Jordan didn’t bother to pick up the bracelet.

“I won’t take back something that I’ve already given away. Besides, I don’t want to have freeloaded off of the Camdens for the past three years.”

The Camdens had been providing for Jordan for the past three years, and he didn’t want to be called a freeloader.

Diana nodded and took the bracelet back.

She had always been very fond of the bracelet. Since she learned yesterday that it was really a gift from Jordan, she happily went to sleep with it.

While carrying Lucky in his arms, Jordan said, “I’ll take my leave now if there’s nothing else.”

“Wait a minute.” Hailey called out to Jordan and said, “I’d like to have a word with you alone. It won’t take you long.”

Sylvie walked over and said, “Yeah, Jordan, you’ve been here for less than a minute. Don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”

Diana also pleaded on behalf of Hailey, “You two have been married for three years after all. If you disagree, Hailey will get on her knees and beg you again.”

Jordan looked at Hailey’s reddened kneecaps. He really didn’t want to see her kneeling down again.

“Alright then.”

Hailey could not take the stairs, so Jordan accompanied her to take the elevator to a room on the second floor.

As soon as Jordan entered the room, he discovered that it had been decorated meticulously. The decor and style seemed similar to Hailey’s room in the apartment in the New City residential estate.

In a trance, Jordan thought he had returned to the home he had lived in for the past three years.

“Jordan, there isn’t a stool in this room. Let’s sit on the bed and talk.”

Hailey took the lead and sat on the bed.

Jordan decided not to sit beside her and instead said, “I’ll just stand.”

Hailey did not force him either and merely hung her head low with her knees together, rubbing her hands like a shy high school girl.

Her voice was also extremely gentle.

“Um, thank you for yesterday.”
