Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Rayan, are you sure that my mother would not receive the news by the media?” Thinking of her mother gave her a headache. Fortunately, she took safety measures the night before and asked Rayan for help to bring her mother out of A City to reside in a remote town in Los Angeles for the time being.

If she was still here, she would have fainted upon receiving the news.

“Don’t worry, she is currently in a famous hospital. The director is close to me and would take good care of your mother. She won’t receive any news from A city,” Rayan nodded his head and replied with confidence.

“That’s good. Thank you, Rayan.” Jenna was relieved. She was filled with gratitude. Apart from thanking him, she really had no other way to express her gratitude.

“Silly girl, this is an easy task.” Rayan smiled. “It’s just that you can’t keep it a secret from her forever.”

“Yes, I would eventually tell her once she recovers and the rumors have ceased to spread. She has experienced a lot in her life. I’m sure that she can accept the news,” Jenna responded with a heavy heart.

Rayan nodded as he thought of something.

“Jen, are you troubled by the rumours?” Rayan asked softly.

“No, it does not bother me.” Jenna shook her head and gave a bitter smile. “The media are just being manipulated or they are just eager to discuss the current hottest gossip, there’s nothing to be afraid of. As long as I did nothing wrong, I do not need to be concerned about what they say. The most important thing is to live happily.”

“Are you really happy now?” Rayan inquired as they took a stroll around the garden.

Jenna was startled upon hearing his question. She gave a self-deprecatory laugh and fell silent.

“Jen, do you need me to stop the rumors?” Rayan asked gently, noticing her expression.

He continued walking with an air of confidence.

It was a piece of cake for him to deal with the media.

“No, Rayan. Just let fate take its course,” Jenna shook her head and refused.

“Jen, I know you are suffering. You don’t need to suffer alone, you can rant to me.” They arrived at the beach. The scenery was breathtaking.

They leaned against the railing and gazed at the sea.

A gust of wind greeted them, which comforted Jenna.

“Everyone has to face sorrows at some point in their lives. There is nothing strange about it. No matter what, we must face it and live on,” Jenna said indifferently.

“Are you really going to forgive Norton?” Rayan asked as he pondered upon the matter.

“Yes, I have already written him a letter. I would send it along together with the contract of inheritance to Hansen on the day of his wedding,” Jenna replied without hesitation.

“Silly girl, he killed your father, how can you forgive him so easily?” Rayan shifted his gaze to her face.

With her forgiveness, Norton would receive a lighter sentence. Did she really plan to let the matter slide?

“I believe that he did not do it on purpose. He was manipulated by Brock,” her eyelids drooped as she responded.

Rayan gazed at her. She was so calm.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Jenna answered the call.

“Jenna, where are you?” Hannah’s voice rang.

Jenna sighed. Hannah must have heard the news and was demanding an explanation at this instant.

“Hannah, I’m with Rayan.” Jenna attempted to calm Hannah down by spilling the beans.

“You have decided to leave Richards Group and the scoundrel, am I right?” Hannah kept her frustration in check and asked.

“Yes, this is my choice,” Jenna replied in a low voice.

“But, what about you being pregnant? How can he be so irresponsible?” Hannah’s temper sparked upon receiving the news. How could Jenna be so foolish?

Why did she choose to leave at a time like this?

“Hannah, you can’t blame him, he doesn’t even know that I’m pregnant.” Jenna walked to the side and said in a low voice, “Hannah, please, this is my decision, please don’t worry about it. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your concern.”

She was afraid that Hannah would blow a fuse and tell Hansen everything. If that happened, her efforts would go down the drain.

“You… are crazy!” Hannah gritted her teeth as anger stirred within her. “All right, I won’t intervene in your decisions. Just pretend that I’m dead. However, that scoundrel has lingered in my café since last night. He is so drunk and he refused to leave. He went crazy and smashed a lot of my belongings. How am I to start my business today?”

Hannah was simmering with anger. That d*mn Hansen, he came to her café for no reason and destroyed her stuff when he was drunk. He rarely came in the past. If it wasn’t for Jenna, she would have called the police already.

She sighed. Jenna was her friend. What else could she do?

“What? He did what?” Jenna panicked. “Why would he go to your café?”

Jenna felt it hard to believe as Hansen had never become drunk before.

“Oh please, did you think I would invite him over? He smashed my stuff. It’s no fun at all. You better come and take him away or else, I am going to give him a piece of my mind.” Hannah’s eyes glowed with savage fire. She guessed that something had gone wrong with their relationship when she saw Hansen the night before. Sure enough, she received news regarding Hansen’s marriage in the morning.

She couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

Hansen had everything. He was going to marry soon and he had a child. Everything was perfect. How dare he make a scene at her café once he was drunk? What a scoundrel!

Jenna was the victim but she didn’t even complain despite her situation.

If it wasn’t for Jenna’s sake, Hannah would have taught Hansen a lesson the night before. However, upon receiving news of his marriage in the morning, her patience wore thin.

“Well, Jenna, I don’t care what you plan to do in the future. I can’t interfere with that. However, you must take that scoundrel away from my shop, or I won’t let him off easily.” Hannah was cold with fury. Rage overtook her as she recalled that Jenna had kept her pregnancy a secret from Hansen.

“Hannah, don’t act recklessly. I will call Butler Maud and ask him to take Hansen away right away. He will pay for your loss.” Jenna was a little flustered. Considering Hannah’s temper, she would definitely call the police if she did not act immediately.

“Oh, Mary, you are really kind-hearted. You still care about him despite what he did.” Hannah sniggered.

Jenna sighed. She could only reply, “Hannah, don’t be angry. I’m doing this for your own good. If the media knows about this, it would ruin the reputation of your café. Just bear with it for a while, I will make it up to you soon.”

Hannah sighed as she shifted her gaze to the sky.

She wanted to retort that some scandal would only attract more customers and improve her business. As long as she could get revenge on that scoundrel, nothing mattered. However, she stopped herself and said exasperatingly, “Fine. Just get him away quickly.”

Hannah ended the call and glanced at Hansen who was fast asleep at the coffee table. What was so good about him? She had to admit that he did have good looks and was quite capable but that was about all. Why was he so fortunate to meet someone like Jenna?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Hannah was indeed indignant.

Jenna quickly made a call to Richards Manor and found Butler Maud. After giving him the address, Butler Maud brought some people along as they headed to Gently Cafeteria.

Hansen was tormented by nightmares. His body felt sore and it ached terribly. Upon awakening, he found himself on his bed at home. The sunlight was streaming through the window, blinding him.

How did he arrive home?

He remembered that right before he fell into a slumber, he was wandering on the streets, looking desperately for Jenna.

She couldn’t be with Rayan. She couldn’t be with any other men. That was his only thought as he wandered around. She belonged to him. Nobody could snatch her away. How could she be with someone else? It would drive him crazy.

After that, he lost consciousness.

His fist was clenched tightly and he seemed to be holding something sharp as he felt a stinging sensation in his hand.

In his palm was a seashell covered in blood.

“Jenna.” He felt a stab in his heart and he clenched his fists again. Without hesitation, he stood up abruptly and dashed towards the second floor.

This was the same seashell he stopped Jenna from taking away the day before. He suffered a nosebleed and wiped the blood away with his hand, thus staining the seashell with blood. He did not release his grip on the seashell even after he got drunk.

He recalled himself going to Gently Cafeteria before he fell asleep. His heart skipped a beat as a thought crossed his mind. Jenna! Yes, Jenna must have brought him home.
