Getting My Ex-wife Back

Spring had arrived in Wullen Town in Jenova City. The town was filled with flowers, spring rain, gondolas, white walls, and stone bridges. It was as beautiful as a dream.

In a small alley, on the stone steps, a graceful figure was holding a red umbrella and moving rapidly forwards in the rain. The people in the Jenova City were conversing with each other, and the rain was flowing down along the tiles. It was a portrait of human warmth and serenity.

However, she was in a hurry and in no mood to drink in the beautiful scenery. When she passed by an old man’s stall, she turned her head and saw that the old man was carefully spinning cotton candy. That wonderful smell put a smile on her face. She reached in her pocket to take out some money, bought two cotton candies, and held them in her hand. Then, she strode forwards quickly.

In front of her was a place with a picturesque scenery. The courtyard was so thick that various flowers were planted all around it, and the pinkish red wall made the room look as if a painting had come alive.

She stopped in front of the iron gate of the courtyard, took out the key and unlocked the fence. Walking gently along the stone steps of the courtyard, she put away the umbrella.

“Mom, I’m back. Did Jerry behave well today?” Before she even entered the house, her sweet and clear voice rang out, underlined with a sense of happiness and bliss.

“Jenna, you’re back early today.” Sara smiled when she heard Jenna’s voice.

“Well, I came back early today since the class schedule is not too packed.” Jenna didn’t have time to take off her wet coat before she walked inside.

The house with three bedrooms and two living rooms was clean and tidy, and the windows were bright and clean, which was very comfortable.

The little fellow in the room was sitting on the bed, struggling to pry open the car toy in his hands, without any methodical thought put behind it. His pinkish face giggled from time to time. Seeing Jenna coming in, he, who couldn’t speak well yet, raised his pink little face and smiled at her, muttering ‘mom’ with his mouth. Immediately, he threw away the toy in his hand and stretched out to her, shouting eagerly, “Hug me, hug me.”

Jenna’s face was beaming with happiness. She put down the things in her hands and extended out her hands to hug him. She kissed him hard on his tiny face and tickled him lightly, making him giggle.

Jerry was extremely happy in Jenna’s familiar and intimate embrace and wiggled restlessly. Jenna held him and sat down on the bed. The mother and son were having fun.

After a long while, she finally placed Jerry in the middle of the bed. She stood up, took out the bag of cotton candy, nipped a small portion of it and placed it into Jerry’s mouth.

Jerry began to chew on the cotton candy. Perhaps unfamiliar with the texture, he spat it out after a while and made an ‘eww’ expression.

Jenna knew that he was going to pretend to be stubborn and demand breast milk again, but she would not relent this time. She just took a bottle of milk and gave it to him.

Jerry pursed his lips and gulped down the milk reluctantly. Then, he picked up the car on the bed and started playing on his own.

Sara walked in with a cane.

“Mom, please sit down.” Jenna helped Sara sit down beside the bed, unzipped her shorts, and said distressingly, “This prosthetic has been operating for so long that your legs are turning red. You’d better walk less. Next time, let’s use the wheelchair.”

Sara’s heart ached when she heard this. She held Jenna’s hand and said bitterly, “My dear, thanks for your hard work. Now that you’ve finally settled down, don’t worry about me. Just rest more. You’ve been put under a lot of stress over the past year.”

She touched her hand, but there was a lingering sorrow in the depths of her eyes.

Her daughter Jenna was still young, and it was no simple thing to raise a child. Thinking about it like this, a deep sorrow washed over her. She had lost her two legs, and not only was she unable to take care of her, but she would also be a burden to her. Whenever she thought of this, she would find it hard to fall asleep at night. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

In this life, even if she had suffered all kinds of hardships, she would have no complaints. Even when her husband had been framed, she could face it head on with confidence, but Jenna’s happiness was what she cared most about.

“Mom, haven’t we settled down now? Look how nice this house is. It’s a wonderful place in Jenova City and it’s a good place to live. In the future, we will live here happily, with just the three of us,” Jenna said affectionately, holding Sara’s shoulder, and comforted her like the child that she had been. Sara knew that she couldn’t convince her daughter otherwise, so now she could only give in to her request.

“Mom, sit down and stay with Jerry. I’m going to cook.” Jenna was talking with Sara for a while before noticing that it was getting late. She then got up to cook.

Today, she had bought a few side dishes and was ready to make a good meal.

Engrossed in her cooking, there were also traces of happiness and peace on her face.

It had been a month since she had arrived in this town. From looking around for this house on the market to buying it subsequently, to discussing the price with the house owner, and finally moving into the house, it had taken her almost half a month. Alas, the dust had settled.

Now she was calm and happy. At least she had a mother who loved her and her child. These were real and this rich family affection made her very satisfied.

Aunt Lee went back to A City to do something, but after a while, she would come back and live with them.

She was ready to live out the rest of her life in this town in Jenova City.

