Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)
Chapter 442

Their laughter and chatter could be heard from time to time. Sergio was in the office next to theirs. He was smoldered with resentment as they were apparently enjoying each other's company. Despite their predicament, they were laughing very happily. It was as if they were on cloud nine.

"Great. Laugh while you can. You guys would not feel like laughing anymore soon." He thought angrily.

The muscles along his jaw clenched and his eyes glowed with savagery.

Although they were under immense pressure, he did not catch sight of them being in distress or agony. They were as affectionate as ever to each other and disregarded everyone else.

At this moment, he was suddenly filled with a sense of emptiness and loneliness. Nothing could make him feel better. For the first time in his life, he realized that life wasn't just about politics, power, and profits. There was something much more precious. Something which he never had before.

After lunch, Jenna packed up the stuff. Hansen followed her, wanting to help her wash the

dishes.

"There's no need to help me. This is my duty as your wife. You don't have to help me." Jenna pushed him away, but Hansen hugged her from behind, as he placed his head on her shoulders.

"Jenna, if something happens to me in the future, remember what I have said. Raise Jerry well and live on," Hansen said softly as he tightened his embrace around her.

Jenna's body became stiff, and her arms trembled violently. She stood up abruptly.

"Hansen, what do you mean by this? Let me tell you. This will not happen. I won't allow it to happen. Besides, I have already said it before. I can't support the family and lead the company alone. Don't spout nonsense in the future. I don't want to hear it again." Jenna pushed him away and looked straight into his eyes. Her face had turned pale with fear.

Hansen looked at her and felt a pang in his heart. However, he assumed an air of nonchalance and chuckled as he caressed her smooth hair. "Foolish girl. I'm just joking around. Look at you. You look like I have just bullied you. Why are you so cute?"

However, Jenna did not believe him anymore and stared at him with tears brimming in her eyes.

"Do you know something that I don't? Or is your sixth sense hinting at something?" She stepped forward and pointed at his chest. "Let me tell you. You better not hide anything from me. I want to know everything. We are now husband and wife. I have the right to know the truth. We will face the challenges ahead together. Don't you dare keep it a secret from me, do you understand? I won't allow it."

As she spoke, tears coursed down her cheeks and she was choked by the sobs.

Glancing at the tears streaming down her cheeks, Hansen's heart only felt pain for her. He was filled with anguish. With a heavy heart, he stretched out his hands to pull her into his arms.

"Jenna, this is life. It will not always be perfect and smooth. I will try my best to give you and Jenny a comfortable and happy life. However, life is unpredictable. Anything can happen in the future. The reason I'm telling you this is just to remind you that anything can happen anytime, and we must always be prepared for the worst. Do you understand?" he whispered in her ears and explained everything in detail. However, his words had only filled Jenna with distress. She recalled Jerry wailing in anguish at home and her heart ached terribly. She clung onto his suit with all her might, until her knuckles turned green, as if she was afraid that she would

lose him.

Hansen couldn't help but to lower his head to kiss her, from her lips to her cheeks. He kissed away her tears and in the end, it seemed as if both of them were crying at the same time. The tears tasted salty and bitter.

That night, both of them hugged each other to sleep in Hansen's suite. They were locked in an embrace as they revealed what was on their mind, until the two of them were exhausted, before finally falling into a slumber.

That night, Jenna had a selfish thought. She would rather give up her life of luxury and her social status as part of a rich and prestigious family, for a poor yet normal life, just like all the other average families in the world. A normal life where the husband and wife loved each other and cared for one another. A normal life where there weren't so many responsibilities and pressure. She just wanted to raise Jerry well and live a happy life, with the two of them.

Alas, it was impossible. How could it be possible?

Their fates had been determined long ago.

The Richards Group had been in the industry's spotlight and many considered them as a threat. There would always be people who wished to destroy them.

Jenna's eyes were red and swollen when she woke up the next day.

The moment she opened her eyes, she realized that the space next to her was empty. Hansen had already awakened and she was not aware of it.

Once she was done cleaning up, the other staff arrived at the company, one after another.

Upon returning to her office, Yuri, the secretary, brought her some breakfast. She nibbled on the sandwich but she barely had any appetite. She sat there in a daze as she stared blankly ahead. Hansen was nowhere to be seen. She had no idea where he was. He had not left his office for days. Hence, he had probably gone out.

