Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 283

"Jen, why didn't you tell me that you're pregnant?" Rayan walked over with a mug of hot milk and handed it to Jenna in the living room.

"Thank you." Jenna took the hot milk from Rayan's hand and squeezed it with her fingers. She squeezed a little too hard, and her veins started showing up below her nails. She raised the mug and pressed her forehead against the wall of the mug. Slowly shaking her head, she said, "Rayan, I don't want anyone to know about this."

"Why? Not even me?" Rayan asked gently.

"Rayan, Hansen has to marry Aria in order to save the Richards Group. If he knew that I was pregnant with his child, he would not marry her. So, I didn't want to tell anyone. I really didn't expect that I would faint that day and that everything would be exposed. I had no choice but to make you the scapegoat. I'm sorry." Jenna's face was pressed strongly against the warm milk mug. Her nose was sore, and her tears flowed smoothly down the mug.

"Oh, silly." Rayan sighed deeply, feeling a little annoyed in his heart, yet he couldn't do anything about it. Seeing her weak and fragile appearance, he couldn't bear to blame her. He only said softly, "Drink the milk first."

Jenna held the mug with one hand, and twisted her shirt with another. She looked up at Rayan with a pitiful face. "Rayan, you won't blame me, right?"

A trace of distress flashed in Rayan's eyes. He walked over and sat down beside her. Then, he took the milk and put it next to her mouth, whispering, "Good girl, drink the milk first."

Jenna opened her mouth obediently, and the warm liquid trickled down her throat into her stomach. She suddenly felt warm and comfy, and her trembling body started to settle down.

"Jen, how can you be so silly?" Rayan sighed heavily as he stroked her hair with his hand. "Did you really think that once you leave the Richards Group, everything will go back to being peaceful? You really think that everything is related to you?"

"Rayan, what do you mean?" Jenna looked up at him in bewilderment.

"Alas!" Rayan shook his head, "You will see very soon. Even if you had never returned from the United States, or had never been with Hansen, everything would've still happened as it should've. Greed is a human nature. It won't change just because of anyone's existence or absence. Everything will still happen as it's supposed to happen. But it's okay, after this, you will finally understand a lot of things that you didn't."

Jenna didn't understand what he said, and looked at Rayan with confusion.

"Jen, no matter what, you made the right choice. You wouldn't be able to beat them on your own. Hansen is too famous. It won't be good for you to stay by his side," Rayan explained softly to answer Jenna's doubts, "Since you have decided to leave, this may be a good thing for everyone. But I want to ask you, have you made any plans for the future? In the future, are you going to raise your child alone? Can you withstand the peculiar looks and judgements of others?"

Rayan's series of questions were harsh but true. Jenna could no longer think about other things. She felt miserable. However, she held back her tears and smiled firmly. "Rayan, I believe I can raise my child well. I will continue to design cars, and take good care of my child and mother with my own abilities."

Rayan smiled helplessly again.

"But have you ever thought about your child? Your child will be fatherless from birth. How will he grow up without a father? It is unfair to him," Rayan said.

"I know..." Jenna lowered her head. Her tears dripped down like beads from a broken string as she wept softly.

Rayan's expression became more and more solemn, and he went silent.

"Tomorrow, I will take you to another hospital," he said earnestly after a long time.

"No, I won't get rid of the child. He is innocent. I can't bear it," Jenna replied in fear.

Rayan was stunned for a while, then he took a piece of tissue to wipe away her tears. He whispered softly, "You're thinking too much. Your body is too weak, I will take you to the hospital for fetus protection."

"No, I won't go, I'll be fine." Jenna shook her head flatly after understanding his intentions. "I still have to go to the Richards Group's New Year banquet. Sabrina and I had put in a lot of effort to plan it, so I must go. After these three days, I will cut ties with them completely, we'll talk about it then."

Jenna never thought of going for fetus protection. Although she was weak, she believed that as long as her appetite got better, she would get better.

Women are stronger when they're pregnant.

She wanted to say that she was worried about Grandma Vivian, knowing that the three days of the Richards Group's New Year's Banquet might be chaotic, but she didn't say it.

Rayan felt that he could not convince her. After a while, he grabbed her hand and said very patiently and seriously, "Jenna, let me protect you for the rest of your life. I am willing to do everything for you."

His words were sincere and eloquent. He held Jenna's hands tightly, with a face full of tender expressions.

