Chapter 59 Explanation
“Since Miss Smith is here, shouldn’t we invite Rayan as well?” Frederic asked.
“Yes, Rayan should be here,” Chester also chimed in and turned his eyes to Hansen.
Hansen tightened his long fingers and leaned slightly against the sofa. His eyes swept over Jenna’s sullen face. No one could tell what was on his mind.
After a long time, he said calmly to Hilda, “Just do as you wish.”
Hilda blushed and took out her mobile phone.
Jenna clenched her fists tightly as she thought “Hansen, do you think it’s fun to do this?”
Hansen smiled bitterly in his heart and reached out to take the cigar handed to him by Frederic. He lit it up and took a deep breath. With the cigar between his fingers, he turned on the computer and started tapping his fingers on the keyboard and suddenly said, “The weather is fine today. It seems that it may rain for the next two days.”
“There’s no need to be afraid of rain. It’s even more exciting that way,” said Chester, who was brave and lofty-spirited.
The door of the private room was quickly pushed open, and Rayan’s tall figure appeared at the door.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jenna, who was sitting on one side, and a bright light flashed across his eyes.
“Jen, you’re here too?” He smiled faintly on his handsome face and opened his thin lips with his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation. Since he left her at the banquet last night, he couldn’t find her again. He didn’t know what had happened to her. He didn’t expect that Hilda would follow him to A City, let alone show up at last night’s party. He was looking for a chance to explain things to her!
Moreover, Hansen’s attitude towards Jenna was very unfriendly that night, which worried him a lot. Now that he saw that she was fine, he was relieved.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
With a gentle smile on his face, Rayan just nodded and greeted everyone pleasantly before walking towards Jenna without hesitation, without even looking at Hilda.
“Brother Rayan, you’re here!” Jenna opened her red lips slightly and smiled. She thought that Hansen was trying to embarrass her and thus she would not let his wish come true. There was nothing between her and Rayan, but Hansen tried to embarrass her and let her make a fool of herself. Since she did nothing wrong, she was not afraid of Hansen.
“Brother Rayan, sit down,” she stood up to give her seat to Rayan. Her voice was sweet and soft, as if she deliberately said it to Hansen.
Hansen’s face darkened instantly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but soon he calmed down.
“You d*mned woman, trying to provoke me? I’ll make you suffer later,” he gritted his teeth and felt angry in his heart, but his face was indifferent.
Rayan stood next to her and smiled gently. He shook his head and said, “I like standing,” then he spoke softly, “I prefer standing next to you.”
Jenna’s eyes lit up and her eyes twinkled as she smiled happily.
Men like Rayan were always humorous. No matter what he said, he would make people feel comfortable, unlike Hansen, who was eccentric and had never said anything decent.
After Rayan arrived, Jenna relaxed a lot, and smiled from ear to ear.
At least, she felt that there was someone who would treat her well.
Hansen felt that he had lost face so he stood up with a cold face.
The woman he had brought along was talking and laughing with another man while ignoring him, which made Hansen feel embarrassed. However, he also knew that Jenna was blaming him for inviting Hilda and obviously, she was deliberately taking revenge on him.
“Let’s go,” he stood up straight, taking the lead and walked out of the room.
Hilda stood there awkwardly, with a dry smile on her face.
Even Frederic could see the subtle relationship between them. He could not guess Hansen’s thoughts, neither could he suppress the excitement in his heart.
He thought that Hansen hated his ex-wife, but he still took her with him. When Rayan and Jenna acted intimately in public, he seemed to be indifferent. According to his experience, the more Hansen acted as if he was indifferent, the more likely he was pretending. Frederic had already known that Hansen invited them on the expedition because he wanted to please Jenna. When Annie and Carol looked at Jenna with a hint of disrespect, his eyes were full of killing intention!
He must still be in love with his ex-wife. Although they were divorced, maybe he’s going back on his word. Thinking of that, Frederic almost laughed out loud.
Others might think that Hansen liked Aria, but Frederic had been friends with Hansen since they were kids. It would be a mistake to assume that he did not understand Hansen at all.
A woman like Aria was definitely not Hansen’s cup of tea. It was just that Aria pestered him constantly. On the contrary, a woman as elegant and pleasant as Jenna was more to Hansen’s liking. The only problem was that he could not face his feelings honestly.
Jenna and Rayan were talking and laughing with each other so naturally that they completely ignored Hansen. Judging by the situation, she might have given up on Hansen. He secretly exclaimed in his heart “This is interesting. Hansen is in trouble now!”
Not only was Rayan a competent rival, but Hansen was the one who pushed Jenna into another man’s arms. Things were slowly getting interesting.
