Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 32 A Gift



A woman would want her beloved husband to be with her every day, and to spend all his time with her. She had been longing for this moment for so long.

But now, she actually experienced what she had been dreaming of for just a fleeting moment. However, she felt extremely conflicted!

She knew he loved Aria, but he was about to marry her!

For Hansen, Jenna was just a woman he had abandoned. Now, for the sake of his company, he used his power to threaten her. She was merely a tool whom he had used to bring profits to his company.

Jenna felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

That year in university, as she exited the library amidst the setting sun, she ran into the masculine and handsome Hansen. He smiled at her, and his eyes seemed as if they could see right through to her heart.

Jenna blushed!

Actually, that was not the first time she saw him. She remembered that when she first met him, she was only fifteen years old.

That day, her father had brought her to a party. She saw the grandmother of the Richards family who took her hand and asked her questions from time to time. However, her eyes were glued to the handsome and shy boy beside her. His mysterious temperament, steady behavior, and those eyes attracted her attention, but he never looked at her at all.

He just kept staring outside, and did not pay her any attention at all. At that time, she felt disappointed.

Perhaps since then, her fate had already been decided!

All the way to the traumatic heartbreak she was experiencing now.

She took a deep breath. With a scene like this, deep down in her heart, she didn’t even resist him. Even if there was only one night, even if he was to marry Aria tomorrow, she would enjoy this feeling.

This was something that runs true for women. Once a woman falls in love, they would lose themselves, in a way that was almost akin to sacrificing themselves.

Jenna was like this now. She already felt that she was irredeemable.

“What are you thinking about?” Suddenly, Hansen had already finished his bath and came out of the bathroom. He was wearing simple pajamas, and they were of brilliant quality. The smooth and comfortable linen lined on his fit body, the mint scent from the shampoo pervading faintly.

This kind of scent once made Jenna obsessed and intoxicated! If it was three years ago, how happy would it be for her, but now they were like strangers.

Jenna woke up and realized that tears were flowing out from the corners of her eyes. She licked her red lips and felt bitterness at the tip of her tongue. Her nose also felt numb, and she lowered her head.

Suddenly an image flashed through her eyes. It was him holding Aria and speaking softly. His soft words pierced Jenna’s fragile heart.

Hansen sat up on the opposite side of the sofa with an indescribable feeling rising in him.

She was crying!

She must be feeling sad because of the contract she signed today. He sighed in his heart. Running a business was like strategizing during a war.

How would he allow her to stay at the company if she was reluctant to sign the contract? Not to mention, she was going to be able to access confidential company information.

This was not in line with his character. Since he had promised, he had to sign the contract. This was his principle. It was also the company’s principles.

“Don’t worry, as long as you can complete the task and keep your promise, the reward Richards Group will give to you will not be worse than Whalen Group. Trust me.” His eyes were burning, and his words were as resolute as iron.

The bitterness in Jenna’s heart snowballed. In his eyes, it was always about money and interests!

There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She stood up and faced him coldly.

Hansen raised his head slightly and looked at her from head to toe. There were circles of flames in her eyes, which seemed to set her dark and deep eyes on fire.

He could see the anger building up within her, however, it gradually dissipated.

He saw disappointment, despair and coldness in Jenna’s eyes.

This d*mned woman was always like this. He was talking to her in an agreeable manner just now, but she didn’t appreciate it and was even so hostile to him.

Hansen admitted that he had never forced a woman before, but now, his means might have been too overbearing. This was also the first time he used such a method to keep a woman by his side.

He would not admit to it, however. He always thought that he was not wrong to behave that way!

“From tomorrow onwards, your office will be on the eighty-eighth floor, right beside mine. The design department will be set up tomorrow. The next few days will be tiring, you have to get yourself ready, go to bed early.” Hansen was not used to Jenna looking down at him, so he immediately stood up and ordered solemnly.

“You will sleep in the bedroom next to mine. If you need anything, you can tell me at any time.” Hansen took the lead in walking into the bedroom. After a few steps, he threw over a gold card and said, “If you need anything, just get it for yourself.”

He left, but his unique mint smell was still in the air.

Soon, the lights in his bedroom went out.

Jenna didn’t take his card and went to sleep in her own bedroom!

She didn’t need anything as the house had all sorts of supplies. Hansen had prepared all the daily necessities for her, including her personal toiletries. All of them were of high quality.

Their work entered an intensely busy mode…

In the next few days, Jenna and Hansen went to the company almost at the same time. They stayed with each other almost every day and began to prepare for the key project of the press conference which was the design of the car model. It was as if they were preparing for battle.

Hansen was like a madman when he was working. He could stay in front of the computer all night and do everything on his own.

Jenna’s design department moved next door to his office. He stayed in his office almost every day and supervised it personally, which made the staff of the design department complain. Which employee would be willing to have their boss standing next to them and stare at them all day?

Under his supervision, all the staff of the design department had entered a state of extreme seriousness.

Jenna also began to focus fully on her work.

