Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 212

"Jenna, really, I didn't plan on killing him. You know that I love you so much, why would I kill your dad?” Norton turned pale and said in fear.

"All evidence points to you and you're still making up excuses." Jenna knew that he was unpredictable and wild. Of course, she would not fall for his lies.

"Jenna, trust me." Jenna's disbelief struck his heart but he knew that she had no reason to believe him. He could only explain over and over, "Jenna, you have to believe me. I really didn't want your father will die; I never expected it to turn out like this."

He suddenly lifted his chin up, his face painted with desperation.

He said softly, "Jenna, I remember when I first saw you at a banquet in Ink Garden, I was still young but I fell in love with you. I swore that I must marry you as my wife. I thought about you every day and wanted to see you. No matter how stupid I am, I would never think of killing your father. This is truly from the bottom of my heart. Believe it or not, these are my genuine feelings."

As painful memories flashed across his mind, he grew despondent. The muscles on his face twitched but his eyes still held the love and desire for Jenna.

She flinched. Staring at him sternly, she then asked with a sneer, "Do you mean to say that you are accused?"

"I..." His eyes turned dull, his face full of helplessness and pain. He purposely averted his eyes. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "That car accident was indeed my doing. Your father and I were both competing for Head of the Finance Department and I wanted to win so that your whole family would be impressed with me. I wanted to gain your attention and change how you thought of me. I made the wrong decision. I only blame myself for hiring Brock Moore to prevent your father from participating in the election the next day. As long as Javon did not participate, he would

automatically be eliminated and no one would be able to compete against me. Then, I would surely win. I did win but I really didn't expect Brock to hit your father with a car. They were crazy. This was really not what I wanted. Since finding out about your father's tragic death, I have always felt uneasy and guilty." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He finally admitted his crimes. Jenna sneered at his 'reasonable' excuses.

Norton's face in front of her was full of fear and lifelessness. He looked completely different from before when he was dark, cunning, and unpredictable. She could not help but be a little surprised. She had never seen him looking this way.

"So what? My dad still died because of you. Do you think your crimes will disappear just by saying that you didn't want him to die?" she questioned furiously.

Who would understand the pain of losing a loved one? Such a long period of suffering could not be relieved with just one sentence, could it?

A living person was gone forever and her mother was paralyzed for the rest of her life. The tragedy they had to endure was only because of his greed in politics. What more was there to explain?

"Jenna, I know I'm guilty and I'm in no place to ask for your forgiveness. But, I never wanted you to suffer. I have always loved you deeply. All of this is because of me. Now I'm willing to confess my crimes and be punished for them but I just want to tell you my true feelings. Don't mistaken me, I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I deserve to die for my sins, even dying won't suffice. I'm beyond grateful that I can tell you what is in my heart and look at you one last time," Norton repented.

"Jenna, you are the most beautiful and kind girl I have ever seen. I have never regretted loving you," he confessed. Suddenly leaning forward and looking at her intently, he said, "Listen to me, leave Hansen, leave Richards Manor. You won't be happy there and that b*stard doesn't love you the way you deserve it. I admit that I'm no match to him but I hope from the bottom of my heart that

you can be happy. Run away, Jenna. Run as far as you can. The longer you stay with Hansen, the more you'll get hurt. They won’ t let you go that easily either. Find someone who loves you and whom you can spend this life with happily. Trust me, what I say is true, it's all for your own good."

He almost finished these words in one breath, then squinted his eyes as if he wanted to carve Jenna's image in his heart. He fixated his eyes on her before turning his head away.

"Jenna, you can go now, don't come to see me again. I have already said everything that needed to be said and I have reminded you to stay away from them. You can figure out the rest on your own. I won't beg for your forgiveness. In this life, I can do nothing to pay for what I've done. I can only let you down. I will accept the court's decision nonetheless." After he said this boldly, he did not look back and returned to his cell.

Jenna stood there blankly, unable to come to her senses even after he left the visiting room.

Who did he mean by 'them'?

Was there any other secrets?

When she wanted to ask him, he had already left!

No, his words could not be trusted. Jenna shook her head and walked out slowly.

