Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Young Madam, if you don’t come back, Aria McAdams will replace you.” Aunt Ella was suddenly slightly nervous as she said, “That woman is scheming. She managed to brainwash Madam now, even the Young Master listens to her. I heard that Madam is preparing for their marriage. She wants Hansen to divorce you so that he can marry Aria. Their only fear is that the Old Madam will object. If she did, it would be tough for them to get married. However, Aria is determined to marry into the Richards family. She even told Madam that she loves Hansen a lot and she doesn’t mind that he has a wife. She is willing to be his second wife.” She continued, “Her words touched Madam’s heart and Madam promised her that even if the Old Madam objects, she will let her marry the Young Master and stay in the Richards Manor. Young Madam, don’t be silly, come home. While the Old Madam is still alive, she will definitely support you. Many young women dream to be the wife of the handsome Young Master. Think about it, Aria is Mayor McAdams’ daughter but she’s willing to be his second wife. You should take advantage of the fact that the Old Madam still has power and a say in the family. Moreover, the Old Madam fancies you, don’t waste this opportunity.”

Aunt Ella was nagging, and Jenna felt bitter but she couldn’t say anything. She just listened and responded vaguely. Then, she walked out of the ward.

Aunt Ella grew up in the Richards’ Manor. She saw with her own eyes how the men in the rich and powerful Richards family took second wives. Hansen’s grandfather himself had a second wife. Claude’s family was the descendant of the second wife, Madam Clancy.

However, Trevor and his wife had a good relationship. Marissa kept a close eye on Trevor so they did not encounter such a problem. Moreover, Trevor was naturally a loyal person. He did not want to see Marissa sad, so he never thought of marrying a second wife.

However, Claude married a second wife. She blatantly moved into the family home. In fact, it was normal for men from wealthy families to openly marry a second wife in A city.

Although the monogamy system was preferred, for the wealthy families, they did not care much. Everyone knew it well and was used to it. Furthermore, both the men and the women were willing to do it. Some women knew clearly that the men were married and had official wives, but still willingly married them.

It was too much of a temptation to marry into a wealthy family. As long as the second wife gave birth to a son, they would have no financial worries for the rest of their lives. They would live a good life as wealthy families were commonly generous to the second wives.

For example, in today’s entertainment industry, many female celebrities marry into wealthy families as second wives. They still acted happily and proudly. What’s more, the wives all got along well with each other.

Aria was the daughter of Mayor McAdams. It would be ridiculous to say that she was willing to marry into the Richards family as a second wife.

Not to mention, she was an arrogant woman, always looking down on most people. As Mayor McAdams’s daughter, it would be an embarrassment for her to be married as a second wife.

The fact that Aria told Marissa how she was willing to be a second wife was just to gain her favor.

Jenna lay in the ward for a whole day silently. She did not even take a step out of the ward.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Hansen never came back.

She fell asleep early and had different dreams. When she woke up again, it was already daytime.

After packing up, she notified the nurses and was discharged from the hospital earlier than expected.

She didn’t go anywhere. She just took a taxi to the Collier Manor.

Since Hansen would suspect that she might betray the company, she did not go anywhere. She would stay in the apartment so he could rest assured.

In the past few days, she had already thought of a perfect design for a new car. She wanted to draw it out quickly.

Back at the apartment, she turned on the computer and began to work hard. She quickly got into the zone.

In the afternoon, she went out to buy some groceries and then came back to cook for herself.

She hadn’t cooked for a long time. Today, she wanted to cook a few delicious dishes for herself.

The big kitchen was clean. Hansen had never cooked. That was right, how could a man like him cook? What’s more, he could easily find whatever he wanted to eat.

Jenna washed the vegetables and prepared some pasta.

She deliberately turned off her mobile phone to concentrate on cooking.

In the evening, Hansen hurried back.

As soon as he entered the door, he froze at the fragrant smell of food for a moment.

The kitchen was connected to the living room. Hansen took a few steps and saw the woman who was busy in the kitchen. She was wearing an apron and her hair was casually hanging on her shoulders. Her hands were cutting vegetables skillfully, while she took glances from time to time at the soup that was boiling in the pot.

He couldn’t get his eyes off her. Last night, he worked overtime to produce the invitations for the famous financial groups to attend the press conference for the new product launch. He had to personally make some calls in order to show his respect. He was so busy that he had no time to go to the hospital. When he was done with work, he was so tired that he fell asleep on the sofa.

After finishing his work this afternoon, he thought of Jenna who was in the hospital. He rushed to the hospital but the nurses told him that she had already been discharged from the hospital.

