Meanwhile, after Jenna got up, she went to the living room downstairs after having a wash.
Aunt Ella was painstakingly preparing breakfast for her.
"Mommy." Jerry, who was waiting for Jenna with excitement and anticipation, ran quickly towards her when he saw her.
"Jerry." Jenna crouched down and stretched out her hands to pick him up.
The mother and son hugged each other. They were extremely affectionate.
"Aunt Ella, where's Hansen?" Jenna asked Aunt Ella as she held Jerry in her arms and played with him.
Upon hearing Jenna's question, Aunt Ella quickly replied with a smile, "Madam, Mr. Richards had gone out early in the morning."
Ever since Hansen became the President of the Richards Group, everyone in the family had begun to address him as Mr. Richards and Jenna had also earned the right to be called 'Madam'.
Hansen left early in the morning? Jenna frowned slightly.
"Mommy, I haven't seen Daddy for days. I haven't seen Daddy hug Mommy and me anymore." Jerry remembered that his Dad and Mom used to come home together happily. Even if they hadn't returned home together, the first thing his Dad did when he came home was always to hold his Mom and kiss her with a smile on his face, before coming to hug him.
He used to protest strongly against such unfair treatment, but these days, he could no longer see his Mom and Dad being affectionate. Only now did he start to think that even if his Dad hugged his Mom but not him, he would still be very happy.
The feeling of not being able to see his Dad was terrible.
Jerry's words were like the poisonous sting of a bee, hurting Jenna's feelings. A wave of pain swept across her heart and her face turned pale.
"Jerry, be good. Daddy has a huge project to handle for the next few days. He's very busy, and he'll make it up to you soon." She hugged Jerry tightly and comforted him, although she felt bewildered and uneasy.
"Madam, breakfast is ready. Please come over to eat." Aunty Ella called out to her kindly.
"Oh, okay," Jenna answered softly. Right this moment, Larry came up from the side and called out, "Young Master, your teacher is here. It's time for your studies."
"That's so soon." Jerry pouted and asked unwillingly, "Mommy, can I not study today? I want to stay a little longer with you."
"No." Jenna immediately put on a straight face and said in a serious tone, "Jerry, you have to persevere and study regularly. You can't casually skip classes. This is the right attitude to study. You have to practise this from a young age and not develop the bad habit of giving up when things are unfinished. Besides, Mommy has to go to the company to help Daddy soon after breakfast. I have no time to keep you company. Mommy and Daddy will take you out during the weekends when we're free."
Jenna knew that she got up late today. Jerry had already had his breakfast, and now that his private tutor had arrived, of course, she wouldn't allow him to act innocent. Furthermore, she was worried about the Richards Group. So, she definitely wouldn't be in the mood to play with him.
Therefore, after holding and kissing him for a while, she sent him to the study room, handed him to the teacher, and went to have her breakfast.
"Madam, have a cup of soy milk," Aunt Ella said with concern as she saw Jenna, who was about to leave, after hurriedly picking up a bun. She handed her a cup of warm soy milk. "It's not hot now. It's just fine. Although you're busy, you must take care of your health."
"Thank you." Jenna was touched. She didn't want to hurt her feelings. So, she accepted the soy milk and finished it in two gulps.
Aunt Ella took the cup and hesitated on saying something. She stopped after having second thoughts when she saw that Jenna was really busy.
After finishing the soy milk, Jenna felt thirsty. So, she picked up the glass on the table and drank some water. When she placed the glass back, Aunt Ella had already helped her get her bag.
Aunt Ella had always treated her like her own daughter. Jenna knew that, which was why she cherished Aunt Ella's care a lot.
She took the bag and thanked her. She kept thinking about Hansen, as she turned around and was about to leave.
"Madam." Aunt Ella finally spoke.
Jenna turned around and looked at her in puzzlement, smiling as she asked, "Aunt Ella, what's the matter?"
"Madam, I have something to say. Maybe I'm too nosy, but I really want to tell you." Aunt Ella thought for a moment and said in a caring
manner.
