Getting My Ex-wife Back

Jenna stood there and stared blankly as Hansen turned his back away from her without saying a word. Somehow, his figure looked lonely.

As Jenna pressed her lips together, the sensation of his lips still lingered on hers.

This was the first time he has acted so cold to her since their last encounter in Los Angeles. She tried to walk away but she just couldn’t.

Her chest tightened; it was undeniable that she still loved him. When she watched how hurt he was that day, her heart shattered into a thousand pieces

As she caressed her belly, she turned around and walked out.

Hansen, who was still lying down on the bed, only began to get up when Jenna’s footsteps were barely audible. His bottom was aching but it was incomparable to the ache in his heart.

She resolutely left him without even looking back.

At that moment, he felt totally abandoned.

All he needed was her love, not pity. He wanted her whole heart.

He was already furious two days ago because of her interaction with Rayan. She really broke his heart when she still wanted to go out with Rayan.

She probably didn’t love him; even if she did, she didn’t love him enough. When a woman loved a man, could she be so distant and cold? Could she possibly cheat on him? This could only mean that her heart didn’t belong to him alone. This was not what he wanted at all.

She would not forgive him for the mistakes he made. No matter how he begged or explained, she just wouldn’t give way. There was only one explanation: her heart did not belong to him.

He pulled the blanket up to his chest. Lying on his stomach, he took out a cigarette and started smoking.

Eventually, he dozed off after an unknown period of time.

Jenna took a cab back to Collier Manor to pack some of Hansen’s daily necessities in a shopping bag. She then proceeded to buy some groceries and make some fish soup. It was already dark when the soup was done.

It was raining the whole day with the cold breeze gently blowing.

Staring out the window, she glanced at the outside world, feeling depressed for some reason.

Her hand went on to caress her belly.

A pricking pain pierced her heart like a sharp needle.

It was her twenty-sixth birthday. At this age, she was no longer a little girl. The child in her belly made her more aware of her future responsibilities and the upcoming burdens of life.

Could she do this alone? Would she have the courage?

She really didn’t know. But one thing for sure, her life was miserable.

The only man who wanted to celebrate her birthday with her had already been chased away by Hansen.

That day was her birthday.

It was written in the stars that her birthday would be crappy.

A bleak, wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She then transferred the soup into a thermal container.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Hansen was a very sensitive and picky person. He will not use anything that he wasn’t used to. He came from a loaded family, hence his picky attitude.

Jenna thought about this as she went downstairs.

Leaving him in the hospital alone must’ve made him upset. Jenna was sure that if she didn’t bring him something, he would definitely strike a protest by not eating or drinking.

She picked up the bag and took a taxi to the hospital.

He said that she should take care of him as how he did to her previously. Therefore, she would return this favor by taking care of him these few days.

She didn’t want to owe him.

There was pin-drop silence in the hospital.

When she arrived at the eighth floor, Hansen’s ward was pitch-black.

She was surprised. Has Hansen asked to be discharged from the hospital out of anger?

This cannot be good, she thought. He would still need to change his bandages. It was really not a great idea to be discharged this way.

While thinking of this, she pushed open the glass door.

She then switched on the wall lights.

However, the scene in front of her made her heart tremble.

Hansen was lying face-down on the bed sleeping. She saw cigarette butts in the ashtray beside him. The strong smell of smoke in the room immediately made Jenna cough softly.

On such a cold day, he didn’t wrap himself warm in his blanket. The heater was not turned on either. He could easily catch a cold like this.

Jenna sighed and gently stepped forward to air out the room. After the smell of smoke subsided, she shut the window back, then turned on the heater and adjusted the temperature back to normal.

He never took care of himself. Jenna just couldn’t imagine how it was like during the long hard years he worked in the business market. In the years of his downfall, she was not there for him and she did not fulfill her responsibilities as a wife.

But, she shouldn’t be blamed as well!

The young nurses were probably afraid of Hansen and didn’t dare to disturb him.

She took a blanket from the closet and gently covered him with it.

His face laid sideways and he was sleeping so soundly.

Beneath the white light, Jenna stared at him in a daze.

In fact, he was very fair-skinned, even more than a woman’s, and it was glowing. Such flawless skin did not affect his masculinity at all. His air of calmness and fortitude had once caught her heart.

However, his eyebrows were furrowed even when he was asleep, looking like a very lonely person.

Jenna sighed and her eyes became a little blurry. He was indeed a lonely man despite his bad personality.

Putting the things down gently, she got up to leave. She was afraid that it would be harder for her to leave him if she stayed for too long.

“Are you leaving just like that?” She just turned around when she heard a cold voice speaking.

Jenna was startled. He must’ve faked his sleep again, she thought.

“Why did you come back? Didn’t you leave?” Hansen asked as he looked at her with distant eyes.

