After the door was closed, Raeleigh looked at the two people sitting down in front of her. Jenna immediately whined, "Xanthos is Raeleigh's brother. How can you be so bossy? You are truly hopeless!"
"I was already polite enough, you see. Raeleigh is my daughter-in-law, which makes her brother our family. I'm only asking him to lend a hand with family matters."
Hansen's words held another meaning. Raeleigh knew very well that he was making a statement, that come what may, they had already acknowledged her as their daughter- in- law. It was an immutable fact.
But Raeleigh always felt like this was all a joke. The entire Richards family was in a train wreck because of a woman, and she was the culprit.
But that was not a good time for her to speak up. She didn't want them to think that she was turning down their favor, so Raeleigh didn't say anything.
The room became quiet. Raeleigh was nodding off. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Relieved, Jenna looked at her husband. "Are you sleepy? If you are, then you can take a rest first."
"Nonsense!"
Hansen's face darkened. She wanted him to rest in his daughter-in-law's room?
Jenna, on the contrary, did not understand what was going on. She looked at her husband and asked, "What's with you? Why did you lose your temper? Did you hurt yourself when you were fighting?"
Jenna went over and sat down close to her husband. Over the years, Hansen had always loved her more than anyone else and she, too, had always doted on him. If not, then it would have been impossible that she had never quarreled with him for all these years.
Jenna looked at Hansen lovingly and checked him for injuries. In fact, Hansen hadn't moved a finger when he was outside, so he wasn't hurt. In fact, It was Santiago who had held his own in the fight.
Hansen was actually quite offended. When Santiago had fought just then, Xanthus had no intention to help at all. He had been standing at the door of the ward, relishing the fight.
After all, that was his son, but Xanthus did not intend to help him at all. Of course he was angry.
But this was not the point. What triggered him was Jenna telling him to rest in his daughter-in-law's room. What was this if not a joke?
What was more annoying was that his daughter-in-law didn't understand what he was trying to imply.
Hansen stood up and said, "I'm going over to the other side."
"Why?"
Jenna's face was full of surprise, and her big eyes were more attractive. Hansen felt his desire aroused. But this was Raeleigh's ward, so he had to control his urges.
"Let's go. We'll go over there and get some rest. Leave this to Santiago. I will talk to my mother tomorrow." Hansen was very displeased with what had happened that day. He did not expect his mother to be so extreme. It was too surprising.
Jenna saw that Hansen was really angry, so she concurred. She did not leave immediately with him but left his arms and turned around to take a look at Raeleigh. She could not bear to disturb her, so she wrote a note for Raeleigh saying that they did not leave and were next door.
Jenna always had pen and paper on her, a habit from when she had to draft down every design of a car whenever inspiration struck her.
However, that time, she had lost her pen and paper several times during the trip. If it was not misplaced, then it was because they had been forcefully taken away by Hansen as she was not allowed to think about work.
Jenna turned around and followed Hansen out. As she walked, she asked with concern, "Are you really unharmed?"
"Yes. Let's go." After leaving the ward, Hansen hugged his beloved wife even tighter. He was afraid that someone would take her away. His love for her had been the same all these years.
