Wendy changed her bathrobe in front of Jordan. Ignoring the surprise in his face, she took her handbag, slammed the door and left.
Damn it. Since Jordan didn't know how to explain it, why did he even take her to the hotel? He just wasted her time.
"That woman didn't satisfy him, so now he prefers me?", Wendy wondered.
She was furious. Ever since they got married, she had always been trying to be gentle and virtuous.
No matter why they got married at the very beginning, she was always considerate and affectionate. They had to get along well with each other as a couple. Wendy thought she had done what she was supposed to do. She had been a very loving wife.
But what Jordan did was beyond disappointing. He didn't even bother to provide an explanation. To say the least, even if nothing happened between them, why didn't he reassure her?
Wendy angrily rushed out of the hotel and took a taxi to her mother's house.
She wouldn't return to the Li Mansion anymore. Not with what had just happened. Jordan must be the one to explain that to his parents.
At the thought of this, Wendy hesitated. After all, her parents-in-law had always been very nice to her. They had given her everything she could have asked for. As a daughter-in-law, she'd better tell them her decision by herself.
She took out her phone from her handbag and called Angie.
At that moment, Angie was busy training new recruits. She answered the call while taking a rest.
"Hello, Wendy." Angie said gently. She really treated Wendy as her daughter. Hearing her gentle voice, Wendy felt a bit guilty. She also felt very sad. Angie was her second mother.
But she soon calmed herself down. "Mother, I won't go back there until sometime. I'll live with my mother for a few days."
Wendy's voice was as gentle as usual, but Angie still knew something was wrong. "What happened? Wendy? Tell me. Please."
She asked in an anxious tone.
Wendy tried so hard to hold back her tears. "It's okay. I just want to stay with my mother for a few days. I just miss her, I guess."
Angie decided that there must be something wrong. She was not convinced by her explanation. Wendy's trembling voice suggested that there was definitely something going on. Where was Jordan?
"Wendy, tell me what happened. I'll try my best to help you."
Wendy bit her lower lip, hesitating. She decided not to tell Angie. It was really humiliating.
"Mother, it's okay. Don't worry. I just want to tell you this. I'll get off now. Bye and always take care."
She hurriedly hung up, her tears rolling down her cheeks.
Angie was very nice to her. She didn't want to trouble Angie anymore. She wished that she was not mad at her. However, she just can't see Jordan now. She was still hurting. Forget it. Wait until he could prove his innocence and give her a reasonable explanation.
Angie immediately called Jordan. He answered it after the phone rang a few times.
"Mother." In Angie's mind, Jordan was always dull and had always lacked of emotions.
Angie rolled her eyes. "Jordan, what happened to Wendy? Why is she suddenly like that? She sounded so strange." She asked in a very serious tone. Jordan had got used to it, or else he would be scared.
As she questioned Jordan, Jordan guessed Wendy had already told her what happened. However, Jordan thought it was good, because it could mean that Wendy had also asked Angie to help solve the issue.
"What did she say?" While speaking to Angie, Jordan was smoothly driving to the station of the troops.
What he said further irritated Angie. "That's why I'm calling you right now. If I knew what happened, I wouldn't have called you." She shouted in a very serious tone.
Jordan's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Wendy will say nothing about it. "It's okay. Don't worry." He replied in a very low tone.
