However, at this time, Zoey was staring at her with a pair of innocent eyes; her face was full of sincerity that Jenna could not refuse.
Jenna was really unwilling in her heart so she tried to force a smile and said, "Zoey, I'm not good at giving comments, and I'm also busy with something else. You can ask Mr. Richards to go with you."
Although she spoke in a low voice, her answer was straightforward enough, making it clear that she was refusing.
"Jenna, please accompany me, OK? I want to buy some beautiful clothes. I heard from Hansen that you were in this country for three years. You must know which places sell beautiful clothes, and your clothes are also very beautiful. Will you please accompany me?" Zoey actually stood up and walked toward her, shaking her arm while begging her.
Jenna was at a loss now and thought about it. Would Hansen want her to be the third wheel to the both of them?
He would be unhappy if she did so.
Looking up, facing Hansen's faint eyes, he seemed to agree with Zoey too, and he didn't seem to mind her being the third wheel.
Seeing Zoey beg her, she had no choice but to nod her head and agree. However, her gaze at Hansen was with somewhat hatred.
He was the one that wanted to date her, but he asked Jenna to go along and made her feel uncomfortable. He could actually speak up and ask her not to go, but he chose to keep quiet and not say anything. He was indeed hateful.
After dinner, Jenna drank a glass of water, sat for a while, then went back to the room. She took a shower and went to bed really early.
Hansen and Zoey were still playing games in the living room and their laughter could be heard from time to time. They seemed to be having a fun time together.
Jenna buried her head in the quilt and didn't want to hear their laughter. However, their laughter was so loud and joyful, it was as if they did it on purpose so that she could hear them. It was really difficult for her to ignore them.
She was feeling sour and could only toss and turn on the bed. She had already taken a nap in the afternoon. It was even harder for her to fall asleep now. Hansen and Zoey were having a good time in the living hall and there was no place for her at all.
She had no choice but to sit up and open her laptop and then she started working on the car model design.
However, she couldn't concentrate no matter what. What was worse was her inner discomfort. Even when Aria used to pester Hansen in the past, she was sad too. However, Aria was arrogant and she was not the type that Hansen would like. And at that time, she was angry instead of being jealous. Even though she felt uncomfortable, she could still feel Hansen's unintentional coldness toward Aria. She also felt more confident in herself seeing how Hansen treated Aria.
However, now, when facing Zoey, she now realized that her heart was full of jealousy. She felt sour and very uncomfortable.
After all, she could tell that Hansen really loved this innocent and beautiful girl. The love on his face and eyes was so obvious that anyone could tell.
Hansen loving her was more in line with his personality.
Staring at the laptop, Zoey’s sincere smile filled her mind. Zoey's eyes flickered with a sly and playful smile, but they were so clear and pure that she could make people fall in love with her.
Jenna felt that Zoey's face looked familiar for a moment, as if she had seen it somewhere, but for a moment, she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
Feeling bored, she closed the laptop and laid sullenly on the bed. Moments later, she seemed to have fallen asleep. In a daze, she returned to her childhood when her father took her to the banquet and met Grandma Richards as well as the gloomy handsome boy who was standing beside her.
It was the first time she saw him. He was so handsome and elegant. She didn't hear Grandma Richards's question at all and she just looked at him shyly.
However, his eyes were only looking at a place outside, smiling; he did not look at her at all.
Later, as long as she met him, she couldn't help paying attention to him, only to realize that his eyes would always look at the girl in a white dress who was standing outside; his eyes were full of affection.
The girl was very well- behaved and very young, much younger than both of them. Her eyes were very attractive when she laughed, and she was very beautiful.
Jenna suddenly woke up. Her eyes were wide open in the dark.
She remembered.
The girl whom Hansen was staring at back then was Zoey Delia.
The same Zoey she met today.
They had known each other a long time ago, and he was still very young back then.
Hansen was already interested in her at that time.
Yet, no matter what Jenna did, Hansen would never fall in love with her. He would set his sights on another girl, may it be Aria or Zoey, or whichever girl he was going to come across in the future.
In his heart, Jenna was really nothing. There wasn't even a corner that was reserved for her.
If Aria was a great threat to her, then this little girl named Zoey who was at least five years younger than her, could destroy her directly.
Her heart was so cold.
