Getting My Ex-wife Back

It’s the second day of the New Year, and the last day of the Richards Manor New Year’s banquet.

She glanced around in the bedroom, that she’d never dreamed that she would return to. Who would’ve known that she’d be tricked by Hansen into returning the night before.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

All sorts of emotions welled up in her heart and she stood there in a stupor.

Aunt Ella walked in to clean up after her breakfast. However, she noticed that Jenna hadn’t touched the luxurious breakfast at all. She was concerned and distressed.

“Young Madam, the Young Master said that you have to eat more,” she said to Jenna.

Jenna gave her a faint smile.

“Aunt Ella, you don’t have to refer to me as the Young Madam anymore. I don’t belong here anymore. I’ll be leaving soon.” She said.

“Young… where are you going?” Aunt Ella felt sorrowful and asked sadly.

Jenna could see Aunt Ella’s sorrow, and she said to her with a warm smile, “Don’t worry, Aunt Ella, the world is huge. There must be somewhere that’s meant for me to stay.”

Aunt Ella’s eyes turned red. “Young Madam, no matter where you go, you’ll always be the Young Madam in my heart. The Green Jade Garden will never go back to how it used to be. I’m planning on retiring soon as well, I’ve already applied for my resignation with our Young Master. After the New Year, I’ll request for him to transfer me to the Ink Garden to work for a few more years. I’m just a little worried about you. You’re still so young. You have to find a good man to marry.”

Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. Soon, she sobbed so much that she could no longer say a word.

Jenna felt melancholic and terrible. She held onto Aunt Ella’s hands and burst out into tears.

“Aunt Ella, you’re the only one who treats me well in the Green Jade Garden. I want to thank you for that. I’ll always remember everything you’ve done for me in my heart.” She comforted Aunt Ella gently.

Aunt Ella wiped her tears and said in a heavy voice, “Young Madan, I know that our Young Master actually loves you. I didn’t expect the two of you to reach this point. However, it’s not the fault of you both. It’s all due to Aria being too powerful, and our Young Master can’t do anything about her. I believe that the world is fair. A kind person’s good deeds will be rewarded. You will be more and more blessed in the future. I have faith in you.”

Jenna was very moved and said with tears in her eyes, “Thank you.”

“Oh. By the way, the Young Master told me that you have to stay here for the next few days, and you’re not allowed to go anywhere else,” Aunt Ella quickly said as she remembered Hansen’s orders.

Jenna understood, smiled bitterly, and then shook her head as she said, “Aunt Ella, I understand what he’s trying to do. He’s trying to make me stay, but how is that possible? He and Aria are getting married soon. Why would I stay here to accept such humiliation? I have to leave today. Please help me, Aunt Ella.”

Aunt Ella lowered her head and thought for a while, and agreed to Jenna’s request. If Aria were to see Jenna in this room, she would probably use another vicious tactic to attack her. Jenna was a self-respecting woman. She would never want to stay here and get bullied. Aunt Ella understood this, and nodded her head.

On a luxurious cruise, Hilda Smith sat on a bench on the front deck, gazing at the vast ocean in a daze.

After Rayan left, he never came back again. There was no more news from him.

He was with that woman, and that woman had been pregnant for three months. She didn’t dare to think whether or not that child was Rayan’s.

“Come in for a while, Hilda.” Jonas Smith’s stern voice rang from the cabin.

Hilda replied and walked in languidly. Soon, her face turned pale.

“Dad, do you really have to do this?” She asked in a trembling voice with an ashen face.

Jonas was polishing a shiny pistol. He was cautious and focused, and his hair was combed into a neat and tidy hairstyle. A pair of sunglasses covered his eyes, and light flickered beneath them. Hilda couldn’t tell what he meant, but could feel the chills coming from him.

“What do you think?” The corners of Jonas’ lips curled into a sinister smile. He held his pistol, squinted his eyes, and aimed at the seagull flying above the ocean.

Hilda’s heart began to tremble. She knew that the minute her father pulled the trigger, the seagull, that was flying freely above the ocean, would die immediately.

If…

She didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

“Dad, please just let him off. I don’t mind it anymore.” She shook her head as she said softly, lowering her head.

Her voice was extremely low, and she didn’t dare to look at Jonas’ face.

Jonas laughed coldly. “That’s bleak!” he said with a sigh. “My silly daughter, does he even realize that you’re being so considerate for him? Does he appreciate what you’re doing for him? If he had any feelings for you, do you think he would’ve just left like that? You’ve given up so much for him, and waited for him for so long. Yet, he just left saying he wanted to ‘draw the line’ between the two of you. Who did he think you were? Who did he think I was?”

Hilda lowered her head further.

