Chapter 504 Lauren: I Can Accept Victoria!
Lauren’s heart ached when she saw Jordan being slapped. She quickly pulled Marissa back. “Mom, what are you doing? Why did you slap Jordan?”
Marissa was furious. “Why?! He’s not faithful to you. He wants to get back together with his old lover and abandon you. I have every right to slap him!”
This was Jordan’s home. Jordan could have slapped his mother-in-law back, but he did not do so for Lauren’s sake. If Jordan slapped his mother-in-law back, it would indeed be unseemly for a man!
He couldn’t promise that he would treat Victoria like a stranger when he saw her again.
He couldn’t promise that he wouldn’t have intimate relations with Victoria. Perhaps the two of them might make love on the first day they reunited, and he would wrong Lauren.
Marissa pointed at Jordan “I won’t allow you to go! I won’t let you accept this mission. Go and find your grandfather immediately and tell him to give up on this mission!”
Jordan did not like Marissa pointing at him. He was apologetic toward Lauren, but not to Marissa!
With that, Jordan picked Marissa up!
Marissa’s face instantly turned red. She felt embarrassed to be carried by her son-in-law like this. She kept struggling. “What… what are you trying to do? Put me down.” Jordan had no intention of taking advantage of her. If he had such intentions, Marissa would have been at his mercy at Martin’s villa that night.
“I am taking you out of this room,” Jordan said coldly as he carried Marissa out of the room.
Marissa kept shouting in the corridor, “Sexual harassment! Molester! Jordan, you’re such a disgrace. How dare you molest your mother-in-law! Is the Steele family going to do something about this?”
Jesse heard the commotion and walked over. Seeing Jordan carrying Marissa, he asked, “Jordan, what’s going on? Why are you carrying Mrs. Howard?”
After putting Marissa down, Jordan replied, “Jesse, please help me look after my mother-in-law. Don’t let her disturb me in my room. I need to talk to Lauren, and we need to talk alone.”
With that, Jordan returned to his room.
To Jordan’s surprise, Lauren was helping him pack his luggage! Although she was Jordan’s wife, she was not stopping him, like Marissa tried to do.
Instead, she was helping Jordan pack his luggage.
“Lauren…”
When Lauren saw that Jordan had returned, she stood up slowly and said gently, “Hubby, go ahead and find Victoria. Although I don’t know why she left you, I know that she must still like you very much. I also know that you have never forgotten her.”
Jordan held Lauren’s fair and tender hand gently. “I’m sorry.”
A tear suddenly fell on Jordan’s hand. “Hubby, I’m already very happy and satisfied to be able to live happily with you over the past month. If there comes a day when you don’t want me anymore, I won’t have any regrets.”
Tears welled up in Lauren’s eyes. Her magnanimous words made Jordan’s heart ache!
“Lauren, I’ve already hurt you once. How can I hurt you again? I won’t abandon you. But Victoria is also very important to me.
“Honey, if I find Victoria… are you willing…”
Jordan wanted to ask Lauren if she was willing to share him with Victoria.
However, he was too embarrassed to ask.
After all, monogamy was the worldwide norm.
