Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 288

The moment she appeared to be confused, Sophia explained, "That night, Aunt Ella from the Green Jade Garden dropped by all of a sudden to claim some money. It was already very late then, but it was an order that the Ink Garden's kitchen received from Young Master Richards, requesting for all the most delicious food to be sent to the hospital immediately. We didn't dare delay his order, so the entire kitchen started getting busy. We made many scrumptious dishes and quickly followed Aunt Ella to send them to the hospital. At first, Young Master Richards said that we were to make dishes like this every day, but the next day he called and said we didn't have to do it anymore. You'll have to ask Young Master Richards for more details. I don't know how to explain anymore." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Sophia was worried that Jenna wouldn't understand and would reject signing the application. Technically speaking, that meal was prepared at a moment's notice, and the money was used very haphazardly, so Sophia tried her best to give an explanation for it.

With a pen in her hand, Jenna's hand began to tremble as her heart started to ache.

It turned out that the food he had ordered to be sent to her ward that night was worth tens of thousands of dollars, and she only took a few sips of the soup.

It seems that this young master will never know how it feels to be poor. Only a rich man would be able to spend like this. If he had known that she was pregnant with his child, she would probably be pampered like a princess.

She lowered her head and signed the document quietly, feeling a little down.

After the housekeeper left, Meroy walked in.

"Meroy." Jenna lifted her head up to look at Meroy, who had a kind face. She said with a bright smile on her face, "Is Grandma doing alright these days?"

She placed down the things she was holding as she stood up, looking very worried.

"She's doing well." Meroy looked at Jenna and sighed, then said with red eyes, "Young Madam, that woman got away with it in the end. It must be tough for you."

Jenna was a little startled, and she completely understood what Meroy was talking about. She smiled and said, "Meroy, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, let's not talk about these negative things anymore. This is our fate. We can't force anything."

"I guess that's true. She does have a wealthy family background, and her father is about to become the mayor of the city too. We still respect you a lot. We sincerely hope that you can stay here and manage the household affairs, so that our lives could be easier,” Aunt Ella said with a sigh and a sad face.

"Aunt Ella, everyone has their own life. We have to move on," Jenna said in a low voice as her head hung low.

"By the way, young madam, I realized that Julian has changed these days. She has become very mysterious, and we no longer have control over her. I've heard that she was going to be promoted as the Green Jade Garden butler soon," Aunt Ella said as if she suddenly remembered something.

Promoted to butler? Jenna frowned and asked, "Who's idea was it to promote her to butler? How come I wasn't informed of it?” Jenna thought to herself.

"I heard it from someone else too. They' re saying that these are orders from Marissa, so it's normal that you didn't know." Meroy answered sadly, "Grandma doesn’t really care about these matters now. She wouldn’t be able to interfere with your matters too, with your current situation. Nowadays, Richards Manor is crawling with Aria's friends and minions. Her friend Minnie is being very arrogant about it, as she's supposed to represent Aria in many circumstances. Even though Aria is staying in

the hospital, she still has a lot of power in the manor. Even our madam is pampering her, and doing whatever she says."

Jenna quickly understood what she was trying to say. It was going to be very difficult for her to stay in Richards Manor with her current situation.

She couldn't help but to smile and said, "It doesn't matter, she is the young madam of the Richards family, so of course everyone has to listen to her."

"Hey, you're probably the only one who could think this way." Looking at Jenna's calm expression, she could only smile helplessly.

In the afternoon, guests from faraway began to arrive one after another. Sabrina and Jenna were divided into two groups to welcome guests and deal with various matters.

They remained busy for the whole day and were finally settled with their jobs at night. Richards Manor hadn’t celebrated with so much cheer and happiness in the past few years. Under the bright lights and pretty decorations, the charm of the old garden became more apparent.

By the time Jenna walked out of the Ink

Garden office, it was already dark outside.

Along the hallway were pots of orchid plants that looked beautiful and had a fragrant scent. She stood at the corner and reached out to touch a lilac orchid. She felt glum, and her dark eyes stared into the darkness far away. She knew that she no longer belonged here, and that the chances that she would get to look at the scenery here would only get slimmer.

Her guest room was in a villa next to Ink Garden, all the guests were arranged to stay there. She picked a quiet and dark room, which was near Grandma Vivian's room and the office as well.

Standing in front of the window, she glanced at Vivian's bedroom, as thoughts danced around in her mind.

The night was very cold and dark. Gradually, she started to feel tired and sleepy.

A dark figure slowly approached Vivian's bedroom in the Ink Garden.

