Getting My Ex-wife Back

“I don’t care, you have to give me a satisfactory answer today no matter what,” Earl didn’t care about his thoughts and said coldly. He was not an easy person to bully. He fell silent after speaking and sat on the sofa.

Boy, if you need time to think about it silently, well, I’ll wait for you!

“I wonder what kind of answer you want.” After only thinking for a while, Hansen spoke and narrowed his eyes calmly, “Uncle McAdams, you know that I am a descendant of the Richards family, and my grandmother is still alive. If you insist on me marrying Aria, she can only be a concubine. Are you willing to compromise on that?”

Earl’s ears moved. Concubine? Was Hansen treating his daughter like a beggar?

It was absolutely unacceptable!

“Hansen, do you think I am a fool? You are already divorced. You can marry my daughter as your legal wife, not a concubine. Do you think you are still living in ancient times and still care about these things? I am a government official. In my eyes, ancestral tablets, genealogy, are all nonsense. As long as two people are registered in marriage under the law, they are husband and wife. Don’t mention these nonsense to me. You think this is still a feudal society and you can have wives and concubines? Let me tell you, it doesn’t work for me here. If you and Aria are registered, then she is your legal wife. That’s it. It isn’t up to you now to choose to marry her or not,” Earl’s face was stern as he solemnly declared.

That was very harsh, and the light in Hansen’s eyes twinkled.

“Uncle McAdams, I respect you, but I didn’t expect you to describe the ancestral tablet of our Richards family and the genealogy as a mess. I really didn’t expect a dignified mayor to disrespect ancestors and the culture of the citizens like this. If this is the case, then I’m sorry. I really can’t marry your daughter.” Hansen was very indignant at Earl’s words in insulting his ancestors. He had originally despised Earl for taking revenge on him for his personal reasons regarding Green Mountain Lake. After hearing such sullen words again today, the sorry feeling Hansen had for him completely disappeared.

What Hansen hated most was being threatened. He did not care about the person who threatened him, no matter how powerful that person was.

The atmosphere there was like a turbulent sea with surging undercurrents.

The tension between them rose instantly.

Hansen stood up slowly and looked at Earl condescendingly. He fixed his gaze on his glasses. Although Hansen couldn’t see the dark light behind the glasses, he still wasn’t afraid of it.

Earl’s crossed legs stopped shaking slightly and he straightened his back.

“Uncle McAdams, do we have to make things difficult for both of us?” He asked every word as gently as possible, but the light in his eyes was fearless.

“Hansen, you have to be clear. Who is making things difficult now?” Even though Earl was not scared of Hansen, there was an inexplicable guilty conscience appearing in his heart after he was forced to answer Hansen’s question like that. He seemed to become the bully who was forcing them to marry.

And his daughter was like a cheap commodity that was returned, which made the flame in his heart soar instantly and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Earl slowly took off his glasses and took out a soft cloth from his pocket to wipe them gently. He calmed down a little after a long time; then he put his glasses on again. After that, he stood up and spoke.

“You can’t be reckless and impulsive in anything. It is good to have courage, but you should know your own ability too. I appreciate your talents and that’s why I cherish you like a precious treasure. However, it does not mean that you can keep on challenging my patience.”

Saying this, Earl walked a few steps forward, patted Hansen on the shoulder, and said sincerely, “Hansen, everyone has been young before. It is forgivable for a man to make a mistake sometimes. But you should know your responsibility and know what to do. None of the excuses are real reasons. We are all living in a highly materialistic society, and I just want to see the results.”

Earl rubbed Hansen’s sturdy shoulder with his fair chubby hand and spoke.

“I did not call you here today to discuss how to solve your problem with Aria. What I wanted to ask is, when is your wedding with Aria to be scheduled? She is pregnant now and can’t wait for you to hesitate. We don’t want to wait any longer either. I will solemnly tell you: You must provide the date of marriage within one month, otherwise, I will tell the media about the scandals you have done. Although you are smart and know how to avoid it, please don’t forget that I am never easy to bully. This is not a small matter. Aria is my only daughter and you should know that parents will do everything for their children.”

Earl almost finished these words with a smile, and he spoke it at a slow pace with his clear voice. However, his tone and the arrogance from his body were all showing his attitude now. His pride was obvious and he would do anything regardless of the cost.

Obviously, Earl couldn’t hold back his temper anymore, and he was angry.

This was related to the happiness of his daughter. He had never been soft-hearted. If his daughter couldn’t get happiness in the future, then what was the point of him being a highly ranked government official?

