"You're back," she mumbled, "The food..is cold. I'll
go and heat it up."
She panicked and quickly picked up the dishes and headed towards the kitchen, avoiding him like the plague.
Hansen looked at her and did not stop her. There was a soft, warm smile on his face.
He walked to the couch and put his briefcase down. Then he sat down and turned on the large LCD screen TV. He clicked on the news channel. After a while, the aroma of the food drifted over which made his stomach growl. Only then did he realize that he was actually hungry.
When he was at the Richards Manor, he only took a couple of bites of dinner because he had no appetite to eat. However, now that he smelled the aroma of the food, he felt hungry.
"It's ready. Let's eat," Jenna placed the dishes on the table and spoke softly.
Hansen stood up happily and walked to the dining room.
On the table, there was a steaming hot bowl of soup. It was obvious that it had been boiling for quite a while, which explained its fragrance. The smell of it made his stomach growled even louder. He was very satisfied and sat down gladly. He picked up the bowl of soup and was about to drink it. However, he realized that Jenna was still standing beside him, with her head down, not saying anything.
"Have you had your dinner?" He turned to look at her.
Jenna shook her head with a cold face.
"Then why don't you grab a seat and join me?" He ordered. He had totally forgotten to inform her about his change of plans and should have asked her to eat first without him. He didn't expect that she would wait for him to start dinner. When he saw how thin she was, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. How could a woman be so thin? And her little face was so beautiful, but so uninteresting and indifferent.
Her expression was as cold as ice. He was very displeased with her attitude.
Jenna remained rooted to her spot and said in a low voice, "No, thanks. You go ahead and eat. I'm not hungry."
Hansen's eyebrows twitched, his face and eyes darkened. He said with some annoyance and dissatisfaction, "I asked you to sit down for dinner. Do you need me to repeat myself?"
Jenna thought, "This guy looks upset again!"
Jenna looked at his face, which was full of anger. If she were to trigger him any further, she would be the one to suffer. From her seesaw battles with him, she had gained a better understanding of his character. Obviously, if she wanted to live a better life, she'd better not provoke him, a temperamental beast!
So, she sat down. "Next time, you can cook whatever you like. You don't have to care about me. I'll eat anything." Seeing that Jenna had finally learned her lesson, the sullenness on Hansen's face only gradually faded away. He said amiably as he scooped some food and put it on her plate. He smiled evilly and said, "Eat more, otherwise how will you have the strength to please me?"
As soon as he said this, Jenna's whole body trembled. She immediately lost all of her appetites. She looked up and glared at him. There was a fire burning in her eyes. Hansen knew that she resented him, and she must be cursing him in her heart.
The corner of Hansen's mouth twitched slightly. He continued eating his meal with a look of indifference and poise.
"Come on, eat up. What are you looking at me for? Do you want to please me now? If you want, I'm always ready," Hansen joked lightly.
Jenna was annoyed, but she just kept on staring at him. There was anger, helplessness, and even hatred in her eyes.
Hansen was so calm and composed as he slowly tortured her. His face expressed an abominable expression of "What can you do to me?"
Jenna glared at him with hatred again. She lowered her head and ate silently, looking a little depressed.
"Eat more, otherwise, I'll get worse if you upset me," when she heard his threat again, she couldn't help but complain in her heart. "Does he not think about anything else? Why does he always keep these things in mind? Are all men like this or is he the only one who needs to have his brain rewired?"
"What do you think is the best thing that a woman can give to a man? No matter whether it's revenge, gratitude, or exchange, there's only one thing which is their bodies. What can a man do when he stays with a woman?" As if he had read her mind, Hansen deliberately approached her and caressed her fleshy earlobe with his hand as he explained evilly, as if he wanted her. That was something every normal man would want to do, and he couldn't be blamed for that.
Jenna stared at him with her eyes wide open, but she repeatedly denied it in her heart. What he said was wrong. She had known Rayan for so many years, why was he not as vulgar as him?
Rayan was always so gentle and polite. He never had any malicious thoughts in his head. Hansen was simply the only one who was so evil.
