Chapter 73 She Already Moved Out
“I’m looking for Javon’s home,” Hansen said to the guard, as the car pulled up at the community gate. He didn’t hesitate this time. Even if Sara was furious with him, he was still going to pay her a visit.
The guard was a lean old man, wearing a pair of reading glasses. He looked at him with a gleam in his eyes as his eyes slowly widened. If he was not mistaken, the man was Mr. Richards, one of the most renowned men in A city.
“Mr. Richards, nice to meet you!” He smiled at Hansen and greeted him politely. Hansen took out his wallet and handed him a few hundred dollar bills. He leaned his hand against the window and asked lightly, “What’s Javon’s house number?”
He had only been to the neighborhood once since he married Jenna. He had even forgotten the house number!
The old man happily put away the money and thanked him. When he heard Hansen’s question, his face suddenly changed. He opened his mouth and said awkwardly, “Mr. Richards, Minister Murphy’s family moved out of the area after the car accident, and I heard that his house has been transferred to his younger brother, James. I don’t think you will be able to find Javon’s family here.”
Moved out? It was beyond his expectation. Hansen’s heart was cold and he asked coldly, “When did this happen?”
“Not too long ago. Anyway, they have really moved out of here,” the old man thought for a while and said very seriously. He also had heard some rumors about James taking away Javon’s house and driving Jenna and her mother out of the house but he didn’t dare to say anything. He knew that Mr. Richards did not like Minister Murphy’s daughter. If he said anything else, he would be in trouble.
There were some things that they, who worked as security guards, could not say indiscriminately. If they wanted to keep their jobs, they had to be careful about their words. It would be best if they didn’t provoke influential figures like Mr. Richards.
Hansen’s eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze was sharp and cold, “Do you know where they moved to?”
The old man shook his head and repeatedly denied, “Well, Mr. Richards, you know that we are just security guards. This is someone’s private affair…”
Hansen started the car and drove away before he could finish his sentence. It was only a waste of his time talking to those people.
He didn’t expect that they would move away. Now, it would be difficult to find them!
The car turned on the street again, and the Hummer growled from time to time. He passed by the streets and alleys, and through the commercial areas. Of course, he found nothing.
He began to become more and more anxious, “Woman, where have you gone? How dare you run away without my permission? You’re dead once I find you!” He had completely forgotten that he was the one who drove her away!”
He hated it so much but there was nothing he could do. He had no clue as to where Jenna and her mother had moved to! That’s when he realized that he did not know much about her despite the fact that they had been married for a few years.
He stopped the car at the river bay. He had already been driving around it a few times, and there was no sign of her. At that time, he hoped that he would be able to find her there, just like when she was drunk last time. However, she wasn’t here and he was sure it was impossible to find her.
Suddenly, his mobile phone rang. He took out his phone in a hurry and saw that it was Marrisa.
“Hansen, how long has it been since you came back to see me? I thought we agreed that you would come back for dinner once a week,” Marissa was happy to finally hear Hansen’s voice, but she still couldn’t stop herself complaining.
Hansen was upset thus he coaxed her in a gentle voice, “Mom, I’ll come home to see you when I can, I’m busy right now.”
“You’re always busy. You’ve forgotten all about me. Let me tell you, Aria’s parents will be coming to the Richards Manor tomorrow. You must come back then,” although Marissa was complaining, she was still smiling happily and was kind.
“Mom, why are they visiting us?” Hansen frowned, and his voice sounded a little unhappy.
“To discuss your marriage of course, you silly child. What else would they be doing here? You are not young anymore. You need to quickly set a wedding date. I am still waiting for a grandchild. Now that your father is in that state, I am always anxious. Please listen to me and come back tomorrow,” Marissa said dotingly.
Hansen found his mother’s words jarring to the ear. There were only three days left until his grandmother’s birthday. However, they were so anxious to talk about the marriage. Did they want to upset his grandmother on purpose? Anyway, the man had to take the initiative when it came to the marriage proposal. After being married once, he was not anxious to get married so soon. It was better to be prudent in life.
Marissa hadn’t really laughed since his father’s accident, and he didn’t want to disobey her too much. He held his annoyance back and agreed with Marissa.
“Hansen, remember to dress up well tomorrow. You have to rely on Mayor McAdams to deal with the matter of Camphor Tree Villa,” Marissa instructed. However, Hansen’s face turned red and his eyes were full of anger. He hated it when they used the Camphor Tree Villa matter to threaten him.
