Chapter 11: No One Else in His Heart
569 Words
Through the car window, Mrs. Miller reluctantly said goodbye to them with the servants supporting her. She repeatedly reminded Hans, "Don't ever bully Jennifer or you will have to answer to me!"
Hans was looking dashing at the driver's seat with his slender arms holding the steering wheel. "Alright, grandma. If there's nothing else, we'll leave now."
"Okay, you guys can leave!" Mrs. Miller waved her hand.
Jennifer sighed and said softly, "Goodbye, grandma."
"My dear, don't forget to send me a message after you get home!" Mrs. Miller reminded her worriedly.
Jennifer made a sound as if she wanted to say something, but Hans already started the car.
Under his uninhibited look, there was a trace of impatience. The car sped away and disappeared into the dark twilight.
Mrs. Miller stood there and gazed as the car left.
Aunt Mary glanced at her, stepped forward, and asked softly, "Mrs. Miller, do you think Jennifer will truly be happy with Hans?"
Mrs. Miller sighed. "I've watched Hans grow up. I know what he is thinking. I'm afraid that in this life, there is no one else in his heart except Jennifer."
"Then why..." Aunt Mary was lost. "Why is he so..."
So mean?
Aunt Mary managed to stop herself from completing her sentence. After all, she was just a servant, she shouldn't ask too much.
"This question... I've been thinking about it for a long time... Hans used to get along so well with her."
Otherwise, she wouldn't be trying to fix them up.
Besides that, the other reason was that she really wanted to have a great-grandson soon.
Mrs. Miller was deep in her thoughts. She turned to ask Aunt Mary, "Hans and Jennifer... when did they become like this?"
Aunt Mary thought for a moment. "It seems that... since... Mr. and Mrs. Miller passed away in the car accident?"
Hans's father, Thomas Miller, had two wives in his whole life.
The first one was Hans's mother.
The second one was Jennifer's mother.
The Mrs. Miller Aunt Mary was referring to was the latter.
...
Inside the car, the two of them were silent.
Jennifer looked out of the window at the scenery while Hans focused on driving. He lighted a cigarette with one hand, the expression on his face was unpredictable.
The car was dead silent.
"Ding—" Suddenly, Jennifer got a notification on her phone.
She opened it, it was a message from Rose.
"Jennifer, don't forget about Jackson Davis's concert! I'll be waiting for you at the south gate of the Youth Square."
After turning her screen off, Jennifer quickly glanced at Hans, and there was nothing unusual with his facial expression.
She turned her head and said, "Ummm... I have plans with Rose tonight so I won't go home first. Just drop me off at the south gate of the Youth Square. I'll take a taxi back tonight."
Hans exhaled a ring of smoke, and he sneered at her. "I heard there are many motels next to the Youth Square. Are you having an affair behind my back?"
"..." Jennifer widened her eyes in disbelief, she did not expect Hans would say that.
She was speechless, but at the same time, she was hurt.
Then again, why would Hans care if she was having an affair?
Could he be jealous?
For the first time, she dared to make such a bold guess.
