will definitely find a man who loves her dearly. I’m sure there are many men who are willing to marry such an amazing and kind woman like her.”
Her eyebrows finally rxed. Once again, Sara sighed.“Sergio, you have no idea how diehard Jenna is. It’s as if she has never seen a man in her life and haspletely fallen head over heels for Hansen. Otherwise, how could she have ended up like this?”
The light in Sergio’s eyes grew dark.
“Aunt Sara, don’t worry. People say, sometimes we have to learn the hard way. If the truth is right in front of her eyes, I believe Jenna will be awakened soon. Besides, it is because she hasn’t met a better man. When she does, she will understand everything and be happy naturally. As for you, you just need to take good care of yourself. However, this town is a little too small. It is not suitable for people to live here in the long term. When we have time, I would like to take you and Jenna to Capital City. I wonder if I could have the honor?” He told her in a moving and thoughtful speech, while he studied Sara with his eyes.
After listening to his words,Sara was slightly tempted and it was demonstrated by thedelight on her face. However,she only chuckled but did not agree to it.
“Sergio, you shouldn’t have brought any gifts. When youe next time, just bring yourself. Otherwise, I dare not let youe by anymore,” Sarasaid in embarrassment,looking at the expensive gifts on the table.
Sergio was a son of a high-ranking military and political official. He was also handsome, gentle, and considerate. A man like him was very rare. In the future, if…
Sara was lost in her thoughts. At the moment, Sergio seemed to be very interested in her daughter. She could tell by the look in his eyes when he saw Jenna a few moments ago.
After all, her daughter had given birth. That would be hard for any man to ept.
“Aunt Sara, you’re a senior and you’re not feeling well. I would havee earlier if I had known something had happened to your family. I feel really ashamed foring thiste. I hope you don’t think of me as a heartless person,” Sergio exined hurriedly, looking very serious.
“How could I? Thank you, Sergio. You are so considerate.” Sara thought of the time when Yadriel came to propose a marriage, but was turned down by Javon. She felt a pang of guilt. Her face then assumed an unnatural expression. She asked, “Since you’re here, why don’t you stay for dinner?”
After that, she called out, “Jenna, Jenna.”
Jenna heard Sara calling her. She walked out with Jerry in her arms.
“Mom, what’s the matter?”
“Well, this is the first time Sergio came to our house, but this small courtyard of ours is not decent. You can take Sergio to a restaurant and order a few dishes that suit his taste. Be sure to y a good host to Sergio.” Sara instructed, beaming.
“Mom, Jerry….” Jenna looked reluctant to go out for dinner with Sergio asJerry hadn’t even had dinner yet. Besides, taking Sergio out for dinner seemed…
“Jerry has us. Can’t a few adults take care of a child?” Sara knew what she was thinking. A look of displeasure immediately appeared on Sara’s face as she rebuked her daughter.
“Aunt Sara,why don’t I treat you and your family to dinner?” Sergio did not want to make things too hard for Jenna, so he hastily suggested.
“You came to our house to pay us a visit, how could we let you treat us? Besides, I have difficulty getting about. Bailey, too, is getting on in years, and Jerry is still too young. It’s inconvenient for us to go. Only Jenna can go with you.” Of course, Sara would not agree. She turned down the idea immediately.Turning to Jenna once more, the look of displeasure on Sara’s face grew even more obvious.
In that case, it would be insensitive of Jenna if she didn’t agree. She was also worried that Sara would be angry. She had no choice but to agree.
Bailey came forward and wanted to take Jerry from Jenna’s arms. Jerry had been assessing Sergio with his big eyes.The hostility in his eyes was in and obvious. When he saw Baileying over to take him, he turned his head and buried it in Jenna’s shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her neck tightly, not willing to let go.
It seemed like the little guy not only was shy with strangers, but also did not like the idea of Jenna going out to eat with Sergio. Therefore, he hugged Jenna tightly as an attempt to stop Jenna from going.
“Jerry, be a good boy. I will be right back after having a meal with Mr. Xanthe,” said Jenna to Jerry gently while patting his back.