Frederic thought “Hansen, you’re such an arrogant guy. You deserve to suffer.”
Frederic was so excited. He exclaimed secretly “Hansen, serve you right! You have always gotten whatever you wanted, including women. However, Jenna is not the same. She is indifferent towards you. I want to see how you would deal with this.” Frederic was curious about how Hansen would act in his attempt to get back his beloved woman!
He smiled smugly and cunningly on his face. Ever since he was a child, Hansen had always appeared in front of him with absolute strength and advantage. He had long wanted to defeat Hansen to see what he would look like when he lost. Thinking of that, he even let out a wicked laugh.
The group quickly boarded the luxurious private liner. Suddenly, the cabin began to bustle with activity. The attendants had already prepared food and were waiting in the cabin.
“Let’s go,” Hansen ordered the captain who was standing next to him.
The captain agreed and walked towards the control room.
The women on board were proud of their noble status and often hung out together. They were familiar with each other and naturally sat together to enjoy the scenery. Jenna couldn’t talk to them, and she didn’t like how they acted. She felt ridiculous and disdainful of their thoughts of being proud of their husbands.
Therefore, she walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck, looking out at the view!
“Jen, it’s windy here. Be careful not to catch a cold,” Rayan came out with a glass of red wine and handed it to her, “Drink some wine to warm yourself. The wind here is cold and dry.”
“Thank you,” Jenna took the red wine from his hand and leaned against the railing. Since he entered the private room, Jenna had been attracted by his elegance and nobleness. The soft and friendly atmosphere made her feel comfortable and natural. She felt fortunate that he was around too otherwise she would have been miserable!
She secretly sighed that Rayan was so much easier to get along with than Hansen. When she was with him, she was happy and relaxed. Meanwhile, whenever she was with Hansen, he would either provoke her or ridicule her. Sometimes, she felt like fighting with him.
Her nose was red from the sea breeze and her cheeks were also blushing. Her white skin was fair and looked snow-white and delicate against the blue sea, which was extremely beautiful.
She gently shook the glass and slowly swallowed the red wine.
Rayan gracefully held the red wine glass, and the scarlet liquid did not move in the glass. Jenna sighed that a man like Rayan was born to drink red wine, just as Hansen was born to drive.
Even the posture of his fingers holding the wine glass was so beautiful that it was naturally noble. The blood-red liquid was shining in the glass, which was extremely dazzling. With his affectionate and gentle eyes, it revealed his noble and extraordinary identity, making many women fall for him.
For example, Hilda, who came for him from far away without any complaints. She must love him deeply. How courageous she was! Even though Rayan was as cold as ice to her, she had no complaints at all.
Jenna admitted that she couldn’t behave as Hilda did, and she didn’t want to take her lover away from her!
When she fell in love with Hansen, she kept it to herself. At that time, they were already husband and wife but she never dared to follow him openly and even pester him. It was even more impossible for her to chase after him across thousands of miles. She had always been passively waiting for him to take the initiative to approach her. If he did, she would be ecstatic. If he didn’t, she could only swallow her tears.
She had never been so bold to fight for his attention or dare to express her feelings.
That was just how she was.
Therefore, she was not Hilda, and she was destined not to get a perfect love. Even though she was in love with Hansen for years, she would rather take the bullet for him rather than tell him how she felt. It was because she really loved him from the bottom of her heart.
By no means would she ever be bold enough to reveal it, because she was not confident enough. She would rather bury it at the bottom of her heart forever, never to be known by others.
“Jen, are you willing to listen to my explanation?” Rayan looked at Jenna’s blushing face. Although she smiled slightly, she was not as lively as usual. The only thing in her eyes was loneliness. He didn’t want to see such an expression, because his heart would hurt. He really couldn’t bear to let her have a trace of sadness.
“What?” Jenna was awakened by Rayan’s words, looking at him with a smile on her face and her eyes full of doubts.
She didn’t understand what he said? He smiled bitterly, but he didn’t care. He didn’t want to waste any more time like this. He wanted to make it clear to her.
“Jen, it’s like this,” he cleared his throat and said very seriously, “I would like to explain about my fiancée, please believe me. Although I knew her before you, it doesn’t mean that I will love her and marry her. I will handle the engagement with her. Now I just want you to trust me. Do you understand when I say it like that?”
He spoke in a low, magnetic voice, which was very pleasant to the ear.
Jenna was soon influenced by his vibes. His words were so pleasant, gentle, and tender.
His fiancée was in the cabin, but he just confessed his love to her.
She was moved and her heart felt warm. However, his words were so sudden that she didn’t know what to say.
