It seemed that every woman he met after divorcing Hailey was very kind and understanding.
Lauren said gently, "It's getting late. Let's... go to bed earlier."
"Okay."
Jordan could tell that Lauren was shy and surprised. The first time he saw Lauren, he thought she was an aloof and cold goddess. He had never expected that she would become so clingy after marrying him.
Soon, the lights in Jordan's and Lauren's room were switched off. On the other hand, the lights in Brad and Hailey's room remained lit.
About 40 minutes later, the light in Jordan's and Lauren's room came back on. On the contrary, the lights in Brad and Hailey's room went out at this moment.
Jordan switched on the lights, walked out of the room, and walked towards the bathroom on the second floor of the villa to wash up.
Coincidentally, Hailey was holding her phone in her right hand and using the flashlight function of her phone as she walked to the bathroom.
The two of them happened to bump into each other.
At this moment, it was almost midnight. Jordan looked at Hailey, who was dressed in only a pink tank top and shorts.
He was extremely careful as if he had just done something terrible.
Jordan felt really unlucky because he didn't expect to have run into her at such a juncture. It just so happened that the two of them wanted to use the bathroom at this moment. As a man, he naturally wouldn't vie with her.
He said, "Go ahead, I'll go downstairs to take a bath."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Hailey and then got ready to leave.
"Hold it right there!"
Hailey suddenly called out to Jordan and asked, "Jordan, what's up with that look in your eyes?"
"What look?" Jordan asked.
Hailey humphed coldly and exclaimed, "You're clearly in disdain towards me! I was married to you for three years. Why wouldn't I be able to tell?"
Jordan didn't deny it. "That's right, I really dislike you and I look down on you! I just want to throw up at the thought of the fact that you used to be my wife and the woman I used to love the most!
"You've become more and more cheap and shameless. I used to treat you like the most noble and the purest woman in the world. Even though we've been married for three years, you wouldn't even let me get intimate with you but I didn't have any resentment towards you!
"On the contrary, that made me feel that you're very noble, unlike other women! But what about now? You sleep with just anyone! Now, I really feel that I was a fool in those three years!"
Hailey was infuriated to have been insulted and despised by Jordan, which made her feel terribly ashamed!
Smack!
Hailey slapped him and exclaimed, "You're not allowed to say that about me!"
'Hah, you have the guts to do it but you won't let others talk about it?'
Smack!
Jordan also slapped her back as he roared, "You have no right to hit me now! Even if you're really together with Brad now, I'm still your brother-in-law! Besides, he's just toying with you and he definitely won't marry you!"
The slap from Jordan hurt Hailey physically, as well as her self-esteem. She glowered at him and she said angrily, "Jordan Steele, you're a scumbag. So you're allowed to be with other women but you won't let me date another man, huh? Fine, I'll let you embarrass yourself in front of your parents-in-law!"
After saying that, Hailey suddenly shouted in the bathroom.
