Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Are you alright, Jen?” Rayan could tell that she was embarrassed. He sighed in his heart. He already told this silly woman that she should have hired a stylist to help with her outfit for an occasion like this, but she wouldn’t listen, and now she was embarrassed.

Aria’s dress was meticulously designed and planned. Rayan was never interested in women’s beauty that relied on makeup and pretty outfits. In fact, he despised them the more he saw them. But during an occasion like this, he had no choice as all women would dress up like this, except the silly woman in front of him of course.

“I’m fine.” Jenna replied lightly as she smiled with her bare but relaxed face. She never enjoyed such vanity, so it never really affected her. She strongly believed that a woman’s beauty didn’t have to be displayed in such a way, and she was very confident in her own beauty.

“Jenna.” Sabrina walked over to comfort her as well. Aria grabbed everyone’s attention when she arrived, and Sabrina felt uncomfortable too. She was even more worried about Jenna. After all, she was pregnant, and she was afraid she could not take it.

She didn’t believe that the child in Jenna’s belly belonged to another man at all. As a woman, she could tell that Jenna truly loved Hansen.

“Look at her arrogant look. She’s so shallow. It’s disgusting to look at,” Sabrina said with great disdain.

Upon hearing this, Jenna raised her bright eyes and looked at Sabrina.

She was wearing a plain, pink dress that day, with a very simple design, but it wrapped her body nicely and highlighted her curvy figure. She did not do her up or braid it, but instead let it drape on her back naturally.  With her playful smile, she had a youthful aura accompanied by her immense beauty.

“Tsk tsk, you’re the prettiest. I love your style.” Jenna joked as she looked at her with a little laugh.

Sabrina blushed and smiled playfully at Jenna, revealing two cute dimples on her cheeks. Her face was blushing like a young lady. She was gorgeous.

“Jenna, I told you that you should’ve changed into a prettier dress, but you didn’t listen to me. Now she’s taken all the attention away from you, and Hansen probably won’t bother talking to you as well,” she said grudgingly as she pouted.

Jenna laughed at her words, pursed her lips and said, “Sabrina, you and I are only the hosts of the banquet today, not the important guests, nor the Richards family members. Our responsibility is to run the banquet well, not to put Richards Manor to shame, and to make sure that the guests are satisfied. Other than these, nothing else matters, do you understand?”

Sabrina couldn’t say anything, so she blinked, smiled and said, “I understand.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s great. Why don’t you lead these guests to the lounge?” Jenna used her eyes to gesture at Aria and her family, who were being photographed by the reporters, and asked Sabrina for help.

Sabrina understood Jenna’s predicament, so she agreed.

After a while, the media reporters finally dispersed, and Aria and the others walked towards the right side.

“Hansen.” In a glance, Aria saw Hansen standing calmly at the right side, and hurriedly walked over to take his arm, with a very affectionate expression.

The reporters who had just dispersed immediately gathered around them again, and started asking them questions while taking pictures.

“Mr. Richards, I’ve heard that the two of you are getting married soon, and the news is even published in the newspaper. It mustn’t be fake this time right?” a reporter asked jokingly.

“Of course. We have set the date on the eighth of this month, only one week from now.” He did not answer, but Aria answered earnestly instead. Hansen furrowed his eyebrows a little, but then quickly displayed a bright smile on his face.

“Congratulations to the two of you. The both of you are a match made in heaven, I’m envious,” the reporter exclaimed.

“Yes, I’ve heard that you’re already pregnant too. I wonder if it’s true,” another reporter asked.

Aria posed for the camera as she answered, “I’ll not answer this, leave us some personal space.”

With a shy expression, she leaned her head against Hansen’s shoulder. It was obvious that she had admitted it without saying it directly.

“That’s double the good news. Congratulations, Mr. Richards.” the reporters wished them.

“Mayor McAdams, Miss McAdams, please follow me to the reception room.” Sabrina walked up to Earl and Aria, who were standing aside, and said politely. She was getting annoyed as she heard Aria answering the reporters.

“Alright.” Earl also felt that their limelight was overwhelming, so he simply nodded, and was about to follow Sabrina in.

“Dad, Mom, please follow Sabrina. I should be here with Hansen and Mom to welcome the guests.” The minute Aria entered the Ink Garden, she saw Jenna helping Hansen wear his corsage, and Hansen looked at Jenna the whole time. The two of them were so focused on each other that they didn’t realize Aria was walking towards them. They looked so close that the jealousy in Aria’s heart exploded. They were about to get married soon, how could she give such a good chance to Jenna? Besides, the owners of the house should welcome the guests, so she should stand together with Hansen to welcome the guests.

