Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 412

"Madam Lilian, it's rare for you to visit this place. I have prepared a feast based on A City's culture. Have a taste of our hometown dishes. It will still be noon when you return to Europe." Yezon walked over and invited her.

He had personally asked Madam Lilian to come over. She would only be here for three hours. After that, Madam Lilian would have to leave the country to attend an important meeting in the afternoon.

Madam Lilian had attended the banquet out of respect for Yezon.

Therefore, he prepared a meal consisting of the local specialties of A city for her, hoping that she would like it.

"Alright, thank you." Madam Lilian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Tell you what, you all can have dinner with me."

"Don't worry, Madam Lilian. I have prepared sufficient dishes." Yezon added, "This way, please."

As he spoke, he held her hand as they walk towards the long dining table.

Waiting at the sides of the table stood waiters, bartenders, and chefs, ready to serve. The white napkins on the table were spotless and immaculate.

Jenna looked around. The dining table could accommodate around 30 people. The names of the attendees who were hand-picked to dine with Madam Lilian were placed on each seat.

She and Hansen were the most successful entrepreneurs in A City. It was only natural that they had the privilege and honor to be there. However, they were still two seats away from Madam Lilian.

Madam Lilian sat in the seat of honor.

She and Hansen sat on the second and third seats away from Madam Lilian on her left side. On her right were the mayor and secretary. One seat away from Madam Lilian on her left side sat Yezon.

Sergio had a high position, but that was all to be attributed to his father, Yadriel, who was a high-ranking official. Sergio's position as the newly appointed head of state security of Capital City was not to be underestimated as well. Hence, he was assigned to the third seat on the right.

Elegant music started playing, indicating the commencement of the dinner.

The waiters served the sumptuous dishes.

Everyone ate their meals in a refined manner. Even though it was a grand feast, the scene was still quiet and orderly.

Jenna was even more cautious. She was afraid that if she did something indecent, she would embarrass Hansen.

As for Hansen, he was used to this kind of event. He was calm and at ease. When he sensed Jenna's nervousness, he smiled and scooped a meatball for Jenna, saying softly, "Come, try and taste this."

"Thank you," Jenna whispered. She was embarrassed by Hansen showing a public display of affection. For heaven's sake, they were in public!

Madam Lilian noticed them. She picked a meatball up as well with a smile and took a bite of it. The familiar taste warmed her heart. She blurted out, "Present and past, fleeting and fast."

She recited a poem. The light in her eyes dimmed.

"Infinite and untamed, only time will remain." Jenna ate the meatball and recalled something, being slightly absent- minded. When Madam Lilian finished reciting the line, she continued without a second thought.

As soon as she concluded her poem,

Madam Lilian immediately turned to look at her.

"How do you know this poem?" Her eyes shone and she asked in surprise.

When Jenna heard Madam Lilian's question, she realized that she had spoken out loud. Ashamed, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Madam Lilian. I've made a fool of myself."

"No, child, tell me, how did you know this poem?" Madam Lilian asked kindly, shaking her head. There was an urgent and desperate expression on her face.

"This..." Jenna thought for a bit and said sheepishly, "When I was young, my mother often recited this poem. I didn't know who the poet was, but I remembered it. Today, when I heard you reading it aloud, I subconsciously continued as well. I'm sorry."

"I see." Madam Lilian became more excited. She asked with great interest, "Who is your mother?"

When Jenna heard this, she was even more embarrassed. Since Madam Lilian had asked, she decided to answer her question simply, in a decent manner.

"Madam Lilian, my mother is just an ordinary woman. But in my eyes, she is the noblest of women."

When Jenna thought of Sara's disabled legs, her heart ached. In the middle of such a high-class occasion, mentioning her mother more or less made her feel sorrowful. After finishing that sentence, she tried to cover up the past and did not want to continue.
