Chapter 380


    Matt seemed to bepletely dumbfounded by the fact that Jordan had managed to easily subdue the


    ferocious Chris, despite being smaller than thetter!


    “Jordan was so suave!”

    Matt couldn’t help but praise. He was the doctor who had once constructed a perfect image of Jordan


    and, in his opinion, the image of Jordan that he had created was really unrealistic.


    However, when he saw the real Jordan, he actually discovered that the real Jordan was even more


    excellent and powerful than the image he created!


    Jordan absolutely hated Chris’s despicable means. He punched Chris in the face, but Jordan


    suppressed him, leaving him with no means to retaliate.


    At this moment, Lauren walked over and tried to persuade them. “Stop fighting!”


    Lauren pulled Jordan away and then said to Chris, “Since you already know my secret, let’s cancel the


    engagement and pretend that we don’t know each other in the future.”


    Chris got up from the ground, grabbed the tissue that Robb handed over, and wiped the blood that


    dripped out of his nose after he got punched by Jordan.


    “I’ll never cancel the engagement!”


    Chris said firmly, “I-I can ept sleeping in a separate room from you after we get married. I can also


    ept you still loving Jordan after marriage!”


    His words had taken Lauren aback. She had known Chris for many years, but she couldn’t believe that


    these humble words hade from Chris!


    Lauren said softly, “Chris… why are you doing this? I know you’re a chauvinistic alpha male and this


    will make you too aggrieved.”


    Robb also hurriedly said, “Yes, Mr. Hank, how can you ept such an unreasonable request!?! If you


    stoop low and give in to Miss Howard so easily, she’ll definitely cheat on you with Jordan after you get


    married!”


    Smack!


    Jordan pped Robb on his face and barked in exasperation, “Bastard! What do you take me and


    Lauren for!?!”


    Robb was just treating Lauren like a wanton woman who would easily cheat on her spouse, just like


    Hailey!


    Chris was exasperated, and he too felt embarrassed after saying those words. However, he would


    never cancel the engagement.


    “Lauren, I would rather be with a woman whom I love but doesn’t love me than a woman who loves me,


    but I don’t.”


    “Besides, we’re marrying for the interests of our families and our marriage will be beneficial for both the


    Howards and the Hanks. So, we have to continue with the marriage!”


    Lauren chose to marry Chris, only for the sake of her family’s interests.


    Seeing that Chris had agreed to sleep in a different room than hers after they got married and wasn’t


    bothered by the fact that Lauren had feelings for Jordan, Lauren said, “Okay then, since you can


    ept those conditions, I can marry you.”


    As an outsider, Jordan was in no ce to say anything.


    Chris glowered at Jordan and left in exasperation.


    As soon as he walked out of the hospital, Robb kept persuading, “Sir, what’s wrong with you today?


    How can you agree to such a humiliating condition?”


    “If you can’t sleep in the same room as her and consummate with her? Besides, she also has a crush


    on others and sooner orter, the two of them are going to hook up!”


    Robb was rather loyal to Chris. He knew that Chris’s ex-wife had cheated on him, which led to the


    divorce. This time, Lauren clearly had a reason to cheat on him, so he didn’t want Chris to be betrayed


    again.


    Chris sat in the car, closed the door, and then said viciously, “Once she officially marries me on the 1st


    of April, she’ll be my wife. Who is she to say anything?”


    Robb also sat in the driver’s seat, turned around, and looked at the backseat. “Mr. Hank, do you n to


    resort to force? That doesn’t seem appropriate, does it? Hasn’t Dr. Gale mentioned it before? If you try


    to possess Miss Howard by force, it will trigger great repulsion from Miss Howard. She might face an


    emotional breakdown!”


    Chris humphed coldly and eximed, “I don’t care if she faces an emotional breakdown or not! When


    she’s my wife, I can do whatever I want to her! Even if she dies, that’s no big deal! Keep driving!”


    ...


    Four dayster.


    It was already March 29th, which was less than three days till the 1st of April, the day of Chris and


    Lauren’s wedding.


    In the past few days, Jordan would sometimes dream of himself crashing Lauren’s wedding and


    snatching the bride away!


    At eight o’clock in the morning, Jordan had just had breakfast with Chloe in Lauren’s home. They were


    now ying in the yard.


    All of a sudden, two graceful and elegant middle-aged women walked in smiling.


    Jordan knew one of them. She was Lauren’s mother, Marissa.


    “Grandma!”


    Chloe scurried towards Lauren’s mother as soon as she saw her.


    “Hey, my dear baby,” said Marissa, who happily picked Chloe up in her arms.


    The middle-aged woman beside Marissa smiled and asked, “Chloe, do you still remember who I am?”


    Marissaughed and said, “Chloe, this is Uncle Chris’s mother, whom you’ve met at a meal previously.”


    Only then did it ur to Jordan that Chris’s mother had arrived.


    At this moment, Marissa and Chris’s mother also saw Jordan.


    “Ma’am,” Jordan greeted Marissa politely.


    However, Marissa humphed coldly and shot Jordan a look of displeasure.


    Previously, Jordan had beaten up her son, Brad, who was now still hospitalized. The doctor even said


    that Brad may have to limp for the rest of his life and would never be able to wakl properly like he used


    to.


    Hence, Marissa absolutely hated Jordan!


    “Mrs. Howard, who’s this?”


    Chris’s mother nced at Jordan and asked in confusion.


    Marissa looked at Chloe and answered, “He’s Chloe’s biological father.”


    Chris’s mother instantly smiled without showing her teeth. “Oh, so he’s thatwless punk. Lauren is


    such a good girl and yet, she had a child with him. What a shame.”


    At this moment, Lauren also heard themotion and walked towards the courtyard.


    “Mom, Aunt Carol, what brings you here?” Lauren asked.


    Chris’s mother said smilingly, “My dear daughter-inw, I’m here to take you and Chloe home for a few


    days.”


    “Huh? Isn’t the wedding three days away? Why are we…” Lauren was bewildered.


    Marissa exined, “We have a rule in our family where our daughter-inw-to-be has to stay in our


    family for two days before the wedding, so as to get familiar with the rules of the family and to get along


    with us. You can take it as a premarital trial.”


    Marissa said, “This rule has been in ce since a century ago and we’ve been following it till this day. It


    was the same for me when I married into the Hanks back then.”


    “You’ll be staying in mine and Chris’s father’s home for the next two days, not your matrimonial home.


    It’s okay, don’t worry, I won’t let you share the same room as Chris for the next few days.”


    The Hanks were a notable family, after all. It wasn’t strange for them to have such a rule.


    “Okay.” Lauren didn’t refute either.


    “Alright, quickly pack your bags then,” Chris’s mother said happily.


    “Wait a minute!” Jordan suddenly interjected!
