Chapter 718: Chapter 697: Is being a wife slave a glorious thing?

"Jaysen is already helping, and my task now is to take care of you!"

He had ignored her for nearly ten years for Ivy Aretha’s sake, and now she was lying in a hospital bed, so how could he abandon her again? Ivy had Michael Gordon, and he, he was just her... "Lina..."

Thinking of how he once neglected her, while she was still so considerate for his sake, Mario Jensen felt that he was really not a good person.

Mario Jensen’s big hand tightly wrapped around her cold little hand, his gaze deep and hot as he looked at her, his words choked back several times at the tip of his throat.

"Just say what you want to say, I’m not that petty!"

Mario Jensen had said so much, and even hesitated to say more, and she could guess what he was thinking without asking. He was worried about her thoughts when he went to help save Ivy, leaving her alone in the hospital bed. "Michael needs help now. Whatever happens to Ivy, it’s because she was with me at the hospital. If she had stayed safely at home, nothing would have happened. So, I’m the one who should feel guilty, so helping Michael is the right thing to do. You don’t need to care too much about what I think!"

Being his beloved woman today was enough for her, so why would she drag him down!

"Lina, can you not be so sensible and selfless!"

Hearing this, Mario Jensen was somewhat amused. Should she cry? Or should she cry? "Alright, let’s not worry about Ivy now. Your task now is to take good care of your body. If Ivy sees your sickly body when she comes back, she will feel guilty, you know? You have blood donated by little Bianca in your body. Do you know what the little girl said?"

"What did she say?"

Lina didn’t expect that Bella Gordon had actually donated blood to her. How could a child donate blood? However, from what Mario Jensen said, the little girl must have said something earth-shattering.

"She said that she must save you. If something happened to you, her mommy would not be at ease for the rest of her life and would not be happy. She wants her mommy to be happy, so she must save you. She also asked Alette to give her a chance to save you. You see, even this little girl can think of this, why can’t you? So your current main role is to recover well, not to urge me to help!"

"Besides, if I leave you and go help find Ivy, Michael, the jealous man, will surely be unhappy, thinking I still have ideas about her. After all, I used to be so absurdly obsessed. Although I was unclear about what I really wanted in my heart, in Michael’s mind, it’s already a fact. So, I can’t go!"

Uh?

When Lina heard this, she froze. This had always been the issue the two had deliberately avoided and never touched. He never brought it up, and Lina didn’t dare to either. After all, he had never been rude to her, and she had fallen in love with him knowingly. So, naturally, she wouldn’t mention such a thing. Now, Mario Jensen’s frank admission of his past came as a surprise to her.

You see, only by completely letting go can one talk about such a thing without qualms.

Hearing him say this so casually, Lina felt warm inside, especially in her current state!

"Are you still afraid of Michael being jealous?"

When Lina said this, the smile in her eyes almost overflowed. She knew very well that this was not what he meant, but she deliberately changed his words into this meaning. "But, you don’t seem to be his match, you know. Ivy doesn’t think much of you!"

Ivy Aretha had no romantic feelings for Mario Jensen; otherwise, Michael’s forced marriage would not have been successful.

Mario Jensen: "..."

It was well known that Ivy didn’t think highly of him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have become Mrs. Gordon!

"Lina, can’t you give me some face?" Mario Jensen reached out to rub her cheek and said with a light smile, "But being a man that someone else doesn’t like, Lina, why did you like me anyway?"

Lina: "..."

And he said she didn’t give him face ? She wasn’t leaving any face for herself now.

"How can I compare with Ivy? She’s a princess, and I’m just a weed, so I can only love the man she doesn’t love!"

Mario Jensen: "..."

"Wife, am I really that bad in your eyes?"

This was the first time since he’s known Lina that she dared to tease him so directly and unreservedly. The feeling was quite good. Yet, someone was still acting wronged. "I’m so bad that you want to dump me?"

"Brother-in-law, who said I was going to dump you?"

The two were still talking when the door to the ward was pushed open, and Ariana Hunt entered with a thermos box, "Sister is awake, I made a nutritious soup. The taste is not bad, brother-in-law, you feed it to her!"

Ariana Hunt’s words left Lina staring, looking at Lina and Mario Jensen, her mind a mess. She admitted that she and Ariana were somewhat similar, but how did Ariana suddenly start calling her sister and Mario Jensen brother-in-law after a night’s sleep? Had the world become so surreal?

Did she recognize her as her sister?

She thought about it carefully, and she really hadn’t recognized her. But she felt an inexplicable closeness to the young girl.

"Uh... Mario, when did you get an extra little sister?" Lina looked at Ariana Hunt and then at Mario Jensen, finally asking Mario, "Are you secretly in love with her but can’t marry her, so you settled for making her your little sister?"

Mario Jensen: "..."

"Wife, please don’t accuse me of such things. I’m devoted to you, so don’t falsely accuse me!"

Mario Jensen cried out in response to her words, "Wife..."

"Pfft!"

Originally feeling somewhat awkward because her intentions had been exposed, Ariana Hunt burst into laughter after hearing Mario Jensen’s words, and her awkwardness vanished. "Brother-in-law, you’re so henpecked, I never knew that the high and mighty CEO Jensen is henpecked too!"

"What am I to you? Being controlled by a wife is a kind of happiness. I’m nothing compared to CEO Gordon! He’s all-powerful outside but kneels on a washboard at home when Mrs. Gordon says so!"

CEO Jensen felt that with the first-class henpecked CEO Gordon, being henpecked was a glorious thing!

Ariana Hunt: "..."

It turned out her sister was even happier than she had imagined. How wonderful!
