Chapter 781 After boarding the plane, Jenna sat by the window and gazed at the fluffy white clouds and clear blue sky 30, 000 feet above.
But her mood was particularly heavy.
All the memories of when she used to live with Aldo came flooding back to her.
It seemed to be constantly floating in front of her eyes like a revolving lantern.
She sighed.
She still feel very upset.
"Aldo brought this upon himself. You don't have to feel too bad,” Brayden held her hand and comforted her softly.
He knew that she was a kind-hearted girl.
Jenna lowered her head and said, "Aldo has always been a close person in my heart, just like a father to me. | never expected that... it would end up like this. He must have been on the run for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't look so haggard and unkempt." "He could have taken a direct flight on Larro, but since he chose to detour and fly from Urgford, it's likely that he's been on the run.” The flight attendant happened to come by with drinks, and Brayden took a glass of juice and placed it in front of her, saying "Have some water." Jenna nodded and held the cup with both hands, taking a sip. The sour-sweet taste instantly filled her mouth.

Then she heard his low and seductive voice asking, "Jenna, is it true that you want to marry me?" Jenna's face immediately turned red, with a delicate and charming expression. Her big eyes were shimmering with water, showing a hint of shyness.
"I... I just wanted to make Aldo angry at the time, to break his heart..." "But | believed it for real.” Brayden suddenly reached out and grabbed her slender waist, declaring dominantly, "From now on, you are mine!" Jenna was a bit confused.
"| like you, Jenna." Brayden looked deeply into the girl's eyes with affection. "You are the first girl who has seen me naked, so you must take responsibility for me." Upon hearing his blunt words, Jenna's face turned red instantly. She couldn't help but recall the awkward and comical incident that happened between her and Brayden when she first arrived at the Wright residence.
The man seemed to be taking a shower at that time! "I... I..." Jenna didn't know what to say.
She was getting anxious.
"Just say yes." Suddenly Sylvia's voice came from the front. She and Franklin had been listening.
"Sylvia..." Jenna's face turned even redder, as if it were about to explode.
Oh my, why is this so embarrassing! Does the whole world know now? Franklin couldn't help but chuckle. "Congratulations to you both." Brayden had a satisfied smile on his face. "After the Graley Piano Competition is over, I'll talk to my parents about getting married.” "Married?" Jenna's mouth hung open in shock as she stared at Brayden. "So soon?" She hadn't even been in a relationship yet and she was already going to get married? "Isn't that what you told Aldo? That we're getting married soon?" Brayden looked at her cute expression and couldn't resist kissing her on the cheek. "Since you want to marry me so badly, | have to take advantage of the opportunity and do it quickly." Getting married before falling in love wasn't too bad either.
Did she just sell herself like that? Jenna was dumbfounded.
Inside a classroom of Maternal and Child Protection Association.
A pregnant woman was teaching a group of girls around twenty years old about financial knowledge when suddenly she clutched her stomach. "Ouch... it hurts!" The girl sitting at the back who was slightly older walked up to her immediately."Miss Daniels, are you okay?" Sierra Daniels frowned with pain; she felt hot fluid flowing out between her legs and her face visibly paled."l... I'm giving birth..." Her water broke; this was her first time giving birth but being anxious wouldn't help matters much either.
The young girls in front of her were still very young; Sierra didn't want them scared, "Call... call Miss Deleon and Miss Anto for me quickly..." Several girls rushed out while shouting, "Miss Daniels is giving birth! Miss Daniels is giving birth!" Isabelle followed Evie for martial arts class when they heard commotion outside; their faces stiffened immediately. "Winter's having a baby?" Evie froze, "Isabelle, you've given birth before so you have experience! Let's hurry!" Isabelle nodded vigorously, then ran towards the finance classroom with all haste.
Soon enough news spread throughout the entire association that Sierra would be having a baby soon.
It was too late to go to the hospital, but luckily there was a medical room in the association with several doctors and nurses who were Sylvia's disciples. Delivering babies was no problem at all.