He was an expert in playing with words and giving hints. Previously, he hinted that her father's death was related to Hansen. Fortunately, she had believed Hansen out of love, causing no misunderstandings to arise.

"Mr. Richards, what do you think? Are Norton's words trustworthy?" Even long after Norton had left the room, Hansen still stared at the screen, unable to clear his thoughts.

Norton's words really left him stupefied.

He was not surprised by his love confession to Jenna but surprised at his advice to her.

He had never paid attention to Norton's words before but they shocked him this day.

Was he a b*stard? Could he really not give Jenna the love she deserved?

He had never thought about this question; he even thought it impossible. Would he not be able to give a woman the love she wanted? He never imagined that a woman would be unhappy by his side. Was he the kind of man who could not even give happiness to his woman?

No, it couldn't be.

That d*mned Norton must be trying to separate Jenna from him since he could not have her love to himself. He was just jealous. It must be so, Hansen thought to himself.

"Mr. Richards," Jordan scanned Hansen's face and called him again softly.

Charles had some sort of a smile on his face, seemingly amused. The two brothers of the Richards family were really one of a kind. They fell in love with the same woman at the same time. Even when one was in prison, they were still fighting over her.

"What?" Hansen snapped out of it. He raised his head and looked at Jordan.

A smile appeared at the corner of Jordan's mouth and he repeated, "Mr. Richards, do you think we can trust Norton?"

Hansen's composed himself and only then did he think about the matter at hand. He pondered, "It's very likely to be true. There are still many doubts about this though. We can't take it lightly. Let's catch Brock first."

"Yes, we can only do that for now, we can't rush it. I don't know when would Mr. Matthews give an order to apprehend Brock," Charles said calmly. He was very nervous about Christopher's order and he wanted to impress Hansen too, hoping that Hansen would compliment him in front of Christopher.

In Green Jade Garden, Aria was so depressed that she was restless all day long. She could not keep her feet to herself. Sitting, standing, nothing had calmed her down. Her face was flushed, and her eyes flashed with panic and anxiety.

It was not until Minnie walked in that she let out a sigh of relief.

"Are you for sure that Trevor is able to move?" she shot her question anxiously at Minnie.

"Yes, it's true." Minnie panted, apparently walking in a hurry earlier on. She continued in a secretive voice, "Yesterday, I heard what Marissa said to Aunt Ella with my own ears. She was beaming. It seems like he will be able to stand up soon. I also went to the hospital just now. Although I couldn't get in, a friend of mine is working as a nurse there. I asked her and she said that it's definitely true. After Trevor was sent abroad for treatment, he could move his arms. According to the doctor over there, he will be able to speak soon."

Aria's face darkened as the panic became evident on her face, her mind in a mess. When she looked up, she saw Minnie observing her with curiosity. Knowing that she had lost her composure, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Aria wished to be the daughter- in- law of the Richards family. However, knowing that Hansen's father was getting better, she appeared anxious. There must be a secret in this. Perhaps, Trevor's accident was related to her! Minnie thought to herself.

"Minnie, you did a very good job. Although I am the daughter- in- law of the Richards family, and of course, I hope that my father-in-law will get better too, but I still have to think about myself, don't I? I

don't want him to recover for now because I'm scared that my wedding plans with Hansen will have to wait. I'm just a little worried." Aria was worried that Minnie would be suspicious, therefore she briefly explained her thoughts. How could she not know what Minnie was thinking about?

Minnie smiled and nodded but she sneered in her heart. Aria was hiding something. It was obvious from the fact that she was trying to cover it up with some nonsense. One day, Minnie would take advantage of this and blackmail her for money. Thinking of this, a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

"You go first, I want to rest now." Aria sent Minnie away and sat on the reclining chair to have some alone time. After a while, she picked up her bag and walked outside after making a call.

"Aria, why didn't you say that you're coming back?" Georgia was surprised when she saw her daughter at her doorstep, happy yet worried that she was bullied by Jenna in Richards Manor.

But this time, Aria did not look aggrieved. Instead, she looked nervous and flustered.

"Morn, is Dad back home yet?" Aria asked once she entered the house.

"What's the matter? Come to the study," Earl's voice sounded from the living room.

Aria hurriedly walked towards the study without even taking the time to take off her shoes.