“Why didn’t you open your eyes earlier when you’re clearly awake? Is it fun for you?” Jenna started to remember what she did a moment ago without knowing that Hansen was awake. Feeling awkward, she couldn’t get herself to speak in a good manner.

“Please, I really was asleep. You came barging into my room, can I still be asleep? I am a man. How can I be a deep sleeper?” Hansen frowned at Jenna’s accusation.

She would never believe him. He really did doze off. He was too tired recently. Just the previous night, he had to deal with an employee who committed suicide and comforted his family members; all these needed him to be there in person. He was occupied until late at night. Jenna’s sudden resignation placed a heavy burden on him and it was almost impossible for him to even get a good night’s sleep. What was worse, he got injured that day, hence he might as well get some rest.

Seeing that Hansen was being so serious, Jenna lowered her head down and no longer wished to argue about it.

“I brought you some of your things. Have you eaten yet?” It was already eight o’clock in the evening; he must have not eaten.

“I haven’t eaten, I fell asleep just now,” Hansen replied in a dull voice.

“I made some fish soup for you. You should drink it while it is hot. Hopefully, you will get well soon.” Jenna thought for a while and walked over to take out his cup, toothpaste, toothbrush, and daily necessities. She then took out the container filled with soup.

As she was worried that he didn’t know how to open the container, she decided to serve it to him. The smell of the fish soup instantly filled the room as hot steams were coming out of the container.

Jenna took out the spoon and poured out the fish soup, her actions cautious and her eyes focused.

Hansen stared at her beautiful face and the way her long eyelashes fluttered. Her face was a bit too pale, which made him feel very distressed.

“Come on, drink.” Jenna brought over the steaming-hot fish soup and handed it to him.

He did not answer but looked at her sullenly.

“Feed me, then I’ll drink,” he spoke lightly after a while.

Feed him like the way she fed him water? Jenna didn’t want to do it anymore.

She held the soup without budging.

“If you don’t want to, then throw it away. I won’t have it.” Noticing that she stood blankly on the spot, Hansen knew that she truly didn’t want to. With that, he reached into his pocket to get his pack of cigarettes.

“Fine, let me feed you. I will use a spoon and you cannot smoke.” In the end, Jenna compromised.

The corners of Hansen’s mouth slightly curved upwards and he withdrew the hand that was about to take a cigarette.

He did not make it hard for her too. Instead, he agreed to her requests.

“Come on, open your mouth.” Jenna took a spoonful of soup, blew on it a few times, and then fed him. Hansen opened his mouth obediently.

Seeing that there were soup stains at the corner of his mouth, she took a tissue and carefully wiped it off. Her movements were so gentle. Hansen’s heart melted instantly as he looked at her with tender eyes.

“Can you just focus on drinking the soup?” Jenna saw that he was just opening his mouth mechanically whilst watching her face; it made her blush.

Outside, the freezing rain was getting heavier as they could hear the raindrops crashing on the balcony windows.

Hansen suddenly felt that the atmosphere was very warm and peaceful. This was what he had longed for a long time.

“Okay, I’ll have the soup,” he replied and smiled like a silly person.

Jenna was really amused by his oblivion.

He didn’t even know what she was asking.

As the time passed, he took whatever Jenna fed him. He even finished the remaining fish residues.

“If it’s not enough, I’ll order another takeout for you,” Jenna said as she realized that he only had some soup.

“Alright, I’m hungry,” he nodded and replied. “But, I don’t want to eat takeouts, I want you to cook for me.”

“It’s already so late. How am I supposed to cook for you?” Jenna was annoyed once again. This guy was so inconsiderate of the circumstances. It was her birthday that day and she had to take care of her ex-husband that she hated so much; who humiliated her before. D*mn it.

“I don’t care. If you cook, I will eat. If you don’t, I won’t eat,” he replied whilst laying on the bed lazily.

Jenna was speechless.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Hansen answered in a deep voice.

The door opened and Jose walked in while carrying a notebook and a bag in his hands.

Soon, Jose gave the reports about the company to Hansen. Jenna figured that Hansen had to burn the midnight oil. Considering that he only drank some fish soup., she decided to head out after a moment’s thought

“Where are you going?” As Hansen listened to Jose, the corner of his eyes had never left Jenna. When he saw her heading out, he asked hurriedly.

“You guys can proceed to discuss work, I’ll visit my mother at her ward.” She turned her head with a smile on her face.

Hansen nodded and said to Jose, “Do carry on.”

As their conversation continued, Jenna went to her mother’s ward. She saw that Sara was asleep, therefore she tiptoed to the kitchen. She looked for food in all the cabinets and only found some noodles. Fortunately, there were some vegetables too.

She quickly got busy.

It wasn’t until a bowl of hot noodles was prepared that she walked towards Hansen’s ward.
