Aria thought that he must still blame her. The thought of Jenna being the mastermind behind everything made her even angrier. However, it was also true that she was at fault in the first place. She was even more reluctant to accept the fact that her efforts all these years were all in vain. At the moment, she could not help but stand there looking at Hansen's handsome face in a daze and her eyes were filled with tears.
"By the way, how is the film preparation going?" Perhaps, in order to take care of her feelings, Hansen changed the topic at the right time.
These words got her thinking, and she still didn't understand Hansen's true intention of sending her into the entertainment industry.
Her beautiful and silent face had a pair of eyes that were full of resentment. After a long time, she said in a low voice: "Fortunately, the shooting is about to start, but..."
"That's great, behave well and show everything you've got. Don't let down my high expectations of you. I believe in you," Hansen continued without waiting for her to finish and encouraged her.
Obviously, he didn't want to talk too much about anything else other than this topic.
Jenna was walking upstairs ahead of Hansen and their conversation fell on her ears. She stopped involuntarily. In fact, she was not interested in their chat, and she didn't even want to listen to their conversation. She knew Aria's intentions better than anyone else. Aria just wanted to be with Hansen and to get his affections.
Since they moved into Richard's manor at the same time, she had been thinking about ways to pester Hansen all the time, not letting go of any chances.
And now, the conspiracy that framed Jenna three year ago had recently been exposed, and it was not difficult to imagine Aria's emotions now.
Jenna didn't want to beg for a man's love like other women would have done. She stopped walking because she wanted to tell Hansen, "Go accompany her."
However, the picture of them lingering in the hot springs the past few days kept flashing across her mind, and even her body still had his smell. It was so overpowering that it overtook her ability to speak that sentence to Hansen.
A heartbreaking pain came out of nowhere and her heart was not feeling comfortable at the thought of her pushing the man she loved the most into another woman's arms. Suddenly, she realized that she was actually not that noble.
Jenna's throat tightened immediately, and she started to walk up again. If she couldn't tell, then she should run away.
Unexpectedly, a long arm reached over and held onto her waist. Instantly, she could not move anymore.
"Wait for me." Although Hansen was speaking to Aria, his eyes had never left Jenna. He knew that this woman would be jealous and she was just pretending to be noble and indifferent. He knew her strong self- esteem. Although she found the ambiguous relationship between him and Aria repulsive, she looked indifferent on the surface.
It was also that these days, he felt something staying at Richard's Manor. He had to admit that he hadn't really cared about her before, and he didn't even want to see Jenna appear in Richards Manor. Now, he started to notice her and found her feelings very delicate. She could have mixed emotions at times, but her mind was never exposed. Even if she had an idea, she would not speak her mind.
This woman only liked to save face.
From the corner of her eyes, he saw Jenna's face flush and her back was a little stiff. She lowered her head and was about to walk up alone, but her ears were wide open and listening to their conversation. He smiled secretly and stretched out his hand to hold her.
He became weirder, and the more he noticed her, the more he would realize that she was like a bottomless well, dark and far- reaching. He really wanted to figure out what was inside.
The more he guessed, the more curious he became, and he gradually realized that as long as her figure left his sight, his heart would be empty, and he would be uneasy.
Hansen could not believe that he became like this because of her. He initially thought that he was greedy for her body, but now her every move strongly attracted his attention. Jenna's beautiful figure was also like opium poppy that made him addicted, so much so that he could no longer control himself.
Jenna had to stand firm.
She was forced to stand still.
Jenna would never believe that he would abandon Aria and take the initiative to show his favor to her.
For so many days, whenever Aria pestered him, he never refused. He would even have a playful smile on his face, as if he really enjoyed it.
And what upset Jenna even more was that every time when she peeked at him, she would realize that he was also peeping at her.
She almost thought that he was deliberately antagonizing her, but apart from secretly looking at her, his intimacy with Aria could not be faked easily. It was obvious that he was enjoying Aria's presence.
What a playboy!
For so many years, there had been rumors about him, that there would always be different beauties surrounding him. She, as his wife, was just a decoration before this. It got only worse after they divorced.
All men were eager to have three wives and four girlfriends. The more women, the merrier, especially for an excellent man like Hansen. He could get as many girlfriends as he liked right now, as long as he was willing.
However, Jenna had already thought about it, and she couldn't possibly become his concubine or his plaything. As long as the time was right, she would withdraw herself. She would not cherish a man who didn't know how to value her at all.
The day before, she proved her innocence, and she could not tell how surprised Hansen was at it all. A man's physical request of a woman was purely for excitement and venting. There were no real feelings at all. Jenna was not a fool and she knew it. She would also not involve herself in any boring relationships anymore.
