Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)
Chapter 365

"Mom, it's late. You'd better go to bed." Jenna really did not want to discuss that topic anymore. Hence, she tried to persuade her gently.

"Jenna, I think Sergio is a great person. I can also tell he's very interested in you." Sara brought it up again.

What?!

As soon as those words came out, Jenna almost choked.

Why would a man like Sergio be interested in a woman like her?

How could she have such a thought? That's too ridiculous!

"Mom, are you tired of staying at home all day? You're imagining things. Let Aunt Lee take you out for a walk tomorrow," retorted Jenna. She was exhausted as she headed to the bathroom, ready to wash up and hit the sack.

"Come back here!" Sara raised her voice sternly. Jenna's nonchalant attitude really infuriated her.

Jenna stopped in her tracks. She turned around with confusion written all over her face.

"Mom, what's with you?"

"Listen to me very carefully. About what I said earlier, I wasn't joking. I meant it. You have to properly consider giving Sergio a chance. The Xanthe family is now an important family in both the military and political circles. Their family and personal conditions are not inferior to that of Hansen. This is an opportunity. You must not put all of your focus on Hansen," Sara said word by word, very clearly and confidently Jenna shook her head before she began to explain helplessly.

"Mom, you're thinking too much. Who is Sergio and who am I? It's impossible in every aspect. I've never even thought about this. Please don't think about it anymore, or else you'll become a laughing stock." Jenna really didn't know how to react to Sara's claims.

She was a divorced woman, a single mother with a child, but Sergio? He was the exemplar son of a high-ranking official in Capital City. Although he did not behave like a self-absorbed bachelor, his status was irrefutable. Some even claimed that his father, Yadriel, will be the next governor of Capital City. Why would someone in such a high position be interested in her?

"Ah, Mom must be too anxious. Still, if her misunderstanding continues, she'll definitely

make a fool of herself."

She sighed at the thought. Her mind was in turmoil. She stood rooted to the spot, feeling an unspeakable pain.

Bailey stood by silently. She had already known everything when she was in A City. On top of that, she had also told Sara the entire situation. To her surprise, instead of being moved by Hansen's love, Sara stil opposed Jenna's and Hansen's second marriage.

In fact, at that point, Aunt Lee's impression of Hansen had changed completely. She also felt that a man like Hansen could be entrusted with one's life. However, Jenna's past experience had terrified Sara to the point where she dared not let her daughter marry into a wealthy and powerful family again.

She somewhat felt that it was not right, but she couldn't say much as it was her employer's opinion.

"Mom, it's already very late. Let's get some rest and talk about these things some other time." It was tough for Jenna to persuade Sara. Plus, it was not a good time to talk about those things. After all, Sara had shed so many tears over what Jenna had experienced. So, Jenna really couldn't bear to argue with her.

Besides, in Jenna's opinion, what Sara thought and felt about Sergio was the consequence of her own wishful thinking. Once she realised how eligible he was, she immediately thought of her own daughter. It was natural for a mother to do so.

Sergio, however, was not a fool. Why would he be interested in a woman who had a child? She did not take it seriously. After saying those words to Sara, she started walking away.

"Jenna, do not take it lightly. I'm telling you, Sergio is indeed interested in you. Back then, Sergio's father came to propose a marriage. It's a pity that your father turned it down. Look at what had happened. If we hadn't betrothed you to Hansen then, would it come to this?" Sara spoke once again, sincerely and earnestly, while staring after her.

Jenna remained silent. "The marriage proposal back then?" She thought and smiled bitterly.

What had happened in the past was a totally different and unrelated event to what was going on at the moment. How could they be brought up as if they were the same?

She walked into the bathroom silently.

After washing up, she lay in bed, thoughts running through her mind. She was very tired, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Sara's words kept ringing in her ears.

Having already gone through more than enough, she was reluctant to choose any of her options. When she had finally settled down, everything seemed to be disrupted by the appearance of Hansen. She turned over in her bed. Just when the name 'Hansen' came to mind, another thought flashed by. Her eyes shot open as she sprung up in her bed.

Sh*t. Earlier that day, at Hansen's house, he clearly asked her to go to his place at night.

However, when Sergio showed up, it completely slipped her mind.

"What should I do?"

Still figuring out what to do, she looked up at the clock in the room. It was nearly eleven o'clock. "Has he fallen asleep?"

Meanwhile, Hansen sat in the study, dealing with some business on his computer. He stood up, walked around, made a cup of tea, and sat on the sofa while waiting for Jenna's arrival.

He had no idea if the woman was done for the day. He took out his phone to look at the time. It was already ten o'clock. "She should be here any minute now." He thought.

Thinking about how she would be in his room very soon, and then he could...

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth curled up.

However, after he finished drinking a cup of tea, he still didn't see her. He couldn't help but to feel anxious.

He walked back to the computer. As soon as he turned his computer on, an email popped up. For the past few days, he hadn't turned the computer on. Hence, his mailbox was flooded with emails. The email he had just received was sent by someone named Reeva. He glanced at it, before gently clicking on the mouse with his slender fingers.

