Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Hannah, let me figure it out by myself. Please, I’m only staying at your house for a few days. Please.” Jenna hugged Hannah desperately as tears streamed down her face.

Hannah could not bear seeing her in so much pain. Sighing, she stomped her feet and said, “Well, since you have decided to protect that b*stard, I have no choice but to let him go. But I’m warning you, this is no small matter. You must think it through, otherwise, you’ll regret it for a lifetime.”

“Yes, thank you so much. I will think it through,” Jenna agreed, still tearing up.

Hannah took a deep sigh. She helped Jenna onto the iron bench and solemnly asked, “Jenna, tell me the truth, is the child in your stomach Hansen’s? Don’t lie to me.”

Hannah stared at her. Jenna and she grew up together, they were basically each other’s reflection in a mirror. They were so similar that they knew what the other had on their mind without needing words. Even though she was certain that it was Hansen’s, she wanted to confirm with her.

Jenna bit her lips tightly. Her bitter tears reached the corner of her mouth and fell on her hands. She knew that she could never pretend in front of Hannah. After a long time, she said in a low voice, “Hannah, if I tell you, you have to promise me that you won’t interfere. I’ll solve my own problems.”

Hannah was terribly anxious for her but she also knew that she was stubborn. This was Jenna’s private matter and she was just a friend. If Jenna disagreed, who was she to step in?

At that moment, she exhaled and nodded.

Jenna looked at her friend who promised her immediately. She did not want to hide from Hannah either. She nodded her head. “Hannah, I didn’t think I would get pregnant. I never thought of it. But, I had never been with any other man apart from Hansen. Who do you think the father is?”

It was as Hannah expected. She gulped down her disappointment and smiled bitterly.

“Hannah, please, just pretend you don’t know. Don’t tell Hansen or anyone. I don’t want anyone to know about this for the time being,” Jenna pleaded, her thoughts starting to clear up.

Hannah was puzzled by her decision.

“Jenna, why are you doing this?” Hannah questioned her, “You’re no Mother Mary, you can’t hide it forever. You’re pregnant for more than a month now. In one or two months, your belly will grow bigger. How can you hide this by then? Eventually, everyone will find out and you’re the one who will suffer. You know how rumors can ruin someone’s life! People will look down on you for getting pregnant before marriage. This is unless Hansen takes responsibility for you. Please think about this carefully, this is serious.”

Hannah’s words stung Jenna’s heart. In an instant, she was so hurt that she shivered and her stomach began acting up again. She bit her lips hard until they were pale but she still could not utter a word.

“Tell me, what happened between you and Hansen?” Hannah was perturbed looking at Jenna and she pressed further for answers.

She knew that Hansen was a high and mighty young master with quite the temper. He was also a jerk towards Jenna in their relationship. Despite that, no matter the circumstances, a man of a prestigious family would not get women pregnant this easily unless Hansen had wanted to!

Jenna had been together with Hansen for so long. It was expected that she would get pregnant but what confused Hannah was that she did not want to tell him. It did not make sense to her!

“Hannah, please, don’t force me. This is my problem, I will deal with it. Please keep your promise and don’t tell anyone, including Hansen and my mother. I’ll be grateful if you did,” Jenna wiped away her tears and said decisively.

Hannah had no other options. She could have figured Jenna out in the past, but this time around, no matter how she had thought about the matter, she could not understand Jenna’s intention.

However, it was not her place to question Jenna. If she had continued to force Jenna, she would be crossing the line. At the time being, she could only agree with her.

“Fine Jenna, you win. I surrender. I won’t meddle in your business from now on and I don’t want to care anymore,” Hannah said. She was a bit mad at the fact that Jenna had tossed her kindness aside as if it were nothing!

What could she do if Jenna insisted to keep it a secret? No one could change another person’s personality, even if they were best friends.

“Hannah, I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad at me.” Jenna grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. Guilt was piling up in her heart and she said softly, “I know I have let you down. You can despise me as much as you like.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Hannah with pleading eyes and begged for her forgiveness.

Hannah could not accept that Jenna, whose beauty rivaled the goddesses once upon a time, had turned into this. Her face was colored with a shade of unhealthy yellow and she looked so pale. Furthermore, she was looking all pitiful at her. This was her best friend. She sighed and helped her to stand, “Let’s go home now. Follow the doctor’s instructions and take your medicine.”

Jenna lowered her head. She was ashamed of herself.

Hannah shook her head. She could not dismiss her worrying feelings,= and she spoke again, “Jenna. I’ll take my hands off this but you have to remember my words. If there really is no way, get rid of the child as soon as possible. It’s not too late. But of course, if you still love Hansen and want to be with him forever, he hasn’t remarried yet. Go fight for your own happiness, get him back. He must take responsibility for his doings. Call me if you need me. I have some connections that would come in handy. Although I can’t make someone famous, it’s not hard to ruin one’s reputation. This is a serious matter. Don’t be confused or hesitant. In the end, you will hurt yourself.”