Nheless, Jerry was still unwilling. Sara then remembered how Hansen made Jerry willingly take his medicine that day, and instructed Bailey hastily.“Bailey, get a car toy for him.”
Bailey understood. She took out a very beautiful electric toy car from the room and inserted batteries into it. The car zoomed all over the room,manding Jerry’s attention at once. As a result, Aunt Lee was able to seed in taking Jerry from Jenna’s arms.
“Mr. Xanthe, let’s go,” called Jenna after deliberating how to address him.
Sergio smiled and looked at her. “Thank you, Jenna. Don’t you want to dress up?”
From his experience, every woman would dress up when they go out, especially when going out with a man. In Capital City, back when he asked women out for a meal, he had to wait for one or two hours.
“Dress up?” Jenna was taken aback, but soon understood what he meant. She shook her head with a smile. “No, I don’t have that habit.”
Sergio took a look at her, astonished, as she stood before him.Her hair was spread loosely across her shoulders, framing her beautiful face.A pair of dark, full eyebrowsplimented her fair and smootplexion.Poised and dignified, she shone gracefully and brightly merely by standing in the room.
She was already so attractive without any makeup.If she dressed up, she would make more heads turn.
That year, at Richards Group’s press conference, she wore an elegant gown. Her wless appearance, paired with her exquisite temperament made her shine brightly on the silver screen.
Just like her, the car she designed attracted everyone’s attention. At that time, he watched her on the TV news. The news of her divorce from Hansen had note out yet. Hence, Sergio had been downcast. He was not willing to ept that he could never be with her, as there were not many women who could catch his eye. He had always trusted his own eyes to guide him.
When Jenna appeared on the screen, he had admired her from the bottom of his heart.
He actually didn’t mind her past. To him, an amazing woman was a gift from God. There were too few women who could captivate him. Plus, she was single at the moment, so there were no restrictions.
The two of them headed outside.
Sergio started walking with a spring in his step, as if he was given a new boost in momentum. He was exuberant.
Meanwhile, Jenna walked ahead of him, her steps light and calm. At first, he walked behind her. Then, he took a step forward and walked alongside her.
She smelled faintly of flowers and fruits. The soft breeze blewher scent gently into his nose. Gradually, he felt intoxicated.
“Jenna, are you nning on living here in this small town with Jerry?” He turned his head slightly and eventually asked her.
He was a tall and big man, which was rather intimidating whenhe walked alongside her. Hence, Jenna felt ufortable.
Instead of answering the question, she responded with another question, “Are you aware of my situation?”
“Of course I am. I have admired you for a long time, so it is natural for me to pay attention to you. Unlike me, I can’t even make you recall who I am.” Heughed at himself.
Jenna was taken aback, and sheughed abashedly.
“I’m sorry. I don’t pay much attention to others.” She exined softly.
It wasn’t her fault. In those years, Hansen was the apple of her eye. She didn’t notice other men at all.
“It’s alright. I can only me myself for not being outstanding enough.” Sergio chuckled.
This time, Jenna couldn’t bring herself tough.
In the best restaurant of Wullen Town, soft music was ying. Theromantic and enchanting melodbined with the unique scent of the river in Jenova City exuded quite a charm.
Jenna didn’t want to enter a private dining room with him. Being alone with him in a small, narrow space didn’t seem like the best idea.Thus, she found a seat near the window in the hall and sat down.
It was drizzling outside. The dim street lights were already turned on, coupled with the wallmps in the restaurant, which were a pale yellow. It was inexplicably dreamy.
Jenna suddenly felt a pang of lingering sorrow in her heart.
Everything felt so surreal, like a dream.
It was not her intention toe to this town.
Then, Hansen hade into the picture, followed by the son of a high-ranking military and political official of Capital City, and he even wanted to treat her to a meal. If she wasn’t experiencing it personally, she really couldn’t believe that any of this was true.
“Jenna, can we be friends?” Observing the sorrow in her gaze, Sergio pitied her although he was not sure why. She was such an outstanding woman yet she lived such a lonely life. Was it a blessing or a misfortune?
No matter what, it was heartbreaking to see a woman get into such a difficult situation, what more an amazing woman like Jenna.
