Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Wait, Jenna, I am practically your brother. It’s not good for us to talk in such a hidden corner either. Aren’t you afraid that someone will tell Hansen that we chatted alone in the dark?” Norton also got out of the electric car, but stopped her in advance. “Jenna, let’s go out, find a quiet teahouse, eat something, and then we will have a good chat. Trust me, I won’t do anything to you and my information is definitely worth your time.”

His eyes were very frank and his words were very sincere.

That was it, she had to go out with him if she wanted to learn about her father. Thinking about her original intentions, she took a deep breath, bit her lip, and nodded. “Okay, then let’s go.”

“Okay.” Norton was happy to see Jenna agreeing with him. He then walked towards the basement. “I’ll drive.”

There were many teahouses in A City, which were completely different from restaurants. They had a variety of teas and all kinds of exquisite desserts. The teahouses were usually elegantly decorated with quiet environments. Small lattice-style private rooms crisscrossed the halls. There were also private rooms that were very suitable for lovers and couples.

A variety of strong tea aromas came from the steaming purple clay pot, accompanied by exquisite desserts; they were indeed a woman’s favorite. The reason why Norton chose to come here was that he knew Jenna was like typical girls who liked to spend time here.

There was also once when Jenna accepted his invitation and came to the teahouse with Hannah.

“Jenna, remember, we came to this teahouse before when we were in college.” After Norton sat down, he poured tea for her like a gentleman and graciously handed her the menu.

Jenna accepted the menu, but she was surprised. Had she been here with him? How could she not remember anything at all?

“Yeah.” She hummed softly, ordered a few snacks, and ate slowly.

“Norton, we were also classmates. Let’s get straight to the point, okay?” Jenna took another bite of the cake and spoke in a more peaceful tone.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Sure, of course.” Norton agreed while holding the cup and sipping his tea elegantly; the fragrance of the tea lingered in his mouth. He always perceived Jenna as an elegant tea that had an endless sweet aftertaste. He was already satisfied just by staring at her. Since meeting her in college, her pure beauty and extraordinary temperament had been deeply imprinted in his heart.

If it was not for Hansen, Jenna would definitely belong to him.

He was confident of it.

However, now, even Jenna had been taken by Hansen. He was unsatisfied.

Was it because Hansen was richer than him?

He wouldn’t let Hansen succeed. The cold light in his eyes flashed and he put on an approachable smile.

“Jenna, for so many years, you knew what I thought of you. I can’t hurt you, and everything I do is for your own good. After I tell you something, promise me that you will leave Hansen. There will be no future for both of you to be together,” he drank a sip of tea and said seriously. Aria would not let her go, nor would she let them live a happy life together. Others might not know this but how could he not know it? If Jenna was still entangled with Hansen, she would only hurt herself more deeply.

He loved her and did not want to see her suffer more harm, so he had to take action. He must try to persuade her.

Jenna frowned when she heard it, then repeated herself, “Norton, I am here today for my father, regarding my own affairs. I know what I should do, and I don’t need you to remind me. I don’t want to hear words like these anymore.”

She was very upset in her heart. It seemed like she was hurting him just by being with Hansen, but still, she hated being threatened.

“Jenna, don’t be so stubborn anymore. Can’t you think of the consequences for once? Don’t you know who is really good to you? Who is the one who harmed you, don’t you know?” Norton finally made up his mind. He came closer, looked at her bright eyes and spoke deeply.

Jenna was frightened. She leaned her head back, sat upright, and asked in surprise, “What do you mean?”

“You are a wise lady, so you should understand what I meant.” The light in his eyes grew deeper and deeper, and his tone became mysterious.

“No, I don’t understand.” Jenna shook her head repeatedly.

“Don’t understand?” Norton sighed suddenly. “Well, it’s no wonder that some women are very dull when they’re involved in such matters.” Saying this, he said with great regret, “It’s not your fault either. It’s all his fault for tempting you so much that you lost your way.

“Who tempted me?” Jenna was even more curious.

“Who do you think it is?” Norton no longer wanted to keep it a suspense. He faintly said, “Of course it’s Hansen. Think about it, who’s the one who hurt you the most throughout these years? Who was the one who treated you so badly? Has he fulfilled his responsibility as a husband? Why does he behave like this?”

When Norton said this, he deliberately refused to speak anymore. He was paying attention to Jenna’s expressions and observed her reaction.

