Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 128 A Step Closer to Unlocking One’s Heart



“You, come here.” He waved at her.

Feeling that he was not as unwilling as she had imagined, Jenna was happy in her heart and took a few steps towards him.

His long arms moved toward her, and Jenna’s waist was encircled by his arms. He exerted a little force and Jenna’s light body ended up sitting on his lap. He didn’t use much strength, and Jenna did not resist at all; she sat on his lap obediently.

If her obedience could make him quit smoking, she was willing to.

“Why do you want me to quit smoking?” His big palm stroked her hair and forced her to face him. He spoke with a warm and magnetic voice.

“No special reason. I just think that smoking is bad for your health.” Jenna’s heartbeat quickened. She replied casually, not wanting him to see too much into her; her eyes tried to remain natural.

“You care about me?” He chuckled while looking at her deeply and examining her.

“Yes.” Jenna was straightforward. She generously admitted that the relationship between them had long gone beyond the normal relationship between men and women. Since they had had an intimate physical relationship, why couldn’t she care more about his body? What was there to be embarrassed about it? Besides, he was the only man who broke into her life, so it was normal for her to care about him.

“If you are willing to help me, I will consider it.” After thinking about it, he spoke half-jokingly. Jenna saw his playful smile, but he looked serious so she blurted out, “Are you willing to let me help?”

Hansen’s dark eyes carried deep meaning. He smiled and leaned his head against the back of the chair. He looked at her quietly and asked, “How do you plan to help me?”

Jenna felt embarrassed by his attitude, but she smiled confidently and said loudly, “As long as you are determined to cooperate with me, I will definitely make you quit.”

After speaking, she smiled slyly. Her brows arched and her bright eyes blinked before she smiled, revealing a row of small white teeth. She was indeed a beauty. Hansen’s expression became a bit obsessive and his heart instantly became warm.

“Okay, I’ll cooperate with you.” He almost agreed without even thinking about it, his eyes sparkling.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Okay, let’s do a pinky promise.” For fear that he would regret it, Jenna hurriedly stretched out her hand and placed it in front of Hansen. He smiled and stretched out his palm gently. Jenna did a pinky promise with him quickly. Hansen was a little absent-minded hugging such a beauty in his arms, so he agreed to everything.

Jenna didn’t expect him to agree so quickly, but based on her father’s experience when she was still at home, it was difficult for a man to quit smoking. It required much perseverance.

“Hansen, do you know the reason for me coming to Los Angeles?” After saying this, Jenna thought that she should tell him about work. She asked him quickly since he was in a good mood now. She didn’t want to get the blame for making the decision without informing him.

Hansen smiled and didn’t seem to care about the matter very much. With a soft big palm on her waist, he whispered, “You must have had your reason for doing so. I don’t need to know. Since it’s been handed over to you, I trust you. My style is to always trust the person in the position.”

How nice was he to say this? Jenna couldn’t believe her ears. He did not care? Why was he so upset in the afternoon then? He actually said that he wanted to settle the scores with her!

“Really? You trust me?” Her eyes were shining brightly and she looked up at him, still having doubts in her heart.

“Yeah.” Hansen stared into her eyes and nodded with a smile.

“Then why were you so upset today?” She asked stupidly.

Hansen was really speechless. This woman was really stupid. Couldn’t she tell why he was unhappy?

Hearing that she was sick and had fainted, he hurried over. Didn’t he care about her body? But she was stupid enough to think that he was mad at her. It seemed like their thoughts were indeed too far apart and the gap between them was still very large.

“You really don’t know why I am angry?” His eyes darkened and his face stretched again.

Jenna was a little apprehensive. She had to explain clearly to him about hiring Jersey, so she hurriedly explained.

“Hansen, I offered Jersey Levin a job on behalf of Richards Group. This person has great experience in automobile production. You must value him. He is a rare talent and it’s difficult for us to get such a talent. Trust me, I’m doing this for the sake of Richards Group.”

She sounded very sincere.

Hansen continued to stare at her with a deep gaze.

In the afternoon, Reeva had already told him everything. In order to hire Jersey, she even met him even though she was sick. He was indeed touched.

If it was really for her own business, it was still reasonable for her to do so, but she was doing it for the sake of Richards Group. It was not really her business. Why did she do this?

There was a throbbing in his heart, and a bright light flashed across his eyes. Richards Group hadn’t always been good to her, including him who ignored her at times. However, she still worked so hard, even when she was sick. What feelings caused her to do so much for Richards Group?

