Chapter 504 - Lauren: I Can Accept Victoria!

Lauren’s heart ached when she saw Jordan being slapped. She quickly pulled Marissa back. “Mom, what are you doing? Why did you slap Jordan?”

Marissa was furious. “Why?! He’s not faithful to you. He wants to get back together with his old lover and abandon you. I have every right to slap him!”

This was Jordan’s home. Jordan could have slapped his mother-in-law back, but he did not do so for Lauren’s sake. If Jordan slapped his mother-in-law back, it would indeed be unseemly for a man!

He couldn’t promise that he would treat Victoria like a stranger when he saw her again.

He couldn’t promise that he wouldn’t have intimate relations with Victoria. Perhaps the two of them might make love on the first day they reunited, and he would wrong Lauren.

Marissa pointed at Jordan “I won’t allow you to go! I won’t let you accept this mission. Go and find your grandfather immediately and tell him to give up on this mission!”

Jordan did not like Marissa pointing at him. He was apologetic toward Lauren, but not to Marissa!

With that, Jordan picked Marissa up!

Marissa’s face instantly turned red. She felt embarrassed to be carried by her son-in-law like this. She kept struggling. “What… what are you trying to do? Put me down.” Jordan had no intention of taking advantage of her. If he had such intentions, Marissa would have been at his mercy at Martin’s villa that night.

“I am taking you out of this room,” Jordan said coldly as he carried Marissa out of the room.

Marissa kept shouting in the corridor, “Sexual harassment! Molester! Jordan, you’re such a disgrace. How dare you molest your mother-in-law! Is the Steele family going to do something about this?”

Jesse heard the commotion and walked over. Seeing Jordan carrying Marissa, he asked, “Jordan, what’s going on? Why are you carrying Mrs. Howard?”

After putting Marissa down, Jordan replied, “Jesse, please help me look after my mother-in-law. Don’t let her disturb me in my room. I need to talk to Lauren, and we need to talk alone.”

With that, Jordan returned to his room.

To Jordan’s surprise, Lauren was helping him pack his luggage! Although she was Jordan’s wife, she was not stopping him, like Marissa tried to do.

Instead, she was helping Jordan pack his luggage.

“Lauren…”

When Lauren saw that Jordan had returned, she stood up slowly and said gently, “Hubby, go ahead and find Victoria. Although I don’t know why she left you, I know that she must still like you very much. I also know that you have never forgotten her.”

Jordan held Lauren’s fair and tender hand gently. “I’m sorry.”

A tear suddenly fell on Jordan’s hand. “Hubby, I’m already very happy and satisfied to be able to live happily with you over the past month. If there comes a day when you don’t want me anymore, I won’t have any regrets.”

Tears welled up in Lauren’s eyes. Her magnanimous words made Jordan’s heart ache!

“Lauren, I’ve already hurt you once. How can I hurt you again? I won’t abandon you. But Victoria is also very important to me.

“Honey, if I find Victoria… are you willing…”

Jordan wanted to ask Lauren if she was willing to share him with Victoria.

However, he was too embarrassed to ask.

After all, monogamy was the worldwide norm.

When Jordan and Hailey were still together, how would he react if Hailey had asked Jordan if he was willing to share her with Tyler?

Jordan would be so angry that he would beat someone up! This kind of request was too much for any dignified man or woman!

However, Lauren beat him to it. “I’m willing! As long as I can be with you, I’m willing to be the mistress! Jordan, I’m different from Victoria and Hailey. After they leave you, they are able to fall in love with other men and have children with them. But I’m destined to only love you in this life. My illness makes it impossible for me to live with other men. I really can’t leave you…”

Jordan was very moved by Lauren’s words.

He hugged Lauren tightly. “Honey, I won’t leave you. I promise you this.”

Jordan did not expect Lauren to be willing to be a mistress. In that case, Jordan would not have to worry about choosing between Lauren and Victoria!

At this moment, Marissa and Jesse were also talking.

Jesse asked, “Did you fight with Jordan again? Why? He has always been respectful towards

you.”

Marissa said angrily, “You were right. Jordan still hankers after Victoria! He wants to pack his luggage and go find Victoria!”

Jesse was a little puzzled. “How is that possible? Victoria is with Jamie now. He doesn’t know where they are.”

Marissa explained. “Your grandfather has arranged a new training mission for Jordan. He wants Jordan to look for Jamie! Jordan can officially look for his old lover!”

“What? Grandpa gave him a new mission to find Jamie?” Jesse suddenly became very agitated.

Marissa replied, “Yes, Jordan told me just now. What’s wrong?”

Jesse seemed to be very angry as he ran downstairs to Charleston’s room.

Knock-knock.

“Grandpa!”

Jesse knocked on Charleston’s door and walked in. He asked, “Grandpa, you assigned a new mission to Jordan, for him to find Jamie?”

Charleston nodded. “Yes, I want Jordan to bring him back.”

Jesse was very agitated. “I was already assigned to find Jamie and bring him back. Why did you hand over this mission to Jordan?”

Charleston said coldly, “Jesse, you’ve been looking for Jamie for a while now, and you’ve used a lot of our resources. The various countries have also cooperated with you to mobilize their police forces to find him. But you still haven’t located Jamie’s whereabouts.

“Therefore, I want Jordan to try.”

Jesse looked extremely grim. His grandfather was clearly questioning his ability. He hadn’t managed to even locate Jamie after so long.

Jesse said, “Jamie is very cunning and familiar with our investigation methods. We were all taught by the same master and Phoenix is helping him. Unless Grandpa is willing to remove his name from the family register and prevent him from using our resources, we won’t be able to find him! One time, I sent Chimera to Turkey. Jamie was clearly there, but the director of the National Security Service lied for him!”

Charleston said indifferently, “Both of you have access to the same resources. I can’t disadvantage him just so you can do better. You have failed, don’t find excuses.”

Jesse clenched his fists, feeling extremely aggrieved. If he couldn’t capture Jamie, how could Jordan succeed?

“Jordan will never be able to do what I can’t!”
