The Abandoned Husband Dominates

Something was now going on between Marissa and Jesse. But the two of them were very good at pretending otherwise. No one noticed anything strange.

Jesse smiled. “No problem, Mrs. Howard. You were tied up in the abandoned factory for so long, and there would have been so much dust there. You should indeed wash up. Anyway, my grandfather drank last night and will wake up late today. I’ll call him in an hour.”

Marissa gave a faint smile. “Thank you.”

Lauren helped to pick up Marissa’s luggage. “Mom, I’ll help you choose your clothes.”

“Okay.”

With that, Lauren brought Marissa back to her room.

An hour later.

The Howard and Steele families gathered in the dining room.

Charleston smiled at Marissa. “Mrs. Howard, is this breakfast to your liking?”

Marissa replied politely, “Mr. Steele, you can just call me Marissa.” She looked at the dazzling array of dishes and was full of praise. “Mr. Steele, I’ve never had such a sumptuous breakfast before. The variety of dishes and the presentation are amazing. You have good taste. The display of food looks like a painting. I almost couldn’t bear to dig in.”

Lauren also smiled. “Mom, my husband’s family is very particular about style and presentation, unlike us. We will just fry an egg and eat it plain from a plate. Their chef, even if it’s just an ordinary fried egg, will add some green vegetables, fruits, or something to decorate the dish.”

Stefan nodded as well. “This is the true life of a noble. Compared to you, we’re like country bumpkins. Hehe.”

Stefan was the son of the Howard family and usually upheld the pride of his family. However, he was more than willing to be humble here because Jordan’s aunt was his goddess.
