Chapter 270 The Stubborn Hansen
Norton finally understood why Sabrina was upset. He sneered, “It’s not about Hansen’s taste; he is unworthy of Jenna. I think this is a good outcome. Jenna can finally be free. She would only suffer if she continues being with him.”
“No, I think they are a very good pair but I don’t know why something like this happened. It’s so sad.” Sabrina was in distress and she couldn’t get over it. She murmured, “Norton, if you dare to become a bastard like Hansen, I will never forgive you.”
Norton was startled when he heard what she said. He teased, “You are already starting to worry before we are even getting married. Don’t worry, I will never let you down. I will make you happy.”
“Really?” Sabrina stared at him with shining, ecstatic eyes.
Norton’s heart raced. Her eyes were filled with happiness and hope. It was blinding and beautiful. He felt a sense of responsibility and wanted to promise her a lifetime of happiness. He parted his lips but he could not bring himself to utter the words. He was still on pins and needles for what he had done. Therefore, he only patted her on the head before he left.
Sabrina watched as he walked away. An inexplicable wave of loneliness washed over her. She stared blankly ahead until a figure emerged suddenly. It was Hansen. He was looking very gloomy.
Hansen passed by without noticing her presence. Sabrina guessed that he was here to see Vivian.
All of a sudden, her temper spiked upon seeing him. She shouted in a dissatisfied tone, “Hansen!”
Hansen stopped in his tracks. However, he did not turn around, nor did he respond.
“Hansen, are you really going to abandon Jenna and marry someone like Aria?”
His muscles tensed but he still did not respond.
“It turns out that you are an a*shole without any sense of responsibility. You are so unreliable. I sympathize with Jenna and I despise you. You are truly unworthy of Jenna.” Sabrina shot daggers at him.
Hansen still did not utter a word.
“Isn’t Aria’s father just the deputy mayor? So what? Her character disgusts me. She is just a greedy woman and she will not be able to lead the Richards Group in the future. Although Jenna does not have a good family background, she is smart and independent. She is such an outstanding woman. Why can’t you see her strength? Anyone can see that Jenna is better than Aria. Can’t you? It’s so irritating.” Sabrina huffed and stomped her feet.
“Hansen, you are nothing but an *sshole to me from now onwards. I don’t wish to be associated with you in any manner. Don’t expect me to greet you in the future.”
Again, she stomped her feet in frustration and ran away as rage nearly consumed her.
If Hansen married Aria, her life would be tough once she got married to Norton. She would have to face Aria every single day. She could imagine how awkward it would be.
Sabrina didn’t want that!
Hansen was in a daze as he walked into the room.
After waiting for a long time, Meroy came out of the house and said softly,” Young Master, please leave, Grandma doesn’t wish to see you.”
Hansen refused to leave.
He wanted to tell Vivian that he didn’t want to marry Aria but Vivian seemed to know that he would come and she refused to see him.
Feeling extremely frustrated, Hansen hung his head as he left.
He had no mood to work. Ever since Marissa gave Aria the date of their marriage, Earl no longer bore any grudges towards him.
The Richards Group was saved.
Hansen finished a couple of bottles of wine by himself. He was starting to become drunk.
Once he was done drinking, he staggered out of the bar and hailed a cab.
Jenna sat at the edge of the bench, her back straight, her arms relaxed and straight in front of her as she played the piano. It was a mesmerizing sight.
Rayan was sitting on the couch as he marveled at her skills. He relaxed and began sipping his coffee.
Jenna was also immersed in the melody.
Did her baby like the melody? She thought silently to herself. She believed that her baby could hear the melody.
From this moment onwards, she would play the piano for him.
A phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence.
It was Jenna’s phone.
She answered the call.
“Jenna! Jenna! Come out and come home with me,” Hansen’s voice rang.
Hansen? Where was he?
Jenna was taken aback!
He seemed to be drunk and he must be nearby.
His voice was ragged but he was still able to form proper sentences. He must have taken a lot of wine.
He went drinking again!
“Jenna, come out. Please, come home with me,” Hansen wailed. Jenna looked around in panic. There was no one outside Rayan’s villa and she heaved a sigh of relief before she hung up the phone.
