My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 393

"Huh?"

Salvatore looked at Lauren in disbelief. Truth be told, he didn't look too favorably upon Lauren, a typical heiress of DC. If anything, Salvatore preferred Victoria or Emily.

"In that case, Miss Victoria..."

Jordan said, "Victoria left without saying goodbye. All she sent me was a text message. It's impossible between her and me."

Having been locked up in Houston, Salvatore was not aware of Victoria's disappearance. He asked with a look of confusion, "Miss Victoria left? No way!"

He knew how much Victoria and Jordan loved each other so he felt that it was impossible that Victoria had left without saying goodbye and he was certain that she must have gone missing!

Jordan thought that it was inappropriate to tell Salvatore the truth in Lauren's presence so he said, "Anyway, don't ever talk about Victoria Clarke again."

"Oh, okay..."

Subsequently, Jordan drove Lauren, first to her house, and then to the hotel where Jordan was staying, and the two went back to get their IDs. After that, they drove to the City Clerk Office, ready to register their marriage. These days, divorce rates were higher than marriage rates so they didn't have to queue up to get a ticket to register their marriage.

When they arrived at the entrance of the City Clerk Office, Jordan unbuckled his seat belt and said to Lauren, "Let's go."

However, Lauren remained indifferent in the car.

Lauren looked at Jordan and asked softly, "Jordan, do you really want to marry me? I know you are still in love with Victoria... If you have to marry me because of Grandpa, I can plead with him so that he doesn't force you."

Although Lauren wanted to marry Jordan very much, she was not a selfish woman and she knew very well deep down that Jordan still loved Victoria.

Jordan gently stroked Lauren's soft hair and said, "I'm marrying you not because your grandfather forced me to. No one can force me to marry anyone. The reason I want to marry you is that I really like you and want to be with you.

"As for Victoria... I just want her to be healthy and safe. I admit that I haven't forgotten her, but she and I are not meant to be. Even if my father did not kill her father, the Steeles caused her to be separated from her father in the last ten years or so. That's what determined that Victoria and I are not meant to be."

Lauren was aware of what happened with Victoria's father and she also knew that it was an obstacle that would hinder Jordan and Victoria from being in a relationship.

With these reassurances, Lauren didn't say anything else and simply got out of the car with Jordan. Soon, the two of them came out with a marriage certificate.

Jordan was married again!

The last time he registered his marriage was with Hailey and he thought that the next time he got married again, it would be to Victoria. However, it turned out to be Lauren, which he didn't expect at all.

Soon, it was late at night. Jordan returned home with Lauren and accompanied Chloe after dinner until 11 pm when they tucked her in bed.

At this moment, the maid, Felicia, went to Lauren's room and took Chloe, who was already asleep, away, leaving only Jordan and Lauren alone.

As it was getting late, Jordan also got up and said, "Since Chloe is asleep, I should go too."

However, Lauren suddenly stretched out her fair and slender hand, hooked Jordan's finger and whispered, "How about you stay here tonight? Jordan, we have already registered our marriage so we're legally married and we can... live together."

Jordan looked at the reddened face of Lauren, the ravishing beauty. He knew that as long as he agreed, he could immediately have this woman whom many men were head-over-heels infatuated with.

However, he still loved Victoria and even though he was legally married to Lauren, he couldn't sleep with her!
