Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You…”
Chris had been in the capital for three decades, and never had he ever felt so humiliated!
He was not only getting beaten up into a pulp, he even got despised by a driver!!!
“Well, you’ve got some nerve. I won’t let you off easily for what happened today!”
Chris walked towards Brad’s parents and took his jacket from Brad’s mother. He said, “Uncle, Aunt, I’m leaving now.”
“Hey, Chris, don’t go.”
Brad’s mother followed him out and continuously said some nice things to Chris, telling him not to take it to heart.
On the other hand, Brad clapped his hands and exclaimed gleefully, “Well done. Let’s see if Chris dares to harass my sister again next time!”
Brad abhorred Chris because Chris was once married. He was an extreme male chauvinist who was extremely authoritative at home. He attached great importance to his authority and power and even hit women.
His ex-wife had divorced him precisely because she couldn’t stand his chauvinism.
Of course, Brad did not want his sister to marry a man like him.
However, at this moment, Brad’s mother came back from seeing Chris off and then walked towards Jordan to slap him!
Smack!
Brad’s mother slapped Jordan’s face!
Jordan was looking at his baby daughter at the moment, completely unaware that Brad’s mother had walked over.
Brad’s mother seemed to be extremely furious, and she hollered at Jordan, “You’re just a chauffeur. How dare you beat up Mr. Hank? Do you know what your status is and what his status is?”
“Mr. Hank is going to become our son-in-law, which makes him your future master! Do you have a death wish!?!”
Seeing Jordan being beaten up, Lauren hurriedly came over and lamented, “Mom, how can you hit him?”
Brad’s mother, Marissa, said self-righteously, “He chased my son-in-law away. Doesn’t he deserve to get slapped?”
Lauren was just about to argue and retaliate, but to her surprise, Chloe scurried over and hugged Jordan in a bid to protect him. She snapped at Marissa. “Grandma, don’t hit Daddy!”
Everyone was immediately stunned.
Brad’s parents were dumbfounded, and Clarice couldn’t help but ask, “Chloe, what did you say? This man is your father?”
“You’re the person who knocked Lauren up back then?”
Other than Brad, the others looked at Jordan with shock and hatred.
Before Jordan could admit it, Lauren hurriedly explained, “No, Chloe made that up. She has nothing to do with him. She just wants to have a father too badly.”
Hearing Lauren’s explanation, Clarice heaved a sigh of relief. “You scared me. I thought it was true. If you had gotten pregnant with a chauffeur’s child back then, it really wouldn’t be worth your while. Haha.”
Lauren ignored Clarice and instead looked at Jordan. “You’re not hurt, are you?”
Jordan shook his head. He regarded the slap as compensation to Lauren.
Lauren glared at her parents with displeasure. “I’m going home.”
Brad hurriedly said, “Let my chauffeur drive you there.”
Lauren glanced at Jordan, who also wanted to continue staying with them. She said, “Alright.”
The three of them came outside. Lauren drove a red Jeep Wrangler.
When they reached the car, Jordan took the initiative and said, “Let me drive.”
However, Lauren refuted, “It’s okay. You can sit there.”
Although Lauren looked like she was vulnerable, it was apparent from the car she drove that she was an independent and strong woman.
Girls like her prefer to get everything handled themselves.
Chloe too took Jordan’s hand and said, “Mommy is good at driving. Let her drive while you keep me company, Daddy.”
Jordan pinched Chloe’s little cheeks. Since the first time they met at the café, he could long tell that she adored him very much and had a lot to say to him.
He remembered that Audrey couldn’t resist trying to hug her the second time he was there. After Audrey carried her, Jordan wanted to carry her too.
When Jordan was about to carry Chloe, Chloe opened her arms to let him do so.
However, Lauren stopped them.
Jordan didn’t know why Lauren wouldn’t let him carry his own daughter.
Jordan opened the door of the back seat and carried Chloe into it. He said, “Okay, I’ll sit with you and let Mommy drive.”
Jordan and Chloe sat side by side in the car, and Chloe suddenly requested, “I want to sit on your lap, Daddy.”
Lauren, who was in the driver’s seat, frantically chided Chloe. “Chloe.”
However, Jordan picked up Chloe and put her on his lap before saying to Lauren, “Let her sit like this. I’ll hold her. It’ll be safe.”
Lauren shook her head. Chloe was usually very obedient, but she was rather mischievous today for some reason.
Lauren’s driving skills were indeed superb, especially her parking skills. She could park the car easily without looking at the reverse camera footage.
Soon, the three returned to the house where they lived.
Jordan asked, “Why do you live here? Is it because you were kicked out by your family after what happened between us?”
Lauren said, “I was the one who wanted to move out. My parents kept making me go on blind dates when I lived there. It’s really annoying.”
Jordan said curiously, “Why haven’t you gotten married in the past few years? With your condition, you should be able to find a good man even if you have a daughter, right?”
Lauren didn’t want to answer at first. She paused before saying, “I don’t want to sacrifice myself because my parents arranged marriage alliances for me for the sake of the family’s interests.”
“Oh.”
Jordan did not continue to probe further because he could tell that Lauren was a woman with extremely high standards for love.
Walking to the living room, Lauren took Chloe’s hand and said, “Chloe, you haven’t practiced the piano today.”
Walking to the living room, Lauren took Chloe’s hand and said, “Chloe, you haven’t practiced piano today, oh.”
Jordan observed the furniture and decor of the living room, which was relatively simple and even shabby compared to the mansion Jordan had lived in previously.
The fact that Lauren chose to live in such a place was enough to show that she was not a materialistic woman, unlike Hailey.
When Jordan saw the Steinway piano placed in the living room, he said, “Chloe has started learning to play the piano? Chloe, how about I teach you to play the piano?”
“Sure, sure.”
Chloe, who did not like to practice the piano, was suddenly full of interest.
Lauren looked at Jordan with some surprise and asked, “You know how to play the piano too?”
Maybe she thought that a man like Jordan, who was proficient in martial arts, probably wouldn’t be well-versed in such artistic things.
Jordan said, “The world-famous pianist, Evan Cadence, is my junior. Don’t worry, leave it to me to teach Chloe to play the piano from now on.”
Holding Chloe in his arms, Jordan sat down beside the piano and played a piece, making Chloe applaud.
Seeing Jordan’s piano skills, Lauren felt relieved. She asked, “Jordan, are you staying for dinner? If you are, I’ll go cook.”
Jordan said, “I’m not just staying here for dinner.. I’m staying here for the night.”