At that time, he was in a panic. Yesterday, he treated her rudely in his father’s ward. Would she get into trouble after being emotionally triggered like last time? After all, he didn’t visit her last night.

He quickly called her but her phone was switched off.

In a hurry, he searched everywhere. He even called Hannah, but he was scolded by her. Even Hannah had no idea where Jenna was.

He was rendered helpless and came to the apartment with a ray of hope. He didn’t think she would return to the apartment. Based on their confrontation these few days, he would expect her to go somewhere he could not find her. Perhaps, she would have gone to Rayan Whalen for comfort.

He sullenly came back and saw something unexpected. Jenna had already returned to the apartment and was cooking in the kitchen.

There was a trace of joy in his heart arousing.

Leaning against the door, he looked at her skillfully cutting vegetables and cooking, but his mood was inexplicably complicated.

Jenna was a noble lady from a famous family, but she didn’t have the delicate and reserved manner that a typical lady from a rich family would have. She had never put on airs and had a calm personality. Except towards him, she was modest and gentle to everyone. She never bullied others nor was she conceited.

He thought that maybe his grandma liked this about her and wanted him to marry her!

The pot was steaming, indicating that the steamed fish was ready to be served. She turned off the fire and opened the lid as she wanted to take out the fish.

“Be careful.” Hansen saw that she didn’t put anything on her hand before taking out the fish from the pot. The fish was steaming hot, she would definitely be scalded. He screamed in a hurry.

Sure enough, when Jenna’s hand touched the side of the plate, she felt the heat and quickly jerked her hand away.

“Look, you almost got scalded.” Hansen hurried forward and grabbed her hand. Seeing a small blister on her delicate fingertips, he couldn’t help nagging at her.

Jenna raised her head in surprise, only to see that Hansen had actually come back.

“It’s nothing.” She smiled at him and quickly ran cold tap water on her finger.

“Why did you get discharged in advance? You’re bold enough to discharge yourself without my consent.” Hansen deliberately put on a poker face. He thought of how worried he was when she hid herself and cried alone, and wondered if she would fall ill again like the last time.

“I’m fine now. I don’t need to stay in the hospital. Besides, I still have work to do. I’ve been down for a few days,” Jenna answered indifferently. Then she raised her head and smiled sweetly. “By the way, I guess you haven’t eaten yet. Let’s eat together. I’ve made your favorite dishes.”

Hansen was stunned. She smiled brightly and her teeth were showing. She didn’t look like she was unhappy. It was as if she did not remember him scolding and shouting at her in Trevor’s ward the day before.

He couldn’t understand this woman. She would burst into tears and cry sadly when nothing had happened. However, she was being scolded yesterday but she was acting indifferently now. She really was a freak!

Perhaps it was because of guilt! After all, she was the culprit who caused his father to become like that.

He was relieved!

Jenna quickly placed the dishes on the table. Hansen took a look and it was really all his favorite dishes. She even prepared his favorite mushroom soup.

“Come, let’s have some red wine.” Hansen happened to be hungry and was so excited that he opened a bottle of expensive red wine.

“Okay.” Jenna sat down and smiled, generously agreeing.

“Come, eat this. This is your favorite steamed fish.” Jenna picked up a piece of fish and put it on his plate.

“How do you know that I like to eat this fish?” Hansen asked with burning eyes, staring at her.

Jenna froze a little before she smiled, “I heard from the workers at home.”

“I see.” Hansen’s eyes dimmed, and he raised his glass, “Come, Jenna. If I remember correctly, this should be our first meal together. A toast to you.”

“Sure.” Jenna raised her glass slightly, but she felt bitter inside. They had been married for four years, but this was the first time they had eaten together alone.

It used to be so cold and distant between them.

They were probably the weirdest couple in the world!

“Jenna, I’m sorry. I might have hurt you in my dad’s ward yesterday. I was emotional and couldn’t control myself. I promise that this will never happen again. Like I said, forget everything in the past. Come, cheers.” Hansen’s eyes were a little reddish. He was blaming himself, then he downed the glass of wine.

“It’s okay, let bygones be bygones,” she shook her head and finished her glass of wine too.

“Come, eat some.” Hansen brought a piece of chicken to Jenna’s mouth. Jenna opened her mouth generously. He smiled slightly and put it into her mouth lightly.

The two laughed at the same time, the atmosphere was fun and harmonious.

For the first time, Hansen felt at home in this apartment.

“I have something to say.” The two spoke at almost the same time, then froze at the same time, laughing almost simultaneously. “You speak first,” he said.

“You should go first.” Jenna wanted to hear what he had to say.
