Jenna was soon pulled into his arms. She stuck her face against his chest and listened to his calm and rhythmic heartbeat. After knowing that he did not intend to make her worried, she felt relieved. Her face flushed.
"You aren't allowed to do this again in the future. No matter what you do, you must call me to let me know that you're okay." Jenna pressed her face against his chest and said relentlessly.
"Don't worry, honey, I will." He was secretly overjoyed by her concern for him. Although she had been way too worried, he was glad to know that she cared.
He carried her to the sofa and hugged her tightly. She stayed in his arms and was as gentle as a kitten, soft and adorable.
Luqman's face and words suddenly flashed across Hansen's mind. His heart sank.
Now that he had Jenna and Jerry, his attitude towards life had become completely different. He had a lot to consider. He wanted to protect the interests of the Richards Group, but he also wanted to protect the woman in his arms and Jerry. He wanted to give them a blissful life. So, he didn't want to get involved in any sort of trouble.
However, Luqman's words made him a little uneasy.
Although he was a scheming politician, he hadn't spoken his words casually.
He mentioned that Hansen had already been dragged into this battle. Was it really so?
However, why didn't he sense anything abnormal? Perhaps the enemies were hidden too well.
No matter what, he couldn't let his guard down too easily now.
"Hansen, have you eaten yet?" Jenna raised her head in his arms and saw his deeply furrowed brows. Her heart tightened. There was a kind of inexplicable worry on his handsome face. Jenna was used to reading his expressions and she felt an indescribable feeling of anxiety and unease.
Hansen was lost in his thoughts. So, he did not respond to Jenna's question.
"Hansen, what's wrong? Did something happen?" She asked uneasily, sitting upright and observing his face.
Hearing her concerned voice, Hansen came to his senses and met her gaze. He put his hands on her shoulders, smiled, and replied softly, "I'm fine."
Was there really nothing wrong? Jenna did not believe him. She only looked at him, with her eyes filled with anxiety. "Hansen, can you tell me where you went today?"
Hansen paused for a moment. His eyes were bright and a charming smile appeared on his face.
"I haven't gone anywhere. I just had to meet a client." He acted calm and didn't want her to worry about it.
A meeting with a client? His secretary didn't have any such meeting on his schedule. Obviously, he was lying and didn't want her to know about it.
Jenna knew better than anyone else that since he didn't want her to know, it was useless for her to continue asking. She knew that she couldn't pressure him too much. So, she scrambled out of his arms.
"Since you were working, I'm sure you haven't eaten. I cooked a few dishes for you today. Let me heat them up for you." After she finished her words, she walked towards the kitchen.
Indeed, Hansen had not eaten anything today. His conversation with Luqman had made him completely lose his appetite. It was only when Jenna brought him a bowl of hot soup did he begin to feel hungry. He picked up his bowl and started wolfing down his food.
"Slow down. Don't eat so hurriedly," she said softly as she picked up food for him and put them on his plate.
As Hansen drank the hot soup, he said emotionally, "Jenna, no matter how good the outside food is, it can never be compared to your home-cooked food. My wife's cooking is the best."
When Jenna heard this, she smiled sweetly.
"Then, you should come back and eat more often. Don't eat outside. If you have meetings to attend to, just eat a little." Jenna sat next to him and reminded him very seriously. In reality, she would rather have him stay with her everyday. She didn't want him to disappear all day just because he was stressing himself out over work.
If it weren't up to them to protect the family business, she would much prefer living a frugal and ordinary life. As long as they could be together everyday and love each other as they grew old, she didn't mind living a simple life. She didn't want to be busy all the time. Although their life was rich and filled with pleasure, it wasn't the life she wanted.
"Alright, I will try my best." Hansen nodded his head and agreed. He stretched out an arm to hug her and give her a small kiss on her tiny face.
"Eww, your mouth is oily. I hate it." Jenna laughed
as she whacked him.
Hansen giggled.