At 7 PM, Sylvia, Franklin and her team finally got off the plane and stepped out of Vienna Airport.
The organizers of the Graley Piano Competition had prepared their hotel rooms, and each participating team had their own room. The organizer's car had been waiting for them at the airport for pick-up.
After getting into the car, Sylvia opened her phone and received several messages as well as missed calls from Middle Evroya.
She raised an eyebrow, calculated the time, and realized it must be Winter's due date.
She immediately called Evie back. "Did she give birth?" "Wow, Sylvia! You're amazing! Sierra gave birth to a big chubby boy," Evie said casually. She had gotten used to calling Winter by her new name Sierra.
Winter's past life had long been erased since she changed her name after joining Athena Society where she taught finance knowledge to girls in need.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That's great news! Are they both safe?" Although Sylvia trusted Evie's abilities, she still asked out of concern.
"They are both fine! The baby is so cute that he looks like he will have a peaceful life ahead," Evie said excitedly before adding that Winter wanted to help picking out a name for him.
Sylvia lowered her head while looking outside at the bustling yet lonely streets in this foreign land lit up by streetlights just turning on. "Why not call him Alex Daniels?" Sylvia spoke softly inside of their vehicle, "If Sierra likes it, then use it; if not then change it." "She definitely won't mind," assured Evie before asking Sierra lying on bed beside them. "Alex Daniels, do you like this name?" Sierra just gave birth so she looked pale with weakness in voice when answering, "It sounds beautiful; | really like it." She looked down at her sleeping child again before continuing, "He will have a peaceful life ahead." Evie relayed this message back to Sylvia saying that Winter loved it very much too right after which their car stopped suddenly, causing Sylvia to say goodbye quickly over the phone call Franklin led her out of the car and asked as they walked, "Winter?" "Mm." Sylvia nodded. "She had a son, and Clark ran off to a certain place that we don't know. | hope they never see each other again." "Clark is a cruel man. If he's on the run, he'll do everything in his power to find Winter. You were smart to give her a new name." They stepped into the hotel lobby as Jasper went to get their room key.
Brayden and Jenna were whispering together.
"To prevent any future problems,” Sylvia raised an eyebrow before Jasper returned with their key card, and they all stepped into the elevator together.
Vienna's Paradise Hotel was one of the most famous seven-star hotels in town, usually only accommodating wealthy guests.
The organizers of Graley Piano Competition arranged for all participating teams to stay at this hotel.
H Rovirsa's team was assigned to the 16th floor along with Mrs. Ritter and Ashlyn.
As Franklin and Sylvia searched for their room while carrying luggage from inside an elevator that just arrived on their floor, Mrs.
Ritter turned livid at seeing them again - talk about bad luck! Behind her stood several members of piano associations who also came for this competition.
One recognized Jenna whom she knew quite well so she greeted her, "Miss Shepherd, have you finished your composition? Can you participate in this competition?" Jenna replied hesitantly, "I'm not sure if it's good enough but | hope it is." As soon as she spoke those words out loud, there were some mocking laughs heard around them. "If it works, then it works; if not, then too bad!" "Yeah right! Composing music isn't easy!" Jenna bit her lip without saying anything else.
Brayden's face changed color. "Of course composing isn't easy which is why my wife wrote the best piece in the world." "Master Brayden... you don't have to defend your wife like that, do you? Wait... isn't she your sister?" "No wonder you are act so violent towards Miss Ritter last time; turns out you two siblings already had an affair!" Their words became increasingly harsher by each passing moment.
Mrs. Ritter felt extremely satisfied watching these people humiliate Jenna after feeling frustrated for days now - finally getting some relief! "We have no blood relation, so there's nothing wrong with being together," Brayden said lazily, tired of arguing. But these people were just too much.
"And besides, whether my wife's piece is good or not is not up to you. It's up to the judges. | suggest you all focus on your own competition instead of criticizing others." "Well then, I'll wait and see how the judges evaluate your piece!" Mrs. Ritter said coldly before leaving with her group.