It turned out to be an email from the marketing manager, Reeva Peters.

Initially, Reeva had been promoted to the marketing manager role by Jenna. However, due to the rapid expansion of the market and since their company was about to start a new business in Switzerland, Hansen had temporarily appointed her to be the manager at the Switzerland branch as she was really capable.

Apart from work-related matters, there was a car model design attached at the end of the email sent by Reeva. To summarize the contents of the email simply, someone was selling a batch of car model designs of which she regarded very highly. That was because it met the market requirements, especially the international production needs. However, while she wanted to purchase them, the other party had charged a high price. Hence, she came to ask for his opinion.

Hansen looked at the car design template, and his eyes lit up. Not bad, indeed.

What the Richards Group needed were products that could make their way to the whole world. Therefore, it was more than he could wish for.

He immediately sent her an email with four words, "Tell me the details."

Then, he launched the Facebook app.

Reeva sent a message right away.

"Mr. Richards, this person goes by the name of Jen. I reckon she is a professional car designer. She has a batch of model designs in hand and is currently selling it. I took a look at it and think it is great. It meets the market's expectations. I also have the intention of recommending some to you. However, the offer price is too high, so I came to you for instructions."

Hansen's brows furrowed together. He typed his response, "Who is that car designer? Where is that

person from?"

Reeva replied immediately, "Mr. Richards, it's not clear what this person does. All I know is that this person has a batch of car model designs in hand, and is looking for buyers. If I'm not mistaken, this person is a professional. The designs are very unique. Also, this person is quite taciturn. Nothing much was said, only the price was stated. I was told to 'buy it or forget it."

"Is that so?" A smile tugged at Hansen's thin lips. That designer was truly conceited, he thought.

"Hire that person with a high salary if it's a talented person." He returned a response.

Reeva replied in an instant. "Mr. Richards, I'm afraid this won't happen. Previously, I offered a job but that person was not interested at all, and was only willing to work online, selling designs from time to time." What an arrogant person. Hansen was displeased as he thought, "Not willing to work at Richards Group even with a high salary? Which country is this arrogant person from?"

"Which country is that person from?" He typed out and sent the email. He then took the glass on the table and sipped some water while his eyes continued staring at the computer screen.

After a while, Reeva sent him a few words, probably after checking the IP address. "Strange... That person is from our country. The IP address shows a place called Wullen Town." Once Hansen finished reading, he almost spat out the water he had just drank. After a deep breath, he swallowed it.

As a result, he choked on the water and started coughing violently. Not sure if it was due to the excitement or the cough, his face was flushed.

Wullen Town. "Which is where I am now!" he exclaimed.

The person selling the designs was actually in Wullen Town. Also, those designs were state-of-the-art designs. That person had to be a professional. Who could such a person be? Hansen knew the answer without even thinking about it.

He immediately instructed Reeva. "Miss Peters, no matter the price, buy them all at once."

His orders stunned Reeva for a second. Nevertheless, she quickly responded happily. "Yes, Mr. Richards."

Soon after, Hansen logged off and stood up. His eyes darkened.

"D*mn woman, are you short of money? That you even had to sell your designs online?"

Did she not take some money with her when she snuck out that year? Then again, giving birth to Jerry, donating money to the school, treating Sara's illness... She must have spent quite a lot.

Jerry was his son. If she was short of money, his son would be the one suffering. That woman too, he would not let her suffer even a bit. Forget the money for the designs. If she were to ask for money, he would give it to her right away.

However, she was a strong woman. She would not accept any sort of charity.

Other than the fifty million dollars she asked for after her father's accident, she never mentioned the word 'money' in front of him again.

In all fairness, with her status and her designs, it would be worth it, no matter how high the price was.

After dealing with that matter, it was already late at night. He looked at the clock to see that it was nearly eleven o'clock. Unlike in A City, it was already in the dead of the night, in the small town of Wullen. "Why hasn't she come over yet?"

"Didn't I tell her to come over tonight?"

"Is she being disobedient again? Had she stood me up?"

At those thoughts, he felt more anxious. He got up, opened the window, and looked out.

It was pitch black outside and no footsteps could be heard.

"It's already so late. She's most probably not coming."

"D*mn woman, how dare you disobey me? Just you wait and see how I'll punish you."

Hansen felt desolate, but thinking that she did all those designing while looking after Jerry, he couldn't bear to blame her. Still, she was disobedient and did not come over, making his heart ache. How much he wanted to hold her in his arms all night long!

Frustration filled his heart.

His woman and child were so close, yet so far. How sad it was.

He paced in the room anxiously, his thoughts racing.

Suddenly, there were soft footsteps coming from the outside.

Delighted, Hansen hurriedly perked up his ears.

"Yes, someone is coming." He confirmed. The footsteps were very light, but they could still be heard in the dead of the night.

It was obvious that the footsteps were light on purpose. Gently, they stepped into his heart,

easing and softening it instantly while his body buzzed excitedly.