“Norton, if you touch on my relationship with Hansen again, then I don’t have to stay here with you at all. I’m sorry, I’ll leave first.” Jenna got angry then stood up and was about to leave.

She knew what Hansen was like, and she didn’t need Norton’s provocation.

She really loved Hansen very much. Until now, she still didn’t want to hear even a few bad comments about him. This hurt her again. Hansen had hurt her so deeply, causing her to leave her hometown, and he even made her suffer humiliation. However, she just missed him although he didn’t want to even look at her now. Why was this happening?

The pain in her heart continued to overwhelm her. Norton had made up his mind to make her completely give up. One of his hands clenched his clothes tightly, but then his other hand stretched out to hold Jenna’s hand, pulling her to sit down. “You are still so impulsive. As long as you come across anything about him, you will lose your mind. You can’t even handle the death of your dearest person, your father. You’re really losing your mind.”

He sighed and murmured.

Jenna’s body became stiff again, and she immediately asked, “Norton, what do you mean? What’s the matter with my father? If you continue to beat around the bush, I will take it as if you’re just fooling me, and I’ll never believe you.”

Norton suddenly laughed bitterly.

“No wonder it’s often rumored that some women have zero IQ in the face of love. It seems like it’s true.” He sighed again and again. “I’ve already pointed it out, but you still don’t get it.”

“Norton, is it fun to make fun of people? It’s not fun at all, and it’s boring.” Her voice started to get cold and she wanted to stand up again.

“Don’t go. Sit down.” Norton hurriedly signaled her with his hand, picked up the napkin on the table, and wiped his lips. He said regretfully, “Jenna, after all, you won’t believe what I say. You’re now looking for 10, 000 reasons to forgive him, and you’re imposing pain on yourself, even on your loved ones.”

After a long time, Jenna wanted to understand his meaning, and her face turned pale. “You mean, it is Hansen …”

Before she finished her words, she heard Norton reply decisively, “Yes, it is him. Why do you think he’s being so kind as to treat your mother? That’s his trick to camouflage himself. He isn’t such a kind person. The person he loves is not you, so why is he being so good to you? Three years ago, it was your fault that his father ended up in a vegetative state. Because of that he hates you so much and has always wanted to take revenge on you. How could he let you go so easily? I heard that the car that crashed into your father belongs to the Richards Group. Think about it, who else in the Richards Group wants to retaliate against you?”

Norton’s words brought Jenna overwhelmed her and she felt surrounded by ice. It was true that she initially approached Hansen because of this too, but over time, she had ruled out the possibility of him killing her father, little by little. She had reasons to believe that Hansen would not kill her father, but all of this was just purely her feelings. Where was the evidence?

Although his words were somewhat speculative, they were logical too, and they were the most direct association that one could think of.

“How do you know this? Do you have any evidence?” Her face was pale and she asked him coldly.

The look in Norton’s eyes was cold and disdainful.

“Don’t forget, I work in the Department of Finance now. Of course, I hear gossip. I also have certain evidence for some things,” Norton said again in a clear-cut manner, and his words crushed the little hope that was left in Jenna. She closed her eyes, opened them again after a while, and asked calmly, “What is the evidence?”

She was not that stupid. She would not believe Norton’s words out of thin air. He was unpredictable and she didn’t like him at all, so it was impossible for her to believe his one-sided accusations.

“Jenna, do you remember what Hansen said in the back garden of Ink Garden when you and your father came to Richards Group back then?”

Norton further reminded her.

The back garden of Ink Garden? Jenna couldn’t help but shiver. How could she not remember the incident that day? She would never forget it in her life, because Hansen’s words were too hurtful.

“Javon Murphy, since you want to marry your daughter to me, you must be mentally prepared. Will she be happy in the future? Will something happen? Don’t blame me. Also, about your promotion, don’t count on it. I won’t let you succeed, and I won’t make your life easy.” Hansen’s words penetrated her blood like poison, and they couldn’t be cleaned out even after so many years. Of course she would never forget such a terrible memory.

That was the first time she was at Richards Manor, with the dreams of a girl longing for love. She was taken by her father to see Grandma Richards who was smiling brightly. The entire Richards Manor was so luxurious and beautiful. The golden townhouses ignited her girly dreams. Everything in Richards Manor was so beautiful. Now that she thought about it, the dream she had back then was indeed dazzling.
