Marissa felt furious about what happened. She tried to cool herself down with the exquisite fan in her hand but to no avail. Then, she pulled out her phone and called her daughter-in-law.
However, her son picked up the call instead.
"Mom, how come you're calling so early in the morning? What's wrong?" Hansen slept late the night before. Although he had taken good care of himself, despite being middle-aged, he was as fit as a young man. He still had urges in bed as usual.
Hansen had just woken up from his sleep when he picked up the call and it was Marissa's call that woke him up. He was worried that the sound would wake Jenna up, so he quickly picked up the phone instead.
Marissa was stunned, and she pulled a long face. "What do you mean? Are you complaining about the fact that I'm calling you?"
"How could that be? I asked you that because I just thought that it must be an important matter for you to call at this hour. Who angered you? Where's Jepherson? Isn't he with you?" "He was the one who angered me. Can you pay more attention to your son and teach him some manners?" Marissa complained. Hansen was surprised because Marissa had always been very protective of Jepherson.
"What's the matter? What did he do this time?" Hansen said as he moved his hand to Jenna's face. He caressed her face with the back of his fingers and moved her hair out of her face. There were barely any signs of aging on Hansen's and Jenna's faces. Jenna's hair were soft like how it was when she was young.
The cover was pulled downwards and Jenna's smooth and fair shoulders were revealed.
She was lying in bed without clothes on. As the covers were pulled downwards, her beautiful back was shown. There were faint kissing marks on her back and she looked breathtaking.
It had been years since they had been on a honeymoon together, therefore Hansen was extremely passionate.
When Hansen noticed the kiss marks on Jenna's back, he couldn't help but to lean in to kiss her back again. Jenna was at her limit and she would be risking her life if they continued. Therefore, she chose to play dead.
Hansen felt bad for Jenna, so he pulled the covers back up to cover her and focused on his phone call with Marissa.
"It's about the engagement of course. I've already told you many times that you should urge Jerry in this matter but you didn't bother with it. None of you listened to me."
"Now, things are awkward with Deanna from the Whalen family. Why didn't you settle this matter earlier? There's no point waiting on it."
"Didn't we agree to talk about this matter only after Jepherson graduates from school? Despite your interest for Deanna to be with Jepherson, you know the rules of the Richards family, which was to accept polygamy. Rayan is not going to agree with that." Hansen had always wanted to remove this crazy rule of the Richards family because it was allowing men to have fun behind their wives' backs and also putting women in unnecessary pain.
Unfortunately, it was a difficult mission. Hansen had brought up the issue many times but Marissa had always disagreed with it. It was obvious what intentions she had in mind.
Although she had no intention to make him marry again, she wanted to keep the rule, so that she could have a way to upset Jenna or warn her.
Hansen didn't need anyone else other than Jenna, and he didn't wish for his son to have more than one wife either.
A man should be loyal to one woman in his life.
Hansen wanted to use this as an excuse to get rid of this rule in the Richards family. This way, the Richards family could avoid affairs from happening under the excuse of passing on the family name.
It's a modern society and for a man to have more than one wife legally, no one from a decent family would allow their daughter to be involved in that.
Let alone Rayan.
Hannah would cut ties with them.
