"I have always wanted to have a good chat with Raeleigh but never had the chance to. Now that she's here in Green Jade Garden and she still has many things to learn, I should tell her as her mother- in- law. What's more, what happened earlier was unpleasant; I'm worried she'll feel uneasy, so I want to comfort her."
Jenna found a big excuse for herself. On the other hand, Hansen frowned deeply. "If you're going to comfort Raeleigh. Who's going to comfort me?"
Raeleigh was rendered speechless then. She was astonished that there was such a person alive; his possessiveness sure was intense.
"Jerry will. Right, Jerry?"
Jenna stood up and took Raeleigh away regardless of Hansen's displeasure. Hansen took a step forward with a gloomy expression on his face.
Jepherson was visibly upset too, looking at his father as he said, "It's your fault that your wife doesn't listen to you."
Hansen glared daggers at him in turn. "Are you asking for a beating?"
With that, Jepherson walked away; his father obviously didn't need his comfort.
Raeleigh followed Jenna to their room and went in to make sleeping arrangements.
"Ah... Mom, you can sleep inside; I'll sleep outside," Raeleigh said after making the bed. Jenna looked at Raeleigh and said, "Raeleigh, you don't have to do any of this. We see you as our daughter and not an in-law. You can live the way you used to. I know Grandma still doesn't accept you, but it won't always be like this. When I first entered the family, I also encountered a lot of hardships. The most important thing is the love between you and Jerry, no?"
"I did what I should. You are my elder. I can't ask you to make the bed, can I?" Raeleigh explained. Jenna was glad to know she was sensible at the very least.
"Let's get some rest." With that, Jenna had already taken off her clothes and got under the quilt. Seeing so, Raeleigh followed suit.
It was the first time for Raeleigh to sleep in the same bed with Jenna. Thus, she felt a little uneasy, and her body tensed up.
"Raeleigh, don't be nervous. The bed is big enough for the both of us to sleep in."
Jenna found it amusing, thinking she must've been like her as well when she was young.
Raeleigh tried to calm down at that and finally said when she was no longer nervous, "I have something to ask, but I don't know if I should."
To be honest, she didn't want to have her finger in the pie, but she had already promised Jacky. There was no other way.
"There's nothing you can't ask. Go ahead." Jenna was actually on the verge of falling asleep and was really sleepy.
After thinking for a while, Raeleigh asked about Deanna. Jenna squinted her eyes and turned around to look at Raeleigh after hearing her words.
"Why are you suddenly asking about her?" Jenna was not a fool. Of course, she knew very well why Raeleigh asked.
And Raeleigh didn't hide anything either, telling everything about Jacky. Jenna thought for a while and said, "I really like Jacky; he's a decent one. Your Auntie Hannah is also an understanding person, but she always listens to Rayan. Their family had always seen Deanna as the apple of their eyes, and they found it hard to accept Deanna was pregnant before marriage."
"Raeleigh, I watched the girl grow up. Try to put yourself in Hannah's shoes; what would you do?"
"I'll be angry.”
"That's why the Whalen family won't let it go just like this."
It was clear that Jenna didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, this had to do with Deanna's reputation.
However, Jacky was indeed decent, and Jenna could tell. Even if she didn't believe her eyes, she trusted her sons.
Since her two sons could become friends with Jacky, it meant that he was a promising young man. Nevertheless, she thought it'd be a good marriage.
