Originally, Martin had planned to feign ignorance on Marissa’s behalf. However, since Jordan and the rest had heard her, he had no choice but to reprimand her.
Marissa did not dare to say a word after being reprimanded by her father-in-law. Moreover, she felt very embarrassed. Jordan had never seen her so embarrassed before. She wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it!
Jordan could not help chuckling. He felt very satisfied!
However, Marissa was very angry when she saw Jordan smiling. “You useless son-in-law, what are you laughing at?! You even need someone to feed you during meals. Don’t you know any shame? Jordan Steele, if you’re a true man, you should have the dignity to divorce my daughter. Don’t drag her down
with you!”
Martin warned Marissa. “Marissa!”
Lauren also chided her. “Mom, do you have to speak so harshly so early in the morning?”
‘There was a rule in the Howard family. Quarreling was not allowed in the morning.
However, Jordan was not angry. Ever since he found out that Marissa was not the culprit who caused his blindness, he felt that this mother-in-law of his was only a little vicious with her words. She did not have a truly bad heart.
So he merely said with a smile, “I’m blind now. If I divorce your daughter, who will take care of me? No one will be willing to marry me.”
Marissa was even angrier when she heard that. “Alright, Jordan. You’re such a scoundrel. I can’t believe you think that way! You plan to be a useless scumbag and cling onto my daughter forever?!”
Jordan deliberately goaded her. “That’s right. I want to rely on Lauren for the rest of my life. I want her to stay by my side and feed me.”
Perhaps it was because Jordan had an intimate interaction with Marissa yesterday, albeit by accident. But he suddenly enjoyed bickering with her.
Meanwhile, Marissa had no memory of what happened between her and Jordan last night. She looked at him furiously.
“Eine, since you’re such a scoundrel, I’m not afraid to tell you that at Dad’s birthday banquet in a week, we will be choosing one of the young masters from the good families to be Lauren’s next husband!”
Lauren put down her bowl and chopsticks in a huff. “You can choose all you want. I don’t want anyone else. If you insist on doing this at Dad’s birthday banquet, I won’t be attending.”
Marissa immediately shouted angrily, “How dare you not attend! You are becoming more and more outrageous!”
Jordan held Lauren’s hand and said, “Honey, Grandpa is a person of status. He’ll be a joke to outsiders if any of his family members were to be absent from the banquet.”
Marissa and Martin were both stunned. Jordan was encouraging Lauren to attend the birthday banquet, to choose her next husband?
‘Would Jordan be so magnanimous?
Jordan continued, “We’ll go together.”
Marissa was stunned. “Jordan, you’re attending too?”
Jordan said, “Of course. I’m the grandson-in-law of the Howard family and it is Lauren’s grandfather’s birthday. How can I not attend?”
Martin cleared his throat. “Jordan, I know you’re filial, but your current condition…”
