The Abandoned Husband Dominates novel Chapter 397

“What nonsense is Lauren’s mother up to again?”

Jordan frowned, knowing that his new mother-in-law hated him because of Brad. However, he didn’t expect her to embarrass him at his wedding.

Marissa, who was also dressed to the nines today, said to the guests with a microphone in hand.

“Everyone, thank you for coming to attend the wedding of my daughter, Lauren, and son-in-law, Jordan. There may be some of you who don’t know that Lauren is marrying her live-in husband, Jordan Steele today!”

Salvatore and Tim were immediately displeased.

“Why must that old hag emphasize that Mr. Jordan is marrying Lauren as a live-in husband? Isn’t she obviously out to embarrass Mr. Jordan!?”

Despite the awkward situation, Jordan had a calm look on his face but he wasn’t bothered by the looks that the crowd was giving him. Only the poor would be concerned if others thought they were poor. The rich wouldn’t care what others thought of them.

Marissa continued, “Of course, this son-in-law of mine is very outstanding himself and he used to be the president of a listed company who has had his heyday.”

The guests began discussing among themselves and many of them did not know exactly what company Jordan was the president of before.

Marissa said, “Since he’s going to be my daughter’s live-in husband, the wedding is naturally going to be a little different from a normal wedding. As Lauren’s mother, I naturally have some requirements for my son-in-law.

“First, after you marry into our family, you’ll be responsible for cooking all three meals for my daughter and granddaughter every single day. You also have to take care of their daily necessities. Are you willing to do that?”

Jordan had been doing that for three years prior to this so he nodded and said simply, “Yes, I’m willing.”

Marissa continued, “Second, after you marry into the Howards, you mustn’t have friends of the opposite sex. You must be home by ten at night and you can’t go out for meals or watch movies with the opposite sex. Are you willing to accept that?”

Upon hearing her words, many of the guests burst into laughter. ‘Does the Howards’ son-in-law have to follow such rules?’

Jordan was speechless but he nevertheless nodded and said, “I’m willing.”

“Third, after marrying my daughter, you may not go through my daughter’s cell phone, diary, and other personal, private belongings without her permission. My daughter can have meals and watch movies with the opposite sex as she pleases, and you are not to have any objections.”

As soon as she named the third condition, everyone was in an uproar.

“Damn it, these requirements are really harsh. Doesn’t this just mean that the man can’t have any interaction with the opposite sex except for his wife while the woman can see any man as she pleases?”

“Yes, Miss Howard can stay out all night and her husband can’t even question her about it. Isn’t that too unfair on him?”

“Hehe, told ya it isn’t that easy being the live-in husband of the Howards.”

Before Jordan could speak, Lauren flew into a rage on the stage and she hissed, “Mom, what kind of conditions are those?”

Lauren was infuriated because the wedding, which was originally supposed to be romantic, was ruined by her mother.

Marissa was making it sound like Lauren would really stay out with other men and cheat on Jordan after they got married. She had a vague feeling that the guests at the wedding were already looking at her that way.

Martin was just as exasperated. “Marissa, what are you trying to do!?! What nonsense are you spouting!?! Stefan, quickly drag your wife down the stage, and don’t let her embarrass us any further!”

Brad, who was seated in a wheelchair, started laughing because he knew that his mother had deliberately said those words to irk Jordan.

“Haha, it would be awesome if Lauren could make a cuckold of Jordan Steele. Hahaha.”

Brad knew that Jordan’s ex-wife, Hailey, had cheated on him so if he were to face the same thing again in his second marriage, he’d probably break down.

At this moment, Stefan slowly got up and acknowledged, “Yes, Dad.”

Just as Stefan was about to go on stage to pull Marissa down, a beautiful guest suddenly stood up and hollered at the stage.

“Jordan Steele, you’re such a good-for-nothing! You’re the scion of the Steeles, what are you becoming someone else’s husband for? You’re an embarrassment!”