Did he still have to rely on that kind of relationship for what he wanted to do? What a big joke! Not to mention that he had a plan to deal with it at present; even if he didn’t, he would not let his marriage have anything to do with the secular things. He was looking for a lifetime partner, not a marriage forcibly made for political interests. He despised the political and loveless coupling of the gentry for political gains.
The Camphor Tree Villa matter was not a problem for him. If he couldn’t even handle such a thing, how could he live in A City in the future?
He casually replied to his mother and turned off his mobile phone. Then he turned around and drove around the river again. There was still no sign of Jenna. He felt a little depressed. His mind seemed to be focused on this woman.
The next day, just as Hansen was walking out of the elevator, Minnie, who was dressed very seductively, greeted him with a smile, “Good morning, Mr. Richards.”
As she spoke, she reached for his briefcase and said in a flirtatious manner, “Mr. Richards, I’ve just made you a cup of your favorite tea.”
Minnie’s face was covered with heavy makeup, and she somewhat resembled Jenna’s face when it was full of flattering smiles. She grinned from ear to ear. However, Hansen could not find a trace of the elegance and grace that was unique to Jenna.
Hansen stared at her. They were cousins, but she gave him a different vibe from Jenna. He could see some resemblance to Jenna on her face, but that feeling made him disgusted. When Aria decided to replace his secretary, he didn’t even object. Maybe that was because he saw some resemblance of Jenna on her face.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
He actually cared about Jenna. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, he had to face his own feelings.
“Secretary Murphy, come to my office later,” Hansen’s gaze left her face and said calmly.
Hansen’s gaze had been fixed on her face for a long time, and there was a conspicuous look in his eyes for the first time. Her heart started racing in her chest, she was overjoyed. Of course, if she knew what Hansen was thinking, she would have been exasperated. What she heard was his gentle words, which were as sweet as honey.
What did it mean that Hansen would even ask for her? Could it be that he had a crush on her? If she could win his favor, it would be a dream come true for her.
She then reapplied her makeup to make sure she was well presented. Then she walked over slowly and knocked on the door. She asked softly, “Mr. Richards, may I come in?”
“Come in,” Hansen was sitting on the couch with a cup of tea, while he read the newspaper with his legs crossed.
The tea leaves in the cup were fragrant, even if she was standing far away from him, she could still smell the aroma of the tea as it entered her nostrils. She walked in gracefully, with a charming smile on her face. The dress fitted her perfectly and her flesh-colored undergarments underneath were quite revealing and so conspicuous that Hansen most probably would have seen it.
Hansen’s gaze fell on her breasts. He paused for a moment and squinted slightly, but then he suddenly recalled the day he held Jenna’s waist. Even though she was wearing a lacy white shirt underneath her suit and it was not revealing, it still caught his eyes. What a sight it would be if she could wear a dress like this like Minnie? Gradually, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Although he had only done it twice with Jenna, it made him feel like he had lost his soul. As long as he thought of her soft body, his heart would start racing and he couldn’t help himself.
He just looked at Minnie’s breasts and was left in a trance.
Minnie was delighted. Was Hansen really interested in her? Then her bad days were numbered! He had been staring unblinkingly at her breasts ever since she walked into the room. It seemed that men were all like that, greedy and lustful.
She smiled sweetly and deliberately took a couple of steps forward. Her breasts swayed, which was very seductive. If it weren’t for the fact that he was a man with self-control, he would have rushed up to her and knocked her down then.
Hansen took a sip of tea nonchalantly. When he saw Minnie, who was standing next to him, he smiled evilly. The tea was steaming hot as the steam drifted across his seemingly smiling face. He lightly tapped the teacup with his nails and slightly raised his head.
“Secretary Murphy, where do you live now?”
He asked indifferently. His face was as calm as ever, and no one could tell what was his intention.
Minnie was stunned. She couldn’t understand what he meant and felt a little nervous. Did he already know that her family had stolen Jenna’s property and now he wanted to get it back for her? No, his expression did not show that he was unhappy at all. It was far better than his expressionless face when he was wearing at work.
Moreover, she had not seen Jenna go to work for days. Rumor had it that she had been fired by Hansen.
She thought that he was just casually asking. After all, it was not a great way to start a conversation by asking whether she had had her breakfast or not. What’s more, the question was subtle with a lot of hidden meanings!
