Chapter 371


    “What? Was this caused by you again!?!”


    Matt seemed to be very concerned about Lauren and Jordan thought that perhaps it was not only


    limited to the concern from a doctor to a patient.


    Lauren was so beautiful that no man would be able to resist her charm.


    Matt said furiously, “Although I know I can’t beat you, I still want to hit you!”


    Matt was really courageous and brazen to have swung his fist at Jordan to hit him, despite knowing


    that Jordan was extremely tough and strong.


    Besides, his strength didn’t hurt or disturb Jordan at all, and Jordan didn’t care about the light punch


    from Matt at all. Jordan even hoped that he could hit him a few more times so that he could make up


    for the damage he had done to Lauren!


    Matt said, “If you’re still a man, you should marry Lauren! Be responsible for her instead of letting her


    marry other men!”


    “She won’t be happy marrying any other man except you!”


    In fact, Matt was also single and was very fond of Lauren. However, in thest four years, he had never


    dared to harbor any inappropriate thoughts about Lauren and never dared to court her.


    It wasn’t because Lauren’s family was esteemed and powerful, but because Matt knew clearly that


    Jordan was the only person Lauren loved.


    Jordan did not say anything. How could outsiders possibly know about the rtionships of every single


    person?


    If he married Lauren out of sympathy, what would happen to Victoria?


    He can’t save one woman and then hurt another at the next turn.

    “I’ll go keep herpany.”


    Jordan stood up and walked out of the room before going to the ce where Lauren was resting.


    Chloe was still staring at her mother with her eyes wide open. Seeing that her mother was sleeping,


    Chloe put her finger on her lips and did a “shh” gesture at Jordan to tell him to keep quiet and make his


    footsteps as light as possible when he walked over, lest he disturbs Lauren during her sleep.


    Jordan was very heartened for Lauren. He walked slowly and went over with gentle footsteps.


    Afterwards, he held Chloe in his arms.


    He said softly, “Baby, let’s sleep here together with Mommy, okay?”


    “Alright.”


    Chloe soony in Jordan’s arms and fell asleep. After she fell asleep, Jordan carried her to bed to rest


    before returning to Lauren’s side.


    Around four o’clock in the morning, Lauren suddenly started talking in her sleep.


    “No… Don’t touch me. Don’t touch me!”


    Jordan frantically woke up and held onto Lauren’s hand to give her a sense of security, after which he


    switched on the lights of the room with a remote control.


    “It’s okay, Lauren, I’m here, don’t be scared.”


    Jordan held Lauren’s hand andforted her.


    Lauren was jolted awake from her nightmare, and the moment she saw Jordan when she opened her


    eyes, she suddenly leaped into his arms and called his name. “Jordan…”


    While hugging her, Jordan patted her shoulder and continued tofort, “I’m here, I’m here.”


    However, after a few seconds, Lauren suddenly realized that she shouldn’t be hugging Jordan and thus


    quickly moved back with a look of embarrassment.


    “I… I’m sorry, I…”


    Lauren tried to exin that she shouldn’t have gone to hug Jordan.


    On the other hand, Jordan continued to hold Lauren’s hand and said, “I understand. I know it all.”


    continued to hold Lauren’s hand and said, “I understand,


    Jordan said, “Dr. Gale has told me everything about you treating me as… the perfect lover.”


    Lauren quickly retracted her hand shyly. Even though she had already given birth, she still found it


    embarrassing because she was a woman.


    Jordan asked, “Lauren, I know I don’t deserve to be your perfect lover, and I’d like to thank you for


    choosing to forgive me regardless of what happened in the past, and for treating me as such an


    important person in your life.”


    “If I had known earlier, I would never have said that about you that day. Why didn’t you tell me about


    this earlier?”


    Lauren ruffled her hair and said, “You’ve always had a wife or girlfriend. You’ll only feel more burdened


    if I tell you.”


    Lauren was really too kindhearted.


    Jordan said, “Dr. Gale told me that in your current situation, I’m the only person with whom you can


    ept physical intimacy.”


    “You should call off your wedding with Chris. A chauvinist like him will never allow you to sleep in


    separate rooms like him because he finds it humiliating.”


    In fact, Lauren had also been fretting over this matter. “I’ll find a suitable time to talk to him about this.


    The wedding date has already been set and both our families are famous in DC. We can’t just cancel


    the wedding as and when we please.”


    “But…”


    Jordan still wanted to continue to persuade Lauren, but she didn’t want to continue talking about this


    matter, so she stood up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”


    Chloe woke up at 5:30 am, and the trio left the hospital together.


    Jordan nned to have breakfast outside at first, but Jordan insisted that he make breakfast for them


    when they got home.


    Reason being, Jordan guessed that Lauren’s idea of a perfect lover must be a romantic and meticulous


    man who would prepare a sumptuous and romantic breakfast for her.


    Hence, Jordan wanted to realize one of Lauren’s fantasies.


    Jordan made a heart-shaped sunny-side up for Lauren and Chloe each, with a slice of heart-shaped


    bread underneath it, garnished with vegetables around the te.


    It was a simple meal made of simple ingredients, but it was extremely romantic and upscale.


    “What a beautiful sunny-side up. I can’t bear to eat it at all.”


    Lauren smiled.


    Just as the trio were having breakfast happily and joking with each other, Chris suddenly entered.


    “Miss Howard, Mr. Hank is here,” Felicia the maid informed.


    Chris entered, only to see the three of them chatting merrily over breakfast, feeling extremely


    displeased.


    Lauren was clearly his fiancée!


    “You’re here. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to join us?” Lauren greeted.


    If it was any other normal girl, she would probably ask him why he had left without saying bye


    yesterday, but Lauren was obviously not a spoiled girl.


    However, Chris questioned sullenly, “Lauren, I heard you didn’te homest night.”


    Lauren nodded and said, “I was feeling unwell yesterday, so I went to the hospital.”


    “You spent the night in the hospital?”


    Chris didn’t quite believe it because Lauren didn’t seem to be sick or injured.


    “Yes,” Lauren answered.


    “What about him?” Chris asked, pointing at Jordan.


    Lauren didn’t hide the truth from him. “He apanied me and Chloe to the hospital.”


    Since Chris’s underlings got beaten up by Jordan thest time, he hadn’t sent anyone to keep an eye


    on Jordan, so he didn’t know what exactly happened between Lauren and Jordanst night.


    Chris said with a flushed face, “He stayed with you in the hospital for the entire night? Surely you two


    didn’t sleep in the same room, did you?”


    Both Lauren and Jordan remained silent because they had indeed stayed in the same room.


    Seeing that both of them did not refute, Chris knew that their silence was akin to admitting that they


    had shared the same roomst night.


    He snapped angrily, “Fine, Lauren, you’re my fiancée, but you slept with another man before we got


    married.. How dare you make me a cuckold!?!?”
