When Jesse went to the US to attend Jordan's wedding, he had investigated Lauren and said that she was a bad woman who had an affair with another man.
That incident alone almost caused Jordan and Lauren to split up! After experiencing Hailey's betrayal, Jordan was very sensitive to such things!
Jordan smiled. "Don't worry Jesse. You did what you did for my own good."
Jordan knew that like him, Jesse had been deceived by Jamie.
Raising his glass, Jesse clinked glasses with Jordan. He pointed at Lauren, who was singing, and commented to Jordan.
"Lauren is a good girl. She's beautiful and her singing is lovely. On top of that, she loves you so wholeheartedly, you have to cherish her, understand?"
Jordan nodded. "I will."
Lauren sang two songs in a row. However, she soon felt a little ill and like she was about to vomit. Jordan brought her to the washroom and carried her back to their room to rest.
In the dining hall, Charleston also took his leave. Jesse and Yumi also returned to their rooms for the night. Jordan's aunt stood up, but before she left, Stefan took the initiative to chase after her. His face was slightly flushed and he looked as nervous as a little boy.
"Ms. Steele..."
"Mr. Howard, what's the matter?"
"Ms. Steele, it's been more than 20 years since we last met, but you're still so beautiful. Can I... talk to you in private?"
Meanwhile, in Charleston's room.
Jordan went to his grandfather's room after Lauren fell asleep.
"Grandpa..."
As if he had expected Jordan to look for him, Charleston had not gone to bed yet.
"Grandpa, what do you think of Lauren?"
Charleston was beaming. "She's a very good girl. However, I know that the woman you love the most isn't her. It's Victoria, right?"
Jordan sighed. "Yes, Grandpa. I want to complete the family's training mission as soon as possible and figure out why our family wanted to capture Victoria's father then. I want to see Victoria as soon as possible. I can't live without her. I married Lauren to find out about Victoria's whereabouts!"
He admitted that he had since fallen in love with Lauren, but the person who left the deepest impression on him was still Victoria!
After all, Victoria was the one who stood by him during his most difficult days!
"Grandpa, I've completed my business trial now. Are there any other missions?"
Charleston said in response, "Jordan, you just came
home. I'll tell you about the mission in a few days. Spend these few days showing Lauren around, and also spend some time with your mother. I am afraid that you would leave tomorrow if I give you the mission now."
Jordan nodded. "Alright, Grandpa, rest early. I'll go back to my room now."
The next morning, Lauren woke up in a daze.
Jordan had woken up long ago. He looked at Lauren with a smile and said, "Diva, you're finally awake?"
Lauren rubbed her eyes in confusion. "Huh? Who's the diva?"
Jordan replied, "You, of course. I didn't know you could sing so well."
Lauren was shocked. "Did I sing last night?"
And had clearly drunk too much and had no idea what happened last night.
