Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 1806

Jenna held her son's hand. "Santiago, Mommy's tired. Don't you want to open your eyes and cheer me up? Aren't you tired after staying quiet for so long?"

Hansen clearly heard everything she said in between tears through the door.

He turned to look for the key to the door. Before he could, however, Jenna was already up by the room's entrance. She had stopped crying as she stood by the closed door and told Hansen from inside. "If you come in, I'll go out."

Hansen had barely held the keys for more than a few seconds before he put them back. A few minutes later, Jenna returned to her youngest son's side. After he heard her retreating footsteps, Hansen sat back down on the couch.

He recalled those days when they were young, the memories strung back together again. Perhaps as they got older, they began to do nothing.

Hansen did not shut his eyes for the whole night. It was only when morning arrived that he unconsciously fell into slumber. He dreamt of the moment when his little son was born and he was overcome with joy.

When he roused from his sleep, Jenna was in front of him with a plate of food that she had prepared.

"All this while, I've been the one to take care of our son. Our son was born from the both of us, me and you. Now, it's your turn to take care of him. I'll be going to the Green House in a little bit, I want to see Shaney."

With that said, Jenna stood and put on her coat to head outside.

"Come back," Hansen intoned coldly. Jenna paused and turned her head to look into Hansen's ice- cold face.

"What is it?" Jenna couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, just you can't go. It's too cold outside and you're in poor health. Besides, numerous people have gone there due to this matter. Who cares about you alone?"

Hansen stood up and refused to let her go.

"Why are you always like this?"

"What my characteristics are has no relation to whether you can go out or not. I've already called ahead to see if this problem can be settled peacefully. If not, there's nothing I can do."

Hansen had also tried to clear up this issue, but the higher- ups dare not interfere with Austin's matter. This meant that they themselves were afraid of him, therefore it goes without being said that everything that happened had been implemented in accordance to Austin's plans.

Jenna only stood for a moment before she tried to leave again. Hansen pleaded, "Jenna, please trust me once more. This matter is not aimed at the child, neither is it aimed at us but at Jerry.

I'm not sure about the relationship between Austin and Raeleigh, but they are definitely not people who would hurt him. Don't worry, Jerry and the others will come back safely."

Jenna looked back at Hansen. "How do you know?"

"I know because I do. I won't lie to you."

Jenna studied Hansen's appearance and finally quieted down. They had been married for so many years and she knew him well. But what about the child?

Jenna asked in melancholy, "You swear?"

"I swear."

Jenna returned to the couch then and sat there in a daze. Hansen also sat down and picked up his plate of food. As he ate, he asked, "How did you get to see Shaney? How come I didn't know?" "There is a photo of her in Raeleigh's phone. I saw it." Jenna had nothing to hide at this point, she might as well disclose the truth.

Hansen gazed at his beloved wife. "Do you have the picture now?"

In fact, he also wanted to see it.

Jenna looked at him in annoyance. "It's all because of you people. You let Raeleigh distrust you to the point where she wouldn't let you see. I wanted to forward the photo, but Raeleigh set it in such a way that a password is needed to send things out. I don't have the password, hence I can't send it out. I have tried many ways but they were all in vain."

Jenna thought of all the tricks that she used up, all the ideas that she had exhausted and still she couldn't find a way to forward that one single photo. This really troubled her heart.

Hansen said in exasperation, "I've never seen you be so stupid. Can't you use your own phone and discreetly snap a picture?"

Jenna abruptly looked at him in realisation. "Why didn't I think of that?"

"What can you think of?"

Hansen was depressed. He couldn't take in the last mouthful of his meal and put down his plate. He then got up and paced back and forth across the floor. Jenna asked after she watched him for a bit, "What are you doing? I'm dizzy just looking at you."

"Tell me what she looks like. If not, you can also draw it out." Like an excited child, Hansen grabbed a few sketch papers plus a pencil and handed them over to Jenna. He then sat down and waited.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to draw well."

"You're a designer. Why won't you be able to draw well? Hurry up and draw."

Hansen couldn't wait to know what his granddaughter looked like. Jenna frowned. She actually was quite reluctant to draw, afraid that she couldn't capture the essence of the subject well. For in her eyes, her granddaughter was the most beautiful of all.

However, now she's being forced and with such anticipation. She took up the pencil and started to sketch.

Raeleigh stood in the courtyard and stared at Austin as he played with her daughter, as well as Cedric and Heitor. The two boys seemed to like her daughter very much.

It's not that she didn't like those two, but they didn't seem pleased because of what happened to her daughter and just the previous day, they mentioned how when they grow up, they'd stay together with Shaney. Her daughter was still very young and told her everything about this. Raeleigh felt that this wasn't a good sign of things to come.

"Uncle, why hasn't Dad come in yet?"

"Shaney, did you hope to leave me behind and go with your Dad?" Austin bent down and picked up the little girl. He pecked her on the cheek, then gave her a piggyback ride. He carried her around on his back while he patted her at the same time.

Shaney bent over his head. "I don't know. I can't see Dad's face."

Raeleigh stood to the side, "Didn't you already see his photos?"

"How can it be the same? I still like an actual person."

"Oh, you brat...why did you cry so loudly? It's not like I was going to throw you down for real."

Raeleigh's face went taut, extremely unhappy. She thought back to what happened earlier, to how terrified Jepherson was when the child cried up a storm. Even she had thought it was real, let alone Jepherson.

Raeleigh found it hard to think the situation through with a clear mind back then. However, the child was fine after she came down, her tears packed away faster than they fell.

Raeleigh got extremely crossed, but the little girl embraced her and apologised for her wrongs, which softened her heart almost immediately.

"Uncle was the one who wanted me to cry." Shaney stated this with some innocence to her tone. Raeleigh rolled her eyes and remarked, "You talked as if you are the only one in the world who is most innocent."

"Yup." Shaney laid there and popped her agreement. Raeleigh also didn't know what to say. Whose personality did this child share similarities with?

She wasn't like this when she was little. This act to play dumb to take advantage of someone was impressively convincing for her age.

"Big brother."

Raeleigh noticed then that Austin was about to leave. She did not have time to talk too much with her daughter. She called out to him, which made him stop and turned around, "Speak."

"You can't just lock us up like this forever. Jepherson isn't an ordinary person. Do you think he'll leave the matter as it is? If you had wanted Shaney to stay by your side, then you shouldn't have let

him know about her existence. Now that you did, he won't give up. Shaney is his, he'll do everything he can to get her back.

There's nothing to benefit from your actions."

"He can't stop me. I'm just letting him know of the child's existence. As he struggles to steal the child back from me, to look at him being thwarted at every turn really soothes my soul."
