"Jenna." Hansen got out of the car quickly and rushed to her side. He was rooted to the spot as he saw them locked in an embrace. Was this Jenna?
How could she hug a guy so openly and passionately at the entrance of Richards Manor?
Was this the woman he wanted to protect despite the pressure he was facing? The woman he wanted to marry so much?
Just a few days ago, they were still deep in love.
He had warned her countless times not to meet other men, especially Rayan.
Rayan was caressing her head. He stared at the woman in his arms and said softly, "Jen, let's have dinner together."
"All right," Jenna muttered.
Seeing that she was very weak and on the verge of fainting, Rayan decided to carry her.
They were locked in a passionate embrace and paid no heed to Hansen. It was as though he did not exist.
"Hold on." Seeing that they were about to leave, Hansen finally regained his senses and bellowed, "Let go of her. She is my woman."
Upon finishing the sentence, he drew closer and attempted to snatch Jenna away.
Rayan glanced at him as if he had just noticed Hansen's presence. He smiled contemptuously and stopped Hansen. "Hansen, please be gentle. Jen is weak. She cannot withstand your violence."
Hansen's eye turned bloodshot and he shouted at Jenna, "Jenna, why are you with Rayan again? Who allowed it?" To his dismay, Jenna seemed indifferent and did not respond. He panicked and said anxiously, "Jenna, come here, let's go home."
Jenna slowly lifted her head and glanced at Hansen. She assumed an air of indifference and forced a smile as she said, "Hansen, you are back. Today I want to go out for dinner with Rayan and I won't come back tonight. You can go back by yourself."
"What? You won't come back tonight?" Hansen couldn't believe his ears. He thought he must be hallucinating. He pinched himself with all his might and felt a stinging sensation. His expression darkened as he thought to himself, was Jenna crazy?
He steadied himself and said gently, "Jenna, stop making a fuss and come home with me.
Are you furious because I neglected you for the past few days? Come with me. I have bought you presents from Capital City."
His tone was really gentle and he did not blow a fuse. A smile was even plastered on his face.
He tamped down his irritation and begged her to go home with him despite seeing her with another guy. He must really be in love with her.
In the past, she would have been over the moon to see him trying to please her. However, things had changed.
Jenna's heart was aching so much that she could barely breathe but she forced herself to reply with an air of nonchalance, "There's no need. You can give it to Aria. After all, she's your wife. I don't deserve your gift."
"Jenna, what are you talking about? I'm going to marry you. I promised you. Can't you give me some time? Come and go home with me." Hansen's face fell but he did not give up.
"No." Jenna shook her head and said coldly, "Hansen, I told you that day that I have already made a decision. You are going to marry Aria immediately and I also decided to be with Rayan. You can go back. Leave me alone. It would never work out between us. Besides, Rayan has always been very good to
me. He would treat me well. Don't worry."
Upon finishing the sentence, she wrapped her arms around Rayan's neck and beamed as she asked, "Rayan, is that right?"
"Of course, don't worry. You have always been the woman I love deeply and I will definitely treat you well," Rayan smiled and said affectionately.
Jenna smiled sweetly and nestled her head on his chest.
Rayan was so sincere and he was beaming brightly. It never crossed Jenna's mind that Rayan was just speaking his mind; he wasn't putting on an act.
"Rayan, let's go, I'm very hungry," she urged.
"All right." Rayan grinned. "Jen, let's have some steak. You must eat more. You are so skinny."
Rayan was about to get into the car with Jenna.
"Wait." Hansen couldn't stand it anymore and roared, "Rayan, let go of Jenna. You are not allowed to take her away."
He was simmering with anger. His eyes were red and he almost lost his mind.
Rayan faced him calmly, holding Jenna in his arms. There was a triumphant look on his face.
"Jenna, come over here and go home with me. I can pretend this has never happened. I will love you as I did before. However, if you dare to leave today, I will never forgive you," Hansen threatened her. It was his last straw.
Jenna hugged Rayan tightly. She clutched his neck so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Out of nowhere, lights flashed, which startled them. A group of reporters approached them as they snapped photos of the scene. Some reporters even wanted to interview them.
Hansen's expression darkened. He clenched his fists and he looked like he wanted to hit someone.
However, at this moment, Jenna regained her composure and said calmly "Hansen, go in quickly, the reporters are here. Rayan and I are leaving. If you have anything, just give us a call." She flashed Rayan a smile and urged, "Rayan, let's go, I'm really hungry. I must eat to my heart's content today."
"All right." Rayan glanced at Hansen who was dumbfounded before getting into the car with Jenna. There was a roar and a cloud of smoke as the car pulled away from Richards Manor.
The reporters immediately surrounded Hansen.
"Go away." Hansen bellowed. Rage was pulsing through his veins.
Fear gripped the reporters' hearts and they only dared to take photos of him. None of them dared to utter a word, let alone interview him. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Hansen was indeed scary. His nostrils flared as his cheeks flamed with anger. The veins in his neck were standing out in livid ridges. It was rare to see him in this manner. The reporters took as many photos as they could.
Soon, the security guards arrived at the scene. Their blood ran cold upon seeing what had happened. They immediately called for reinforcement as they helped Hansen to get away from the reporters. Hansen was flushing with rage as he walked towards Richards Manor.
Jenna slumped on the seat in the back row and tears trickled down her cheeks. Unable to suppress her sorrow anymore, she burst into tears.
Rayan drove silently, heading towards his villa.
If he didn't understand her true intentions a moment ago, he did at this instant.
She was using him to get rid of Hansen and make him give up.
He gazed intently ahead without showing his emotions.
The car came to a halt in front of his villa. He got out of the car, picked her up and walked into the villa.
"It's okay, Rayan, I can walk by myself," Jenna said weakly as she struggled to get down. There were no reporters here. They could stop acting.
However, Ryan held her tightly and didn't let her go.
He remained silent as he strode into the villa.
He was really worried that she would faint if he put her down.
Jenna had been asleep for a few hours. The room she was in was beautifully designed. There were long shadows that her eyelashes cast on her cheeks.
There was a soft knock on the door.
Jenna sat up abruptly and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Please come in."
Rayan came in with a cup of steaming coffee, a charming smile on his face.
"Jen, come and have a cup of hot coffee. I have already prepared steak and made sandwiches. Come and have a taste," he said gently and handed the coffee to her.
"Thank you, Rayan." Jenna took a sip of the coffee he handed to her. The coffee had no sugar or milk. The taste was really bitter.
"It's bitter, isn't it?" It seemed that Rayan was also questioning himself as he sighed.
Jenna held the cup in her hands and lowered her head. The cup was warm but she still felt cold.
After only a few sips, she stood up and placed it on the table.
"Let's go, let's eat something first," Rayan said gently.
Jenna nodded and walked out with him.
He took out the sandwiches from the oven and brought fried steak and warm milk over.
They sat down and ate in silence. Neither of them broke the silence.
"Jen, you can have a rest in the living room," Rayan suggested after breakfast.
Jenna nodded and agreed.
"Jen, can you tell me the reason you're doing this?" Rayan made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Jenna. He looked into her puffy eyes which were red and swollen, asking softly.
Jenna lowered her head to take a sip of the tea.
"Rayan, thank you so much," she voiced apologetically, feeling ashamed for using him the night before. However, she had no choice. Only Rayan could trigger Hansen's anger.
"It's nothing." Rayan smiled gently. "I've said it before, as long as you need me, I will help you."
Jenna smiled at him gratefully.
