Steffan sauntered towards her with a smile on his face.


    Hansen was surrounded by a huge crowd as he walked forward.


    For some reason, he smelled a familiar scent as it wafted through the air.


    He naturally slowed down.


    He wanted to turn around and track down this scent.


    Unfortunately, at that time, a few luxury cars drove over and stopped in front of him.


    “Mr. Richards, please.” Corrine, his secretary, opened the car door and politely gestured for him to enter the car.


    Alvin carefully led him to the car and said softly, “Mr. Richards, be careful. Step in front, just a little.”


    Hansen thought for a moment, buthe soon dismissed the idea and was forced to enter the car.


    The car was started.


    Hansen was seated in the back seat. He turned around and looked outside through the tinted windows.


    Although his vision waspromised, he could somewhat see a gorgeous woman standing not too far away, smiling at him.


    He was shocked. His heart skipped a beat and he straightened up in his seat.


    However, his illusion soon disappeared when the car started.


    Hansen heaved a sigh of relief,his breathing rxed due to this inexplicable illusion. He rxed and leaned back in his seat. It was only then did he realize that his palms were sweaty.


    This feeling was very uncanny.


    But he liked this feeling.


    It was just like how he liked the faint fragrance on Jenna.


    He was intoxicated by her smell.


    He believed he had made the right decision bying to Srirano.


    “Dory, you look absolutely lovely,” Steffan said as he approached Jenna. He admired her as if he was appreciating a work of art,with his eyes full of amazement and praise.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Thank you.” Jenna smiled and slightly blinked her bright eyes.


    “Dory, it’s still early. Why don’t we go for a walk?” He reached out his hand to her with a gentle smile. Jenna hesitated. She was unwilling to hold his hand. She did not want to lead him on before she could figure out her past.


    Steffan smiled and took a step forward towards her. He gently reached out for her hand.


    “Please don’t refuse me. You are wearing high heels. I don’t want you to trip over,” he reminded her softly. It was obvious that she was not used to wearing high heels. “I don’t have any other intentions.”


    His words made Jenna blush. She then reached out and held his hand as they ambled towards the car.


    It was winter in Srirano.White and pristine snow nketed everywhere. This scene was extraordinarily enchanting.


    Steffan and Jenna strolled along the river that overlooked the boundless expanse of snow. It was very peaceful.


    “Steffan, my passport is with you, right?” The two of them walked along the river. The weather was cold, and Jenna was draping a thick red overcoat that was fluttering in the wind.


    When Steffan heard her question, his heart sank a little.


    “You know, Dory, you don’t have a passport,” he replied in a low voice.


    “No way.” Jenna was very surprised. “If I don’t have a passport, then how could I have gone to Europe? How would I have been able to enter this country?”


    The wind blew so hard that the bare branches creaked, and snow would asionally fall to the ground.


    Steffan slightly leaned forward and exhaled a deep and heavy sigh.


    “Dory, are you nning to leave me?” He sounded a little deste.


    Jenna stopped and turned to face him.


    Steffan could almost imagine what Jenna was going to say to him.


    “You don’t have to say anything. I know what you’re thinking. I don’t want you to reject me. Whatever I did for you, I did it on my own will. I am willing to apany you and protect you for the rest of my life. But of course, only if you allow me to do so.” Steffan shrugged his shoulders.


    Jenna stood in the wind. Her hands were numb due to the cold breeze.


    Oh, God. What was she supposed to say?


    “Dory, I understand how I feel about you, and I know how you feel about me. But I just want to let you know that I will not give up. I know you want nothing more than to find out about your past, but I firmly believe that you weren’t happy with your past life, or else you would not have met me. I know I have the ability and patience to wait for you to ept me wholeheartedly.” He narrowed his eyes and said forcefully, “I am a stubborn person. There is nothing that can change my mind once my mind is set, unless I am really wrong.”


    Upon hearing this, Jenna felt a little sad.


    She understood what Steffan meant. She had a hunch that she had not lived a happy life in the past. Otherwise, she would not have ended up in the river, and pregnant at that.


    Nevertheless, she was very cautious.


    No matter how glorious the past was, she had to face it instead of avoiding it.


    When all of her questions were answered, only then would she put the past behind her.


    However, at that moment, she could not bring herself to ept Steffan.


    Steffan was not getting any younger. He should not waste his time on her.


    Steffan had seemed more persistent since that day at the cafe where he was met with her silence. This was what she was afraid of.


    “Dory, you promised me that once you figure out your past, you would give me a chance, right?” Steffan asked, a glint of hope in his eyes.


    Jenna opened her mouth and did not know what to say. After a while, she said with difficulty, “Which is why I was asking for my passport, Steffan. Once everything is settled down after the auto show next month, I’ll leave this ce in search of my past. Once everything is figured out, I’ll re-evaluate my feelings. You’re a good man. I have no reason not to give you a chance. I also have no reason to reject a man who has been treating me so well. But before that, please put aside your feelings for me.”


    “But Dory, your passport isn’t with me.” He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. Then, he continued, “I used to be engaged to Yesenia Moore, of the notable Moore family from Capital City. At that time, I never loved her. During that year, she fell seriously ill and the doctors had no way to treat her. In order to make her happy, I decided to take her to Europe. She passed away not long after we got back from Europe. I kept her passport. When I pulled you out of the water, I knew that I did not have much time if I wanted to save you. I realized that you looked somewhat like Yesenia. I did not know your background at that time and I did not have time to investigate. So, I used her passport for you. Moreover, I have some connections in Europe. At that time, you were seriously ill, so I managed to get through customs easily. That is why I said I don’t have your passport. Do you understand it now?”


    Jenna was stunned by his exnation.


    It turned out that she was a person without any identification.


    And Steffan had once been engaged to another woman.


    “Steffan, you told me that you pulled me out of the river near Sunshine Mountain. So, I’m most likely from A City.” Jenna raised her head and looked at the snow in the distance, seemingly trying to recall something.


    After a moment of silence, Steffan said, “Dory, I haven’t investigated your background because I don’t have the time and there is no need to do so. As you know, I rarely go home, but I feel that something tragic must have happened for a pregnant woman to end up in the river. If so, do you really think that it’s necessary for you to remember everything about the past? Whatever happened in the pastis already the past. It no longer exists. But here in Srirano, I can give you an identity. You can start your life all over again without any baggage. Don’t you think it’s good?”


    Steffan took a drag of his cigarette. The crow’s feet at the corner of his eyes condensed into a deep crease at that moment.


    Jenna nkly looked at him.


    What he meant was that she shouldpletely forget her past and restart her life.


    But was it possible?
