Chapter 412: Secretly Checking Lauren’s Cell Phone!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Indeed, as many would say, the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceitful she is! Jordan’s ex-wife, Hailey was such a woman, and it seemed that Lauren was as well!
Yet, Jordan had always felt sorry for Lauren. He even slept with her out of sympathy for her and guilt that he had deprived her of a normal life. However, now he had found out today that Lauren had slept with another man in the last few years!
She had been living freely with joy!
!!
Jordan clenched his fist. He was still in love with Victoria and did not want to become too intimate with Lauren. It wasn’t easy for Jordan to let his guard down and yet, this was what he got!
As he puffed on a cigarette in Jesse’s room, Jordan tried to ease his mood. Soon after, he took the elevator downstairs together with Jesse to the restaurant for the breakfast buffet.
At this moment, Lauren and Yumi were sitting face to face, smiling at each other while eating with knives and forks in both hands. Both of them had the aura of a n.o.ble G.o.ddess, especially Lauren who was more youthful.
Lauren had her hair tied back and her tiny face was round. She looked perfect from every angle.
There was a woman who had the same hairstyle as Lauren, seated at the table beside theirs. However, her face was large and squarish. The more one compared, the more beautiful Lauren seemed.
Seeing Jordan and Jesse walking over, Lauren smiled.
“Honey, you’re back? I’ve already picked up a selection of things for your breakfast. See if you like what I’ve chosen and if there’s anything else you need, I’ll get it for you.”
Lauren looked at Jordan gently and meticulously. If it were in the past, Jordan would have felt blissful to have such a wife. However, Jordan now felt that this was all just Lauren’s disguise!
Of course, although Jesse told Jordan about Lauren’s past, Jordan didn’t turn his back on her immediately. He pretended to be the same as before and said smilingly, “It’s fine, I’ll just have this. Thanks.”
In response, Lauren said to Jordan shyly, “You’re my husband. It’s only right that I help you get some food. Why are you being so polite with me? Oh yes, Yumi just told me that she and Jesse are going back to England in the evening.”
Jordan nodded and said, “Yeah, Jesse also told me about it just now.”
Lauren suddenly suggested, “Why don’t we go back to England with Jesse and Yumi? We could treat it as a honeymoon?”
‘It seems like Lauren is so eager to go to England to see Grandpa!’
When Jordan thought of what Jesse had just said about Lauren marrying him only for the sake of using him to find out his family’s secrets, he humphed coldly.
‘Hmph, Lauren Howard, I bet you’re just using the honeymoon as an excuse to find out my family’s secrets, huh?’
Yumi was elated too. “Yeah, Jordan, why don’t you go back with us? You have to go on a honeymoon.”
Jordan could tell that Yumi seemed to like Lauren a lot, so he guessed that Jesse probably did not tell her about Lauren.
“We’ll go another time. Grandpa hasn’t been in good health lately.”
“Alright.”
Lauren did not throw a tantrum and instead, respected Jordan’s opinion.
…
In the evening, Jordan and Lauren, as well as Lauren’s father, Stefan, personally went to the airport to see Jesse and Yumi off.
Before leaving, Jesse and Jordan hugged each other for a while, and Jesse said to Jordan, “Think about what I said to you.”
“I will, Jesse.”
Jesse had told Jordan to divorce Lauren and leave the Howards.
However, Jordan didn’t want to divorce her so quickly. They had only just gotten married after all. First, he wanted to find some evidence to prove that Lauren was a vile woman!
Once he found the incriminating evidence, when he exposed her true colors, she wouldn’t be able to deny or argue with him.
When he got home, Chloe was already asleep. Chloe had a habit of holding a golden silk cloth in her hand when sleeping. Perhaps it was for a sense of security.
Looking at how adorable Chloe was when she was sleeping, Jordan had other thoughts in mind.
‘Lauren Howard, you lied to me and said that I’m the only man you’ve ever loved but I can ignore that. I couldn’t care less about whether or not you’ve slept with Dr. Gale or not, and how many times you’ve done it with him. But if you’re using Chloe to deceive me, you’d have gone overboard!’
Ever since Jesse exposed Lauren’s true nature to him, Jordan had begun to get worried. Now he couldn’t help but wonder if Chloe was his daughter or not!
Indeed, Jordan and Chloe had gone for a paternity test, and the test results also showed that he was indeed Chloe’s father. However, what if the Howards had already paid off the paternity test center?
They were in DC, the Howards’ turf. Given their power, they were completely capable of doing this!
Moreover, Jordan did not investigate the staff of the paternity test center and did not dare to guarantee that they were not threatened or bribed.
“Honey, it’s very late. Let’s go to bed.”
Lauren had already finished was.h.i.+ng up and came over to look for Jordan.
“Oh, okay.”
Jordan quietly returned to the room with Lauren without revealing any flaws. Like the past few days, they got intimate before sleeping.
At 3 am, Jordan carefully listened to Lauren’s breathing and started to make a move only after confirming that Lauren was asleep.
Indeed, he planned to look through Lauren’s phone while she was asleep! Jordan never had the habit of snooping and he had never done so when he was married to Hailey either.
Neither had he done it to Victoria.
Everyone was ent.i.tled to their privacy and a relations.h.i.+p without mutual trust is bound not to last long. However, Lauren had disguised her true colors too well. Despite being well-versed in psychology and reading micro-expressions, he still couldn’t tell how evil Lauren really was.
Hence, he could only secretly check her phone.
Lauren had placed her phone on the other side of her pillow, and Jordan stretched out his arm to grab her phone.
Since he would need her fingerprint or face to unlock her phone, Jordan carefully grabbed her right hand again and unlocked it with her thumbprint.
The moment her phone was unlocked, it let out a sound because Lauren had set it to ring when she unlocked it.
Jordan hurriedly held his breath and looked at Lauren.
Fortunately, Lauren was exhausted and thus, was sleeping soundly. She wasn’t woken up by the sound at all.
Jordan let out a long sigh.
It was Jordan’s first time behaving so sneakily so he was extremely nervous.
After unlocking the screen, Jordan immediately clicked on her messages. He believed he would be able to find out a lot of her secrets.
If Lauren and Matt had an affair, there must be clues in their text message conversation!
Gulp…
Swallowing some saliva, Jordan took a few moments to steel himself. He could hardly dare to look at the screen.
What if he saw some unsightly conversation or video!?!