The environment here was beautiful and romantic, it fulfilled every one of her preferences of an ideal place to live. She thought it was comfortable enough to live in such a land known for its rivers and lakes.

However, Sara didn’t share her sentiment. She would often get worried and anxious.

For a woman, such a life was not complete enough. After all, Jenna was still young. How could she not find a man? For Sara, after so many life and death experiences, nothing would surprise her anymore. As long as her loved ones were next to her, she would be happy. Nevertheless, the same could not be said for Jenna.

“Mom, Jerry, it’s time to eat.” After finishing cooking, Jenna placed the dishes on the table and walked out of the room with Jerry in her arms and Sara beside her.

Jerry was already one year old with two tiny teeth. He could only eat porridge and drink some soup. He still had to drink milk most of the time, though. Jenna had already tried to get him to wean him off from milk, but this guy was always unwilling. He had been wreaking havoc recently.

Moreover, he was deliberately making fun of her. He would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Sure enough, when they were eating, the little fellow got bored of the porridge and was unwilling to eat anymore. No matter how she fed him, he would not open his mouth. When she finally managed to put some food into his mouth, he puked everything all over his body.

Jenna was angry and amused at the same time. Looking at his mischievous look, she felt that he was more like a certain someone. She felt a little emotional in her heart.

Jerry’s facial features were very similar to his father, almost as if he was made out of the same mold. Even his little tantrums were similar. It was true that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

Jenna finally had a firsthand experience of the essence behind such words.

She shook her head, caressing Jerry’s head with both love and hate. In the end, she had no choice but to set him down on the small chair and make him some milk and puree.

Jerry, on the other hand, didn’t give up wanting his mother’s milk after he had finished drinking the powdered milk. He put on a cute face and cried out, then rolled on the ground. He had used every trick in the book.

Seeing that he was crying like a little cat, Jenna’s heart ached for him.

Hugging him, she had to remove her clothes and feed him breast milk. The little guy finally got what he wanted. After drinking his mother’s milk, he soon fell asleep with satisfaction.

The sweet expression of him sleeping with a satisfied smile was really cute. Jenna lowered her head and couldn’t help kissing his little face.

Jerry was very beautiful. Not only did his facial features resemble that of Hansen’s, even his frown was also similar to his. Jenna placed him under the blanket and tucked him in. She stared at his sleeping face in a daze.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Whenever it was late into the night, she would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at Jerry in a daze after feeding him. Jerry’s face would always make her think of him.

The man whom she once loved deeply was now buried deep within her heart. He was the one who left a mark on her and the one she would never be able to forget for the rest of her life. However, now she was slowly learning to forget him.

Her life should be wonderful, shouldn’t it?

She wanted to start a new life, getting rid of those things that did not belong to her, and believed that she could live a very good life.

“Jenna, the dishes are getting cold now. Come and eat.” Sara’s heart ached for her daughter as she hurriedly called out to her.

Jenna stood up and quietly walked to the dining room before she picked up her utensils.

After the mother and daughter finished their meal, Jenna cleaned up the dishes and hid in the study.

Sara couldn’t fall asleep with a lot of things weighing on her mind.

She walked into the study with a cane.

“Mom, aren’t you going to sleep?” Jenna saw Sara coming in and hurriedly helped her to sit down.

“I’m old and I can’t fall asleep, but you should rest early. Children that are trying to quit milk would be very noisy at night. You should go to bed early. Don’t get overconfident because of your young age and pay more attention to your health,” Sara said with concern after she sat down.

“Mom, I know. Don’t worry.” Jenna took Sara’s hand and smiled sweetly.

Sara sighed and shook her head, “Jenna, although I’m saying that you’re still young, you would be 28 years old this year. A woman at this age living like this, how could a mother like me not worry? Even when I’m dead, I would not rest in peace.”

Despondent at her own words, tears trickled down Sara’s eyes.

“Mom, I’m fine now, aren’t I?” Jenna was most afraid to see Sara’s tears, so she comforted her, feeling unsettled.

“Yes, you’re doing well now, but how much time do you have before you become old like me? Are you really planning to raise Jerry for the rest of your life?” Sara’s tears flowed even more frantically.

Jenna lowered her head and said, “Mom, I didn’t think too much about this, but I know that I have to raise Jerry well, and that would be enough.”

“However, have you ever thought about this? Jerry might not be happy living with you like this. He should be the Young Master of a rich family, yet he had to live a poor life with you. It’s unfair to him.” The sorrow in Sara’s eyes was so raw that it made Jenna’s heart tremble.

“Mom, living with me in this place that no one knows about is not necessarily a bad thing. If I gave him to the Richards family, Aria’s vicious heart would never take him in. Plus, I can never become Hansen’s mistress. The child is mine, and that’s enough. As for marriage, we’ll just have to wait and see.” Jenna grabbed Sara’s hand and patiently explained. In fact, she had already dispensed the same explanation multiple times.

It was just that even though Sara understood the reasoning, she still couldn’t get rid of her sorrow.