Hansen stood stiff. His face was dull and he could feel the pressure given by Earl in the atmosphere. Then he squeezed his hand, and stared at the snowflakes outside the window. All he was thinking about in his mind was Jenna’s silhouette.

Earl put on his coat and left calmly.

He left with some unfathomable emotions on his face and a cold smile.

He understood that it was not time to turn against Hansen now. Deterrence was always far greater than the effect of turning hostile on Hansen. After all, it was a relationship issue, and handling a relationship issue was much easier than a civil case.

Hansen closed his eyes and stood there without moving, knowing better than anyone else that Earl was only here to give a warning that day. By now, all the news media still did not know about Aria’s pregnancy yet. This was probably his strategy. He said he would tell all the news media about his scandal if the time came.

Hansen couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he thought of this. The smile was extremely sad and pitiful.

This was only a reminder from him. How could it be possible that Earl would simply let him go like this?

At Cheldar Club.

Floral wallpaper that was soft and elegant gave off a relaxed and comfortable feeling to the visitors.

When Hansen stepped into the luxuriously decorated room of the clubhouse, the handsome face of a young man immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

“Hansen, you’re finally here,” the man said as he stood up, smiled heartily, and walked toward Hansen.

He was wearing a grey coat with a turtleneck sweater covering his long neck. It made his stalwart figure look great and tall. His face would definitely attract a lot of women and make them fall in love with him.

“Mr. Matthews, welcome to A city. It’s a pleasure to meet you here,” Hansen also smiled heartily and said.

“Hansen, we haven’t seen each other in two years.” Christopher Matthews shook hands with Hansen. Then, he reached out and hugged him affectionately.

“It’s an honour that you still remember me,” Hansen said lightly.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Christopher smiled helplessly and replied, “Hansen, can you stop?”

“No, I can’t afford to offend you,” Hansen said while pretending to be scared.

“Hansen, stop embarrassing me,” after the two of them seated separately, Christopher said with a little regret. “It has been so long since we last met during the election campaign in Capital City. I always wanted to come back to A City to see you, but you know that I couldn’t, right?”

Hansen sighed, agreeing with a smile and continued, “You’re now holding an important position and working hard to contribute to the country and the people. Unlike me, who’s just working to support my family and myself. So, of course, I can sympathize and understand your busyness, and would absolutely support you as always.”

These words made Christopher so embarrassed that he immediately replied while gritting his teeth, “Hansen, you’re still as mean as before and wouldn’t give up the chance to tease someone. I really don’t know how Jenna could endure you all these years!”

Four years ago, Christopher attended Hansen and Jenna’s wedding, and then he went to Capital City later. Two years ago, he participated in the election for the director of the Public Security Department. Hansen personally went to the Capital City to support him and canvas the voters. Christopher remembered all of these.

Speaking of Jenna, Christopher’s eyes were full of envy, and he said bitterly, “You are so lucky to have such a good wife. You should cherish her.”

Hansen’s heart twitched, and a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Christopher and Hansen were schoolmates back in C University. They were even classmates who were in the batch before Jenna, but they both had a deep impression of Jenna. Christopher was the only one who knew that Hansen liked Jenna at that time.

Back then, Christopher also had the intention of chasing Jenna, but once the three of them met on a garden path of the campus, he clearly saw that Jenna’s crystal clear eyes were gazing at Hansen’s face, her gaze full of dazzling light. It was definitely not ordinary. Instead, there was a touch of shyness and tenderness of a young girl in it. Of course, a smart person like Christopher understood the special meaning contained in her eyes.

From that moment onwards, he knew that he had no chance of winning if he chased Jenna, and he would never ever be the third party in a relationship.

“Why do I think that your words are so ironic?” Hansen said jokingly. He knew that Christopher didn’t understand his marriage life now and he didn’t plan to tell him in detail either.

Christopher laughed. “No matter how ironic it is, I can’t possibly have any intentions for Jenna, right?”

“Boy, let’s go straight to the point. Why did you come to A City? Do you need me to do anything for you?” Hansen laughed and then asked bluntly. Hansen had never been too courteous to Christopher. He liked to be sarcastic or ironic in front of him, because after all, they had been good friends for so many years.

“If you really want me to tell you the purpose of me coming here, this purpose has something to do with you,” Christopher laughed and finally went to the point. “I heard that you are investigating Javon’s case?”

Sure enough, Hansen was secretly surprised by the severity of this case, now that the director of the Public Security Department of Capital CIty was involved in it too. Soon, he felt annoyed thinking of this.
