"Let's eat, it's late already," Jenna said anxiously, avoiding the topic. She walked towards the dining hall.
Zoey's crisp laughter and coquettish voice came from behind.
"Hansen, let's leave early after breakfast."
"Okay, baby," Hansen responded gently.
Jenna did not need to have a pair of eyes on her back in order to know that it was an extremely intimate scene. She just wanted to escape. She really didn't want to look at their affectionate scene that would drive her crazy.
The sun was shining outside. The spring breeze was blowing, and the weather was just right. It was neither hot nor cold. Jenna wore a light green dress for such weather.
Zoey dragged Hansen's hand with excitement while Jenna quietly followed behind. She tried to walk inconspicuously so that she could stay as far as possible from them.
It was a short drive from the villa to reach the numerous dining and entertainment facilities in Arcadia city. It was where the most prosperous street in the city was also located.
Zoey was in high spirits and she wanted to look everywhere. Hansen seemed to be in a very good mood too. He was also exceptionally patient with her. They talked and laughed happily along the way. No matter what Zoey wanted, Hansen would fulfill all her wishes. His pampering of her was beyond Jenna's imagination.
Jenna was forced to follow behind, trying to avoid their intimacy. When she was asked to give her opinions, she would give a few pertinent comments and keep quiet for the rest of the time.
She and Hansen had almost nothing to say. She was deliberately staying away from him. Although she felt sad in her heart, she tried her best to be indifferent with her expression.
Every time Zoey was fond of an outfit, he would order the staff to get it wrapped up, and then he would give it to Jenna to carry. Gradually, Jenna's hands were full with all sizes of bags.
When Hansen was by Zoey's side, he would speak softly but when he was speaking to Jenna, his expression would be cold and blunt. It seemed like he was still angry with her, or he was totally dissatisfied with her.
Since the conversation that night, he had been treating her with this attitude.
The warmth that he had for her before had disappeared, as if he had never known her.
Jenna thought of their intimacy before this, but now they were like strangers and her heart would throb in pain. Furthermore, the moment she saw Zoey smiling happily, she would feel inferior to her and feel that she had no right to feel sad because of this.
The news of Green Lake Mountain was being shown on a large TV screen in a store. Throughout the day, they saw similar news at different places too.
Jenna heard that many customers were commenting on the sea monster in Green Mountain Lake. Some people showed no interest at all while some expressed curiosity; there were even some who were interested in Green Mountain Lake and expressed their desire to travel there in order to take a look.
Jenna pondered the matter and thought that regardless of whether the news was true or false, its benefits had outweighed the disadvantages. It was indeed good news for Green Mountain Lake.
Sure enough, Jenna turned on her mobile phone and realized that Richards Group's share price had gone up a few percent.
She looked at Hansen. He was talking and laughing with Zoey and showed no interest in the news at all. Jenna believed that he heard the news, but he was not reacting to it.
The things in her hands felt heavier and heavier. Jenna thought of her mother's illness as well as Dr. Maxson. All the irritating problems overwhelmed her and she felt annoyed at the moment.
She did not have much interest in shopping, not to mention seeing Hansen and his little Zoey being so intimate all the time. The uncomfortable feeling in her heart was getting more intense.
When passing by a health care product store, she saw a patient rehabilitation machine and bought it. However, because the rehabilitation machine was a bit heavy, she wanted to hand the bags in her hands to Hansen. She turned her head and saw that Zoey was standing still in one spot. She was obviously tired of walking and was making Hansen carry her on his back.
The moment she turned her head, her tears almost flowed down.
All the hardships that she had experienced came to her mind. In those years, she was alone and had no money. She had washed dishes in restaurants on this street and even worked as a waitress too. She was willing to do anything just to make money.
Her husband, that man, was still a rich businessman on the Forbes list. Who would believe that she had gone through such hardships?
She was back in that place. She was still the one abandoned by the man and was even forced to see her ex-husband hug another woman. Who was he to do that? Why was he doing this?
She couldn't bear it anymore. No matter how beautiful and innocent Zoey was, and how dazzling she looked, Jenna didn't like her at all. Why did she pretend not to care and follow them out with a sorrowful look and suffer all their intimate scenes?
She was also a human being. She had her dignity too.
She immediately walked a few steps closer, threw the bags in front of them, and said angrily, "I'm sorry, you can carry these yourself. I need to carry something that I have just bought."
