Jordan and Lauren hadnt gone on a honeymoon after they got married. Besides, Jordan wanted to take the chance to make it up to her since it was her birthday tomorrow.

However, Lauren refuted, Ive already promised my high school cla.s.smates that Ill be meeting them for our reunion tomorrow.

Cla.s.smates gathering?

It was actually scheduled on Laurens birthday too.

Oh. Since Lauren had already promised them, there was nothing he could say.

Which restaurant did they book?

Lauren replied, Soph.o.m.ore, a campus-themed restaurant.

Jordan nodded and said, Okay, go to the cla.s.smates reunion then.

Jordan was slightly disappointed. Lauren actually promised her cla.s.smates to attend a reunion on such an important day. She must have agreed to it when Jordan was giving her the cold shoulder in the last two days.

Otherwise, given how much Lauren loved Jordan, she definitely wouldnt have given her time on such an important day to her high school cla.s.smates who werent very close to her.

Afterward, Jordan ordered Salvatore to send a grand piano to the restaurant named Soph.o.m.ore by tomorrow afternoon. He intended to attend Laurens cla.s.smates party and give her a surprise!

Since Jordan was her husband, he had to be there on such an important day like her birthday!

At 6 pm the following day, Lauren appeared at the Soph.o.m.ore restaurant, dressed in a simple jacket and a pair of jeans.

It was a campus-themed restaurant and wasnt exactly an upscale place. Besides, it was a cla.s.smates reunion today, so Lauren wasnt wearing a skirt or stilettos. Instead, she was dressed in very ordinary clothes.

However, Lauren was beautiful and even if she was dressed ordinarily, she could still make many heads turn.

Having long gotten used to getting admiring looks over the past two decades, Lauren did not take it seriously at all. However, she didnt expect to see that everyone seemed to be staring at a woman in front of her and not her when she walked into the restaurant.

Lauren looked at the girl in front of her in surprise. She had a good temperament and figure. Although it wasnt as good as hers, she was considered a beauty.

Besides, that girl was extremely young. She was at least four or five years younger than Lauren.

Is it because Im old and I cant compare to young girls?

Lauren felt that everyone was looking at the girl in front of her instead of herself. Hence, she thought that she was getting old. After all, girls who were born in the 2000s were already adults now.

They had already gone through p.u.b.erty too. After putting on makeup, she had the charm of a mature woman, as well as the unique pureness and collagen of a young woman. Her skin complexion was so good that a woman who was almost 30 years old wouldnt be able to compare to her at all.

Lauren paid a lot of attention to her beauty and the maintenance of her youth. Like other beautiful women, she was naturally afraid of aging. However, after taking a closer look at the eyes and comments of the pa.s.sers-by, Lauren felt that they werent purely admiring a beautiful woman.

The girl in front of Lauren seemed to be a celebrity!

Look, isnt that the idol, Maggie!?!

Who is Maggie? Is she a singer or an actress? What works is she famous for?

Shes the one who was exposed by the tabloids after being caught having car s.e.x with a wealthy scion in New York City!

Oh, I remember! That scion seems to be from the Huxleys of New York.

Wasnt the matter clarified afterward? Maggie is a victim herself. She was deceived by that second-generation heir, Cayden Huxley.

Oh, in my opinion, shes not a victim. Why didnt she get deceived by me? At the end of the day, shes just greedy for money!

Keep your voice down, dont let others overhear you!

Lauren slowed down and as she heard the sounds of discussion coming from the crowd around her, she finally learned that the girl in front of her was Maggie, a popular idol.

At this age, Lauren had long stopped idolizing celebrities and had never heard of Maggie, especially since Maggie was much younger.

Soon, the two walked to their respective private rooms.

When Lauren entered the room, the other students in the room had all arrived.

This time, there were only ten people including Lauren, who would be attending the reunion because not all her cla.s.smates were invited.

Lauren attended an ordinary high school but her cla.s.smates family backgrounds were not comparable to the Howards though they were affluent.

It could be said that in their eyes, Lauren was a princess who was high up in the air and whom they had to suck up to. Those cla.s.smates who were attending the reunion were the ones she was closer to and the boys parents were government officials who had been doing well as of late.

In other words, no one else would dare to invite Miss Howard.

In fact, although Lauren was a little cold and aloof, she treated her cla.s.smates equally. She didnt look down on her cla.s.smates and think that she was superior to them, just because she came from a powerful family.

Hey, our cla.s.s belle is here. Everyone, stand up to welcome her!

A bespectacled man was the first to get up and clap his hands.

It was Colton, the cla.s.s president back in the schooling days.

The rest of Laurens cla.s.smates stood up to greet her.

Lauren was a little embarra.s.sed and shy. Hey, were all cla.s.smates, dont act like this. Youre making me awkward.

Lauren looked at the private room and realized that the tables werent like the usual dining tables in restaurants. Rather, they were like school cla.s.sroom desks.

Since it was a campus-themed cla.s.sroom where cla.s.smates reunions were usually held, the decor was meant to make patrons reminisce about their schooling days.

The private room was large and there was a piano inside.

Lauren, long time no see.

Lauren, youve become even more beautiful!

Laurens female cla.s.smates greeted her affectionately.

One of the female students who was close to Lauren, asked, Lauren, did you not bring the necklace and earrings your husband gave you?

You guys didnt attend Laurens wedding so you probably dont know that her husband gave her the most expensive necklace and diamond earrings in the world!

A few male students made some snide remarks.

No, I heard that Laurens husband is a live-in husband. Isnt he?

Yeah, I heard that Laurens husband is penniless and jobless. He doesnt even have a house in DC and hes still living in Laurens home now.

Lauren didnt invite her male cla.s.smates to her wedding and only the two female ones who were present now were invited. Hence, many people werent clear of her situation and only knew that she had gotten married.

Colton had a complicated look on his face and his eyes were full of excitement when he looked at Lauren. He clearly didnt only treat her as a cla.s.smate.

Lauren, what does your husband do? Tell us about it. Did the most expensive necklace and earrings in the world really belong to him?

It was obvious Colton was extremely curious about Laurens husband!
