Chapter 259 Crumbling Willpower
What? Hansen?
Jenna screamed in shock.
She had slept in Hansen’s embrace.
While she took a closer look, he was sleeping soundly, even her cry didn’t wake him up.
Frozen in shock, she watched him sleep like a baby in a daze.
He was in slumber comfortably as usual, without any odd expressions at all.
That day was the third and last day of the deadline that Earl forced him to decide on the date of marriage. Although she had already negotiated with Aria and changed the deadline to ten days, Hansen did not know about it.
Why did he still come to stay with her?
Was it just habitual?
However, his attitude…
Didn’t he worry about Earl’s threat at all? Or perhaps, did he inform them about the date of marriage they asked for when he went out last night?
She felt uneasy.
She didn’t know when he sneaked in last night. However, she didn’t want to look into it anymore.
She sat on the bed dazedly for a long moment.
“Why did you wake up so early? Lie down and sleep for a while more.” Hansen felt the emptiness in his arms and it became chilly for him. Soon, he woke up and saw Jenna sitting in a daze. He stretched out his hand to drag her back into the sheets as he spoke gently.
“Hansen, it’s getting late. Let’s get up,” Jenna said with bitterness in her heart as she nudged him.
“What’s with the hurry? It’s snowing again outside and it’s cold now. Sleep a little longer with me,” Hansen replied lazily as he laid beneath the cozy blanket.
Seeing that he was still acting slovenly without a concern, she thought about what she told him the day before. However, she had no idea whether he agreed to it, or if he just did not bother about it at all.
“Hansen, have you already done what I told you yesterday?” Ignoring the bitterness in her heart, she asked.
Hansen laid lazily with his eyes shut, paying no heed to her words.
Since Jenna couldn’t get an answer from him, she was even more disinterested to continue laying in the sheets. She then struggled to sit up again.
“Don’t move,” Hansen gripped her waist firmly and ordered softly.
“I don’t want to sleep anymore.” Jenna felt a little annoyed.
“Do you not feel like sleeping anymore or do you not want to sleep with me at all?” Sensing the impatience in her tone, Hansen opened his eyes abruptly and asked gloomily.
Jenna was taken by surprise. However, she didn’t explain anything and just put up a straight face.
“Am I that hateful to you?” Hansen locked her waist in his arms and made her face him as he stared at her sternly while asking.
What was going on in his mind? Jenna wondered.
She was utterly speechless.
“Can you do what I told you yesterday? Or have you already made a decision?” She did not feel like beating around the bush with him anymore. Since she had already said it directly the previous night, there was no need to hide anything. Therefore, she asked straightforwardly.
“What are you talking about?” Hansen threw a question back at her indifferently with a puzzled expression on his face.
Goodness, did he forget what she said the previous night just like that? Or was he truly unbothered by it?C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Gosh, Jenna felt like drowning in her tears.
“About what I told you yesterday. I asked you to marry Aria.” Jenna felt dejected but she had to ask him patiently again.
His expression was full of bewilderment and Jenna couldn’t tell that he was deliberately faking it. He must’ve simply forgotten what happened and took what she said with a grain of salt.
“Do you have a problem with your head or are you out of your mind? Why are you mentioning something so unpleasant in the early morning? It’s impossible, you know.” Hansen knocked her head lightly as he scolded her with a gentle expression on his face.
Jenna was dumbfounded. Not only did he not take her words seriously, but she could also guarantee that this was the first time since he was born that he treated someone with such a good attitude and patience. Moreover, he used his first on her.
Seeing Hansen’s determination and his slight disdain, Jenna realized that he would not listen to her at all.
For an instant, she felt glad. However, she felt even more anxious.
“Hansen, I know that you love me and you’re really nice to me, but still, I would like to ask you to marry Aria.” She lowered her head and buried her face under the blankets near his chest as she told him dejectedly.
“Knowing that I’m good to you is enough,” Hansen said as he chuckled. He did not know what to do as he saw the adorably indignant expression on the petite woman in his arms. He reached out and stroked her hair, heaving a sigh as he asked softly, “Jenna, you’ve been persistently asking me this; do you have no confidence in me, or are you trying to test me? In fact, you can trust me, I have already said that in my lifetime, I will not marry any other woman except you. Don’t worry.”
As he said that, his hands slowly trailed down her undergarments and stroked her there.
Jenna was immediately turned on by his warm hands. She felt like her body was on fire.
He would not believe that she truly meant what she said.
In fact, she herself would not believe it as well. After all, there wouldn’t be any woman in this world who was stupid enough to push the man she loved into the arms of other women.
However, Jenna was being truthful at that moment. Only she herself knew this best.
Nonetheless, Hansen’s confession to her that was filled with determination made her heart feel warm.
It was enough that he felt like that. She was responsible for protecting Richards Group and she can’t selfishly disregard everything in order to get him. That was not her character.
