Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 78

"Ah, Georgia, this is not what Hansen or I want. You should know that Hansen's grandmother is still alive and she is the only one who has the final say in family matters, especially in the Richards Manor. After all, the Richards Manor is left to her by the Old Master. We're helpless too!" Marissa explained desperately.

Georgia's face was getting darker, and Earl's gaze was sharp. He was used to seeing such a big commotion. Nevertheless, he always kept his composure.

"Hansen, I want to listen to your opinion on this matter. I want to hear what you have to say," he spoke softly, but he was staring at Hansen. If Hansen was not calm and courageous enough, he would not be able to speak his mind.

However, Hansen said calmly, "Uncle, you know that this is my second marriage, and I am also a descendant of the Richards family. I can only listen to my elders in some matters. I have already made it clear to Aria that day and asked her to think thoroughly. In the beginning, I didn't want to talk about this, but now that we've talked about it, I can honestly tell you that I can't disobey Grandma and I don't want to either. She is the one who has the final say in the Richards Manor. Since I am the descendant of the Richards family, I should respect the ancestors of the Richards family and I can't afford to be cursed for being ungrateful." He said politely and sincerely without any hesitation. His grandmother's birthday was in two days' time. He initially did not want to discuss anything about the marriage as he did not want his grandmother to be upset on her birthday. However, now, he could not do anything about it since they had already brought up the topic.

Earl narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement. He solemnly said, "I never thought Hansen would be so filial to his elders. I'm impressed. It's very rare for young people nowadays. However, have you ever thought about it? Last time, you also married Minister Murphy's daughter on your grandmother's order but your married life had been unhappy and that's what led to the current ending. Are you sure you want to go down that road again?"

Marissa heard this and thought of the past. Her face darkened and she couldn't help but chimed in,

"Mayor McAdams, this matter is quite simple actually. As you know Hansen's grandmother is old and Hansen is filial, we don't want to disobey her just yet, but we don't know what's going to happen in the future. Hansen is devoted and will only marry Aria. He will definitely treat her well in the future. You can rest assured about this. As long as I am here, I can guarantee it."

Everyone could understand the meaning behind Marissa's words. She meant that, once Hansen's grandmother passed away, she would be the eldest in the family. She would make sure that Aria gets the title she deserved. After all, when there is a will, there is a way.

"No, Mom, it is not as simple as you think. You have to take it seriously, or it will be unfair to Aria," Hansen didn't think so. He sat up straight and was very dissatisfied with Marissa's statement as he immediately corrected her seriously.

Earl was not stupid. Marissa's statement was just an empty promise. There were too many variables in this matter. Hansen's cautious attitude spoke for itself. He had been in politics for many years, he knew too well that many things change in an instant. How could he do such an impossible illusory thing with no guarantee? After all, it was his only daughter's big day they were talking about. Therefore, he could not afford to be sloppy.

He adjusted his glasses and his pupils constricted. He said calmly, "Since Grandma Richards' 90th birthday will celebrate her ninetieth birthday the day after tomorrow, we should come over to celebrate it. It's not easy to live until this age. Our family should come over and help celebrate Grandma Richards' birthday. Since Hansen is having a hard time, we can't force him. Let's talk about it later."

"But..." Georgia was about to speak when she saw

Earl standing up and saying, "Georgia, it's getting late. Let's not disturb them any longer. We'll head home first."

Aria was very unhappy. She did not expect that they could not come to a conclusion. She thought that with her father's help, they would be able to come up with something. She didn't expect that they would come up with nothing. She was disappointed and disheartened.

She didn't want to leave and wanted to stay with Hansen in the Richards Manor. However, Earl looked at her sternly, so she couldn't resist.

"Let's go," Earl's said seriously. There was a hint of unhappiness in his words. She couldn't go against his orders. He thought that if his daughter kept pestering a man, she would demean herself.

When Georgia saw Earl's attitude, she had to go forward and take Aria by the hand, pulling her away from Hansen.

"Hansen, do you think we were a little disrespectful to Mayor McAdams?" Marissa complained to Hansen with anxiety and worry after the McAdams family left.

The corners of Hansen's mouth twitched. He was in a state of indifference and did not take it seriously. Marriage was not child's play. He had learned that from his previous marriage. This time, he must point out the important matters and make a thorough understanding of the things that should be clarified, lest they all regret things later.

"Mom, marriage is a huge deal and no one can change what Grandma has decided. We have to make it clear first. It is not good for us to hide it," Hansen was very dissatisfied with Marissa, "Mom, I think I did the right thing and I think Mayor McAdams understands. Besides, these are my private affairs, so please don't get involved in the future."

After saying that, Hansen ignored Marissa and walked outside.

"Stop, stay right there! What are you talking about?" Marissa was embarrassed by Hansen's words. She shouted at Hansen, who was about to go out, "I'm doing this for your own good. The last time I listened to your grandmother, I allowed that b*tch to marry into our family and make a mess of our house. Why should we listen to her now? What era are we in now? She still has that old school mentality and wants to control your marriage, with no regard for your feelings. There is no such thing in the world. Do you think this is a feudal society? Let me tell you this, you are my son and I will not let history repeat itself again."

Hansen stood still. His eyes turned cold as he turned around and said to Marissa, "Mom, Grandma doesn't care about me. She allows me to make my own life choices, but Richards Manor belongs to Grandma. Grandpa left everything to Grandma and she has the right to decide, that's a fact that no one can change. She is the only elder in the Richards family. We can choose to leave, choose to live our own lives, and choose not to inherit the Richards Manor, but are you willing to forgo everything? Would Aria be willing to let go? Even if I never marry again in my life except for Aria, without Richard Manor, she would not be able to be recorded in the family tree; she will always be a concubine. Do you think she would be willing to marry me?"

The strange light in his eyes shone, and he said solemnly, "Mom, please stay out of my affairs from now on. You should just live your own life and take good care of Dad. Also, when Jenna lived in Richards Manor, ask yourself, we didn't treat her fairly either. We cannot blame her entirely, don't you think?"
