Jordan looked at Marissa and Chris's mother before saying, "I'm Chloe's father. Shouldn't you be informing me before taking Chloe away?"
Chris's mother sneered and asked, "Why do I have to inform you? Who do you think you are?"
Chris's mother obviously despised Jordan because she knew he had no foundation and connections in DC.
Marissa also said, "Chloe has always been by her mother's side. Chloe has to go wherever Lauren goes. Why must I inform you!?"
Jordan was extremely displeased, and he requested, "I don't care what stupid rules the Hanks have. No matter what, I want to see my daughter every day."
Chris's mother refuted vehemently, "Impossible! The Hanks will never allow someone like you to enter as you please!"
"Forget about seeing Chloe for the next three days. You can request it again after we get married!"
Chris's mother was very insistent and harsh, so Lauren couldn't retort either. She said to Jesse, "Jesse, just bear with it for two days, okay?"
Jordan glanced at Chris's mother in displeasure before nodding at Lauren. "Okay, I'll send you there then."
Lauren and Chloe were about to move into Chris's parents' home, but Jordan still didn't know where they lived. He decided he had to find out their exact address.
Jordan drove Lauren's Jeep and fetched her and Chloe to a villa cluster named Royal Mansions.
Not only was this place strategically located and expensive, but the interior of the villas was also top-notch.
The palm trees, and artificial boulders accentuated its uniqueness. It definitely cost a bomb to bring the palm trees and plantains that would usually survive only in the tropics to DC.
Arriving at a grand and posh bungalow, Jordan pulled over, knowing that it was Chris's parents' home because he had already seen Chris standing at the door.
Chris walked over and helped Lauren carry her luggage.
Jordan got out of the car, too.
Chris glanced at Jordan and said, "I didn't expect you to come too. I don't intend to let you stay for dinner."
Jordan looked at the villa and recognized the location carefully. "I don't intend to go inside either."
Jordan handed the car keys back to Lauren and said, "I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything."
He then waved goodbye to Chloe and said, "Baby, remember to call me when you miss me."
"Okay, bye bye, Daddy."
Chloe was carrying a little backpack, looking extremely adorable.
Jordan looked at Chloe's lovely face and couldn't help but pinch her little face again.
'How adorable. Unfortunately, I won't be able to see her for the next two days. If Chloe gets mistreated here, I won't spare the Hanks!'
"Okay, quickly head inside. It's time to eat!"
Chris's mother said loudly, looking at Chloe scornfully.
Lauren waved her hand at Jordan before taking Chloe's hand and bringing her inside.
After entering the living room and walking to the dining hall, Chloe saw the spread of food on the dining table. The little glutton then scurried over and reached her hand out for a bread roll.
However, Chloe was just about to do so. Chris's mother slapped her hand.
"Have you washed your hands? You're grabbing it with them just like that! Why don't you have any manners at all!?"
Chris's mother lashed out at Chloe and began to lecture her.
This time, the blow was so hard that Chloe immediately started sobbing with tears in her eyes.
Lauren hurried over and hugged Chloe. "Chloe, don't cry. Let's go get your hands washed. You can eat only after your hands are washed. Have you forgotten?"
