Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 88

"Miss McAdams, Grandma Richards only wants to see Mayor McAdams. Please sit back down," Meroy's voice brought Hansen back from his daze. He looked up and realized that Aria intended to follow her father inside, but was politely stopped by Meroy.

Aria's face darkened and she looked unhappy. She had no choice but to return to her seat and sit down next to Hansen.

"Hansen, why does Grandma Richards want to see my father?" She smiled sweetly and asked in a low voice.

Hansen glanced at Jenna as he shook his head and replied in a troubled state of mind, "I don't know."

He really wanted to know what Grandma Richards had said to Jenna. He did not want Grandma Richards to change her liking for Jenna. He hoped that Grandma Richards would continue to love her. However, as he realized this, even he was taken aback by the feeling. He did not even bother to ponder over Aria's question.

About 20 minutes later, Earl emerged from the bedroom. His expression was calm and aloof, and his eyes behind his gold- rimmed glasses were elusive.

"Dad, what did Grandma Richards say to you?" Aria leaned over and asked in a low voice. Earl's expression was so subtle that he just looked at her with a meaningful look, but he didn't say anything.

Aria was apprehensive. If it was good news, her father would definitely have told her, but he didn't, not even the slightest sign of it. However, there was no sign of that utter disappointment in her father's eyes either. His expression was as calm as ever, not even a sign of anything. The uneasiness in her heart was slightly relieved.

After a while, Meroy came out with Grandma Richards from her room.

Grandma Richards was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing an old-fashioned vermilion dress. Her white hair was fluttering in the wind, but she was hale and hearty. Her face was flushed, and she was smiling. There was no sign of tiredness on her face.

"Hello, Grandma," Everyone stood up and greeted her.

"Hello, everyone," Grandma Richards was grinning from ear to ear. She waved at everyone and everyone sat back down.

"Mayor McAdams, sorry to have troubled you. Thank you for taking the time out to celebrate my birthday with my family. I am very grateful!" Grandma Richards politely thanked Earl, the only outsider among the attendees. Her voice was full of gratitude. Earl hurriedly stood up and smiled at her, saying calmly, "Grandma Richards, it is your 90th birthday after all. It's my pleasure to be here."

At this time, everyone began to wonder. What was Grandma Richards up to? Wasn't she always against his daughter marrying Hansen? Now she was acting like this so did she finally approve their marriage? Did she just invite Jenna over to disassociate her from Hansen? If that's the case, Jenna would be able to turn over a new leaf. The moment they thought of this, they felt sorry for her. Some gave her sympathetic glances, but many more were disdainful looks.

Marissa was over the moon. It seemed that her son's marriage was finally settled and she could begin getting ready for the wedding!

"Today is my birthday. I am not getting any younger and not as energetic as I used to, therefore, I will not be able to accompany you young people for long. I have a few important announcements to make. Then, my family will accompany me to pay respects to the ancestors. After that, I'll go back to rest," Grandma Richards paused for a while. She was a little tired because she had consumed too much energy today.

She took a deep breath and waved Meroy over. Meroy immediately took out a red booklet from the side of the wheelchair.

Everyone in the living room sat up straight, stretched their necks, and held their breath. All of a sudden they became nervous, not knowing what decision Grandma Richards was going to announce. In the quiet living room, Hansen's heart was pounding in his chest as he looked at Jenna, who was still standing in the corner silently. He felt anxious and uneasy.

What would he do if Grandma Richards were to announce that her name was officially removed from the Richards' family tree?

If that was the case, didn't it mean that he was going to lose her forever? He would never be able to have her anymore. The image of the good moments they shared the night before yesterday flashed through his mind and he was getting nervous.

Meroy slowly opened the red booklet in her hand and read it aloud and clearly,

"I, Vivian, on behalf of the ancestors of the Richards family, would like to announce that firstly, Hansen Richards' right of inheritance of the Richards Manor will all be transferred to Jenna Murphy."
