"Hansen, I'm really relieved that you two can move forward together." Grandma Richards continued to say happily, but the light in her eyes was exposed little by little, "Hansen, I have read some rumors about you two not being on good terms in the newspaper. I called you here today to tell you that although it's normal that as a public figure, you'll have more rumors than the other people, it's not good to have too many rumors. It threatens the stability of your family and the reputation of the Richards family. I think you should know better than grandma."
Grandma Richards's gaze slowly turned to Hansen. "I know that you've been blaming me for so many years. But child, three years have passed. Are you sensible now? Do you understand my intentions?"
Hansen was getting more and more confused, and even his expression was a little stiff.
Three years ago, when Jenna went to the United States, his grandma knew about it, but she didn't oppose it openly. She didn't even ask him about it and didn't force him to bring her back. She just asked the people at home to send gifts to Javon's family during the holidays, which placated Javon and the others, and preventing them from putting the blame on her.
He thought that his grandma would have already realized her wrong decision and would not force them anymore. However, what she said today was not the case at all!
Grandma had been staying in the house all day long. Although it looked like she didn't care about whatever was happening outside, she knew some things better than anyone else.
He didn't understand why she didn't stop Jenna from going to the United States at that time, and for so many years. If she really wanted them to be happy, it was not wise for them to be apart for such a long time. She could have commanded him to bring Jenna back, but she didn't.
Now, he could not understand Grandma Richards' words at all.
"My child, it's been three years. Have you grown up?" Grandma Richards held his hand. She knew that her grandson was shrewd in his career, but he was childish in love. She did not ask too much from him, but by forcing him to marry Jenna, she had done her duty.
Many years ago, when she first saw Jenna who was still a little girl, she believed that Jenna was the most suitable one for her grandson, Hansen. She thought this was a beautiful thing, but she did not expect everything to be derailed from the plan. Everything was beyond her imagination. For so many years, this was the pain she had hidden in her heart! Whenever she thought of this, she would feel sad.
After all, a couple had to stay with each other for the rest of their lives. How would they be able to cherish their relationship without going through all kinds of hardships? They had to rely on themselves to walk the path of life ahead. No one could help them.
But at this moment, everything was still unclear. Her grandson was still muddled.
"Grandma, I don't understand what you mean." Hansen started panicking. Did he grow up? Was grandma saying that he was not being mature and sensible enough? If not, what else did she mean?
"Hansen, I have heard a lot of bad rumors about you and Jenna. You are a man. I will ask you today, and I hope you can tell me the truth," Grandma Richards' eyes were bright, and she asked word by word.
Hansen became flustered.
"Grandma, I..." He stammered. It seemed that grandma must have gotten the news of his divorce with Jenna. Otherwise, she would not have asked so.
"I guess I won't be able to see my granddaughter-in-law in the future." Sure enough, Grandma Richards's face was full of disappointment. She muttered to herself, "It seems that everything is true. Jenna, you have already given up on my grandson. Are you going to choose someone else? You promised me in front of your father!"
Heartache was showing on Grandma Richards's face, and her murky eyes were sparkling.
Hansen was frightened when he heard this. Originally, he wanted to hide it from her, but now the media was too involved. He even thought of the possibility that some malicious people could have deliberately disclosed the news to her.
Norton Richards's face surfaced before his eyes. This cousin, who had always been hostile to him, was always jealous of him. He would not have passed on such an opportunity to bring Hansen down.
Thinking of this, Hansen was furious. Norton had circled around Jenna like a fly. If he hadn't taken away Jenna's virginity, he wouldn't have disliked Jenna so much.
The hatred in his heart was stirred up one after another!
