Chapter 288: Another Paternity Test!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lauren and Jordan looked at each other awkwardly.

They were people of principle who wouldn’t engage in ambiguous relationships with strangers.

However, in the end, both of them eventually lay down on the ground with Chloe in the middle.

They decided to put the little girl to sleep first.

Jordan would then go back to his room to rest.

After 45 minutes, the room was pitch dark because the lights had already been switched off a long time ago.

On the other hand, Chloe had already entered a deep slumber. At the same time, Jordan and Lauren pretended to sleep to accompany Chloe.

“Miss Howard, Miss Howard.”

Seeing that Chloe was already asleep, Jordan called out softly to Lauren.

However, after calling a few times, he realized that Lauren did not respond.

‘Has she also fallen asleep?’

Jordan felt somewhat puzzled, too, so he switched on his cell phone’s flashlight and shone it at them.

Lauren was sleeping on her side, facing Jordan and Chloe. Under the phone’s bright light, Lauren’s stunning side profile could be seen clearly.

“Her side profile resembles Hailey’s so much…”

He didn’t know if it was because pretty women tend to resemble each other. Still, Jordan felt some resemblance between Hailey and Lauren.

“Miss Howard…”

Jordan reached out his hand and touched Lauren’s exposed arm. Since she was wearing her pajamas, Jordan did not touch her skin.

However

That made Jordan puzzled because he could already tell that Lauren wasn’t asleep at all.

‘She’s obviously not asleep, so why won’t she respond when I call her name?’

Jordan carefully observed Lauren’s expression and discovered that she was breathing heavily in nervousness when he touched her.

All of a sudden, Jordan remembered the last time the two of them met at Café Nostalgia in New York.

At that time, in order to test if there were bodyguards outside to watch Lauren, Jordan deliberately pretended to flirt with her and kiss her.

That was precisely how Lauren behaved!

She was breathing rapidly with great nervousness! However, she didn’t shout loudly or turn him down!

She seemed to be giving Jordan silent consent to kiss her!

‘Oh my gosh!’

Jordan seemed to have understood why Lauren was pretending to be asleep.

He reckoned that she probably thought Jordan was just testing if she was asleep by calling her name.

‘She probably thinks that I’d secretly take advantage of her and kiss her or something if she wasn’t asleep.’

In fact, many men liked doing so in this world.

However, Jordan didn’t think so. He was calling her out for something serious!

Jordan said right away, “Miss Howard, I know you are not asleep. Can you come out for a moment if you’re still awake? I have something to say to you.”

Hearing Jordan’s words, Lauren finally opened her eyes and said while blushing awkwardly, “Okay.”

It was wintertime, so it was cold outside. The two put on their thick down coats and came outside the courtyard.

They discovered that the yard was already covered with a thin layer of white snow as soon as they did.

“It’s snowing.”

Jordan and Lauren were both elated. They seemed to like the snow very much.
