Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 287

Jenna and Rayan went straight to the Ink Garden.

Right at the entrance of the Ink Garden was a 200- year- old banyan tree. It had long branches and was blooming with leaves, looking solemn in the cold winter.

The houses in the Ink Garden were quaint but lovely. The sky was already bright, yet the lights were still on. Standing under the banyan tree, they could see the lights in the office from across the garden.

Jenna walked towards the office.

"Rayan, you may go to the reception room first. It has already been set up, and the guest rooms have been prepared." As they approached the office, she took him to a villa next to the Ink Garden, where Old Master Richard used to welcome his guests while he was still alive. That place had always been cleaned regularly, and carried the charm of the olden days. However, due to the changes in trends, Trevor had already renovated it, making the interior look modern and chic.

Jenna led Rayan into a high class suite and handed him the key. After showing him around the room, she left at ease.

"Jenna, you are finally here." Sabrina was very excited when she saw her. She was so busy that her face was flushed, and she had a refreshing smile on her face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sabrina." Jenna smiled, walked to her desk and sat down.

Sabrina sat down at the desk right in front of her, placed her elbows on the desk, and looked at her with a tilted head and a curious gaze.

"What are you looking at?" Jenna looked up at her with a confused face.

"Jenna, I heard that you are pregnant, is that true?" she asked suddenly in a low voice.

What? Jenna was startled, and her hand that was pulling onto the drawers paused for a second. She glanced around to make sure no one else was there, and then asked her seriously, "Sabrina, who told you this?"

"Just tell me whether it’s true or not!" Sabrina was a little angry. "This is such an important thing and you didn't bother telling me? You're obviously treating me like an outsider."

Jenna died a little inside. Only Hansen knew that she was pregnant, could he be the one who told her? Would a man like him gossip like that?

"Tell me first, how did you know?" Jenna's smile faded.

"I overheard it," Sabrina confessed honestly as she saw Jenna become serious and anxious.

"Overheard it from who?" Jenna asked.

"I heard it from that awful girl, Minnie Murphy," Sabrina said disdainfully.

How did Minnie know? Jenna was overwhelmed. Did Hansen tell them about this?

"That day, after I was done with my work, I walked out of the office and was about to turn into a corner when I heard two soft voices coming from the other side. I listened carefully and realized that it was Minnie Murphy and Julian Adams. They spoke very softly, talking about some ocean stuff. At first, I thought they were discussing traveling and were about to leave, but suddenly. I heard Minnie say, ‘That lady is pregnant too, we must be quick’, and I was stunned. Just as I was wondering whom they were talking about, I heard Julian ask, ‘Are you talking about our young madam?’. Minnie then nodded her head and said 'Yes!'. I was a little worried, and wanted to give you a call, but then I thought, it wasn't normal for you to hide this from me when we' re so close. So I thought of asking you when I met you today," Sabrina blabbered everything she had heard in one shot.

Upon hearing that, Jenna's palms started to sweat, and she sat there in a daze.

"Jenna, are you okay? Tell me, are you really pregnant? Is it Hansen's child?" Sabrina was excited, but also a little worried as she saw Jenna's expression.

Jenna’s brain started to spin as she tried to comprehend the situation, and in a flash, she found a reasonable explanation for all that.

Julian must’ve been bribed by Aria already, and Minnie getting close to Julian must've all been part of Aria's scheme.

The 'ocean stuff' they were talking about must have been the Star of the Ocean. The Star of the Ocean may not have been known by others, but Jenna knew clearly what it was, and her cold glare started to converge like the tip of a knife.

She finally understood why Sabrina claimed that a thief had snuck into Grandma Vivian's room. That thief must've been coming for the Star of the Ocean. But who was it? Who wanted this piece of treasure so badly?

She was suspicious of Aria the most, or else Minnie would not have known about all this. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The Star of the Ocean was the family heirloom of the Richards family. Jenna finally understood the reason Grandma Vivian had given her the Star of the Ocean. One the surface, it looked like it was a love triangle between Hansen, Aria, and her, but in reality, it was the fight between two powerful forces. Grandma Vivian had foreseen everything that was going to happen, and didn't want the family heirloom to end up in a scheming person's hand. That was why she had passed it down to Jenna a long time ago.

Did she want Jenna to protect it, or did she want to give Jenna a chance in surviving this feud?

Jenna thought of the child in her womb. It was Hansen's child, a descendant of the Richards family. Since Grandma Vivian had given it to her, even if she were to leave Richards Manor in the future, the treasure would still be left for her child, who was a descendant of the Richards family. However, Grandma Vivian probably didn't know that she was already pregnant, and must’ve given it to her with a reluctant heart. Or, she could' ve had given it to her because she felt guilty, since Norton was the one who framed her father, and she wanted to make this a compensation.

