Hansen stood firm, turning around slowly. His dark eyes had a hint of an unknown emotion and a faint smile crossed his stiff face; there was a soft light in his eyes. He approached and looked at her, then asked slowly, "Can I take it that you are jealous now?"
Jealous! As soon as he said this, Jenna was surprised as well. She took a step back and her face was full of embarrassment.
Did she say the wrong thing, leading him to think that she was jealous?
However, over the past two days, she was really jealous, and even her stomach felt upset now!
She didn't want to admit it.
"No, I'm not!" She stammered with her mouth open and her pale tear-stained face was faintly red. Then, it became redder and she didn't even dare to look him in the eyes. She hurriedly turned her head.
Of course, her expression did not escape Hansen's sharp eyes. Her pale and thin face was full of tears. The girl whom he had met in college had a rosy and beautiful face that was full of spirit, but she was infinitely shy. Whose fault was it that she became so thin and pale?
His woman was living such a painful life. Wasn't it his fault for neglecting her?
Suddenly, there was a kind of distress in his heart, and it hurt more and more. The pain made him feel sore.
He pondered silently for a while.
"Let's go. Let's head home first," he said and walked forward again.
Jenna didn't dare to ask anymore, for fear of leaking her thoughts. It would be very embarrassing if it happened.
She quietly followed behind him and walked silently. He just said that he would avenge her and help her find the murderer who killed her father.
He said he would help her, and she believed that he would be able to do it, although she didn't know that he had been acting secretly.
This was an intuition.
Furthermore, if this matter was really related to the people of Richards Group. There was still hope to get it settled if Hansen intervened in it. If she was working alone, she might be unable to get even a single clue out of it.
However, why didn't she feel as surprised as she had imagined she would be after hearing his words? Instead, she felt heavy in her heart.
Hansen walked steadily ahead of her.
He already realized that over the years, there were indeed some problems with their relationship. Putting aside those external factors, the problem between them was really obvious. This woman might look soft and weak on the outside but in fact, she was very stubborn, arrogant, and hard-headed. She was obviously jealous just now, but she refused to admit it. What's even more hateful was that she joined Richards Group alone to avenge her father. How ridiculous it was. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to have met him, or else, based on her abilities, she might even lose her life while investigating the matter.
Others might not know the danger in it but he was clear about it.
When they returned to the villa, Zoey was sitting in the living room playing a game on the tablet. When she saw them come in, she immediately yelled with a smile.
"Hansen, come and help me. I can't pass this level." She was upset but was still smiling innocently.
"Okay, I will help you," Hansen's face suddenly had a smile, and he softly responded.
After putting the things in his hands on the cabinet, he said to Jenna lightly, "Get some rest first. I will inform you when it's dinner time."
Taking the sullen expression on her face into account, he didn't make things difficult for her anymore. He did not care much about her either. He just treated her like a mere acquaintance.
He turned around and took the tablet from Zoey, then started to help her pass the levels in the game.
"Quick, quick, kill him!" Zoey's cheerful voice mixed with Hansen's cheerful laughter soon filled the living room.
Jenna took a bath and wanted to lie down on the bed to rest, but her head hurt so badly that she couldn't sleep at all no matter how much she tossed and turned. She was a cold-blooded and ruthless woman, and Zoey was a kind, caring woman, right? In order to fulfill her responsibilities, in order to invite Jersey, she almost worked her life away for the company. In the end, she was just a ruthless and unrighteous woman in his heart.
And who was being loving and righteous to her then?
The more she thought about it, the more she could not get past it. She was feeling extremely uncomfortable about it.
"Hansen, how is it? Have you reconciled with Jenna?" Zoey whispered in his ear as she saw Jenna walk into the bedroom.
Hansen slid the screen with both hands. A secret smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "Don't cause trouble. Just play the game."
Zoey blinked her eyes and was a little confused. They came back together but the expressions on their faces were uglier than before. Didn't they open their hearts and tell each other the truth?
Thinking of this in her heart, the moment she thought of the possible drama that was going to happen next, she couldn't help laughing.
"Jenna, let's have dinner." Zoey took the initiative to knock on the door of Jenna's bedroom during dinner. Her voice was very sweet.
Jenna was lying on the bed with a splitting headache, and felt even more uncomfortable when she heard Zoey's sweet and happy voice.
She didn't like this innocent and lovely girl at all, and she didn't like her laughter. However, Zoey was always provoking her in a kind manner. Zoey's laughter was even so loud all the time. What an annoying girl!
However, thinking that she did not even have lunch that day, she had to get up.
She sat at the table and ate, in a bad mood.
"Hansen, you were supposed to take me to have delicious food today but you left early. You did not fulfill your promise." Zoey pouted and was very dissatisfied.
