Chapter 356 Heart-To-Heart Talk With Lauren!


    Chris repeatedly tried to test Jordan''s patience, so Jordan had long wanted to beat him up into a


    pulp.


    Chris previously insulted Jordan and called him poor, but Jordan couldn''t retort because he was


    indeed really penniless now. If he were to get physical, it would be akin to admitting that he was an


    ipetent loser and that he was jealous of Chris, who was wealthy.


    However, it was a personality issue for Chris to insult Jordan by using him of having an affair


    with Lisa.


    However, Jordan''s punch did notnd on Chris.


    Chris was undoubtedly a martial arts practitioner. He hurriedly raised his arm to resist and got into


    an attacking stance. He yelled, "Do you want to fight? Bring it on! Since thest time I fought you,


    I''ve been wanting to fight you every single day!"


    Chris was defeated by Jordan thest time, and after that, he had been training hard every day in a


    bid to regain his pride.


    However, how could Lauren watch Chris and Jordan fight?


    Lauren interjected, "Can you guys not fight in front of Chloe?"


    Although Jordan really wanted to teach Chris a lesson, he decided to tolerate it for Chloe''s sake


    because he didn''t want Chloe to think that her father was a violent man.


    Chloe walked over and asked Jordan, "Dad, do you not have a ce to live in anymore since


    you''ve given the key to your house to thatdy?"


    Children are immature and tend to say whateveres to mind, so her words made Chrisugh out


    loud.


    "Hahaha, Chloe, you''re so right. Jordan Steele doesn''t even have a ce to live now, hahaha."


    Jordan was now penniless and had returned the key to the house he was staying in, so he would


    probably have to sleep on the street tonight.


    Chloe continued to raise her head and eximed, "Awesome! In that case, Daddy, sleep with me


    and Mommy! The three of us will sleep together!"


    Chris, who wasughing and smiling, instantly turned pale and no longer felt that Chloe''s words


    were pleasing to his ears.


    With a strong desire to spite Chris, Jordan stroked Chloe''s head and said, "Okay, baby, I''ll sleep


    next to you and Mommy."


    "I''ll cripple you if you f***ing dare to sleep next to Lauren!" Chris flew into a rage immediately.


    Jordan retorted unceremoniously, "I''m going to sleep next to my daughter. It has nothing to do with


    you!"


    With an awkward expression, Lauren looked at Jordan and said, "Don''t say that. You might cause a


    misunderstanding easily. Chris and I are about to get married soon, so it''s really not appropriate for


    you to stay here."


    "If you don''t have a ce to stay, I can arrange a ce for you, or book a hotel room for you."


    Last night, Jordan said that Lauren had resorted to unscrupulous means to marry him, which left


    Lauren with no choice but to be a little heartless towards him now.


    She did not want to let Jordan stay in her house again, lest he mistakenly think that she would want


    to take the opportunity to get close to him or something.


    Besides, Lauren knew that given Chris''s temper and character, he would never allow a stranger to


    live in his fiancee''s house because of how prideful he was.


    Seeing that Lauren also did not agree to let Jordan stay here, Chris guffawed and gibed, "Hear that,


    pauper!?! If you don''t have enough money to stay in a hotel, I can give you some! Forget about


    staying in my fiancee''s house!"


    Jordan didn''t want to get into an argument with Chris in Chloe''s presence, so Jordan took Lauren''s


    hand and said, "I have something to say to you."


    Seeing that Jordan was pulling Lauren''s hand, Chris immediately snapped, "Hey, what are you


    doing? Let go of my woman!"


    With Jordan holding her hand, Lauren''s heart skipped a beat and pounded rapidly. She turned her


    head to face Chris and exined, ''Go outside and wait for me. We do need to talk about Chloe."


    "But..."


    Chris knew that, as Chloe''s father, Jordan was qualified to talk to Lauren about some matters. After


    all, Lauren was taking Chloe with her, even though she was getting married. Hence, it would have


    something to do with Jordan.


    However, Chris was worried that Jordan would ruin his wedding!


    Jordan indeed intended to do so!


    When he came to Lauren''s bedroom, the room was instantly filled with a fresh fragrance.


    Thanks to her helper, the rooms were all spick and span, with every single part of the house


    spotless.


    Although Lauren was a mother of one, the decor of her room was still young, energetic, and lively.


    "Lauren..."


    Jordan looked at Lauren and slowly began to speak.


    On the other hand, Lauren lowered her head and took the initiative to let go of Jordan''s hand. He


    then deliberately said coldly, "Don''t address me that way. Just call Miss Howard like you used to, or


    call me by my full name."


    "Lauren..."


    Jordan insisted on calling her by her name. "I used to deliberately keep my distance from you


    because you are too beautiful and the rtionship between us is quite special."


    "But I figured out now that we don''t need to act like this because I''m Chloe''s father, and you''re


    Chloe''s mother. We are destined to be in close rtions, so there is no need to care about whether


    it''s too ambiguous or not."


    Lauren understood what Jordan meant. Since the two of them shared a child, it would seem a little


    too stupid to mull over the intimacy of the way they addressed each other.


    Lauren nodded, giving silent consent for Jordan to call her by her name.


    Jordan said, "Lauren, I want to solemnly apologize to you. I shouldn''t have said that to youst night


    nor doubted you. Can you forgive me?"


    Jordan still felt now that it was the Howards that took Victoria, but he was certain that Lauren


    definitely didn''t know about it.


    Lauren said, "There is nothing to forgive you for. Since your girlfriend is missing, it''s normal for you


    to be emotional."


    Jordan said, "I know you agreed to marry Chris because of me. I also know that you don''t fancy him


    at all and I hope you can cancel your wedding with him. I don''t want you to marry a person you don''t


    love!"


    Lauren shook her head and said, "This matter... can never be changed. I wasn''t acting impulsively,


    but rather, I''ve really decided to marry him."


    "My family has groomed me and provided for me for so many years. It''s time I do something for


    them."


    "But..." Jordan could not bear to let her go through that.


    Lauren said firmly, "Don''t bring up this matter again. Whether I get married happily or not has


    nothing to do with you."


    Jordan sighed and said, "Yes, I know I''m in no ce to control you, but we have a daughter. Once


    you get married, what about our daughter?"

    Lauren said, "Chloe has to follow me. Jordan, you haven''t been by Chloe''s side thest few years


    and I raised her single-handedly. She means the world to me. You can''t be that cruel and take her


    away from me."


    Lauren was getting agitated and Jordan knew it was because Chloe was very important to her.


    Jordan said, "I never intended to snatch Chloe away from you. I''m just worried that Chris Hank


    would mistreat her after bing her stepfather!"