“Hansen, I’m telling the truth,” she spoke again with an unwavering tone.
“It’s still early in the morning; stop being a killjoy by saying things like this.” Hansen’s hand was lingering on her body and he was already eager to do something. Her words were quickly forgotten as he moved his hands to her sensitive spot. His breathing became erratic. As he flipped around and hovered over her, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly, “Do you really want me to give you some confidence? Or do I have to do you properly so that you stop talking nonsense all day?”
“Don’t, Hansen,” Jenna cried anxiously.
Hansen smiled devilishly as he pushed her clothes up and dived right down. Their tongues began battling sensually.
“Hey, you…” Jenna’s words of resistance gradually lost firmness as his light kiss and teasing made her lose herself in the pleasure.
On such an early morning, it was snowing outside but it felt warm as spring inside the house as the young couple who just woke up were full of passion and love. Lust filled the atmosphere as a strong desire for each other could be felt and even the strongest determination would begin to slowly disintegrate. As they reached their climax, she heard Hansen’s affectionate whisper in her ear, “Jenna, we will remarry after New Year and I will give you the most luxurious wedding in the world when that time comes. I’ll make you the happiest woman in the world.”
At this moment, the walls of Jenna’s heart began to collapse. No matter how firm her willpower was initially, it began to crumble. She hugged him tightly, thinking of staying with him like this and fighting with him. She had forgotten Marissa’s request and Aria’s threat.
Hansen hugged Jenna who was covered in sweat, feeling very satisfied. The blush on her face was fascinating and under his affectionate touch, the paleness on her face was finally replaced by a crimson shade.
He had enough confidence that his woman would become fair and ravishing under his care, and he could afford everything.
Even when both of them went downstairs for breakfast, they were very affectionate with their fingers interlocked, faces full of contentment and happiness. Even Marissa, who was sitting beside the dining table could feel it.
The melancholy on Marissa’s face became even more evident.
After the meal, Hansen hurried away as a phone call came.
Jenna didn’t dare to face Marissa. Right at that moment, Sabrina came in from outside, pulling Jenna off her seat and left. Jenna was actually begging for it to happen as well, therefore she followed Sabrina and fled away from the scene.
“Sabrina, I haven’t seen you in the past few days. Were you with Norton?” A very serious question came to her mind and she asked Sabrina hurriedly as soon as they got into the car.
Sabrina started blushing as a shy and flustered expression made its way onto her face. As her eyes curved into crescents with her smile, she nodded sheepishly.
Jenna’s heart sank.
Up to this moment, she was affirmative that Sabrina did not know anything about Norton’s crime. Although her father’s case had not been settled yet, it was just a matter of sooner or later. When she asked Jordan a few days ago, he implicitly told her the reason the case had not been closed yet, it was because the man named Leon who knocked over her father and caused his death escaped overseas. Only when everyone was caught and when the evidence was complete could the case be closed. Therefore, Norton would be affected sooner or later and be sanctioned by law.
Seeing how Sabrina seemed innocently in love, Jenna sighed deeply.
What was the purpose of Norton approaching Sabrina? This was what worried her most.
It could never possibly be because of love.
Could someone innocent like Sabrina understand?
Just as Hannah said, once a woman is in love, her IQ would turn zero. What’s more, this was Sabrina’s first love.
Jenna has a deep understanding of Sabrina’s current feeling. When it came to Hansen’s problems, she had no principles at all.
“Sabrina, what do you think of Norton?” she asked carefully, trying to make an innuendo.
“Jenna, Norton is a talented person, he’s not very talkative, and he’s very gentle and elegant. I’ve known him since young and I think he’s great. He is very nice to me as well,” Sabrina replied seriously after thinking for a moment.
“Is it because he spends time with you these days and treats you well that makes you think he’s a good person?” Jenna continued questioning worriedly.
Sabrina tilted her head and squinted her eyes as she thought for a while.
“Not really, he has always been very nice to me. It’s just that his personality is a little depressive and taciturn, but he’s an honest person. In fact, he is not to be blamed since he’s an illegitimate child and was raised outside. If it wasn’t for Grandma who took into account that Auntie wasn’t able to bear children, nobody would know when he would be able to be sent back to Richards Manor. Children who grew up in such an environment would inevitably have a weird personality. I feel pity for him and he’s also quite inferior about it as well.”
Sabrina spoke with regret on her face and her expression was visibly moved as well.
Upon hearing this, Jenna was slightly in a daze. Turned out that everyone’s impression of people was different. She has always disliked Norton, thinking that he was unfathomable, peculiar, and that he acts deviously. However, Sabrina’s impression of him was completely different to hers.
“Seems like he will be a good and responsible man in the future, you will be very happy hereafter,” Jenna sighed inwardly but still jokingly said.
Sabrina’s cheeks turned crimson as she turned her face away without saying anything.
However, Jenna saw a vivid smile on her face.
