At the end of the long footpath and green trees in the back garden of Green Jade Garden, a figure dressed in a purple gown was sitting on a stone bench, with her arms around her knees in a daze.
Jenna was slowly walking along the long pathway, and she was shocked to see that figure.
"Sabrina, why are you sitting here? Don't you need to work today?" she said with a face full of surprise, taking a step forward.
Sabrina was still sitting there in a daze. It was only after Jenna had called out to her a second time that she came back to her senses. Seeing that it was Jenna, she stood up in a hurry and asked while inspecting her, "Jenna, I came here to see you, but after seeing that you're still sleeping, I chose not to disturb you. How about it? Nothing bad happened yesterday, right? Were you injured?"
As Sabrina asked, she took Jenna's hand and inspected her.
Jenna smiled. "Sabrina, don't worry. I'm fine. Sergio was the one who's hurt."
Upon mentioning Sergio, Jenna thought of a serious question. Hadn't he gone to Sabrina's home for a marriage proposal? Then, could the fact that Sabrina was sitting there in a daze have something to do with the rumors between Sergio and her? Thinking about that, she held Sabrina's hand and sat down on the stone bench together.
"Sabrina, is there something on your mind?" Jenna asked softly after sitting down.
Sabrina raised her eyebrows, and a trace of worry flashed across her eyes. She shook her head.
"Sabrina, if you regard me as your good friend, then you must tell me if there's something on your mind." After sitting down, Jenna spoke in a sincere and earnest tone.
Even a positive and vivacious woman like Sabrina would have a moment where she was sad. That was why Jenna thought that Sabrina's worry was most likely related to her love life.
"I will." Sabrina smiled and promised. "Thank you, Jenna."
"Sabrina, I sincerely hope that you can find happiness. You have been in the Richards Group for such a long time. You should have a general understanding of Sergio, right?" Jenna said softly.
Sabrina understood what her intention was and shook her head immediately.
"Jenna, to tell you the truth, Sergio isn't my ideal man. It's just that his father proposed marriage to my father, but I know it's impossible between me and him," she said very convincingly. When Jenna recalled how Sergio couldn't hold himself back that night, her face turned a little red. She sighed in her heart. Obviously, the two of them didn't think of each other that way. If they get married because of their elder's orders, Jenna was afraid that Sabrina's whole life would be ruined.
At the thought of that, her mood became a little heavy.
"Then, how are you going to tell your father that you wish to turn down the proposal?"
"That's why I was in a daze. My father is adamant. So, I'm afraid that he won't agree to it so easily." She lowered her head and her face turned red.
For a moment, Jenna pitied Sabrina.
"Sabrina, marriage is a matter of destiny. If you two are really fated to be together, then you two will definitely be able to end up together. Don't worry, take your time." She could only explain it like that. In fact, she herself was also caught up in a relationship dilemma.
"Jenna, to be honest, now that I've seen your marriage with Hansen, I've lost interest in it. Even though you two have gone through a lot of hardships, your relationship was disrupted by Liya just like that. This made me feel very disappointed, especially with men," she said with a heavy heart. The disappointment on her face was self-evident.
"Silly girl, not everyone is like this. Everyone's situation is different. How can you only look at me and Hansen? There are so many people in the world. It is the same when it comes to love as well. A romance like Hansen's and mine is actually very rare. No matter what setbacks you encounter, you must have confidence in life and live a cheerful life. You shouldn't be discouraged so easily." Although Jenna was still sad right then, she still tried her best to comfort Sabrina.
Sabrina nodded. She really admired Jenna's attitude.
"Jenna, since you're fine and all, then I'll go to work. Otherwise, Hansen will be unhappy," she said with a smile, and stood up.
Jenna also nodded with a smile.
"Sabrina, may I ask you a question?" When Sabrina was about to leave, Jenna stood up and asked with a clear voice.
"What do you want to talk about? Feel free to ask me." Sabrina turned around and smiled. After she steadied herself, she looked at her.
Jenna thought for a while and then asked very seriously, "If Norton had really turned over a new leaf, and was able to have a successful career to prove his sincerity to you, will you then accept him?"
Jenna stared intently at Sabrina. The Norton right then had indeed turned over a new leaf, but he still hadn't cemented a successful career yet. Obviously, Sabrina still couldn't accept Norton like that, let alone General Delia. However, if he was really able to have a successful career, would Sabrina accept him? That was the key.
It could be seen that Sabrina had had a crush on Norton in the past, as he was her first love, but after those events, she couldn't understand Sabrina's mind anymore. She was even more afraid of destroying her purity. Hence, she asked her to test her.
The smile on Sabrina's face disappeared instantly, and her face tensed up.
"Jenna, did Norton tell you to ask me this?" she asked with great suspicion.
"No." Jenna shook her head firmly. "This is my own intention."
"Oh." Sabrina breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes looked a little lonely. "Jenna, I might as well tell you that I have completely given up on him. Also, I know my father will never accept him. There is no chance for us anymore. He had hurt me deeply as well."
Sabrina answered while holding onto the hem of her dress with her hand, which obviously meant that she felt a little uneasy.
Jenna's heart instantly sank upon hearing that.
