Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 215

"Jenna, I'm getting old. Now, I give you the rights of Ink Garden and the right to be the head of Richards Manor. From now on, this house is all yours,¹' Vivian said firmly, though not loudly.

What? As soon as Vivian said this, even Meroy was dumbstruck. Jenna was even more shocked. She stood there for a long time, failing to register the meaning of those words.

Who was she to take over Richards Manor?

She was merely an outsider. Furthermore, she could be considered as an enemy to the Richards family. Norton killed Javon but Vivian gave her the manor. What did she mean?

Trust or trial, or perhaps, Vivian was really willing to risk everything for her. Was this a test of her morals? Vivian must be hoping that she would forgive Norton, or did she really trust her?

Her hand slid to touch her belly.

She was pregnant at present, was she strong enough to take on this responsibility?

Or did Vivian already know that she was pregnant with Hansen's baby? No, this was impossible. No one else knew about the baby except for Hannah.

"Grandma, I can't accept this," Jenna was very uneasy and instantly refused. "This is Richards Manor, it's the property of the Richards family. I'm just an outsider, so this is really inappropriate. You should give it to Auntie Marissa or Auntie Clancy. I dare not accept this."

She continued to decline, refusing to accept the responsibility of the head of the manor no matter what.

"Jenna, I know that our family owes you a lot. Indeed, you are not technically qualified to be the head of the Richards family. But, please do this for my sake, take care of this family. I have never regretted my decisions. Except you, no one else in Richards Manor is worthy of this power."

She became even more perplexed when Vivian said this. She thought Vivian was wrong. There were a lot who she thought could take up the title. Take Marissa for example, she was intelligent and brilliant. How could she not be worthy? Besides, she was also fifty years old. She was completely competent. Vivian seemed to look through her and she continued.

"If Marissa was capable, I would have handed the manor to her. After all, she is my eldest daughter-in-law." Vivian sounded a little helpless and Jenna felt confused.

"Grandma, Auntie Marissa is very capable. I heard that she had an important role in the development of Richards Group with Mr. Trevor," Jenna quickly defended Marissa.

"That's true. She did put in a lot of effort for Richards Group." Vivian nodded in agreement. "But at that time, she had Trevor by her side. Trevor had a calm personality while she was impatient and the two complemented each other. In addition, Marissa had a strong and influential family, that was the reason they succeeded. It's not that I’m picking on her. She is smart but she's too arrogant. She trusts herself too much, especially on emotional matters. She could very easily be used to others' advantage. This is what I worry most about Hansen too, he's like his mother. Jenna, I trust you and your abilities, and I'm willing to give you the rights to take care of this family. Would you accept my request?"

Vivian took a breath after speaking so much and looked up at Jenna with hope glistening in her eyes.

Jenna was dumbfounded. She stood in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Could she handle it?

No, never.

Standing still, her hands stayed by her side.

"Jenna, would you help me with this favor? In the future, if you want to leave, you may do as you please. But, help me take care of it temporarily, alright?" Vivian pleaded again.

Jenna no longer had the heart to turn her down.

A ninety- year- old woman was begging her, how could she refuse it so cruelly?

"Jenna, Grandma is begging you. Please accept it," Meroy also understood and joined in the battle to persuade Jenna. She would be very happy if this home was really owned by Jenna.

"But Grandma, you know that it's impossible for me to get back together with Hansen. I'm refusing your offer not because I don't want to but I can't. I'm a nobody to the Richards family. This will just turn all of us into a laughing stock," Jenna explained. She was in a difficult position.

"No, only you can handle this. It's God's will to how you and Hansen will turn out in the future, no one can change destiny. But for the time being, I want to ask you out of my own selfishness, to take over this family. Promise me that you'll help me. Say if you and Hansen are truly separated by then, you can hand it over to another person, okay?" Vivian assured.

What did she mean by truly separated? Jenna wondered. The reality was that they were already totally separated. Ever since Aria became pregnant, it was clear that they have no possibilities of being together. No matter what, it was impossible for her to stay with Hansen. She remained in the manor solely to wait for an opportunity.

Vivian's stubbornness really caused her a headache and Meroy was busy persuading her on the side.

Vivian was indeed getting old. She was panting heavily after their long conversation.

Jenna was helpless, therefore she could only take over the master key of Richards Manor. However, she was completely clueless; she was scared of how she would do this. Her heart felt heavy.

She could not bear to refuse Vivian, hence she could only sacrifice herself.

At present, she had to go to the hospital every day to take care of Trevorand also be the head of the manor. She had a child in her belly. Who would understand the burden piling up on her shoulders?

She walked out with heavy steps.

As soon as she walked out of the gate of Ink Garden, she met a pair of bright eyes.

The girl in front of her had shoulder-length hair. Her eyes were big and shining, and her face was tinted pink. She looked quiet and elegant. It was a lovely sight. Jenna seemed to like her just by looking at her.

It was Sabrina.

She wore a short skirt with leather boots. Not to mention, the crimson blazer looked like it was made especially for her, not at all tacky.