Jenna raised her head in surprise and looked at him incredulously. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Rayan's eyes were bright and gentle, but there was a firm light in them, with an encouraging smile.

"Be my wife, and let me accompany you. That way, you won't be a single mother. I believe that I can protect you throughout your life." Rayan continued steadily.

Be his wife? Jenna finally understood what he was trying to say, and was completely startled by his words.

What kind of a person was Rayan? He was one of the top prince charmings of the world, the dream lover of many girls. If it was before she had divorced, perhaps she was still worthy of being his wife. But now? What was she? How could she be worthy of being his wife? It's impossible.

No, he was probably only trying to console her as he thought that she was pitiful and sympathized with her. With that in mind, she forced a smile and said gratefully, "Rayan, I know that you're kind, but I don't need sympathy. I will get out of this as soon as possible and live well on my own. I only have one wish. Can we be good friends forever?"

Jenna looked at him with eyes that radiated hope after she finished speaking. She would feel satisfied, and lucky enough if they were able to be friends forever.

"No, I'm serious. I've made up my mind to marry you." Rayan looked at Jenna's expression and could tell that she didn't believe him. He said with more persistence, "Jenna, let me protect you for the rest of your life."

"No, Rayan, this is not okay, absolutely not. It is unfair to you." Jenna was finally sure about what she wanted. She quickly shook her head, and said hoarsely, "Rayan, thank you. I was very lucky to be able to have known you in this life. I am already grateful for all your help, but I can't burden you anymore."

Seeing Jenna shake her head, pain flashed in Rayan's eyes. He took Jenna's hand and said seriously, "Jen, I have been attracted to you ever since I've met you in Los Angeles. Not only did your car designs impress me, but so did your personality. In my whole life I've travelled far and wide. I've seen all kinds of women before. You are the strongest and most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and the only one that makes me want to protect you for the rest of my life. Trust me, I am serious."

Jenna couldn't imagine it.

She was now pregnant and had a horrible reputation, yet he didn't mind and was willing to marry her. Even an ordinary man couldn't accept this, yet a perfect man like him didn't mind at all. Was that even possible?

"Rayan, don't say such things. I am no longer worthy of being with you. I don't need anymore embarrassment." Jenna lowered her head after looking at him carefully, and then raised her head and said with shame, "Rayan, I am a divorced woman. I'm pregnant with someone else's child, and there are so many horrible rumors and gossip about me. Even by being with you like this, I feel like I'm tarnishing your reputation. If this is the case, I think that it's better that we don't bring that up again. Otherwise, I wouldn't even dare to stay here with you any longer."

Rayan's eyes stared at her for a while. Then suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't say that, Jen. Not everyone is as glamorous as they appear to be. Everyone has their weaknesses. I may look glamorous now, but I have many weaknesses too, and a side of me that I wouldn't want anyone to see, but everyone will want to pursue whatever they think is beautiful in their heart. In my eyes, you are the best woman in the world. Not only are you beautiful and kind, you are also strong, brave, and wise. To me, being able to marry you will be the biggest blessing of my life. If I don't get to marry you, then I accept my fate, but I'm still willing to fight for it. Please believe that I'm sincere. Your past is nothing to me, it's not your fault. I just want your love in the

future. May I have this blessing?" Rayan took her hand, that was so soft that it felt boneless, and placed it on his chest, with a kind smile in his eyes.

Jenna was dumbfounded.

His gaze was so passionate, and the expression on his face was so sincere. He was serious about it.

It never occurred to her that she would still be favored by him at this time.

A man who was willing to accept her regardless of her past, and even after learning that she was pregnant, it really was something that she could only dream of. She was so touched that she couldn't keep calm.

"Rayan, can you give me some time to think about it?" Jenna said after a long time, as she really didn't know how to reject him without hurting him.

"Alright, I'll give you time. I can afford to wait, and I have enough patience to wait for your love." Rayan smiled with a warm expression.

Jenna sat there in a daze. Hansen’s furious face kept flashing in front of her eyes. The disappointment, despair, sadness, and pain in his eyes kept flickering in front of her, and her numb heart started to feel painful again.

Jenna didn't know that Rayan was serious. Before he made this decision, he had already called his mother in the United States to let her know. Of course, she only knew this afterwards.

That night, Jenna was entangled in various nightmares again. When she woke up in the middle of the night, her whole body was sweaty. As she tried to fall back asleep, she could hear the faint cries of her baby in her ears, and it hurt her heart.

She finally managed to fall asleep when it was close to dawn.
