"Octavia, has Hansen come back from Wullen Town yet?" Zoella asked in a casual manner, the corners of her mouth tugging up.

"Miss Yates, not yet." Octavia smiled and answered excitedly. "He is now being held up by the petrochemical factory. Also, since Sara is still antagonistic towards Hansen, she won't hear of Jenna following him back to A city. These two matters have already given him enough issues to contend with. I am afraid he will not come back for the time being."

Octavia got even more excited with each passing statement, while there was sly quality to Zoella's smile.

With her woman's intuition, Sara would not let her daughter get back with Hansen without a guarantee, while Hansen would always have a soft spot for Jenna. Hansen had worked himself to the bone, trying to search for his wife and son. He would not give up until he brought them back.

The petrochemical factory too, was holding Hansen back. Such a good opportunity posed as a huge advantage for her plan.

"Continue to sending people to the petrochemical factory to hold Hansen back. Richards Group won't be able to survive the financial crisis. If he comes back even only a few days later, a lot of the Richards Group's funds will be gone for good. Maybe this amount of money won't affect them much, but it will cause him some trouble. We can't pass up on such a godsend opportunity," Zoella said with a faint smile. "Yes, Miss Yates," Octavia agreed happily, and left.

After Octavia left, Zoella stood up and picked up the phone on the desk.

She dialled a number. After the other end picked up, she asked sweetly, "Sergio, it's been a long time. Do you still remember me?"

Sergio had just come back from a workout at the backyard garden. When he heard the soft and sweet voice, he became confused.

The woman's voice sounded familiar, but he really couldn't figure out who it belonged to.

"Sergio, why, you can't even remember my voice. It seems that the 'little white rabbit' competition that year was in vain. You really only have Jenna in your heart, huh?" Zoella said in a teasing tone as she pretended to sound upset.

Sergio was shocked. 'Little white rabbit'? Not to mention, she even knew Jenna's name. That woman then had to be...

Suddenly, realization dawned on him. "Zoella." He breathed.

"Finally, you remembered. Not easy, huh." Zoella burst into laughter.

Soft-spoken as she might be, she was also sharp-tongued. She was a delicate woman with the ambition of a real man. Her character was as strong as that of a man. Who could it be other than Zoella? Sergio couldn't help but to laugh.

That year, at Johan's party, a special feast had been prepared for the ladies. Every lady at the party had received a special gift.

Unfortunately, Jenna and Zoella had had their eyes set on a soft and cute little white rabbit at the same time. At first, it was Jenna who had gotten it. However, Zoella was a haughty person. She had snatched it from her and said that she had laid eyes on the rabbit first. Jenna's family had been in dire circumstances at that time. She had been able to join the party because Old Master Richards had specifically asked Javon to take her there. Therefore, she had been cautious, afraid of being laughed at. Even when Zoella had snatched the little white rabbit from her, she hadn't dared to say so much of a word. She had only stood there, on the verge of tears, suffering in silence.

At that time, Sergio had not been able to take his eyes off her. Her every move had stirred his heart. When he had caught Zoella bullying her, he had immediately stood up for her. He had grabbed the little white rabbit from Zoella and given it to Jenna.

Of course, Zoella had not been willing to accept defeat. She had started a fight with Sergio. The fight between the two had then alerted Johan. After learning the whole story, Johan had laughed. Everyone had laughed.

Johan had immediately ordered to make one exactly like it. They had it done on the same night and gave it to Zoella. Only then had the matter been put to an end.

However, after that incident, Sergio had realized that Zoella was a sassy woman. She was very stubborn too. She had actually dared to start a fight with him. That woman was not someone to be trifled with. Of course, those feelings were of a young man towards a young woman. It had happened so many years ago. He would not take it to heart.

"I didn't expect that Miss Yates would remember me. It's my great honor." Sergio laughed and joked.

"Don't even mention it. You're a fine-looking man, very talented, and charming. I've always kept you in my heart, never forgetting about you. It's just that you are too high up to reach. How would I have the decency to disturb you." Zoella laughed. Her liveliness could be felt even over the phone.

"Zoella, your words are making me feel embarrassed. I think you still remember what happened in the past. How about I go to A City to apologize to you one day?" Sergio smiled and answered frankly. "Deal. I'll wait for you in A city then," Zoella replied casually.

"No problem," Sergio said straightforwardly.

"Sergio, Jenna is now in Wullen Town. Isn't that the woman you love the most? You have to strike while the iron is hot." Zoella's lips curled into a smile as she spoke.

Sergio's face darkened as he chuckled.

Sergio thought of the night when he went for dinner with Jenna, and his heart skipped a beat. The corners of his mouth turned up, but he said self-deprecatingly, "She doesn't have her eye on me. Miss Yates, stop mocking me."

