Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 744

"Really? Pinky promise." Jerry's eyes lit up as he wrapped his arms around Hansen's neck and kissed him on the face. Then, he patted his shoulder and said righteously, "Worry not, Dad. I'll take care of you when you're old."

Jerry's words amused Hansen, with tears moistening his eyes.

Holding Jerry in his arms, Hansen leaned against the headboard of the bed. Then, he said seriously, "Jerry, since I promised you, then you have to promise me one thing as well. You have to make a pinky promise, alright?"

"Oh, what is it?" Jerry tilted his head.

"Here's the thing, Jerry. You are turning four this year. Your mother has left us and will not be able to take care of you. As for me, I will be heading over to Capital City to work in a few days. Your grandparents are old now, and they don't have the energy to take care of you. According to my observations, you haven't been behaving well lately, and it's not a good thing. In fact, this is very serious. That's why I'm planning to send you over to England to study. I'm going to enrol you in the Royal National Academy, what do you think?" Hansen had never been so patient in explaining anything to Jerry, and at the same time also seeking his opinions.

Jerry's life was in a state of chaos, now that he had lost his mother. What he was doing right then could only be described as a little rogue, and no one could control him.

Marissa doted on him very much because he had lost his mother and suffered a lot at a young age. All the servants did not dare to offend him. Right then, he was just a little bully. Hansen was really worried that he would be corrupted by bad influence.

"Dad, do you intend to find a bad woman like Liya to be my stepmother once you send me away to England?" Jerry was not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately asked Hansen.

In the past few days, he had been hearing the servants talk about how young and powerful his father was. Not only that, he had a long line of pursuers.

As far as Jerry was concerned, this was an abysmal rumor. He just could not accept it.

This was the reason he had snuck into Hansen's bedroom to remind him. Otherwise, he would not have to worry about this.

The corners of Hansen's mouth curled up slightly as he looked at his son affectionately.

He reaffirmed in a serious tone again, "Silly boy, I promised you that your mother will be my only wife in this life. I even swore in front of Madam Lilian that day. You still don't believe me?"

"Well." Jerry lowered his head and thought for a long time before raising his head.

"Alright, as long as you don't find me a stepmother, then I'll promise you to study hard. Once I have the ability to take care of you in the future, I will do so in return," Jerry said seriously as he agreed to Hansen's request.

"Alright then, let's a pinky promise," Hansen immediately said when Jerry saw eye to eye with him. He was afraid that Jerry would go back on his word.

"Alright. Cross my heart and pinky promise." Jerry and Hansen cheerfully promised each other.

That was the first time Hansen had a smile in such a long time, a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.

"Hansen," Marissa called out. She heard Jerry's and Hansen's laugh as soon as she arrived at the bedroom door. She had a loving smile on her face as she walked in. She said to Jerry, softly, "Jerry, come here. Let's head to bed."

Jerry could not be any happier after Hansen made a promise to him. He immediately reached out for Marissa's hand and obediently followed her out.

Marissa turned around and said as she led Jerry to the door, "Hansen, wait for me at the study. I have something to discuss with you."

Hansen had long expected Marissa to look for him. His expression was very calm.

He had known that Marissa had something to discuss with him, but every time he would come up with some excuse to dodge the bullet. It seemed that he had to grab it by the horns then.

Well, there were some things that could not be avoided. It was better to make it clear.

Hansen, dressed in his nightgown, was standing in the study. The heater had been turned on, and the room was brimming with warmth. Autumn had come early that year, so the weather was much colder than in the past years.

"Mom, please take a seat," Hansen said indifferently as he held a shell in his hand and gently caressed it. He could hear someone entering the study and immediately knew the person was Marissa.

"Hansen." Marissa sat down on the couch in the study and greeted him. For a moment, she felt sad and lowered her head.

Hansen fumbled to sit opposite her.