Jenna's eyes widened all of a sudden, and her heart began to beat like a drum.

It was just like what she had expected.

That person really showed up again.

Looking at the figure, it was obvious that it was a man.

She had purposely given them a chance that night, and surely enough, they took action as soon as they heard the news.

But who was that man? What was he trying to do? Was he here for the Star of the Ocean?

Jenna turned around and quickly walked outside.

Seeing the figure enter Vivian's room, Jenna followed him quietly with light footsteps. She stood at the corner as she had planned, and held onto the wooden stick that she had prepared beforehand. At that moment, she didn’t dare to make any noise, fearing that she would alert the thief and he would run away.

It definitely did not go as she imagined.

The thief had entered Vivian's room through the entrance of the lounge. Just as she was staring at the entrance of the lounge with the stick in her hand, a gust of wind rushed by and a large hand grabbed her elbow. She wanted to scream out of shock, but another hand covered her mouth.

Soon, she was carried up and brought outside in an instant, as if she was floating on water.

Her lips were covered by that large hand, making her fluster and short of breath.

It's over. The treasure was going to end up in the thief's hand this time. She thought frantically.

However, at that time, her nose picked up a familiar scent.

She was stunned and anxious, and felt a little confused.

As they arrived at a corner, she was finally lifted down.

"What were you trying to do?" A cold voice sounded as she was trying to balance herself. The voice was icy and emotionless, so cold that Jenna felt her chest tighten. She immediately recognized the man who had carried her, and was so shocked that she couldn’ t stand properly. Her weak body collapsed as she lost her balance. Luckily, the large hand gave her a pull and helped her steady herself.

That person turned out to be Hansen.

Why did he pull her out? The thief had entered Grandma's room. She was in danger.

Thinking about this, she ignored Hansen and wanted to go back.

"Stop right there." Hansen shouted coldly, "What are you trying to do? Do you want to die?"

Jenna was startled. Did he know about this already?

"A thief went into Grandma's room. Grandma is in danger now. I have to go there," Jenna said anxiously as she turned around.

"And you think you can help her?" Hansen looked at her with his icy glare. His gaze rested on her abdomen for a short while, then quickly looked away.

"You know about this, don't you?" Jenna asked as she suddenly wondered why he was here.

"This is our family's business. It has nothing to do with you. Don't be nosy." Hansen's expression was indifferent. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and annoyance could be seen on his face.

"I..." Jenna was dumbfounded, and she did not know what to say.

"Remember, go back to your place and stay there. Don't run around at night. Take care of yourself these days. If anything happens to you, it has nothing to do with Richards Manor and we will not be responsible for it," Hansen said fiercely and he gave her a distant glance.

"Tryhard," he muttered, and he walked straight ahead.

"You..." Jenna watched his tall figure disappear into the night. She was anxious, and didn't have the heart to worry about being humiliated. "Hansen, Grandma is in danger now. No matter how much you hate me. Grandma being in danger is a fact. You have to do something about it."

Hansen stopped walking for a while, then turned around with his face full of anger and impatience. He turned to her and said, "I've already told you, it's none of your business. Go back and stay there. Don't meddle in our affairs."

"I'm still in charge of household matters. I can' t ignore the fact that someone had snuck into Grandma's room. Besides, it’s not the first time that this person had snuck into her room. He must have a reason for that," Jenna said stubbornly.

"Since you know that it’s not the first time he' s done that, then you should know that nothing will happen to Grandma for now. Go mind your own household matters. Stop being a busybody." Hansen roared. He was very irritated by her stubbornness.

His eyes and brows showed how cold yet haggard he was. His noble yet mysterious aura seemed heavy that day, but he looked calm and undisturbed. He was no longer the man in the past who would lose his rationality over love. Hansen's change worried Jenna, and she felt very distant as well.

Hansen stopped looking at her, turned around, and left.

Jenna stood at the same place, stunned, her heart was filled with unease.

She saw hatred in his eyes again, hatred for her.

It was hatred for her betrayal.

He was so distant, impatient, unhappy, and he probably despised her.

He was right. These were the Richards family's matters. She was an outsider, so why did she have to be nosy? It all had nothing to do with her anymore.

She walked back gloomily.

By the time she had arrived at her bedroom and took a look at Vivian's room through her window, Meroy had returned. She watched as Meroy entered the room, and nothing happened. She knew that it was just as Hansen had expected, nothing would happen.

She finally calmed down and started to feel sleepy. Very soon, she fell asleep.
