Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Hold on,” Rayan walked quickly and caught up with Hansen. He stared at Hansen sternly, “I don’t care about what you said to Jen and what tricks you used. Since she chose you, I will respect her choice. However, if you cause her any trouble and make her suffer any grievance in the next three days, I will not let you go.”

“I see,” Hansen laughed and turned to Jenna and asked, “Ms. Murphy, could you tell Mr. Whalen if I’ve forced you?”

The colour drained from Jenna’s face. She forced a smile at Rayan and said, “Brother Rayan, it’s my own choice. It’s none of his business.”

She looked at Rayan with pleading eyes and shook her head.

Rayan saw that there was nothing more he could say. He reminded again, “Jen, if he bullies you, be sure to call me right away and I’ll be right over.”

“Thank you, Brother Rayan,” Jenna smiled sweetly at him and nodded.

Hansen walked away first. When walking past Rayan, he quietly moved aside, with a confident smile on his face, showing that he was much more accomplished.

“Then we’ll see each other in three days,” Rayan was full of helplessness and was reluctant to part with her. He felt that he could only be strong and energetic when he’s with her. He just wanted to keep her in his sight. However, she had left with the arrogant Hansen and he felt extremely uncomfortable with that.

If it weren’t for Jenna’s sake and the pitiful look on her pale little face, he would have taught Hansen a good lesson. Hansen’s means were extraordinarily wicked.

“Remember, you have to follow me and listen to my instructions in the next three days. Otherwise, don’t blame me for whatever happens. Also, don’t think that you can do whatever you want with Rayan’s backing. It’s useless. He is just a nobody. If he dares to provoke me, who knows what may happen to him. Also, I must win against the other couples in this event,” Hansen declared to Jenna with absolute confidence, after reaching an open space on the island.

Jenna stared at the arrogant Hansen with her eyes wide open. There was nothing she could do. After all, she was always at a disadvantage in front of him. He had always been in charge of everything. What else could she do except to obey him?

She roughly knew that during these three days, they had to go over three islands. Each island had a checkpoint they had to go through. After reaching the checkpoints, there would be food and accommodation that they had to find by themselves. If they wanted to return to the starting point after three days, they had to complete the challenges within two days and spend the last day heading back to the starting point.

The three islands were closely connected. They were verdant and lush with greenery and trees. The island had been developed by Hansen and all kinds of road signs had been set up, even the main road was concrete. There were a lot of fruit trees planted on the island, and many small animals were raised, including some wild birds flying above the sea. Walking along the road, there was the aromatic scent of the sea and plants which made them feel relaxed.

The helicopter hovered in the sky from time to time. It was ready to come down to the island at any time to rescue any tourists who set off flares.

Only Hansen, a freak, could come up with such a wonderful entertainment project.

Although Jenna didn’t agree with him on the surface, she was actually amazed.

She stole a glance at him and saw that he was rolling up his sleeves and also his trousers. It seemed that he was getting ready to move.

“First, we will have to climb over that mountain to reach the other side of the island. Remember that there will be equipment needed to go through to the second island along the way. As you climb, watch carefully for places with little yellow flags. There are five of them, but only one of them is real. The other ones are distractions.”

He explained as he instructed.

Jenna looked at the first island. There was a mountain which wasn’t that high. However, the road was winding and there were rocks blocking the way. There was barely a path to walk through. She could not help saying, “Isn’t this just for fun? Obviously, there is a way around the mountain. Why would you want to climb the mountain?”

Hansen’s face darkened as he rolled his eyes, “Didn’t I say that you should listen to my command? Although it’s just for fun, we should follow the rules while enjoying ourselves. Otherwise, why did we come to the middle of the sea? Isn’t it better to walk on the streets? Also, this is a competition. It will be way slower to walk around the mountain. Besides, the little yellow flags are on the mountain.”

Jenna thought Hansen had a point and did not say anything more. However, looking at the mountain road full of thorns and rocks, she was in a state of shock. This d*mned Hansen did not tell her that they would be going for an expedition. She was in her high heels. How could she climb the mountain?

“Hey, shouldn’t you be the one carrying these things?” She shouted grumpily. Of all the pairs, the men were the ones who took things, but when it came to their pair, Jenna was the one who took things. She felt aggrieved.

Hansen looked at her from top to bottom with an evil smile on his face, “You deserve to suffer for dressing like this. Let me tell you, this is a punishment for not knowing what’s good for you. You must carry it. Be smart and flatter me for the next three days. If I am happy, maybe I will make your life easier. If you can, just call Rayan and see who is more powerful.”

At that point, he was getting carried away, whistling softly and climbing up the mountain. His footsteps were light and his pace was fast.

“B*stard, how could you bully a woman!” Jenna picked up a stone and threw it at him. The stone hit Hansen right on the back, and a black dot suddenly appeared on his white shirt.

