Chapter 491 - Hailey Comes To England!
Chapter 491 Hailey Comes To England!
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.
A smile was on his face. “Yes, you did. You sang ‘Cold Heart’ by Dua Lipa and Elton John, as well as Adele’s ‘Easy On Me’. You sang and danced. You danced with my grandfather too, and you even did a striptease dance. I couldn’t stop you at all. Honey, I didn’t expect you to have such a passionate and unrestrained side!”
Lauren was completely stunned. She did not know if Jordan was joking or not.
Leaping to snatch the duvet, she hurriedly crawled under the covers, not daring to show her face. “Ahhhh! I’m so embarrassed that I want to commit suicide. I don’t want to live anymore. How can I face your family!”
Lauren had always been the dignified and proper daughter of an influential family. This was her first time at her husband’s house, but she actually did such a thing. She felt like dying! Jordan comforted her with a smile, “Silly, I was joking. You only sang two songs and didn’t dance. In fact, you sang very well. I even recorded it for you. Do you want to watch it?”
AS
“No, no, no!” Lauren shouted from under the covers.
Jordan shook his head. He knew that Lauren would not dare to come out and meet anyone for the time being. Only when it was time for lunch did Lauren finally emerge. She was completely lady-like and did not touch any alcohol.
During the afternoon, Jordan brought Lauren around the castle. Just as the two of them arrived outside the castle and were admiring the unique fruit groves, Jordan’s phone rang. “Hailey?”
Jordan looked at the screen and saw that it was Hailey calling. As he did not want to let Hailey ruin his good mood, he didn’t answer.
However, Hailey kept calling. Jordan had no choice but to answer the call.
“What?” Jordan asked coldly.
“Jordan, where’s your house?”
Jordan said, “Why are you asking this?”
Hailey answered. “I’ve arrived in England and I’m at Trafalgar Square now. I want to go to your house. Can you pick me up?” The words left Jordan speechless. He did not expect Hailey to follow him to England! She was not Jordan’s wife anymore. Why was she even here?!
Jordan replied very directly, “What is going through in that mind of yours? Why would I bring you to my house? Get this straight. You’re not my wife anymore! We’re divorced!”
Yes, Jordan had indeed promised Hailey that he would bring her to the castle to meet his grandfather. However, that was when Jordan still loved Hailey. Now that he had met Victoria and Lauren, the love he once harbored for Hailey had long since disappeared!
Hailey said, “I don’t care, I’m coming anyway! If you don’t come to pick me up, I’ll keep waiting for you at the square! I’m not going anywhere!” Jordan chuckled. “Up to you. Stay as long as you want!”
“I didn’t come alone! I brought our child here. Our son is right beside me. Even if you don’t care about me, you should care about your own flesh and blood, right?”
What?! Jordan was furious. “Hailey, the child is still so young. Why aren’t you staying at home to take good care of him? Why did you bring him here?!”
Hailey was insistent. “Anyway, I have already brought the child here. I want to see your grandfather. Come and pick me up quickly.”
Lauren, who was wearing a floral dress, noticed that Jordan was very angry. She asked in a soft voice, “Hubby, what’s wrong?”
Jordan covered the receiver and said to Lauren, “It’s Hailey. She brought the child to England.”
“Huh?” Lauren was surprised.
Jordan said, “Just as well. My family had plans to bring the child over here anyway. Don’t worry, I won’t let Hailey disturb us.”
After speaking with Lauren, Jordan returned to the call. “Alright, wait at the square. I’ll send someone over now.”
Hailey was overjoyed. “Jordan, I want you to send the golden carriage that you and Lauren rode. I want to take the golden carriage!”