“Miss McAdams, technically speaking, you haven’t officially married Hansen, so you can’t stand here to welcome guests for the time being,” Sabrina said as she looked at Aria hatefully. She didn’t want to welcome guests with her.

“Mom, Hansen, do you think I could stand out here?” Aria asked the two people beside her as she heard Sabrina retort her and felt embarrassed.

“Sabrina, how about you take Mayor McAdams and the others in first. Aria and Hansen are about to get married soon. Just let her stand here.” Marissa immediately came to Aria’s defense the minute she heard her call.

“Yes, Aria should stand here with me.” Hansen glanced at Rayan who was standing beside Jenna, and spoke lightly with his icy glare.

In a flash, Sabrina’s face darkened.

Aria, on the other hand, had a big bright smile on her face, and was extremely happy.

Earl was satisfied with Hansen’s words, while Georgia showed a triumphant smile, and Marissa also smiled widely.

Sabrina had no choice but to bring Earl and his wife inside.

“Aria, take care of your body. What happened last time should never happen again. Take good care of her, Hansen. She’s pregnant.” Georgia said with worry. Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Jenna.

“Don’t worry, Mom, I will.” Aria smiled sweetly.

Hansen nodded too.

“Remember to come and rest immediately if you feel unwell.” Even when she was a few steps away, Georgia still turned around and said loudly, as if she wanted the whole world to know about it.

Jenna kept a smile on her face the whole time. When Earl and Georgia passed by her, she could clearly feel the threat from their eyes, but this didn’t make her feel disheartened at all. Instead, she felt as if a knife was slicing through her heart when she saw Hansen smile and take Aria’s hand.

Losing him made her heartbroken.

She already knew that the impact he had left on her was too great, and that she would never be able to forget him. That moment, she could feel how true it was.

She bit her lip and pinched the ring in the pocket of her coat. She had the urge to throw it away, but she resisted it.

No, she must not show any pain at this time.

The light in her eyes could be impure, arrogant, or indifferent, but it must not be painful, and it must not be seen by anyone, especially Hansen.

He never belonged to you, so why go through the suffering? She thought. This day was bound to come.

Touching her belly with her hands, a sense of responsibility replaced the feeling of pain in her heart.

Waves of guests began to arrive.

“Jen, let’s go inside. They don’t need you here,” Rayan said as he saw Hansen holding Aria’s hand while greeting the guests, and did not look at Jenna at all. He was worried that Jenna would be depressed.

Jenna looked around and realized that she didn’t have much to do there, so she smiled and nodded her head.

The two of them turned around and were about to walk inside.

“Jenna.” Hannah Adames’ voice could be heard from a distance. Jenna turned around in surprise, and saw Hannah in a grand outfit walking towards her. She couldn’t help but to feel happy.

She almost forgot that she had invited Hannah Adames.

Hannah was dressed elegantly and looked dignified. Her plain yet stylish dress made her stand out among the crowd. She held her head up high, and didn’t even bother looking at Hansen and Aria as she passed by them. She directly greeted Jenna and walked up to her.

“Hannah, you’re finally here. I was just about to go in.” She smiled and took her hand fondly.

“You don’t think about me normally, but you called me up for an occasion like this. Are you expecting me to speak up for you?” Hannah asked seriously, glancing at Hansen and Aria, who were standing close together.

“Hannah, please don’t cause anymore problems, please.” Jenna had a headache when she heard her saying this. “I just want to thank you and repay you for taking care of me.”

Hannah snorted coldly, scoffed at the couple, and then shook her head.

“Jenna.” While Jenna and Hannah were talking and laughing, two girls ran towards them. Jenna looked up and was even more surprised. The cheerful girl standing in front of her was dressed in casual clothing, and looked young and sweet, lively and adorable. She couldn’t help but to exclaim, “Zoey.”

“Jenna, do you remember me?” Zoey came over and gave her a hug. With her big and harmless eyes, she asked innocently, “Jenna, you don’t hate me, do you?”

Jenna was startled for a while, but returned to her senses very soon. A burst of sorrow rose up in her heart, and she forced a smile. “What are you saying, Zoey? How could I ever hate you, that’s impossible.”