Hansen didn’t expect that Jenna would dare to sneak up on him. He couldn’t help but be angry. He turned around and saw Jenna crouching on the ground. Her shoulders were shaking and her face was buried in front of her chest. For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether she was crying or laughing.

“Hey, how dare you sneak up on me, you are dead meat,” he cursed angrily, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. He didn’t know what’s wrong with her. She was already behaving like that before they started climbing the mountain. If they were like that for the next three days, it would be a miserable adventure. Everyone would also think that he was bullying her.

He turned around and squatted down. He saw that her shoulders were shaking and she was breathing heavily. Thinking of the scene of her crying in the hospital, he felt nervous. She was crying because of such a small matter. He was the one who was attacked but she was the one crying. It was really preposterous.

He grabbed the things from her hand, looking annoyed, “Forget it, I’ll take it, lest people say I’m bullying a woman.”

Jenna’s shoulders trembled even harder.

“Hey, get up, let’s climb up quickly. Don’t push your luck. Even my patience has a limit. No matter what activities I take part in, I will only win, not lose. Don’t you drag me down, or I’ll make you pay,” Hansen threatened her and leaned over to pull her up.

“Hehe,” Hansen pulled Jenna up and she had to raise her head. Hearing her laughter, Hansen looked at her suspiciously. Her eyebrows were curved and her smile was bright. Her face was flushed from holding back her laugh. Even her ears were red and she was breathing hard. Hansen stared at her and was so dazed by her charm that he even forgot that he was angry.

Jenna took the opportunity to shake him off and climb up the mountain.

By the time Hansen came back to his senses, she had already been climbing for a while. She was not a spoilt lady. When she was young, her father often brought her for climbing and hiking activities. Although she was in her high heels, it was easy for her to scale the mountain.

Seeing her willowy figure moving forward gracefully step by step with her slender waist and her light steps, Hansen’s heart began beating rapidly.

“You d*mned woman,” Hansen cursed and chased after her.

The two of them chased after each other all the way and soon traveled quite a distance.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Hey, woman, look out for the yellow flags by the road. We need the tools for the second island,” Hansen reminded her when he saw the yellow flag.

However, Jenna didn’t even look at him and just kept moving forward.

Hansen was so frustrated that he grabbed the things and searched for the yellow flags alone. However, he couldn’t find any tools after a few attempts and had to go back in low spirits. He saw Jenna sitting on a rock, holding a banana leaf in her hand and fanning herself. The smile on her face was somewhat mocking, disdainful, and contemptuous.

“Hey, what is the meaning of this?” Hansen was very displeased and asked with a cold face.

“Nothing. I’m just laughing at your stupidity!” Jenna raised her head slightly and smiled brightly with her face flushed after the heavy exercise.

“How dare you say I’m stupid?” Hansen had never been treated with such contempt. Now, he was being ridiculed by the annoying woman. Of course, he would not accept it.

“Tsk. Every man has a fool in his sleeve,” Jenna continued to deride him, “Can’t you see that the yellow flags in front of you are the same?”

When Hansen thought about it, they were indeed the same. Of course, the yellow flags were all the same. What was so strange about that?

“That’s why I said you’re stupid,” Jenna suddenly jumped down and walked toward a dense bush. After a while, she waved at him with a yellow flag in her hand. Hansen was stunned and walked over to her.

There was a small, black wooden box on the ground. He quickly squatted down and looked at it, only to find that the box was locked. Just when he was frustrated, Jenna threw a key at him.

Hansen tried opening the box with the key. Sure enough, the wooden box was opened. Inside the box were a key, a pair of pliers, and some rope. He was overjoyed. He raised his head and asked unwillingly, “You didn’t even look around. How did you know that it was here?”

“Who said I wasn’t looking?” Jenna glanced at him, “I saw it a long time ago but once I saw that you found nothing after the first one, I knew that the others would be the same.”

“Is that so? Why?”

“It’s obvious! They all have the same marking, so they must not be the right one. But this yellow flag is different. The marking on it is a circle, and the key is tied to the flagpole.”

Jenna explained confidently. Hansen was suddenly enlightened and cheered in his heart.

“I didn’t expect you to be so observant. Not bad, very smart,” Hansen nodded, and there was a faint smile of approval in his eyes. It was a sincere, natural compliment that came from the depths of his heart.

Jenna was delighted to hear that. It was not easy to win Hansen’s praises!

The smile on her face was cozy and even a little smug.

“Hurry up, we have to make it to the other island before dark, otherwise we’ll have to sleep out in the open,” Hansen looked at Jenna who was a little proud, and was influenced by her bright smile. Suddenly he felt that he would actually like to see her smile more. He was pleased to see her smile so brightly when she was with him.

He was secretly shocked. Since when did he care about her smile?

He continued to climb forward. The road ahead was more difficult than before. Since Jenna was wearing high heels, it was even harder for her to climb up the mountain.
