Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 261

"Sabrina, when will your father visit A city?" Norton's voice was soft and gentle as he asked.

"He will definitely attend the New Year banquet," Sabrina replied shyly.

"Oh." After Norton responded curtly, no words were further exchanged as he lowered his head in an attempt to kiss her again.

Norton was indeed asking about General Delia again. What was this guy up to?

"Ehem," Jenna cleared her throat deliberately.

The two darted away from each other frantically with a flustered expression on their faces.

"Jenna, you're back from the hospital." As Sabrina saw Jenna standing in front of her, her face flushed in crimson. She felt very embarrassed as she tidied her disheveled hair with her hand and asked awkwardly.

Norton looked even more embarrassed than her.

"Yeah." Smiling, Jenna nodded as she said jokingly, "Tsk, what a loving couple."

"Jenna, stop making fun of me. By the way, is Uncle Richards feeling better?" Sabrina scurried towards her, hugging her arm as she asked caringly.

Jenna opened her mouth and just as she was about to speak, she felt an inexplicable gaze staring at her. Right as she raised her head, she saw Norton looking at her eagerly as if he wanted to know as well. Jenna's heart twitched and she shut her mouth instantly.

"Jenna, Uncle Richards is slowly recovering, right? We are all wishing for him to be able to stand up once again." Noticing that Jenna stopped talking, Norton asked with concern.

Jenna forced out a slight smile with her typical calm expression. She then shook her head and heaved a sigh as she said, "Uncle Richards' disease is incurable and everything's just the same. It's hard to say whether things have become better or not anyway."

"That's so pitiful. It's really sad to see how the once prestigious Uncle Richards had become like this overnight," Sabrina sighed as she said regretfully. "Jenna, I believe that you're exhausted. Let's go home."

Jenna moved away from her grip as she said softly, "Sabrina, how about you go back first? I have something to ask Norton. Don't worry, it will only take a short time."

"Is that so? I'll leave first then. I'll be waiting for you upstairs, Jenna." Sabrina smiled warmly as she walked away from them in light steps.

Norton stared at her as her figure gradually became further from them with glimmer in his eyes.

"Jenna, anything I could help you with? Well, you just came back from the hospital, right?" After retracting his gaze, Norton asked awkwardly.

"Norton, do you still remember what I said to you last time?" After Sabrina left, Jenna's smile disappeared as she asked coldly.

"What is it?" Norton pretended not to understand.

"Norton, can you at least be a man with some conscience and morality? Sabrina is pure; she would not stand being tricked by you. Stop hurting an innocent girl so casually, would you?" Seeing that Norton feigned innocence, Jenna condemned him almost disappointedly. "I don't know what your purpose for approaching her was, but I will never allow you to hurt her."

Hearing Jenna's harsh and stern words, Norton had to face Jenna's questioning seriously.

With a troubled expression, he gulped. Soon, he said gravely, "Jenna, I'd never thought about hurting her. I am being completely serious about this. After the prison incident, I figured it out and now, I just want to find a good pair to get married, have children, and live a plain and peaceful life. Sabrina is a nice girl and I truly want to marry her."

As Norton gazed at the glimmering lights from afar, an unquenchable desire was evident in his eyes. It was an expression filled with yearning for good things out of human nature.

Jenna's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at him quizzically.

"Do you love her then?" she frowned and asked.

"Love?" Norton laughed suddenly. "That's silly of you, Jenna. How many couples in this world actually got married out of love? Love is the least needed in this world; it's everywhere. However, from the bottom of my heart, I want to marry her."

Norton smiled nonchalantly as he said this.

"Norton, you are such a shameless man. You really tried to toy with Sabrina's feelings and to my surprise, it was out of such an absurd and glorified excuse. You're worse than a beast." Jenna's eyes looked like they were about to spit out fire as she gritted his teeth and yelled at him.

"Enough." The smile on Norton's face disappeared as his voice became cold. He stared at Jenna cold- heartedly as he said, "Jenna, you are too naive. It's really a wonder how you still contained such innocence after going through so much in life. Let me make it clear: I am not toying with her feelings and I sincerely want to marry her. I'll give her a legitimate status and I will be with her in my entire life while she will give birth to my children. We'll live normally like how every other couple in this world does. What's wrong with treating a woman like this?"

Was this his reason? Did he want to marry her just to achieve some purpose and not out of love instead?

"Fine, allow me to ask you, can you give her happiness?" Jenna's face was stoic but her arising anger was evident. If a man couldn't give a woman happiness, why even mention marriage? This was too childish.

"Happiness? Do you even understand what it is?" Norton tossed the question right back at her.
