"Is it okay?" Cayden repeated.
Lauren had given complete authority to Felicia to deal with Cayden. Although Felicia hated Cayden, she couldn't just patronize him. Since Cayden said it was okay for her to stay silent and let him hear her breathe, Felicia finally replied, "Okay."
Seeing the reply, Cayden was overjoyed and immediately called her.
There was nothing but silence.
From the second the call was connected, the two parties had been extremely quiet. Cayden asked softly, "Lauren, is Jordan sleeping next to you?"
Felicia assented.
Cayden was overjoyed and proud. "Hahaha, Jordan Steele, how is it? I'm still better than you, aren't I!?! Your wife waited for you to fall asleep and secretly called me, just like when Hailey Camden came to the hospital for a rendezvous with me!
"So what if you broke my finger and caused me to become infertile’?! You'll never be as good as me when it comes to toying with women! I've taken every wife you've ever had away from you. Hahahaha!"
Cayden was overjoyed because he thought that Lauren was answering the call beside Jordan.
If that was the case, Lauren being willing to answer the phone so late at night meant that she had a good feeling about Cayden!
Cayden continued, "Lauren, you are so gorgeous. You're one of the most beautiful women I've ever met in my life. To be honest, I've never had an inferiority complex all my life but when I met you, I suddenly feel that my self-esteem has dropped somewhat..."
However, faced with Cayden's confession, Felicia didn't respond, for fear that she would let the cat out of the bag.
Cayden said softly, "Lauren, I know you still like Jordan now but he's a really arrogant person and he has gone blind now. How can he bear to implicate you? Ah, Jordan has already said that he would divorce you and hand you over to me.
"How can Cayden Huxley be worthy of you? I don't even dare to fantasize about cuddling with you in my dreams because I don't think I'm worthy at all! However, Jordan is my close friend who's in the same boat as me. Since he already gave me those instructions, how can I let him down!?! Lauren, if you give me a chance, I promise to only love you in this lifetime. I will make you the happiest woman in the world!"
All the while, Cayden kept confessing to her but she didn't respond. However, although Lauren did not say yes, she didn't say that she wasn't willing either.
So Cayden took her silence as consent!
Cayden was elated. "Lauren, I know Jordan is right next to you now so you're too shy to talk about this. Besides, you're not divorced yet. But I'm already grateful enough for the fact that you're willing to quietly listen to my confession and not reject me! We'll get to see each other tomorrow. It's getting late, go get some rest."
At this moment, Felicia assented again.
Hearing Felicia's voice, Cayden mistook it for Lauren's. He covered his phone and closed his eyes to reminisce. "What a gentle voice... Lauren must have conceded with silence! I've long heard that Lauren is a fussy and ill-tempered woman who behaves like a princess. If she doesn't like a man, she will turn him down directly without mercy even if he has a noble status. Yet, she didn't reject my confession just now! Hahahaha Lauren Howard will soon become my woman!" • • •
Late at night, Cayden brought two people over to Lauren's home.
Jordan, Lauren and Tim were all sitting in the house and had been waiting for a long time.
Cayden entered with Tyler and a young woman.
"Jordan Steele! Lauren..."
Cayden greeted Jordan and Lauren excitedly, completely unaware that today would be the day of his death!
