Getting My Ex-wife Back

“That would be great.” Sabrina happily applauded as she stared at Jenna. “How about it, Jenna? I told you so.”

Jenna smiled.

Sabrina had a captivating gaze, glistening with traces of innocence, and her smile was pure happiness. It was unlike Jenna’s smile, which had different meanings behind it.

After Hansen and Christopher left, Jenna and Sabrina brought forward the idea. Just as Meroy predicted, Vivian immediately agreed and promised to give them 20 million dollars to organize this annual banquet. Vivian wanted the event to be as lively and festive as possible.

Jenna and Sabrina were shocked by her immediate response.

They couldn’t grasp Vivian’s thoughts. Even when it was her ninetieth birthday, the family was not allowed to publicize it. It was a surprise that she would invest so much in such a common annual banquet.

But now that she agreed and was willing to hold such a banquet, Jenna couldn’t say much.

Soon, the news that Jenna was organizing a New Year banquet spread throughout Richards Manor and the entire manor was filled with excitement. The quiet garden instantly came to life.

Jenna soon felt the glamor of being a master.

The servants rushed to her and paid their respects to her. They wanted to get some work and benefits from her.

What was the meaning of holding an annual banquet with 20 million dollars, making sure it was festive and joyous?

It felt like buying happiness, spending money in a unique way.

Therefore, this opportunity to make a fortune was the envy of many, including corporations that used to earn money through Richards Manor. Every one of them was finding ways to get close to Jenna.

Jenna was in a position of power, beaming with pride. Her reputation instantly skyrocketed.

However, she was unaffected. She was neither humble nor proud and did not get close to anyone.

She knew that all of this did not belong to her.

The head office of the manor was located in Ink Garden, where Jenna worked every morning.

After thinking about it for a long time, she planned to set up the banquet on the central island. She was planning to decorate the place as a mysterious plum blossoms garden, along with a plethora of delicious delicacies. She planned to set a stage up and invited famous singers and celebrities.

Because of the cold weather, they needed tents. There was an observatory in the center of Richards Manor, which was blessed with a gorgeous view of A city. Standing here at night, they could see the whole city glistening with stars along with the jaw-dropping island view.

Jenna was the one who thought of this design.

Sabrina practically shadowed Jenna. She followed her every day and everywhere, constantly making suggestions. She vowed that they would hold the best annual banquet ever.

This day, she sat on the hanging rattan chair on a balcony, browsing all sorts of delicacies. She was swinging her feet, contented.

This hanging rattan chair was her favorite spot, where there was a thick plush quilt, keeping her warm against the chilling wind outside.

Jenna was afraid of the cold, therefore she sat in the office and worked inside instead.

“Norton, you’re here.” Suddenly, Sabrina’s surprise cry came from the corridor.

Jenna was stunned and raised her head.

“Sabrina, are you comfortable living here?” Norton approached, smiling, and said softly, “How is your father?”

“He’s fine. Thank you for asking.” Sabrina’s face was painted with a tint of pink. Her expression softened, left with just a small smile hanging on her face, her eyes glistening.

“That’s good. Hey, Sabrina, I initially planned to visit your father before New Year but too many things got in the way. Since you’re here, just have fun. I will take you out someday,” Norton said gently.

“Okay,” Sabrina replied while fidgeting with her hands, her head lowered.

Norton’s eyes flickered behind his lenses but there was a warm smile on his face and his eyes glanced into the room from time to time.

“What is Grandma doing?” he asked casually.

“Grandma has been having chest discomfort these two days but she is resting,” Sabrina replied with a smile, gaze soft and gentle.

“Then, everything is fine, right?” Norton looked a little nervous and asked with concern.

“It shouldn’t be a big problem. Meroy is an experienced doctor and she is looking into it,” Sabrina smiled and replied.

“Okay, that’s good.” Norton breathed a sigh of relief with a smile on his face.

“Aren’t you going in to see Grandma?” Sabrina asked with wide eyes as she suddenly raised her head.

“I think it’s best to not disturb her,” Norton hesitated before he said gently. After a moment of hesitation, he said seriously, “Sabrina, I have something to ask you. Can we talk in private?”

“Okay,” Sabrina agreed enthusiastically.