After a while, her phone rang again.
Jenna stared at it anxiously.
Where was he? How much wine did he drink?
Recalling what happened the day before at Hannah’s place, she couldn’t help feeling concerned.
She was worried that Hansen would get himself into trouble once he was drunk.
Her phone continued ringing.
Jenna turned her head away, refusing to answer it.
Rayan furrowed his brows as he glanced at the phone. He knew without a doubt that it was Hansen.
He shifted his gaze to her face.
Jenna stood up and looked at the phone. Her face was pale as she was in a daze.
Finally, silence fell.
“Rayan, I’ll go back to my room and rest first. I’m so exhausted.” She grabbed her phone and switched it off. She was indeed worn out with fatigue.
“Sure…” Rayan nodded. At that moment, the housekeeper dashed into the living room, panting heavily as he exclaimed, “Mr. Whalen, there’s someone outside rapping at the door, insisting to see you.”
“Oh.” Rayan raised his eyebrow and inquired, “Who is it?”
“Mr. Whalen, it’s a young man, he insists on seeing…” The housekeeper glanced at Jenna without speaking further.
Rayan understood immediately and gave a dismissive wave of his hand.
The housekeeper left.
“What do you want to do? Do you want to see him?” Rayan said lightly as he glanced at Jenna.
Hansen actually found the place. How did he know the address?
“No.” Jenna only hesitated for a second before she shook her head in resolution. “Rayan, please ask someone to send him back.”
She assumed an air of nonchalance and went into her room.
Rayan pondered the matter for a while before he stood up and headed to the door.
“Jenna! Jenna! Come out and come home with me.” Hansen’s cheeks flushed as he rapped on the door of the villa. He did not stop shouting.
Rayan approached him and shot him a warning stare without saying anything.
“Rayan, what are you scheming? Why are you hiding Jenna from me? Why did you intervene in our relationship?” With a crazed look in his eyes, Hansen yelled hysterically.
Rayan smiled faintly and said slowly, “Hansen, Jenna doesn’t love you anymore. Don’t pester her. She won’t come out to see you.”
“No, Jenna loves me. She agreed to marry me. We were still deeply in love a few days ago. Everything can’t change within a few days. It must be you! You ruined our relationship.” Hansen’s eyes bulged from their sockets as he gritted his teeth. “Jenna! Jenna! Come out!” he continued yelling.
Jenna stood in front of her bedroom window and glanced outside. She was feeling very uneasy and flustered as Hansen shouted for her, his voice getting louder by the minute.
“Jenna, I won’t go back if you don’t come out today. I must bring you home today!” Hansen yelled as loudly as he could.
“Stop yelling, she won’t come out to see you. Just give up. Go back and marry Aria,” Rayan advised him. Hansen had been yelling for a while but Jenna paid no heed to his cries.
“Impossible, I must take her home today.” Hansen was stubborn once he was drunk.
“Since you have the patience, I won’t stop you.” Rayan smiled with an air of nonchalance. He said lightly, “It’s too late to regret now.”
Upon finishing his sentence, his gaze shifted to the gloomy sky and he walked back into the house.
Jenna had been standing in front of the window for a very long time. Finally, Hansen’s shouts disappeared and Jenna staggered to the couch. She was feeling nauseous and exhausted. Hence, she rested on the couch and closed her eyes.
It began raining. The rain drummed wildly on the roof and she could hear the wind howling.
She trembled as she felt the chill.
The phone in the room rang. It was Rayan.
“Jen, come out for dinner.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Dinner? Jenna was shocked. Did she stand in front of the window for so many hours?
“Okay, thank you.” Despite having no appetite, she agreed politely.
Her head began to whirl as she stood up. She steadied herself against the wall and staggered out of the room by supporting herself on the couch.
“Jen, are you all right?” Rayan was filled with worry as he gazed at her. “You look haggard. I must take you to see a doctor tomorrow.”
“It’s okay. Don’t worry, I’m okay.” Jenna lowered her head and picked up the fork on the table.
“Mr. Whalen! Mr. Whalen!” The housekeeper emerged at this instant.
