My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 406

It was dead silent in the pitch dark room.

Jordan said gently, "Lauren, you... you're still awake?"

Lauren turned sideways to face Jordan.

"Honey, you know what? I've waited three whole years for this day. Often I've fantasized about being your wife. Perhaps even every day. My dream was to marry you. I don't dare to beg you to love me as much as you love Victoria and I don't ask for much either. I just want to be like an ordinary woman who leads a normal life and has a loving husband.

"Honey, please don't neglect me, okay?"

Lauren wasn't a fool and she could obviously tell that Jordan had been deliberately neglecting her for the last two hours.

Jordan was put in a difficult spot. "Lauren..."

Lauren said pitifully, "Honey, I've never experienced the joy of being a woman in my life. I'm already 26 years old, I don't want to wait until I'm 30..."

Jordan was both shocked and sympathetic towards Lauren. He was shocked that Lauren's only sexual encounter was when he slept with her in Syria four years ago.

Besides, that wasn't a pleasant memory for Lauren but an agonizing one.

Since then... To think that she hadn't slept with a single man before. It came as a surprise to Jordan.

It was indeed quite pitiful for a woman who was almost 30 years old. After all, beautiful women like Lauren usually had lots of suitors.

Jordan sighed in self-reproach, knowing that he was the cause of Lauren's current plight. Since he had married Lauren, the only thing he could do now was to make her happy. He had to do so even if it was only for a short period of time.

Jordan gently caressed Lauren's hair in the dark and let his lips roam down as he kissed her...

At this moment, it suddenly began pouring amidst thunderclaps.

On the other hand, Brad went to Martin's home and they began chatting with each other in the night. Brad was surprised by Jesse's aura and frightened by the look in his eyes.

Hence, when he arrived at Martin's place, Brad gave him a suggestion.

"Grandpa, haven't you always wanted to know the secrets of the Steeles? Jesse is already in his thirties, he definitely already knows what they are! We can't lose this opportunity. He finally came to our turf so why don't we just nab him and force him to confess!?!"

Brad always felt that Jesse would seek revenge on him for making him a cuckold so he wanted to make the first move.

With a shake of his head, Martin only said, "What a naive child. Do you think that Jesse came alone?"

Brad said indignantly, "Hmph, even if he has connections in the country, he is no match for us!"

Martin sighed and said, "Son, do you know where he is now and who he's with?"

Brad shook his head.

Martin said, "The British royal family! He came here with the prince and princess! Are you out of your mind? How dare you think of harming Jesse Steele?"

Brad then pounded his chest and exclaimed, "Damn it, that Jesse really is something!"

Martin sat in his chair and said with a smile, "Now that Lauren and Jordan are married, we're considered the Steeles' in-laws and we can clearly use Lauren to get some news. Why do we have to fall out with them? Brad, from now on, you should also treat Jordan better. He's your brother-in-law now after all."

Brad looked at his injured leg and humphed angrily. "I'm not going to acknowledge him! I'm at loggerheads with him!"

Without saying another word, Martin only smiled.

By the time Lauren woke up in Jordan's arms again the next day, it was already past 10 am.

In fact, Jordan woke up very early and he merely didn't want to move his body because he didn't want to wake her up.

Lauren opened her eyes and smiled shyly with bliss when she saw Jordan.

As Jordan looked at Lauren who was sleeping, he said with a smile, "Lazy bum, are you finally awake? It's almost 11 am."