All the bags in her hands were piled up in front of them. Jenna turned around and left decisively. "Tsk tsk, she is angry." Zoey was still on Hansen's back when she saw Jenna coming. Just as Jenna turned around, she saw the redness in her eyes and the tears in them. Although she forced herself not to cry, the expression on her face was already very ugly.
"Leave her alone," Hansen glanced at her back with a deep gaze, and said indifferently.
"Hansen, are you really willing to make her sad?" Zoey said softly in Hansen's ear with her big innocent eyes staring at him. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Are you sure she is sad?" Hansen didn't believe it.
"Of course," Zoey blinked and confidently said. "I am sure about this. Based on my instinct as a woman, she must be jealous or disappointed in you."
Saying this, with a face full of worry, she quietly said to Hansen, "Hansen, are we crossing the line by doing this? It's obvious that she actually cares about you very much. She loves you. I am not wrong."
Although Zoey's voice was very soft and low, her tone was very positive.
Hansen had an unbelievable expression and he asked seriously, "Are you sure she cares about me, loves me, and is jealous of you?"
Zoey laughed at the confusion on Hansen's face. She pursed her lips and chuckled. "It seems like you are not much better than her. You are also a boring man who does not express your feelings. You two only know how to keep your feelings inside. You're really boring, Hansen. I didn't expect a man like you to be this unpretentious too. It seems like my sister- in-law will have to suffer more."
After speaking, she let out a big sigh and chuckled playfully.
Hansen stared at Jenna's back thoughtfully. He saw Jenna carry an item from the health care product store. It seemed to be a little heavy. The item looked a little heavy in her hands, and she was struggling. However, she just looked to one side stubbornly without even looking at them and walked forward; she didn't even look back.
Over the past two days, from beginning till the end, her expression was indifferent, as if she didn't care about anything. She didn't care about him at all.
The thoughts were written in his gaze. Zoey's words had reminded him.
Woman, you're so stubborn!
There was an imperceptible smile across his face, and his gaze became mysterious.
She was the woman whom he cared about but until now, he couldn't even see her heart clearly. He was still wondering if she cared about him, liked him or loved him.
Although the relationship between them was no longer shallow, it seemed that something was always missing.
Had she ever loved him? He was a man, the dignified Mr. Richards. If he couldn't even figure out if the woman he cared about loved him or needed him or not, wouldn't it be shameful? If he couldn't figure it out, what should he do next?
She was always quiet and gentle. Her expression had always been indifferent no matter who she was dealing with. He couldn't tell anything based on her expression. If he wanted her body, she would just give it to him and would not refuse.
However, when he left her, he never saw her miss him. She did not even bother to call him.
This made him very uneasy.
What worried him the most was that her father had died, and she was hiding the truth from him; she even suspected that he killed her father. Moreover, her purpose in working for Richards Group was not to love him at all; she might even have a conspiracy against the company. Even though she was staying at Richards Manor, she was reluctant to do so. She did it because of her father's death.
As long as Hansen was willing, a lot of women like Aria would come to him and pester him. It was not difficult for him to get the love of women. He was not willing to continue to pester a woman who did not love him at all.
Hearing that she had fainted, he hurried over. However, her expression did not look joyful at all. She was shocked instead, as if he should not have come at all.
However, she smiled so brightly at Rayan. She was also sometimes mad at Rayan, yet she was always indifferent towards Hansen.
This time, although Hansen still couldn't figure out her mind, their relationship could no longer go on. If he only needed her body, he wouldn't have made such an effort. Now, he cared about her and hoped to get her heart, or even more.
"Little girl, don't cause trouble. If you don't help me now, I'll tell Uncle that you are not studying hard here so that they will cut off your pocket money," Hansen squeezed her face with his hand and said with a smile.
Hansen really liked this cousin whom he had been caring for since he was a child. Since childhood, he had liked this little cousin the most. Marissa used to bring her to Richards Manor for a short stay every year. She liked following Hansen around as well. Hansen also took good care of her and fulfilled all her wishes.
However, Hansen had always regarded her as his biological sister. He had no other special feelings for her.
"Hansen, you're so bad." Zoey stared at him, a faint reddish spot appeared on her face where Hansen had pinched her face. She was really good-looking, but her expression looked like she was about to tear Hansen apart.
Hansen burst into laughter. "Girl, you're already twenty years old but you're still so capricious. You might not get a boyfriend at all with this naughty personality."
"If I can't get a boyfriend, then you will marry me. That's what you told me when I was a kid," Zoey said with her mouth pursed and her cheeks puffed. When she was a child, the two of them often played together. She had always admired this talented cousin of hers since they were young.
