Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen)

Chapter 22

Rayan was slightly stunned. There were always bootlickers every day, but he rarely met competitors like Hansen. At this time, however, Hansen was smiling and toasting him. He really sat down when Rayan invited him to. Rayan could feel the tension in the air, as if Hansen was challenging him.

Rayan was born to be a powerhouse, so he smiled politely at the moment. He raised his glass and gulped down the wine. He said generously, "I really didn't this was your territory, Mr. Richards. If I had known, I would have invited you to join us for lunch."

The wine slipped into their mouths and down their throat. Hansen's eyes narrowed and he smiled. Rayan also drank the wine in one gulp.

At this time, they looked peaceful and friendly, as if they were good friends that just reunited.

However, Jenna didn't think so. She felt an invisible pressure that made it difficult for her to breathe.

Guns and clubs, swords and spears!

As if she could smell the hostility in the air, she wanted to stand up and slip away.

However, Hansen seemed to have seen through her mind and stretched out a leg in front of her. It seemed that he did it on purpose, but his eyes did not even look at her from the start.

Jenna's breathing became shallow again as she thought, "What does he want?" They were just having a meal. What was wrong with having a meal together as friends? Although she worked under Richards Group, she didn't sell her body. He really was too controlling.

Of course, Jenna understood the sensitive nature of her work. After all, she was in the same industry, and she had even worked for the competitors before. That would understandably make people worry.

Sure enough, after putting down his wine glass, Hansen, who had never taken the initiative to pour wine for others, unexpectedly replenished Rayan's glass. He completely ignored Jenna and seemed to have forgotten the confrontation between them last night!

He didn't blush nor did he look nervous. Instead, he was unceasingly courteous.

Rayan was able to restrain himself very well. Since Hansen was polite to him, he also responded courteously. The two of them drank together, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

Jenna had never seen Hansen socializing in public. When she saw them talking about casual topics and occasionally smiling politely, she felt like a weight was off her shoulder.

Aria sat opposite them and looked at them with a cold expression.

In front of so many people, and in the presence of his beloved, he had to think about his own reputation. Moreover, this was his own shop, he couldn't ruin his reputation!

"Mr. Whalen, I heard that you're going to get married soon?" Hansen asked casually, his eyelashes drooping slightly after drinking a few glasses of red wine.

Jenna, who was cutting steak with her head down, suddenly shuddered and dropped the fork in her hand. It fell on the plate with a 'clank1!

Rayan was about to get married? Why didn't she know about it?

Hansen's seemingly casual remarks sounded harsh in Jenna's ears!

Since she had first met Rayan, she had never asked him about his personal affairs, nor did she want to ask him about them. They had been getting along well with each other.

But today, after that d*mned Hansen said it so casually, she was still surprised! Although she had never loved Rayan before, with her natural sensitivity, she felt it was too sudden and she was even slightly disappointed.

After all, they were so close, so why didn't he tell her that he was about to get married? She didn't want to be overly close to an engaged man, much less cause any scandals.

"Rayan, don't forget to invite me to your wedding," Hansen said. Jenna dropped her cutlery, and Hansen saw her disappointed face. He sneered in his heart, but he squeezed a sincere smile on his face. He maintained a natural expression as if he didn't even hear Jenna dropping her utensils on the plate.

However, Rayan's expression changed!

When he heard the sound of the fork dropping from Jenna's hand, he felt a twinge in his eyes. A trace of panic flashed across his face, and he looked at her with a little guilt.

Jenna knew that she had lost her composure.

"I'm sorry." She hurriedly picked up the fork, but out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced over at Hansen who was sitting next to her. She happened to catch his eye, and Jenna's face was burning hot. She hurriedly looked away.

The smile on Hansen's face became more obvious. In Jenna's opinion, it was a scornful and mocking smile, as if he was laughing at her for crossing the line and associating intimately with a married man.

Annoyance, displeasure, and all types of feelings surged. Jenna felt uncomfortable and scared at the same time, as if her whole body had been stripped naked by him and her bare self was exposed in the open.

This self-righteous guy must have thought that they had a relationship. However, what did it have to do with him? Did he have to come and rub it in her face?

"Jen, are you okay?" Rayan asked. Jenna's face was red and she looked uncomfortable. It made him nervous and he asked thoughtfully, "The steak is already cold, how about we get another plate?"

At this time, after hearing Rayan's concern for her, Hansen turned his head, acting as if he just saw Jenna sitting next to him.

There was a 'friendly' smile in his black eyes. The smile was full of sarcasm and complacency. His smile was so bright that Jenna gritted her teeth and wished she could punch him blind.

"No, thanks. I'm already full," she quickly lowered her eyes and said in a low and weak voice. The corner of her eyes fell on Hansen's five slender fingers, which was holding onto a wine glass. His beautiful finger was tapping nonchalantly on the wine glass, and it made him look proud and arrogant. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She really couldn't stay seated anymore.

Hansen smiled calmly and looked at Rayan in front of him, who was showing a flurry of emotions. The world talked about this man being gentle, elegant, rich, young, promising, handsome, and confident.

However, when it came to Jenna, he felt panic, confusion, pain and love.

This d*mned woman was really good at playing tricks!

Through a man's intuition, he understood the meaning in Rayan's eyes.

Hansen's heart was boiling with anger.

"I'm done eating. I'm leaving." Jenna stood up at the right time and said politely.

"Jen, wait." Rayan saw Jenna stood up and was about to leave, so he hurriedly sprung to his feet.

"Since you have finished eating, I won't bother you anymore." Hansen also stood up and smiled. He reached his hand out to Rayan like a gentleman.

Rayan hesitated for a moment and reciprocated his gesture in the end.

The two slender hands clenched together.

Rayan was concerned about Jenna, and all his attention was on her. When he saw her exiting, he wanted to rush after her.

However, Hansen's grip on Rayan's hand became tighter. Rayan wanted to get rid of his hand, but he was so strong that he couldn't loosen his hand, yet he couldn't just throw it off too. He could only hold it with a grudge and watched as Jenna left, step by step.

His eyes were sharp, and he understood what Hansen was doing, so he stared at Hansen closely.

They saw hostility in each other's cold eyes. First, it was slight, and then it intensified.

Sparks gradually appeared in Rayan's eyes. He had completely lost this round.