If he didn’t know her original intention of working for Richards Group, it might still be reasonable, but now he knew it.

“Don’t worry, I will,” he replied softly. He had heard about Jersey a long time ago and had always wanted to hire him, but because he didn’t know him and he was still in a foreign country, Hansen thought that Jersey would definitely not accept the job offer. Furthermore, he had heard that Jersey was an arrogant person and might not even agree to meet him. Now that Jenna had indeed done him a great favor by inviting Jersey to Richards Group, he appreciated it.

“Jenna, can you tell me why you are working so hard? I don’t think our company deserves your hard work,” Hansen asked with guilt. Ever since Aria tried to commit suicide that night, he left in a hurry and had not seen her again. He didn’t even manage to apologize to her. He thought that she would be mad but instead, it was as if she had long forgotten the matter.

He had been thinking about the choice his grandmother made about his marriage over and over again. Gradually, he felt that she didn’t simply appoint his wife at will. It seemed like she had her intentions in doing so, and his heart was also changing, little by little.

It was just that there were many things that were still unclear, and he needed further clarification.

“Hansen, I did this for Uncle Richards. He’s in this state now because of me.” She lowered her eyes and spoke in a low voice, tears falling down her face, drop by drop, onto his big hand that was holding her body.

Hansen felt that the tears wear scorching hot, and his hands began to tremble.

His hands tightened around her and he hugged her in his arms. He immediately saw the pain in her eyes; it looked so painful. His heart trembled suddenly, and sorrow and grief reached his heart.

This was the first time they were talking about it. It was a topic that widened the gap between them. It was also a thorn in their relationship that could hurt both of them at any moment.

Hansen’s heart became heavier in an instant. Surprisingly, he was no longer agitated or angry about the incident. Finally, he had learned to let it go and to face it calmly.

“Jenna, let the bygones be bygones. It’s already like this, and no one wanted such an outcome,” he said with great difficulty, trying to comfort her, and wiping the tears from her face.

Her tears made his heart twitch.

For this, they had both suffered for so long. Wasn’t it enough?

“No, Hansen.” Jenna suddenly stretched out her arm to hold his waist. She raised her small face, and stared at him directly in the eyes. She was very serious and determined. She said decisively, “Hansen, it really was not me. The incident that happened three years ago really had nothing to do with me. It was already like that when I woke up. I don’t know what happened. Will you believe me?”

She enunciated. Her eyes were full of hope and longing to be accepted by him.

Hansen’s eyes were deep, and his heart felt like it had been cut out. He clasped her head tightly, put her ear to his heart so that she could listen to his heartbeat, and then touched his head to hers. He then said seriously, “Jenna, I believed you a long time ago.”

Believed her a long time ago! Jenna could hardly believe her ears.

He actually believed her, and moreover, he believed her a long time ago.

Was it real?

His tone did not sound like he was joking. The light in his bright eyes was magnanimous and bright, like the starlight in the night, illuminating her heart. She let out a heavy breath, as if she had removed the heavy shackles on her body. She was relieved.

Anyone could misunderstand her, but not Hansen. This was the least she could hope for.

In fact, Hansen did not know when he started believing her; it had happened without him realizing. It was an intuition without any reason. Maybe he started to believe her at his father’s ward that day. Especially when he saw the stained bedsheet, he was even more convinced, but he never told her.

“Silly woman, can’t you feel it? I believed you a long time ago. Otherwise, why would I give you such an important role in the company?” He sighed when he thought of this.

“Jenna, do you have something to tell me?” His face calmed down and he asked slowly. His eyes were a little blurred, but the faint light was sharp.

He wanted to know when she could tell him the truth.

He hoped that she would take the initiative to tell him everything, including her purpose in joining Richards Group. He didn’t like a woman to keep her thoughts from him or ignore him. The feeling was very bad.

He also needed to be trusted.

Hansen’s question seemed careless or even casual, but Jenna felt very heavy. She was not stupid. After knowing each other for so long, he definitely knew her purpose in coming to the company. However, he remained silent and even trusted her with heavy responsibility. Putting aside his doubts for her, he was waiting for her to explain everything to him.

He was a shrewd man and also a man with strong self-esteem.

She didn’t want to hide it from him anymore.

Since he would trust her with so much, she also felt that she should tell him everything.
