Chapter 83
"Look at you. You look so conservative. Don't pretend to be a nun. Do you want to seduce and hook up with more men?" He chuckled and teased her.
Jenna rolled her eyes at him and cursed inwardly, "Hansen, would it kill you if you did not humiliate me for once?"
Although she scolded him in her heart, she did not dare to show it on her face. She just lowered her head and allowed him to lead her outside.
"Can you please look a little lively? Who will want to look at your face if you looked so gloomy?" Hansen was unhappy and dissatisfied.
Jenna was speechless. She had no choice but to lift her head high and force a smile.
As the two of them stepped into the elevator, a few Chinese people smiled at them and whispered in Mandarin: A
couple
of
happiness
husband
and
wife.
When Jenna heard their words, she muttered to herself. What part of them looked like a happy couple? It was evident that she looked awkward because he demanded her to look lively!
She raised her head.
Hansen smiled smugly.
"Why was he smiling?" Her face was slightly flushed.
Below the apartment complex, there was a row of brightly lit shops. Most of the shops there were thriving as laughter filled the air. Couples were all over each other, enjoying the buzzing atmosphere.
Hansen wrapped his arms around Jenna. It made them look like an intimate couple.
An exclusive Rolls- Royce was parked at an eyecatching spot. The owner of the car was wearing a suit as he shoved his hands in his pockets. He looked like a gentleman. He leaned against his car. His well-defined facial features made him look like a generous and noble man.
"Rayan, he's here!" Jenna saw him as soon as she walked out of the elevator. Her heart suddenly raced at the sight of him. "Why was he here? This meant that he probably knew that I was living with Hansen."
Her face began to burn. She wanted to walk over, but Hansen held her tightly by her waist, which limited her movements.
She knew that Rayan noticed them. His face fell at the sight of them together. Jenna felt uncomfortable. She opened her mouth to say something but hesitated.
"Oh look! Your ex is here!" Hansen tightened his grip around her waist, and there was a calm smile on his face. He was not in a bad mood. He was in high spirits, which mirrored his mood ever since they left the house. The expression on his face was like a spring breeze
Jenna felt uncomfortable all over and stared at Rayan with a dull look.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Jen, how are you?" Rayan walked up to her as he completely ignored Hansen. He looked at her and asked, with a concerned look on his face. There was pain and uncertainty in his eyes. Ever since she left so abruptly yesterday morning, he had been a little restless. After thinking for a while, he was even more bewildered about Jenna's words and deeds. He was worried that Hansen was threatening her.
He went over to the Richards Group early this morning to look for Jenna. However, the people there informed him that Jenna did not come to work today, which made him panic. He did not know what was going on with Jenna. The image of her pale face and tear-stricken eyes clouded his head. He was extremely uncomfortable and restless. He managed to track Hansen, and it led him to this place.
Sure enough, it did not take long for him to see them walking down together. They looked very compatible and intimate. It seemed like their current relationship was different than before.
Rayan's heart sank. His face looked bleak.
"Rayan, I..." Jenna felt pressured, but she didn't dare to say anything because Hansen was here. The other day, he had already warned her to draw a line with Rayan. Every time he saw Rayan with her, it would make him furious. Now that he was here, she was petrified.
"Oh, it looks like I am in the way. Please continue." Unexpectedly, Hansen caught on to the situation and said open-mindedly. Jenna then realized that Hansen had already let go of her waist. He had also turned around and walked to one side, allowing them to have a private conversation.
Jenna knew him like the back of her hand. Although he was talking and laughing now and may seem generous, deep down, he was irritated. The more he behaved like this, the more she dared not create any trouble. Her mother's life was in his hands. Even if she was scared to death, she would not dare to do anything stupid. She took a step back and said with some uneasiness, "Rayan, I am fine. Hansen is treating me very well. Don't worry about me."
She said aloud as she peaked at him from the corner of her eyes. Hansen was probably tuning in to their conversation even though he distanced himself from them. She knew that he was pretending to be kind to her, so she deliberately raised her voice so that he could hear clearly. She did not want him to suspect anything. She knew he never trusted her.
"Jenna, can you please tell me what happened? You can trust me. I can help you just as long as you tell me what's going on." Rayan whispered in a soft voice. His words were sincere.
His words touched Jenna. Deep down, she was scared to death. However, even with his power and influence, he would not be able to help her mother.
She shook her head and said softly, "Rayan, you can go. If I need anything, I'll look for you. Please, do not come and find me anymore."
Jenna looked at him with her big, watery eyes, pleading with him. After saying this, she turned around and walked toward Hansen. She stood next to him as if she did so willingly.