Ever since Sergio arrived at the company with his team, all the cars produced by the company had been recalled from the market. As a result, some employees in the other industries had begun to lose confidence in the company. Hansen had been busy gaining their trust, while cooperating with Sergio's investigation.

Jenna sat in her office as she dealt with the company's internal affairs. She also took up some tasks regarding the other industries to reduce the burden on Hansen.

After signing a few documents and looking through a few reports, she caught a glimpse of Sergio's tall figure entering her office.

Jenna nodded to him politely and continued with her tasks.

"Jenna, where did Hansen go?" Sergio walked in and asked with a serious expression.

Jenna raised her eyebrows and made an expression indicating that she had no idea where he was. She said indifferently, "Mr. Xanthe, Mr. Richards had been cooperating with you for the past few days. I don't think he has to report to you whenever he goes to the toilet or changes his clothes."

She put on an air of indifference. She did not smile at all and she seemed very cold and distant.

Sergio glanced at her. Her face was pale, and her eyes were red and swollen. However, she remained focused as she looked through the reports meticulously. She had been in this state for the past few days. As Hansen was busy cooperating with them for the investigation, she had taken up the responsibility of overseeing the internal affairs in the company, and had done a splendid job. Hence, the company was still running smoothly despite the circumstances.

Perhaps he was moved by the fierce determination on her face, Sergio sat on the couch and asked gently, "Jenna, you must loathe me. Am I right? But please understand, this is my job. I have no choice. I have received orders from my superiors. Hence, I have to conduct this investigation. Please understand."

Upon finishing his sentence, he sighed. "Back then, you insisted on returning to Hansen's side. Hence, there's no other way around. Back then, you could have chosen not to return and you would not be forced to bear these responsibilities now if you had done so. However, you were insistent and chose to return, despite the risks. What a shame."

Upon hearing what he had said, Jenna furrowed her brows and raised her head, looking very puzzled and serious.

"Sergio, you're wrong. I chose Hansen because I love him. Hence, it's my responsibility to face these challenges as well. I followed him back to Richards Group and accepted his love. Therefore, I will be strong and stay by his side during these difficult times. I don't regret it. I believe that we will overcome the crisis. After all, justice will prevail. The Richards Group has never done anything against the interests of the nation. I believe that soon, the truth will come to light."

She spoke frankly in a righteous manner. Sergio was flushed with embarrassment and felt pretty awkward. He could only smile feebly as he nodded in agreement.

Jenna looked very solemn as she said earnestly, "Mr. Xanthe, I have never blamed you. It's your job and you have no choice but to carry it out. We do understand. However, we hope that you can remain fair and square when you investigate the matter and prove our innocence."

Sergio smiled and nodded. "Don't worry. I've been working hard for the past few days so that I can prove your innocence. I don't believe as well that your company would be involved in something like this." Jenna was grateful and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"Jenna! Jenna!" They heard the sound of approaching footsteps. A bright and clear voice rang. There was a hint of concern in the voice.

Jenna was startled.

Why was the voice so familiar?

She didn't have time to react.

A young and pretty woman dashed into the office.

"Jenna, how's the company right now?" Sabrina rushed into the office. Upon seeing Jenna sitting at her desk, looking very distraught and serious, she was instantly filled with concern. Jenna was normally optimistic and carefree. Judging from her expression, the company had faced an immense crisis.

"Sabrina, why are you here?" It wasn't until Sabrina held her hand that Jenna came to her senses and exclaimed in surprise.

"Jenna, I told you yesterday that I will come over." Sabrina sulked. "Jenna, the Richards Group is in trouble, yet you did not even bother to tell me. How cruel! If I hadn't seen the news in the newspaper, I would probably be in the dark till goodness knows when."

Sabrina complained. There was a look of concern on her face.

Jenna was moved at that instant. Sabrina was such a sweet, young lady. She returned to the country right away, upon hearing that something had happened to the Richards Group. She thought that she was just joking when she mentioned it the day before. However, to her surprise, Sabrina came right away. She was so touched that she did not know what to say.

Sabrina didn't care what she was thinking. She was about to fling her bag onto the couch when she noticed a handsome man sitting on the couch as she turned around. He had an elegant demeanor and he was looking at her with his amber eyes. Sabrina was dumbfounded.

"Who is he?" Sabrina had not returned to the country for a long time. She was used to being straightforward and always spoke what was on her mind. Hence, she inquired right away when she was uncertain about the man's identity.

"Oh, Sabrina, this is Sergio. You can call him Mr. Xanthe." Jenna stood up immediately and introduced him.