Norton turned around and walked outside, Sabrina followed behind closely. Both of them walked at a steady pace.

Jenna pulled the curtains open to watch them.

From the outside, they looked perfect for each other. One petite and exquisite, the other tall and muscular; a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they were really a match made in heaven.

It was just that Sabrina was kind but Jenna wouldn’t say the same thing about Norton. Would he cherish this marriage?

Jenna sighed.

Based on her instincts, Norton approached Sabrina not to flirt with her. What would it be?

Sabrina was simple-minded but Norton was deceitful. If Norton had any bad intentions, Sabrina would not be able to know.

Thinking of this, Jenna felt uneasy.

After a while, Sabrina came over and Norton left.

There was still a faint blush on her cheeks. She was smiling as if she’d seen her Prince Charming.

“Sabrina, who was that?” Jenna asked, looking at the account book, acting casual.

“It was Norton, Jenna.” Sabrina was an open book and the corners of her lips curled up with tenderness.

“Oh, Norton. It’s about time for him to come see you too,” Jenna said calmly. “You’ve been at the manor for many days, you probably haven’t seen him yet.”

“Yes, Norton is very busy.” Sabrina pouted her lips and said, “However, he said that he will make time to bring me to the movies soon.”

“That’s great.” Jenna laughed and raised her head. “Was this all he said to you?”

“Yeah.” Sabrina nodded.

“Sweet. He purposely came to the manor to ask you out. He seems to really like you. You will be very happy.” Jenna saw how shy Sabrina was and teased her.

“No, he just came over to ask about my father’s situation. He wants to contact my father!” Sabrina was so excited that her face turned red and she hurriedly defended.

Norton was looking for General Delia? Jenna’s heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, Norton did not come here to find Sabrina but to ask about her father.

What did he want to see General Delia for?

In just a short while, Jenna had a bad feeling.

She hesitated but in the end, she just shook her head and smiled. “Norton usually doesn’t visit you but now he decides to see you. I bet he is trying to please the old man. Do teach him a lesson to not be so impolite next time. He needs to know how to respect you.”

A slight frustration flashed across Sabrina’s face but was soon covered by a sweet smile.

In fact, she knew that in recent years, Norton was ignorant of her family. Other than visiting her father for Vivian’s sake during the holidays, they barely kept in contact.

However, she never thought much about it.

After all, everyone was busy!

On the vast golf course.

Hansen, who was wearing a sweatshirt, took a deep breath, straightened his arms, and bent his legs slightly. He held the club and aimed before swinging. With a muffled “bang”, the ball shot out and quickly fell into the hole.

His posture was very elegant and graceful.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Whoa, nice swing!” Christopher stood on the side watching how perfect Hansen’s posture was and how accurate his shot was. He seemed impressed. He liked golf but would never be able to strike as good as Hansen, let alone maintain such a perfect posture as his.

This has become a pain in the a*s to Christopher. If it came to their skillsets, he had to spend more time practicing than him.

Hansen was naturally talented. No matter what he did, it was perfect. This was what Christopher envied him for. It was for his talents in so many aspects that he has high self-esteem.

But this time when he came over, Christopher unexpectedly discovered that Norton seemed to be more low-profile. He seemed calmer. He no longer had that aggressive look in his eyes and the signature smirk on his face. Christopher even saw a rare touch of tenderness and sadness in his eyes.

From this, Christopher was determined that Hansen was having trouble with Jenna! Perhaps, he was going through something.

Christopher swung the club and struck out the ball. Goal.

“Christopher, I’m sure you didn’t come to A City just to play golf with me?” Hansen asked faintly after striking another ball.

Christopher held the club with his eyes slightly narrowed. After striking the ball steadily, he took a breath and smiled. “I heard that Jenna is going to hold a special annual banquet in the Richards Manor. It is such a rare opportunity. I don’t want to miss it, hence I decided to stay for New Year.”

New Year? Hansen glanced at him and mocked, “Come on, our manor is no place for someone high and mighty like you. Don’t talk nonsense with me. Get to the point. I’m busy.”

What he said was true.

Since Jenna resigned, work has been piling up. In the past few days, he had to work until the wee hours every night. Sometimes, he found himself sleeping in the office till the next day.

For him to spare time to accompany Christopher showed a lot.
