Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 308

"Rayan, I'm at Richards Manor. I was just about to go and look for you," Jenna said casually with a faint smile on her face.

"Don't you have to stay there today?" He asked as he let out a sigh of relief.

"Yes. I don't have anything to do here anymore. Therefore, I'll be leaving today." She answered gently.

"Alright then. Wait for me. I'll come and pick you up," Rayan said tenderly with a smile across his face.

"Okay, Rayan. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of Richards Manor." Jenna walked over to the electric cars and put her cellphone away.

It wouldn't take Rayan too long to come here. She would just have to walk out now and wait for a while.

She stood by the roadside, and didn't see any electric cars.

The atmosphere in Richards Manor was still very lively. The last event would be held at nine o'clock in the morning. Earl McAdams was going to give a speech to celebrate the end of the New Year's banquet at Richards Manor. In the afternoon, the guests would be provided with spare time, and they would start leaving the place.

There was probably a shortage of electric cars due to the amount of people leaving that day. Jenna could only stand there and wait patiently as she didn't see any cars after a long while. After all, it would take too long to walk all the way to the main entrance.

Suddenly, a faint sound of crying entered Jenna's ear.

Jenna was shocked, and lifted her head to take a look around. She didn't see anyone approaching, and listened attentively. There were still sounds of crying. They were very soft, and yet were still audible.

She could hear clearly that they were coming from the Green Jade Garden.

She frowned and walked quietly towards the crying sounds.

Among a pile of green leaves sat a small figure on a bench. Her head was buried in her knees, and her small body was trembling. The crying sounds were coming from her.

"Sabrina!" She couldn't help but to exclaim.

Sabrina was shivering all over. Maybe she heard her voice. So, she raised her head.

Jenna stepped forward and saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was full of tears and sorrow. Her heart twinged. What made this girl so sad?

"Sabrina, what happened? Why are you crying here?" She asked in surprise.

Sabrina looked at her with her bloodshot eyes. Her eyes were no longer as bright and clear as before. Instead, they were covered with a layer of misery. It was soul-stirring.

"Jenna, you knew about everything all this while, didn't you?" Sabrina asked her coldly as she sobbed.

"Knew about what?" Jenna was taken aback, and quickly asked. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Stop lying to me. I know everything now. You're all liars, and you've all been hiding the truth from me. To think that I thought that you were like a sister to me." The base of Sabrina's eyes were filled

with rage, and her face was full of exasperation. "The truth was that you didn't take me as a sister at all, and you hid all of this from me. I was left to be played around like a fool. I'm so stupid."

As she said this, she started sobbing again. She shrugged her shoulders every once in a while.

Jenna was frightened, and held onto her shoulders as she asked. "Sabrina, what's going on? Please tell me. I've always regarded you as my best friend and sister. I never intended to hide anything from you."

Seeing that simple- minded girl looking so wretched, her heart was in distress..

"You're lying. Do you dare say that you didn't know what Norton Richards did?" she raised her head and roared at her, as tears gushed down her face.

Jenna was stunned.

It seemed that someone had told her what Norton had done.

She finally knew!

It was understandable. For a girl around her age to cry so sadly, it was most likely due to relationship issues. Why had she been so silly? Why hadn't she realized it sooner?

For a moment there, she was at a loss for words!

How was she going to reply to her? She truly did hide the facts from her.

She stood there, feeling a little uneasy.

"I knew it. All of you were hiding it from me and played me like a fool, and to think that I had always stood up for you," Sabrina said angrily, and rose immediately. "Forget it. We'll just pretend that we've never met. You do you and I'll do me. From now on, we are no longer related."

After spitting out those words angrily, she walked past Jenna and was ready to leave.

"Sabrina." Jenna quickly grabbed onto her arm and said apologetically, "Don't be like this. Please let me explain."

"What is there to explain? Norton killed your father. You'll never forgive him, nor will you ever defend him. Now, I know that it's his fault. However, we were as close as sisters. You should've told me about this, and not watch me get closer and closer to him. Now, everyone thinks I'm a joke," she said furiously.

"Sabrina." Jenna swallowed her saliva and began to explain with great strain. "Sabrina, I've always wanted to tell you about this, but I didn't know how. After all, he was your fiance. Think about it, I've always tried asking you about Norton, and how you were doing with him. I was worried that he was approaching you with bad intentions. I even told you not to take it so seriously and to let everything happen on its own. I did all these because I didn't want you to get hurt, and that you would be mentally prepared. These days, whenever I mentioned Norton, your face would be filled with excitement and joy. I couldn't bring myself to tell you about these incidents and ruin your happiness. I felt very sad too."