Rayan looked at her frail body as she walked away from him. Her beautiful hair was blown into a mess by the autumn wind. She looked very delicate and lonely from behind and he was worried for a moment. In his heart, he felt that she had drifted away from him. It seemed that she would never come back. Hansen held her slender waist as she buried herself in his arms. They looked like they were a match made in heaven. They were the perfect pair, and he had nothing to do with them.
It was not that he didn't want to help her, but she willingly chose him. No complaints, even deceiving him. What could he do? Every time he looked at her pleading eyes, he would be helpless. He didn't know where to start, and he was lost. He couldn't force her like how Hansen forced her.
The disappointment and helplessness that he felt in his heart forced him to get into the Rolls-Royce and drive away.
Hansen was in a surprisingly good mood today. He was proud of Jenna. They looked very intimate, and everyone could tell that they were in a relationship. However, little did they know, their relationship was complicated.
This time, he should be willing to give up.
A knowing smile appeared on Hansen's face. He lowered his head and looked into Jenna's sad eyes. "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy that you got to see your ex? I didn't disturb you, did I?" He said lightheartedly and placed his hand around her waist again.
Jenna glanced at him. Did he know in advance that Rayan was waiting for her downstairs? Was that why he pretended to be so intimate with her and took her downstairs? She found it suspicious that he was in such a good mood today when he looked angry most of the time. The more she thought about it, the more it got on her nerves. However, there was nothing she could do about it.
"What do you want to eat?" He asked mellowly.
Jenna pulled a long face and said, "Will you be willing to bring me to where I want to eat?
"Of course! Just tell me what you want. I'll take you there." He let go of her and was about to walk to the basement parking.
"I don't feel like eating anything." All she wanted to do today was have a good rest. She wasn't interested in anything else.
Jenna glanced at him. Wasn't Hansen going to take her shopping tomorrow? Grandma Richard's birthday was in a few days, and she hadn't figured out what gift to get her. It seemed like tomorrow was going to be a busy day, so she was fine with having anything for dinner tonight. "Let's just grab dinner somewhere close. I'm not that picky. You can choose whatever you want," she uttered.
"You are really easy to please. It seems that you are my perfect match. What's more, I don't need to spend much money to please you." He smiled faintly and made a joke. Jenna rolled her eyes at him.
There was a decent restaurant just around the corner. Hansen brought her into the restaurant. Jenna looked through the menu and made her order. Within minutes after the waiter brought out her food, she devoured it. Hansen did not say anything and just ate his dinner. After that, they went home.
"I'll be heading back to my bedroom now, is that okay?" Jenna shivered at the thought of their activities last night. Furthermore, she had just applied medicine on her wound, so she felt a little uncomfortable. After sitting on the couch for a long time, she was getting a little sleepy. So, she forced a smile and attempted to excuse herself.
"No." Hansen denied her request without hesitation. "What did I say to you the other day?" He looked livid.
That day? Jenna felt a shiver run all over her body. That day, he said that he wanted her to sleep with him every day. Oh my god, every day!
Jenna's heart was thumping against her chest. Not to mention that she was injured. Didn't he know that women would usually feel unwell for a couple of days every month? If every night was like last night, will she be able to walk out of the Collier Manor alive?
It seemed that he had read her mind. The corner of Hansen's mouth twitched, but he stayed silent.
Jenna was helpless. She walked into Hansen's bedroom as if she was risking her life doing so. After a while, she found a set of pajamas that was not too revealing. She quietly went into the bathroom to change. While Hansen was drinking water, she quickly climbed into the bed and swiftly wrapped herself in the quilt.
This pervert was the one who bought all of her clothes. Most of her pajamas were very thin and revealing. She might as well not wear anything at this point. However, her casual clothes were more conservative. Some even covered her until her neck.
She laid on the bed with her eyes closed and buried her head in the quilt. She mentally prepared herself to be tortured by that man again in a moment. She was shaking like a leaf. She felt increasingly uncomfortable as she laid underneath the quilt. Her face and ears were all red.
Soon after, she heard the sound of Hansen's footsteps. After a while, he switched off the bedroom lights, leaving only the nightlight on. The dim warm light was shining in the bedroom, which made the atmosphere slightly romantic. Jenna was wondering what kind of wicked guy had designed those lights, when even sleeping had to be so sensual.
When she heard the sound of Hansen taking off his clothes, she clutched the quilt to the front of her chest more tightly, trembling with fear.
Suddenly, she felt a rush of cooling air on her back. Soon, she felt his warm body approaching hers. He wrapped his strong hands around her and hugged her. Jenna's body went stiff as she heard his rapid breathing. Her heart was beating fast. The only thing she hoped for was that he would be gentle.