"That's not necessarily true. Now that your opportunity has come, you have to take advantage of it." Zoella laughed comfortably, and said, dragging out the last letter of her sentence. "Also, Sergio, are you sure you can take control of the petrochemical factory?"

The petrochemical factory? The smile on Sergio's face dissolved. How did that woman know about the petrochemical factory? What did she know? Immediately, he knitted his brows and asked flatly, "Miss Yates, what are you talking about? What petrochemical factory?"

Zoella laughed and avoided the question. She only said, "Sergio, I hope you can gain something in Wullen Town. After all, Jenna is there. Also, don't forget to treat me to a meal in A City."

With only that sentence, the two proceeded to talk about some unrelated topics and did not stay on the earlier subject.

After waking up from a deep sleep, Jenna regained some energy. Hansen had really drained her badly the night before.

"Jerry, Jerry." After she got up, she washed up and grabbed something to eat. She felt that the house was too quiet. It was so quiet that it was scaring her. Hence, she called out as she walked towards Jerry's

room.

"There's no need to call for him. Chloe took Jerry out to play." Sara was sitting on the sofa, knitting a sweater for Jerry. When she heard Jenna's voice, she quickly answered.

"The weather outside isn't very good. Chloe brought him out, she better make sure he does not catch a cold," Jenna said. However, she still felt uneasy. She headed outside, wanting to see where they had gone to. When she came out, she saw that there were pedestrians on both sides of the street, but definitely no sign of the two of them. She was shocked. Then, she remembered that for the past few days, Chloe would bring Jerry out and come back when it was time. The thing was, where did they go?

There weren't any nearby places to go at all. Did she bring Jerry somewhere far?

She walked towards the road. Just after she took a step or two, she heard laughter.

Following the sound of the laughter, she looked over. It was none other than Hansen's place!

A thought flashed across her mind. "Have they gone to Hansen's house?" Chloe was a family doctor of the Richards Group. In other words, she was a subordinate of Hansen. It was completely possible for her to bring Jerry there.

After thinking it through, she headed towards Hansen's house.

As soon as she set foot in the house, she heard Hansen's and Jerry's laughter. They seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Surely enough, they were there!

That guy had rented the house next door for Jerry's sake. Hence, Chloe bringing Jerry there had to be under Hansen's orders.

Quietly, Jenna walked in and pushed the door open. Her eyes widened.

The entire room was filled with all sorts of toys and food. At the moment, Jerry was surrounded by a pile of colorful balls. There was a toy car in his hand, and he waved it around. Excitement was written all over his face as he laughed happily.

Hansen was wearing a monster mask on his face. There was a hand-drawn beard on his face, a small red nose hat on his nose, and a balloon on his lips. He was playing with Jerry.

Jenna didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw how chaotic and funny the scene was.

Jerry was so excited that his arms and limbs were moving about. He was having a great time with Hansen.

He didn't even see Jenna coming in.

The father and the son duo didn't notice her, or they might have seen her but just ignored her as if she didn't exist. They only cared about having fun. On the other hand, Chloe was standing outside, chatting with Alvin.

"Jerry." After a while, Jenna called out.

The child had been out for a period of time. It was time to have some milk.

Only then did Jerry hear Jenna's voice. He turned his head to look at her, but only smiled at her. Then, he turned his head to play with Hansen. He did not run to her like how he usually did.

Great. Now that he had his father, the mother had completely slipped off his mind.

Jenna felt a sense of loss.

When she looked up and saw Jerry holding a fruit jelly in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth, she jumped in surprise. That kid was probably hungry, but since he was too involved in playtime, he wanted to eat whatever he could see.

Jerry hadn't tried eating any snacks yet. He couldn't just swallow the jelly like that. What if he choked on it? The news media had already reported such incidents many times.

"How could Hansen, an adult, not be aware of this kind of danger?" she thought to herself.

Her expression changed as she broke into a run towards him. She stepped into the pile of colourful balls and snatched the fruit jelly from his hand as she said loudly, "No eating."

Jerry was about to chomp on the sweet jelly, but Jenna took it away from him. Not getting what he wanted, and seeing Jenna looking so serious, he began to cry.

There was no denying that ever since Hansen came into his life, the number of people who doted on him had increased. He would make a fuss over everything, bursting into tears as he liked, and throwing tantrums at the slightest bit of disagreement.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that his baby son was crying, Hansen's heart ached. When he saw that Jenna had an angry look on her face, he thought that she was unhappy because she was left out.

When footfalls were heard from outside, he had known that it was her. He ignored her on purpose because he wanted to let her know how it felt to be ignored by their son, so she wouldn't refuse to go back with him. He didn't expect her to be so upset, and even to speak so harshly to Jerry.

"Do you know how to be a father? Do you not have any common sense?" Jenna asked straightforwardly. She was extremely displeased.