Jenna glanced at her with a face full of sorrow, and saw that her face was covered in tears. The day she feared the most had arrived. Sabrina's current predicament was just like her situation prior to this.

Poor girl.

"Please forgive me, Sabrina. Things will never be the same anymore. This had happened a very long time ago. If you really love Norton, then try your best to forgive him. This is the only way." She struggled to string the words together as she held onto her arm.

Sabrina clenched her little hand into a fist. Her face was red with anger.

"That's impossible. I will never fall in love with a guy like that. He's terrible. I want to break off the engagement," she said as she clenched her fist and bit her lip. Her words sounded heartless, but Jenna could see the despair and reluctance deep down in her eyes. Her heart ached, and she shook her head.

This silly girl had fallen into the trap of love. Thinking about it, she realized that she should've told her about it earlier. Telling her and making her come to a decision now was cruel. It seemed that she was really a bad friend. She felt a trace of guilt in her heart.

"Sabrina, don't be impulsive. Calm down and give it some thought. Does General Delia know about this?" Jenna asked, while consoling her. If General Delia still wanted her to marry him after knowing about this, Sabrina would not be able to go along with her decision, and she was worried about her.

"My father only came to the Richards Group today because he had matters to deal with before. I don't think he knows about it yet." Sabrina shook her head as she sniffled hard.

Jenna suddenly recalled seeing General Delia's name on the guest list, but she didn't remember hearing anyone talk about him. She didn't know General Delia personally. Therefore, she didn't give much thought about it.

Jenna held her hand tightly and said pitifully, "Sabrina, you'll always be my best friend. Please don't blame me for not telling you what Norton had done in time. I just didn't want to see you get hurt. I have to leave now. Please don't do anything out of impulse in the future. Ask your father first. I cannot do anything about this. However, I chose to forgive Norton, for your sake."

As she spoke, she went up to her and gave her a tight hug, patting her lightly on her back.

"Go ahead, Jenna. The men from the Richards family are not decent men. They're not worthy of our love. Once you leave, I'll leave this place too. I hope to see you again." Sabrina started to calm down, and could feel Jenna's sincerity. She wiped her tears and said earnestly, "I won't blame you,

Jenna. You've been through a lot more pain here than I had, yet you're still so kind and beautiful, and can even design such perfect cars. Hansen is not worthy of being with you. Not being able to marry you is his loss. We'll see very soon, how Aria will transform Richards Manor into an unpleasant place. It's good that you're leaving. I support your decision. The men of the Richards family are all jerks. It's not our fault."

Tears welled up in Jenna's eyes instantly. She took Sabrina's hand excitedly and said softly, "Sabrina, thank you for understanding."

Sabrina lifted her head, and smiled nonchalantly.

At that instant, Jenna felt that she had matured a lot.

"Jenna, I take back what I've said. Can we still remain in contact in the future?" She asked anxiously as she looked at her with her bright eyes.

Jenna smiled, and tears trickled down her cheeks. She paused for a long moment, grabbed her hand, and muttered, "Don't worry, we will. Please take care of yourself."

She let go of Sabrina's hand, turned around, and walked out.

The electric car had finally arrived. She waved at Sabrina and sat in the car.

A black jeep drove steadily in front of them.

Jenna was in awe. What was this security guard doing? How could he drive into Richards Manor just like that? Shouldn't he park the car in the parking lot?

However, she had no time to be bothered by it. It was already past nine o'clock, and the banquet was still taking place on the Central Island. It was the perfect moment for her to leave, before Hansen could find out and stop her.

Very soon, the black jeep drove past her, and she didn't pay attention to it.

A well- known host of A City stood on the magnificent stage, holding a microphone in her hand. Her movements were graceful. Her smile was polite, and her voice was sweet. The upcoming performance involved many famous singers and celebrities. It was just like a music festival. The scene was very lively and extravagant, and everyone was looking forward to it.

Guests filled the seats under the stage, and they were all very excited for the performances. They waved their ribbons and fluorescent glow sticks, adding bright lights and colors to the banquet.

"Next, let's welcome Mayor McAdams of A City to give us a speech, and to celebrate the success of the Richards Manor New Year's banquet." The saccharine voice of the host could be heard across the hall.

A big round of applause roared in an instant.

Soft music was played, and the stage lights were focused on Earl McAdams, who stood firmly in the middle of the stage with a bright smile on his face.

His spirits were high. He exuded a dignified aura, but the smile on his face was gentle and friendly.

After a moment, the hall went silent.