But what Jenna was sure about was that

Grandma Vivian truly gave her the chance to survive this feud. She was already pregnant with a descendant of the Richards family, and she would never let anyone know that she had the Star of the Ocean. Grandma's move was actually unnecessary.

"Sabrina, let me ask you, how many people know about my pregnancy?" She pulled Sabrina aside and asked softly.

"Probably not many, I only knew because I overheard it." Sabrina shook her head.

"What about Grandma and Madam Richards? Do they know about it?" Jenna muttered to herself.

“I don’t think so, everyone in the manor is currently talking about the New Year Banquet and Hansen's and Aria's upcoming wedding. I don't think I've heard anyone mention your pregnancy." Sabrina shook her head again as she said confidently. After saying this, she quickly asked again," Jenna, so you really are pregnant, aren't you?"

Jenna was finally able to calm down and stop worrying. She held onto Sabrina's hands and said seriously, "Sabrina, it's true that I'm pregnant, but please do not tell anyone, including Norton. Can you do that?"

"So, it's true!" Sabrina's eyes lit up in an instant. She shook Jenna’ s hands energetically and said," Jenna, you're finally pregnant with Hansen's child! Now Hansen won’t be able to marry that annoying lady Aria anymore."

Her face was full of elation, as she thought that as long as Jenna was pregnant with Hansen's child, all the ongoing conspiracies and schemes would come to an end. Jenna let out a deep sigh. Sabrina was too naive after all.

Jenna shook her head with a light smile, and said earnestly, "Sabrina, the child in my belly is nothing, and it will not change anything. I cannot let anyone know about this, alright?"

"Doesn't Hansen know about it yet? I'll go tell him, and tell him not to marry Aria. I know that Hansen is capable of doing so," Sabrina said as she ran out indignantly.

"Sabrina, come back." Jenna grabbed onto her, not knowing whether she should laugh or cry. She quickly said seriously again, "Sabrina, Hansen knows about this, you don’t have to tell him again. Besides, this child isn’t his, it’s none of his business," Jenna said with much difficulty.

What? It isn't Hansen's child?" Sabrina was dumbfounded. Her mouth was wide open as she was left in a daze.

Jenna was in a wretched state, and said with a broken heart, "Sabrina, there are some things that you may not understand, and it's better off that you do not understand them as well. It’s difficult for me to explain everything to you. Just pretend that you never heard anything today, okay?”

She sighed as she finished speaking, and shook Sabrina's hand, begging.

"Then, tell me, who does the child in your womb belong to?" Sabrina asked in awe, after being stirred from her daze by Jenna' s shaking. She didn’t believe it at all, and said, "That's impossible.

This must be Hansen's child. Aria must have done something to make Hansen abandon you. That woman is evil."

Jenna's heart twisted into knots.

"Sabrina, I've told you. Don't interfere with these matters anymore. They are my personal matters. So, just pretend that nothing ever happened," Jenna said.

Her expression was solemn, with not a single trace of joy. She said in a stern tone, "Sabrina, we all have our own private matters. I'm human, and I have a life too. Hansen never told anyone that I was pregnant even though he knew, this is enough to show that no one can know about this. If you're willing to treat me as your friend, please don't tell anyone about this."

After a long time, Sabrina finally returned to her senses, and nodded unwillingly as she said, "Alright, your matters are too complicated for me, I won't meddle with them anymore.”

"That’s right." Jenna let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Silly girl, no one will love someone for no reason, and no one will hate someone for no reason as well. There are certain things that we can' t take too seriously."

But Jenna, what do you plan to do about this?" Sabrina was worried about Jenna’s situation. Hansen was about to marry Aria soon, so she could no longer stay in Richards Manor. Even if Hansen was given the choice, Aria would definitely not allow it. It would’ve been less complicated if she wasn't pregnant, but now that she was, it would be even less appropriate for her to stay in the Richards Manor, especially if it was another man’s child.

"Don't worry, I've got everything planned," Jenna said with a smile. She was touched by Sabrina’ s concern, and patted her hand lightly.

"Okay then." Sabrina lowered her head silently.

At that moment, the workers started to approach her one after another, with records

and invoices in their hands. Vivian had given Jenna the authority of managing the household, so many records and invoices had to be signed by Jenna to take effect. In these past few days, the workers could only print lOUs instead.

Jenna quickly immersed herself in her work. After all, she didn't have much time to work here anymore. Therefore, she had to utilise every second to do her job well.

It wasn't until Sophia, who worked at the Ink Garden, walking over with a reimbursement application, that Jenna paused for a while. The name 'Hansen Richards’ was written on it, and a receipt of around ten thousand dollars was attached to it. Jenna was bemused. If Hansen were to claim money, why would he claim such a small amount? Besides, why would he need to claim money from the Ink Garden?