For several days and nights in a row, Jenna, who should have been very tired, was in high spirits. There was no trace of exhaustion in her.

“For you.” Back at the apartment in the evening, Jenna was still racking her brain in front of the computer, but Hansen came in with a cheerful face and handed her a box.

“What’s this?” She lifted her head and her face was full of confusion. Hansen was behaving normally these days and did not harass her. It could be said that he was very gentlemanly and was modest and polite. Although he would occasionally argue with her about work matters, it was still acceptable to Jenna.

Jenna’s demeanor was much better, she didn’t treat him as coldly as she did at the beginning.

“Have a look.” Hansen had a sly smile on his face.

Instinctively, she thought that it should be a gift.

But why would Hansen give her a gift? Jenna felt it was a little unbelievable.

She slowly opened it up. The living room dimly lit up with warm lights, and the setting was a little dreamy. The box was packaged exquisitely. At a glance, Jenna could tell that it was something expensive.

A flash of gold emanated from her hands, shining brightly. It then flashed a dazzling white, stunning Jenna immensely.

It was the latest iPhone with gold inlaid with a row of diamonds. The phone was glittering brightly.

At this time, the light in the room was not particularly dazzling, but the shiny diamonds glittered incessantly. It was exquisitely crafted, and each of the heavy diamonds was perfectly cut.

If she guessed it right, it should be a custom made phone, something that could not be purchased on the market.

The gift made her heart swell and she felt touched, but also a little sad.

In her memory, this was the first time Hansen gave her a gift. They had known each other for such a long time, but this was the first time that he had taken the initiative to give her a gift.

She blinked her eyes in disbelief, as she inhaled sharply. Her breathing was hoarse and every breath she took twisted her nerves.

She pursed her red lips and her hands trembled slightly. Was this excitement?

“It’s Saturday today. Go to bed early, you don’t have to work overtime. I’m going to bring your design department somewhere tomorrow for a field trip,” he said calmly. There was nothing special on his face. He did not feel like it was inappropriate for him to give her a gift like that. On the contrary, he felt like it was normal.

Jenna listened to his indifferent tone, and the enthusiasm that had just surged in her heart suddenly subsided.

Yes, for someone as wealthy as Hansen, a gift like that diamond phone was very common. What’s more, he must have given many gifts to other women already, so this gift was not a big deal at all.

She took a deep breath. Fortunately, she managed to suppress her tears.

Could she be a little more steadfast? How could she turn so emotional because of some little gift?

Jenna felt uncomfortable in her heart. She felt a little annoyed by her embarrassment. She despised herself for how she felt!

A melodious ringtone sounded…

“Hansen, where are you? Hurry up. My parents are waiting,” Aria said anxiously on the other side of the phone.

“Oh, okay. I’ll be right there.” Hansen answered the phone while lowering his head as he picked up the bag on the sofa. He was ready to go out.

Jenna only realized that he was going out that night. She looked at him carefully and found that he was wearing a neat and expensive custom-made suit on his slender body. This suit was ordered through a well-known brand from abroad. Every part of the suit was crafted exquisitely. There was nothing excessive on it, and it made his well-built body look good and his hair looked very neat.

For him to dress up like this, it was very likely that he was going to attend a formal occasion.

A sense of loss flashed through Jenna’s heart for no reason.

In the past few days, they had been together every day and she had gotten used to it. When she saw him going out, she felt inexplicably sad.

In order to not let him see through it, she lowered her head in a hurry.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Carrying the bag, Hansen walked to the door.

“Oh right, please pass me that folder,” Hansen, who had just walked to the door, turned his head and told Jenna politely.

Jenna endured the pain in her heart, raised her head, and looked around for the folder.

“It should be in the bedroom,” Hansen told her after thinking for a while.

He stood by the door and waited for her. The moment Jenna stood up, she felt that the whole place was empty.

Hansen’s bedroom was filled with luxury goods. There were not a lot of things but everything was in order.

A folder lay on the mahogany stand. The cover was blank. She didn’t know what kind of documents were in it. It was heavy.

Jenna picked up the folder and walked out.

“Aria, order the dishes first and take care of your parents. I’m still stuck in traffic, I’ll be there soon.” Hansen was talking on the phone as he faced towards the door, so he didn’t notice Jenna approaching.

Jenna stiffened.

It turned out that he was going to meet Aria’s parents.

Jenna’s heart instantly felt as if it had been pricked by needles. All this time they had been together, and she seemed to have gotten used to it. As he was leaving today, it felt as if she suddenly woke up from a dream. She couldn’t get used to it for a moment.

“Thank you,” Hansen put away the phone and took the folder from Jenna. He turned around and was about to leave. The moment he left, he turned around and glanced at Jenna. He asked in surprise, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, no.” Jenna was stunned and shook her head in a hurry. Then she raised her head and smiled. She stretched out her hand and waved, “Bye.”

Hansen’s dark eyes looked deeply at her before he turned around and left.
