"Sigh, to have such a blessing." Sara let out a long sigh full of sadness. "She is very unfortunate. Her marriage didn't go well, and until now, she's still a single mother. I'm worried sick about her."
As she spoke, Sara felt depressed.
"Don't worry, Aunt Sara. Jenna is a nice girl. She will definitely have a happy home." Sergio quickly handed over a napkin as he comforted her softly.
"Alas, her father and I are to blame. I feel guilty about it." Sara took the napkin from him to wipe her tears. Pain and guilt were written all over her face.
"Aunt Sara, life is capricious. There are some things that are inevitable. So, there is no need to be sad. If everyone knows the consequences beforehand, then regrets will not exist. Nevertheless, obviously, that's impossible. Let's leave the past in the past. What matters is the future. People must always look forward to the future." Sergio comforted her.
His thoughtful and kind words reached Sara's heart. Upon listening to that, she nodded repeatedly in agreement. "You're right. Since we can't change the past, we can only look forward to the future and live well. However, I just don't know if Jenna would be fated for the happiness she deserves."
Sara's face was clouded with sadness and disappointment, as well as worry and yearning. Hansen's figure flashed through her mind, and her heart became heavier.
She hoped that her daughter could have a happy home, and marrying a good man was the only way for a woman to lead a happy life. However, her daughter already had a child. If things could not work out with Hansen, it would not be easy for her to find a good man. Therefore, Sara felt concerned.
She had only one daughter. If her daughter did not live well, what was the point of her being alive then? She would not even be able to be at peace.
Sergio looked at her furrowed brows. He felt moved. He assured her kindly. "Aunt Sara, don't worry. Jenna will definitely find a man who loves her dearly. I'm sure there are many men who are willing to marry such an amazing and kind woman like her."
Her eyebrows finally relaxed. Once again, Sara sighed. "Sergio, you have no idea how diehard Jenna is. It's as if she has never seen a man in her life and has completely fallen head over heels for Hansen. Otherwise, how could she have ended up
like this?"
The light in Sergio's eyes grew dark.
"Aunt Sara, don't worry. People say, sometimes we have to learn the hard way. If the truth is right in front of her eyes, I believe Jenna will be awakened soon. Besides, it is because she hasn't met a better man. When she does, she will understand everything and be happy naturally. As for you, you just need to take good care of yourself. However, this town is a little too small. It is not suitable for people to live here in the long term. When we have time, I would like to take you and Jenna to Capital City. I wonder if I could have the honor?" He told her in a moving and thoughtful speech, while he studied Sara with his eyes.
After listening to his words, Sara was slightly tempted and it was demonstrated by the delight on her face. However, she only chuckled but did not agree to it.
"Sergio, you shouldn't have brought any gifts. When you come next time, just bring yourself. Otherwise, I dare not let you come by anymore," Sara said in embarrassment, looking at the expensive gifts on the table.
Sergio was a son of a high-ranking military and political official. He was also handsome, gentle, and considerate. A man like him was very rare. In the future, if...
Sara was lost in her thoughts. At the moment, Sergio seemed to be very interested in her daughter. She could tell by the look in his eyes when he saw Jenna a few moments ago.
After all, her daughter had given birth. That would be hard for any man to accept.
"Aunt Sara, you're a senior and you're not feeling well. I would have come earlier if I had known something had happened to your family. I feel really ashamed for coming this late. I hope you don't think of me as a heartless person," Sergio explained hurriedly, looking very serious.
"How could I? Thank you, Sergio. You are so considerate." Sara thought of the time when Yadriel came to propose a marriage, but was turned down by Javon. She felt a pang of guilt. Her face then assumed an unnatural expression. She asked, "Since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner?"
After that, she called out, "Jenna, Jenna."
Jenna heard Sara calling her. She walked out with Jerry in her arms.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"Well, this is the first time Sergio came to our house, but this small courtyard of ours is not decent. You can take Sergio to a restaurant and order a few dishes that suit his taste. Be sure to play a good host to Sergio." Sara instructed, beaming.
"Mom, Jerry...." Jenna looked reluctant to go out for dinner with Sergio as Jerry hadn't even had dinner yet. Besides, taking Sergio out for dinner seemed...
"Jerry has us. Can't a few adults take care of a child?" Sara knew what she was thinking. A look of displeasure immediately appeared on Sara's face as she rebuked her daughter.
"Aunt Sara, why don't I treat you and your family to dinner?" Sergio did not want to make things too hard for Jenna, so he hastily suggested.
"You came to our house to pay us a visit, how could we let you treat us? Besides, I have difficulty getting about. Bailey, too, is getting on in years, and Jerry is still too young. It's inconvenient for us to go. Only Jenna can go with you." Of course, Sara would not agree. She turned down the idea immediately. Turning to Jenna once more, the look of displeasure on Sara's face grew even more obvious.
In that case, it would be insensitive of Jenna if she didn't agree. She was also worried that Sara would be angry. She had no choice but to agree.
Bailey came forward and wanted to take Jerry from Jenna's arms. Jerry had been assessing
Sergio with his big eyes. The hostility in his eyes was plain and obvious. When he saw Bailey coming over to take him, he turned his head and buried it in Jenna's shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her neck tightly, not willing to let go.
It seemed like the little guy not only was shy with strangers, but also did not like the idea of Jenna going out to eat with Sergio. Therefore, he hugged Jenna tightly as an attempt to stop Jenna from going.
"Jerry, be a good boy. I will be right back after having a meal with Mr. Xanthe," said Jenna to Jerry gently while patting his back.
