Jerry was intelligent even though he was only three years old. Just as Jenna finished speaking, he seemed to have understood something. He looked up at her with his eyes that were filled with tears, and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Mom, are you serious? Dad didn't abandon us, right? He just wanted to chase that wicked woman away, right?"
Tears were glistening on his childish face, but his eyes were full of anticipation.
"Of course it's true. You have to trust me. How can Dad not want you anymore?" Jenna was afraid that he wouldn't believe her. So, she nodded her head with absolute certainty. With a solemn expression, she said, "Jerry, you have to remember that no matter what, Mom and Dad are the ones who love you the most. You are our pride and joy, and we will always love you."
As she said that, Jenna kissed his little face and patted him on the back.
After all, Jerry was only a three-year-old child. So, he was quickly convinced by Jenna's words, and a satisfied smile began to appear on his face.
Jenna picked him up and stood up.
"Jerry, Mom is going to Central Island right now. Stay in the room with Aunt Ella and don't go out, no matter what happens outside. Otherwise, Mom and Dad won't be able to catch bad guys at ease. Do you understand?"
"Yes, alright." Jerry wiped away his tears and solemnly nodded his head in agreement. "Mom, catch that bad woman in peace. I promise I'll stay at home and play games obediently. I won't disturb you, and I won't wander around."
Jerry acted as if he was an adult.
"That's good. Let's make a pinkie promise." Jenna finally showed a grateful smile on her face and hurriedly stretched out her pinkie.
Jerry was overjoyed. He stretched out his chubby little pinkie, and the mother and son locked their pinkies in a serious manner. Jerry wrapped his arms around Jenna's neck and praised her. "Mom, I really admire you as you can even chase away that evil woman. I'm really happy."
His little face was filled with happiness, as if that wicked woman had already been driven away by them. His smile was bright and brilliant.
Jenna's eyes were bloodshot, and her heart became sore and extremely heavy. She hugged him, kissed his little face, and then left reluctantly.
"Aunt Ella, you must take good care of Jerry at home. No matter what happens outside, you can't allow him to come out. I entrust this important task to you. You must remember it." Jenna repeatedly reminded Aunt Ella when she came out.
Until that moment, she still didn't believe that Hansen would marry Liya. She seemed to know him well. If he didn't like a woman, then no one could force him to marry her. If that was the case, then she was sure that that day's wedding would not be so simple.
Paul had already told her that the wedding was to save Claude. Even though she did not know why it was arranged like that, she still chose to believe in him and insisted on going on and holding the wedding for them.
She wanted to see all that with her own eyes.
Even if Hansen personally held Liya's hand and came up to her, she would still have to face it. If he really betrayed her, then she would completely give up.
She wanted all the cruelty to become a knife and cut her flesh one by one, so that she could see everything clearly. Then, her heart might be able to make a choice after that.
She was not afraid of facing the most terrifying things, but she was afraid that she might not be brave enough to face them.
She had to see her own life clearly, and examine the choices and persistences she had made before.
Since Hansen didn't want to tell her, there must be a reason for him to do so. That was why she didn't ask any further.
Nonetheless, she still had to face it in person.
If it was all true, then she wanted to see how Hansen still had the audacity to show up in front of her. If it was just a trap, then she would be able to help him.
Step by step, she walked towards the Central Island with firm steps.
"Miss Yates, it seems that Jenna can do nothing with Hansen marrying Liya. Otherwise, she would not be so sad." Octavia followed after Zoella and sighed as they walked.
The sinister smile on Zoella's face gradually rose.
"This is the result I want. I have always been unable to see through Jenna. So, I thought that she could not tolerate Hansen taking a second wife. I also thought that she was very scheming. But now, it seems that I can defeat her with ease by just using Liya. This is so much fun. It's a good thing for me as it saves me a lot of trouble." Zoella was deep in thought, and she seemed to have a delighted tone no matter how one looked at it.
If it was said that Octavia didn't understand Zoella's intentions for doing all of that, then after being through so much, she gradually understood the fact that Zoella had complicated feelings for Hansen.
Her feelings for him were quite distorted, and perhaps Zoella had those feelings for him ever since she was young. Octavia had reason to believe that when Zoella had a fever the last time, she was calling out for Hansen in her sleep right then.
It was just that Zoella was murmuring, and she couldn't hear it that clearly!
She hadn't been with Zoella for long. So, there were things she didn't quite understand, but she might have understood something by then.