She said through gritted teeth, “If you let yourself down, I’ll end our relationship too. I don’t want to befriend someone who can’t even make up her mind, who doesn’t know right from wrong.”

Hannah’s words were painful but they were the truth.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Tears welled up in Jenna’s eyes. She struggled to stand up and hugged her while saying, “Hannah, it is my honor to have a friend like you. Don’t worry, I’ll find a way out of this. I know this is no light matter and I won’t be foolish. Please don’t give up on me.”

Hannah laughed when she heard her words. She caressed her hand and smiled. “Jenna, you will always be my best friend. I’m just worried about you. Don’t blame me for nagging.”

“Of course not, I understand your intentions. The luckiest thing that happened in my life is to have a close friend like you.” Jenna sobbed.

Hannah steadied her and said in a heavy voice, “Let’s go now, silly woman.”

Jenna smiled bitterly. “Hannah, even you think I’m stupid.”

“I told you that the IQ of a woman in love is zero. You are so exceptional, I’d say it’s a negative value for your case. Love is nothing good. Fortunately, I am wise enough to not fall in love.”

Hannah ragged on Jenna’s relationship. Concluding from valuable experience, she was grateful that she was not as foolish as her.

Jenna was in a bad mood and did not want to argue with her. Besides that, she herself agreed with everything Hannah had said. What was there to argue about?

The snow finally stopped but the sky was still gloomy. Jenna felt even more vulnerable under the cold.

After Hannah sent her to the villa, she nagged her for a few more minutes. She had no choice but to leave as she was bombarded with phone calls from the cafeteria.

Jenna shoved her hand into the pocket of her coat and covered her head with its hood. She had wrapped herself tightly in the warmth of the coat but she was still dazed. She walked slowly with her head down.

As she took a turn to enter the front door of the villa, she halted in her steps. A pair of shiny, expensive leather shoes and royal blue trousers entered her field of vision. She raised her head.

Dressed in a decent suit, his once impeccable hair was in mess and his handsome face appeared in front of her.

Hansen Richards.

Jenna was at a loss for words.

She stood woodenly, unable to move. He had come all the way here to find her.

Hansen was silent like an ice sculpture. He looked at Jenna with a solemn expression on his face but his eyes were shining, looking bright and gentle. The cold wind that blew by made his hair messier than before.

He was towering over her and his strong build seemed to bring her unique tranquility. Her heart trembled.

She could not completely forget about him, not before, not now, not ever in the future. She was uncontrollably in love. It was love that dominated her and gave her the urge to rush into his arms. She did not care if they would have no future. She did not care about the consequences.

However, the consequences were too harsh this time and Jenna could no longer afford to bear the unbearable.

It was time to end their relationship. It would not do either of them any good if this mess continued.

Her longing gaze held his face for a moment more before she snapped out of it. Immediately, her face turned into a mask of indifference.

Hansen looked at her, unmoving. He had been with countless women before but never had he fallen for a woman with his entire heart and soul like this. She was his only one. He knew deep down that there would never be anyone else. Ever since he laid his eyes on her back in college, she had unknowingly claimed his heart. Although he had been a jerk to her, he finally understood his feelings for her.

But, when he realized what his heart desired and made up his mind to cherish her all his life, everything had changed.

Would fate really be so cruel to tear them apart?

Would this be the end of them?

He had once heard people say that the end of a story was the beginning of another. He did not want them to end. If this was the end, he would make sure they start all over again.

When she first set her gaze on him, he could see starlight in her eyes. In a blink of an eye, she turned as cold as iron, her pale face under the purple hood breathtakingly beautiful. She looked so frail that it broke his heart. He remembered the cheerful smile of hers that made her seem like a sunflower. She was still that flower but she had gone through the harsh winter, with distrust and wounds on her. She was still beautiful but without an ounce of energy.

This was the woman he loved!

Jenna had been married to him for four years and was still by his side even until this moment. How had she become this way? He was a failure indeed.

Hansen had stayed awake for the entirety of the night before, recalling their relationship over the past few years.

He only knew one thing; he could not lose her!

Her misty eyes used to sparkle like spring water. The light that once shone in them were gradually extinguished, turning into dead ashes. They were now reserved and icy as if she had made up her mind to leave him.

This made him terrified.

He had made a mistake, an unforgivable mistake.

How could he make up for it? He did not know how to plead for her forgiveness but he knew he could not lose her. At this moment, he only wanted to keep her by his side, even if it meant that he would have to hold her down by force.
