Chapter 1383 Trip to Everland
Jenna couldn’t wrap her head around why Hansen was so angry at her when they were merely separated for half a night. How petty of him.
However upset he was, she ignored him and went to look for Raeleigh herself instead, knowing that he would not be so kind as to tell her where she was. Only when she asked the servants did she learn Raeleigh and Jepherson were making fish soup in the kitchen. With that, she turned and walked toward her husband, saying, “Look how well our son respects you. He knows that you like fish soup, so he made more for you today.”
However, he didn’t say anything. The fact that she left him alone by sleeping with Raeleigh the night before still rankled him, and he couldn’t forgive her for the time being.
On the other hand, Jenna did not take it to heart but walked away instead, saying, “I need to talk to you about something. Let’s go home.”
Her room was not far from her son’s; it was only about a three-minute walk as all the rooms in Green Jade Garden were connected. She planned on washing up and doing a quick change.
Hansen did not move until he heard the sound of the door opening and closing.
Right after he entered the bedroom, he ogled at his wife changing.
Just as Jenna put on a shirt, Hansen came behind her and took them off. She turned around and looked at her husband angrily as she was left with only a bra!
He bent down and picked up his beloved wife, and they were off to their bed for some morning exercise.
By the time they came out, Raeleigh’s fish soup was ready, and so was other breakfast.
It was only then Raeleigh asked Jepherson, “Does Green Jade Garden eat separately from Ink Garden?”
“Normally, the kitchen here was not in use before this, and we would go over to the Ink Garden to have meals. But it seems unnecessary now.”
“Is it because of me?”
She tried not to think about it, but she couldn’t help herself. After all, things were different before she came.
“Not entirely. There are some things unknown to the world about the Richards Group Manor. Grandma has always been domineering, and Mom has always respected her. However, because my mom made up with Grandma in the past, in addition to how well my mom treated her all these years, she let her behavior get the best of her.”
“But it’s still not nice for your family to treat an elder like this.”
Raeleigh was speaking from her heart. No matter how bad Marissa treated her, she knew Marissa had her family’s best interest at heart.
Stella had a good family background, just like Deanna.
If her family background were like theirs when they first met, perhaps Marissa would accept her too.
Raeleigh could imagine how much Marissa cared about the family.
Jepherson turned to Raeleigh. “Are you for real?”
“You can dig out my heart and have a look yourself.”
She was grave about it. Although she was upset he doubted her, she knew he wasn’t serious.
However, she deliberately put on a straight face as she wanted to know how he would react, but who would’ve thought…
He leaned in and kissed her lips as if he wasn’t bothered by it.
She was puzzled when she saw him looking at the door after ending the kiss. Curious, she looked over only to see Xanthus walking over and blushed to her neck in an instant.
“It’s your fault!”
As Raeleigh complained, she rolled her eyes at Jepherson. He then grabbed her hand and pulled her aside.
He looked at Xanthus, who was already nearing them, and asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”
“Not too bad. It’s different from my usual, but I managed to fall asleep.”
Xanthus then looked at Raeleigh. “Happy New Year!”
His wish got her stumped for a moment. If he hadn’t brought it up, she would have forgotten it was New Year’s.
As Raeleigh smiled, Hansen and Jenna came over too.
“What are you guys chatting about?” Jenna’s face was glowing as she walked over to them behind Hansen. Hansen was also looking radiant. Both of them looked like babies who had just woken up; that was Raeleigh’s first thought when she turned to look at them, having a sudden feeling that Jenna was living a blissful life.
“Nothing much. I was just asking if Xanthus is used to living here,” Jepherson explained. Jenna immediately turned to Xanthus and said, “I wouldn’t be surprised if you feel like a fish out of water, but with time, you’ll get used to it.”
“Yeah.” Xanthus could say nothing more. The whole world knew how shrewd Hansen was, but if he didn’t have such an excellent wife, he would not have been so glorious.
With two excellent sons and such an amazing husband, there was no way she’d be a frail woman.
Xanthus could only agree to Jenna’s words as she spoke before him.
Raeleigh stood aside, wearing an obsequious smile.
Then Jenna turned to Raeleigh and said, “Raeleigh, I’ve thought about what you told me last night. It is not convenient for your father and me to intervene in this matter, but there is someone who can help.”
While speaking, Jenna told everyone to sit down and asked Raeleigh to sit beside her. While eating, Jenna said to Jepherson, “When I heard Rayan and Hannah had returned, I planned on visiting them, but I was too late. I made a call to her just now, and she said she’s on vacation at Everland. A lot of things have happened since we came back, and your father is not in good health. I figured a breath of fresh air would do the trick, so I plan on visiting Rayan.”
Raeleigh thought it was odd Jenna wanted to pay Rayan a visit.
Why did she feel that the former and latter were somewhat unrelated?
Jenna continued, “Today is New Year’s. Your father and I will fly to Everland tomorrow. You guys can go ahead with the celebrations without us; we will be back in about two weeks.”
Jenna kicked Raeleigh under the table, causing her to turn to Jenna slowly. Jenna patted her hand and said, “You and Jepherson are the ones I’m most worried about leaving here; you two have to take good care of each other.”
However, Raeleigh did not answer, and Jenna started to eat. After eating and talking for a while, she left with Hansen.
Raeleigh looked at Jepherson from time to time, thinking he was eating too slowly and had always been.
It wasn’t until he finished his breakfast that Raeleigh left with Xanthus following behind her. They took a stroll in Green Jade Garden as they chatted. She turned her head a few times to see if Jepherson followed them, but he never did, and she felt relieved.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
