Chapter 1382 He Was Angry
“I have always wanted to have a good chat with Raeleigh but never had the chance to. Now that she’s here in Green Jade Garden and she still has many things to learn, I should tell her as her mother-in-law. What’s more, what happened earlier was unpleasant; I’m worried she’ll feel uneasy, so I want to comfort her.”
Jenna found a big excuse for herself. On the other hand, Hansen frowned deeply. “If you’re going to comfort Raeleigh. Who’s going to comfort me?”
Raeleigh was rendered speechless then. She was astonished that there was such a person alive; his possessiveness sure was intense.
“Jerry will. Right, Jerry?”
Jenna stood up and took Raeleigh away regardless of Hansen’s displeasure. Hansen took a step forward with a gloomy expression on his face.
Jepherson was visibly upset too, looking at his father as he said, “It’s your fault that your wife doesn’t listen to you.”
Hansen glared daggers at him in turn. “Are you asking for a beating?”
With that, Jepherson walked away; his father obviously didn’t need his comfort.
Raeleigh followed Jenna to their room and went in to make sleeping arrangements.
“Ah… Mom, you can sleep inside; I’ll sleep outside,” Raeleigh said after making the bed. Jenna looked at Raeleigh and said, “Raeleigh, you don’t have to do any of this. We see you as our daughter and not an in-law. You can live the way you used to. I know Grandma still doesn’t accept you, but it won’t always be like this. When I first entered the family, I also encountered a lot of hardships. The most important thing is the love between you and Jerry, no?”
“I did what I should. You are my elder. I can’t ask you to make the bed, can I?” Raeleigh explained. Jenna was glad to know she was sensible at the very least.
“Let’s get some rest.” With that, Jenna had already taken off her clothes and got under the quilt. Seeing so, Raeleigh followed suit.
It was the first time for Raeleigh to sleep in the same bed with Jenna. Thus, she felt a little uneasy, and her body tensed up.
“Raeleigh, don’t be nervous. The bed is big enough for the both of us to sleep in.”
Jenna found it amusing, thinking she must’ve been like her as well when she was young.
Raeleigh tried to calm down at that and finally said when she was no longer nervous, “I have something to ask, but I don’t know if I should.”
To be honest, she didn’t want to have her finger in the pie, but she had already promised Jacky. There was no other way.
“There’s nothing you can’t ask. Go ahead.” Jenna was actually on the verge of falling asleep and was really sleepy.
After thinking for a while, Raeleigh asked about Deanna. Jenna squinted her eyes and turned around to look at Raeleigh after hearing her words.
“Why are you suddenly asking about her?” Jenna was not a fool. Of course, she knew very well why Raeleigh asked.
And Raeleigh didn’t hide anything either, telling everything about Jacky. Jenna thought for a while and said, “I really like Jacky; he’s a decent one. Your Auntie Hannah is also an understanding person, but she always listens to Rayan. Their family had always seen Deanna as the apple of their eyes, and they found it hard to accept Deanna was pregnant before marriage.”
“Raeleigh, I watched the girl grow up. Try to put yourself in Hannah’s shoes; what would you do?”
“I’ll be angry.”
“That’s why the Whalen family won’t let it go just like this.”
It was clear that Jenna didn’t want to get involved in this matter. After all, this had to do with Deanna’s reputation.
However, Jacky was indeed decent, and Jenna could tell. Even if she didn’t believe her eyes, she trusted her sons.
Since her two sons could become friends with Jacky, it meant that he was a promising young man. Nevertheless, she thought it’d be a good marriage.
Raeleigh thought for a moment before she said, “But I’ve already promised Jacky. Plus, I believe Deanna also wants to see him. If I can help them, why not.”
“Raeleigh, my dear, are you a hundred percent sure about this? Help them?”
If Jenna did not ask, Raeleigh was certain. However, now that she did, Raeleigh started questioning herself.
With a frown, she said, “I don’t know anymore.”
Jenna turned over. “Get some sleep, for now, Raeleigh. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
Jenna refused to discuss further, so Raeleigh had to give up. She closed her eyes and thought for a while before drifting to sleep.
She got up very early the next day as she had a restless sleep, not only because she was in an unfamiliar space but that Jenna was also next to her.
Raeleigh got up to wash up. When she opened the door, she was surprised to find Jepherson standing outside, and at the same time, he turned back when he heard the doorknob turn.
“It’s so cold. Why did you get up so early?”
Raeleigh walked to Jepherson. He glanced at the closed door and said, “I didn’t sleep well.”
“Because of last night?”
“Did something happen last night?”
Seeing that Jepherson chose to play dumb, she put the matter to rest.
“Nothing.” Raeleigh took a look at the Green Jade Garden in the morning. If there was a place comparable to their manor, the first thing that came to mind was the Richards Group manor.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say the Richards family were the richest and owned the most luxurious place in the entire city.
Every corner was a sight to behold.
“Is Mom up yet?” Jepherson asked. She looked back and said, “Probably not. She slept a little late last night.”
“And you didn’t?” he asked again, but she didn’t answer. He knew clearly, yet he still chose to ask. How weird.
Seeing that she fell silent, he took her hand and said, “Come, let’s go make breakfast.”
“Make breakfast?” Raeleigh looked up at him and commented. “It’s not like you guys can’t afford servants given your wealth. Yet you’re asking your guest to make breakfast?”
She was merely thinking out loud, and Jepherson did not take it seriously. After he went to the kitchen with Raeleigh, he said the soup from last night was delicious. If it wasn’t late and they needed to rest, he would have wanted more.
However, she thought words were just excuses. However, since they were already in the kitchen, Raeleigh washed her hands and quickly got down to making breakfast, not thinking it was a fuss either.
Jepherson ordered the servants to leave them be as they started making fish soup again.
Raeleigh was no longer by her side when Jenna got up. As soon as she came out of the room, she saw her husband standing outside, waiting for her.
Jenna closed the door and turned to look at her husband. “Are you not afraid that Raeleigh might ridicule you? You’re not young anymore; what are you doing here?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Hansen turned to look at his beloved wife. “Hmph!”
He was angry!
