The Abandoned Husband Dominates

Marissa hung up angrily.

Exasperated, Jordan returned the phone to Lauren and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Honey. I’m not trying to be difficult with your mother. It’s not that I don’t want to let her sit in the carriage. It’s just that…”

Lauren cut in, “I understand, Hubby. Mom’s request is too overboard. Once the golden carriage is mobilized, it will definitely cause a commotion on many levels. I know your family has always been very low-profile. Yesterday, when we rode the golden carriage, they had to seal the roads and get the royal guards to protect me. I was quite embarrassed.”

Jordan nodded. He was very happy that his wife was a reasonable person. If it was another woman, she might have argued with her husband and said nasty things.

“Actually, yesterday was the first time our family’s golden carriage was driven through the London city area. My grandfather and others in the family have never done that before.”

Lauren covered her mouth in surprise. “Even Brother Jesse and Sister Yumi have never ridden it in the city before?”.

Jordan shook his head.

Lauren couldn’t believe it. “Will Sister Yumi blame me for being frivolous? Will she hate me because of this?”

They were both daughters-in-law of the Steele family. Lauren had come here for the first time and already used the family’s golden carriage on her first day.

Yumi was the wife of the eldest son and she had never used it even though she had been married into the Steele family for several years. Lauren felt that Yumi might be upset with her because of this, and was becoming increasingly anxious. She cared a lot about her relationship with the Steele family members.

Jordan smiled. “No, she won’t. My brother and sister-in-law treat me very well. They won’t be upset because of that. Don’t worry.”

At Heathrow Airport, London. “That useless son-in-law! I’m so angry! How did I end up with such a stingy son-in-law?!” Marissa was still scolding Jordan after hanging up. Her friend asked, “Marissa, what’s going on? Is it inconvenient for Jordan to pick us up? We can take a taxi there ourselves.”

Marissa smiled awkwardly. “I’m really sorry to have made a fool of myself. My son-in-law is too outrageous! I’ll take you to the hotel. We can go to the casino!”
