Chapter 98


    Ondo.


    It was almost midnight when Jordan returned to Rose Garden Vi.


    At this time, Hailey’s former college ssmates had all left.


    To Jordan’s surprise, Hailey’s parents came over after her ssmates left to help clean up.


    Jordan entered and said to them, “You don’t actually have to clean up. I have a helper.”


    Sylvie hurried over and poured Jordan a ss of water.


    She then said, “My dear son-inw, you must be tired after such a long day of work. Sit down and have


    some water.”


    Afterward, she pointed at the mess in the hall and said, “Those servants won’t know how to pack up at


    all. There are so many expensive ornaments here. What if they identally get damaged? Benedict


    and I don’t have much to do anyway. We’ll just treat it as a workout.”


    Benedict chimed in with a deferential smile, “Yes, we’ll treat it as a workout. It’s not tiring at all.”


    Jordan shook his head helplessly. Benedict and Sylvie had never “worked out” by doing household


    chores in the past three years.


    Jordan didn’t say anything else and instead walked further in. Hailey hugged him.


    “Hubby, you’re home. I missed you so much.”


    They had only been apart for three hours, but Hailey was already acting all coquettish as she leaped


    into his embrace.


    For a couple that was deeply in love with each other, one minute of being away from each other would


    feel like an eternity.


    Jordan and Hailey had never been so affectionate with each other in the past.


    Although they did have feelings for each other in the past, Hailey would never express her feelings for


    Jordan because she despised his identity.


    Things are different now. Jordan had be the president of Ace Corporation. In contrast, Hailey had


    be a meek, dainty woman who was so vulnerable and helpless that she couldn’t unscrew a bottle


    cap on her own.


    Jordan was ted too. He caressed Hailey’s hair and said, “I’m sorry, I was tied up with work at the


    office, so I couldn’t apany you to entertain your former ssmates.”


    Hailey smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’m actually not that close to my former college ssmates. You don’t


    have to care about them. The only friend of mine you should take seriously is Rachel!”


    Jordan frowned at the mention of Rachel.


    Jordan used to be a live-in husband who had a low status in the family, so he didn’t dare to badmouth


    Hailey’s best friend.


    However, things were different now because Hailey was very obedient towards him.


    Hence, Jordan spoke his mind. “Hailey, I know that you and Rachel have been best friends for more


    than a decade and are very close to each other. However, I still hope that you’ll keep a distance from


    her.”


    “Huh? Why?” Hailey was surprised.


    Jordan said, “Rachel is already married, but her husband is often away on business trips, so she takes


    advantage of that to date other men. I don’t want her to lead you astray.”


    Hailey said with a faint smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t be like her. My husband is so handsome and rich, I


    won’t bother looking at other men!”


    Jordan smiled helplessly. He knew that Hailey was not obsessed with younger hunks like Rachel was.


    Compared to appearance, wealth and status mattered more to Hailey.


    In terms of wealth and status, no one of the same age group as Jordan could pose a threat to him.


    “Hailey, Jordan.”


    Sylvie suddenly walked over again and handed them a box of folic acid tablets.


    “What is this?” Jordan asked with puzzlement.


    Sylvie smiled and said, “Jordan, these are folic acid tablets. Aren’t you and Hailey trying for a baby


    now? Folic acid tablets can prevent congenital neurological disorders in newborns!”


    Jordan felt a little awkward. ‘This mother-inw of mine has been rather thoughtful in all aspectstely.’


    Sylvie would whip up nutritious meals for them every day for the sake of helping them increase the


    chances of conception.


    ...


    The following day, Sylvie came over early in the morning to make breakfast for Jordan and Hailey.


    Breakfast was even more sumptuous than lunch, and Sylvie even personally served Jordan his food.


    “Be careful. It’s hot, my dear son-inw.”


    Jordan said, “Mom, you can just call me Jordan.”


    “Alright, Jordan,” Sylvie said, grinning widely from ear to ear.


    Benedict no longer stood on ceremony either. “Jordan, Grandma has appointed Hailey as the director


    of the Hailey Residences project and me as the deputy director. So, we’ll both be seeing you at your


    office very often.”


    Jordan had also heard about it. As Hailey had already reconciled with him, her status in the family far


    exceeded that of Herman and his children.. Now, Herman was no longer valued.


    Jordan said, “No problem, you cane over anytime. If you have any problems, you can approach


    Victoria or me directly.”


    Hearing Jordan calling Victoria by her first name and omitting herst name, Hailey felt extremely


    jealous. She immediately put her cutlery down and pouted.


    She said furiously, “Hubby, I don’t like Victoria rke, she’s a brazen hussy, and I’m scared that she


    might seduce you. Can you dismiss her?”


    Jordan knew that Hailey and Victoria had had several conflicts before.


    He said, “Honey, Victoria is just a pretty woman who’s exceptionallypetent at work. She knows


    more people than I do in Ondo. If I dismiss her, thepany will incur major losses.”


    Hailey was rather displeased. “Can you give me some shares as well? I also want to be the vice


    president of Ace Corporation!”


    Jordan did not answer immediately.


    Hailey immediately said, “Hmph, you don’t love me at all. I’m yourwfully wedded wife, and I’m going


    to be the mother of your children. Yet, I don’t get a single cent of your money, and you’re not willing to


    give me a tiny amount of shares either.”


    Hailey was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.


    Jordan contemted it carefully and thought that a tiny portion of shares in thepany wouldn’t


    amount to much. She would just be a deputy president in title anyway.


    Hailey was preparing to conceive soon, and once she got pregnant, she would have to stay at home to


    nurse her pregnancy and wouldn’t have the time to go to the office. Hence, he thought it wouldn’t be a


    big deal to give in to her.


    Hence, Jordanpromised, “Alright, I’ll give you a portion of shares.”


    Hailey immediately beamed with joy. “I want arger portion than Victoria rke. Just 0.01% more than


    her, hehe!”

    After breakfast, Benedict personally drove Jordan and Hailey to the Ace Corporation.


    Tension built up as soon as Hailey and Victoria met!
