Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 252

"Young Master, Madam wishes to see you." Seeing that the door was shut tightly, Larry rang the doorbell.

Jenna was already asleep at that moment. Despite being in slumber, her eyebrows were scrunched up in fear.

Hansen held onto Jenna's hand and sat on her bedside. With a lump in his throat, he looked at her slowly falling asleep. He only stood up when Larry's voice pulled him back to his senses. With the key in his hand, he stepped outside.

Changing the door was a hasty decision he made. He kept a key without telling her about it as he was worried that she might be angry about it. Unexpectedly, it was put to use so soon.

"Mom, what's the matter?" As Hansen walked to the living room, Marissa was sitting on the sofa with a sorrowful expression.

"Hansen, what are your plans?" Marissa asked solemnly as she lifted her chin and looked at Hansen's calm face.

"What?" Hansen furrowed his eyebrows slightly and pretended to not understand.

"Hansen," Marissa harshened her tone, "Things have escalated to such an extent, yet you are still pretending to be oblivious to the issue. Of course, you can procrastinate all you like but Earl would not wait anymore. He has already given an ultimatum today and the date of marriage must be decided within three days. Please consider it properly and stop being foolish."

"Impossible! He is trying to threaten u, and I will not conform to him," Hansen denied adamantly as his gaze was filled with rage.

"Hansen, now that something like this has happened, it became an excuse for them to do so, and Earl is very determined this time around. Besides, Aria's pregnant bump will be showing soon and there's really no way to hide it anymore," she persuaded sincerely. When Marissa heard Hansen's refusal, her heart sank.

"Mom, this is slander. I know Jenna well enough to know that she would never push Aria. She has never been an audacious woman and would not bother about such trivial matters as well. If we compromised on this matter, it would be very unfair to her as it is tantamount to an admission of guilt, which is completely absurd. I will never let her suffer from any harm," Hansen said angrily and firmly.

"Hansen, are you really that dumb, or are you acting like it? I do know that Jenna can't be blamed for this as well because I witnessed it. At that time, Georgia and I came in almost at the same time, I even stepped into the place a second earlier. Moreover, the position I was standing on gave me a better view of the entire situation but even if we know that this was slander, does it matter?" Marissa said helplessly.

"Mom, why didn't you say that when you were in the ward this afternoon? What's the purpose of saying this right now? This is so unfair to Jenna! How could you be so senseless?" Hansen became furious as he stood up abruptly and replied with a loud voice.

Marissa couldn't help but let out a gasp when she sensed Hansen's anger. She sighed and said gravely, "Hansen, only Georgia and I witnessed the entire situation. Could I even come clean about it? If I did tell the truth to them just now, it would only make them angrier and they may even think that I'm covering up the truth for Jenna. By backing them into a corner, the consequences would only be more serious. But now, I've left us with an alternative. As long as you agree to their request, they will not continue clinging on this matter for my sake and all of the problems would be resolved as well. This is the best solution for everyone."

Hansen was completely speechless. What kind of logic was this? It was a plain set-up to frame them.

"Mom, you are too mindless. It had nothing to do with Jenna in the first place, why should we compromise? If we did, we are affirming that we did something wrong and it would be much harder for us to clear things up." Hansen felt unpleasant as he massaged his temples in hopes to relieve his throbbing headache. He didn't understand why Marissa was so afraid of them.

"Oh Hansen, are you really that dense, or are you faking it? Anyone with a straight mind could see that they are just trying to drive Jenna away so that you could marry Aria. This is their ultimate goal. Even if Jenna did not push her or that such things had never even happened at all, they would obviously still find some other excuse and force another misdeed on her until we drive her away. You must figure out the roots of the matter and fathom out their true intentions in order to resolve the problem accordingly. It's useless to question what is right and what is wrong at this moment," Marissa reasoned with him as she explained patiently. Her day was full of fright and shock; it was tiring her out. Her chest felt stuffy as she held onto it tiredly.