“Dad, I love him. I don’t want him to die like this. I’d rather he live happily, even if I do not get to be with him. I guess this is love,” she said timidly.

“Haha!” Jonas burst into laughter all of a sudden. His laugh was filled with mockery and ferocity. After a while, he stopped. A stern expression appeared on his face. “Anybody raised by me, Jonas Smith, will not tolerate any betrayal. I’m not a kind person, who would rather be taken advantage of than to take advantage of others. I would never let any effort be in vain. Since he is useless to me, and even abandoned had my daughter, I definitely would not let him off just like that.”

Hilda’s hand trembled slightly, and her mouth started to quiver. She knew that her father would do anything he said he would, and there would be no room for negotiation.

She closed her eyes and whispered in her heart three times, “Rayan, why are you so stubborn? Are you not afraid of losing your life just for that woman?”

Then, she opened her eyes. They were full of hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, “You’re right, Dad. I mustn’t forgive him. He abandoned me for that woman. How dare he toy with Jonas Smith’s daughter.”

“That’s right.” Jonas nodded his head in agreement. His face darkened, and a piercing light flashed across his eyes, as he played with the pistol in his hands.

“Dad, I have a request. Please help me!” Hilda said with a calm face.

“What request? Tell me, my daughter.” Jonas’ expression was filled with love and care, and his tone was tender.

“Dad, I want to kill him with my own hands,” she said lightly. Her face was calm and expressionless, and her voice was cold and bitter.

Jonas turned his gaze towards her, and his eyes were filled with a mysterious light.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I really want him to die. I’ve given up so many years of youth and love for him, but he left me just like that. I hate him, and I want him to die right away. So, please Dad, let me do it.” She pleaded sincerely and she looked into Jonas’ eyes.

Jonas’ eyes narrowed into a line. An eerie light escaped from the gap between his eyelids.

“Dad, trust me. My marksmanship is not any worse than yours.” She continued begging.

Jonas glanced at her as he considered. His daughter’s marksmanship was fantastic. He was clear that his was definitely not any better than hers. However, was she really willing to kill him?

When he walked out of the cabin, he clearly saw the miserable expression on her face.

“Dad, trust me.” Hilda’s voice was drawn out, as if being in the wrong for not being trusted. “Dad, ever since Mom left, I did everything by myself. Have I ever let you down in any way? Do you still distrust me in a time like this? I will only be able to give up on him and start a new life if I kill him by myself.”

She said it calmly, and withdrew any trace of sorrow that started to form in her eyes.

A trace of guilt flashed across Jonas’ eyes. His inconsistent career and lifestyle made Hilda’s mother die of a serious flu after giving birth to Hilda. After all these years, he still blamed himself, and pampered Hilda as much as he could. The reason he had put in so much effort to groom Rayan was not only because he thought that he had potential, but also because he could see that Hilda was in love with him.

Perhaps it would be good for her to kill him herself too. She would be able to give up on him completely!

Technically, he was just worried that Hilda wouldn’t be able to do it. No matter what, he just wished that she would not regret her decision.

All in all, everyone who betrayed them had to suffer the consequences. That was his rule, as well as his baseline.

“How about this? I will shoot one shot at him. If he manages to escape, then he’s lucky. It will be God’s will for him to live. I will let him go, and we’ll never hold any more grudges against him. If he hadn’t managed to escape, then that’s his fate. What do you think about that?” he said, offering to minimize the punishment to take care of her feelings, at the same time still not allowing her to shoot Rayan on her own.

However, Hilda did not listen to him at all, and was still stubborn.

“Alright, Dad. I still want to request to shoot this shot myself. Please trust that I’ll be able to do it,” she said.

She persisted with her choice, and didn’t plan to give in at all.

“Alright, I’ll promise you.” Seeing that she was so insistent, Jonas had no choice but to agree. “However, after this shot, no matter how the results turn out, you have to return to your optimistic self and restart your life. You have to live the life of a normal woman, and get married and have kids. You must not continue waiting for a guy like that and live a meaningless life, alright? I don’t want to disappoint your mother.”

“Alright, Dad. I promise you.” Hilda walked forwards and grabbed Jonas’ arm. She pressed her face against his arm, and a tear trickled down from the corner of her eye. Soon enough, it was concealed by the smile on her face, and she agreed firmly.

Jonas nodded earnestly and patted her shoulder.

“Jen, where are you?” Just as Jenna had walked down from the Green Jade Garden, she received Rayan’s call. When Jenna was whisked away by Hansen the night before, Hansen’s haughty expression made Rayan very concerned.

Jenna had already moved out of Richards Manor. So, where could she have been the night before? Did Hansen leave her alone somewhere? That guy would do anything when he wanted to behave like a b*stard. Therefore, he gave her a call the first thing in the morning.
