Orlando.

It was almost midnight when Jordan returned to Rose Garden Villa.

At this time, Haileys former college cla.s.smates had all left.

To Jordans surprise, Haileys parents came over after her cla.s.smates left to help clean up.

Jordan entered and said to them, You dont actually have to clean up. I have a helper.

Sylvie hurried over and poured Jordan a gla.s.s of water.

She then said, My dear son-in-law, you must be tired after such a long day of work. Sit down and have some water.

Afterward, she pointed at the mess in the hall and said, Those servants wont know how to pack up at all. There are so many expensive ornaments here. What if they accidentally get damaged? Benedict and I dont have much to do anyway. Well just treat it as a workout.

Benedict chimed in with a deferential smile, Yes, well treat it as a workout. Its not tiring at all.

Jordan shook his head helplessly. Benedict and Sylvie had never worked out by doing household ch.o.r.es in the past three years.

Jordan didnt say anything else and instead walked further in. Hailey hugged him.

Hubby, youre home. I missed you so much.

They had only been apart for three hours, but Hailey was already acting all coquettish as she leaped into his embrace.

For a couple that was deeply in love with each other, one minute of being away from each other would feel like an eternity.

Jordan and Hailey had never been so affectionate with each other in the past.

Although they did have feelings for each other in the past, Hailey would never express her feelings for Jordan because she despised his ident.i.ty.

Things are different now. Jordan had become the president of Ace Corporation. In contrast, Hailey had become a meek, dainty woman who was so vulnerable and helpless that she couldnt unscrew a bottle cap on her own.

Jordan was elated too. He caressed Haileys hair and said, Im sorry, I was tied up with work at the office, so I couldnt accompany you to entertain your former cla.s.smates.

Hailey smiled and said, Its okay. Im actually not that close to my former college cla.s.smates. You dont have to care about them. The only friend of mine you should take seriously is Rachel!

Jordan frowned at the mention of Rachel.

Jordan used to be a live-in husband who had a low status in the family, so he didnt dare to badmouth Haileys best friend.

However, things were different now because Hailey was very obedient towards him.

Hence, Jordan spoke his mind. Hailey, I know that you and Rachel have been best friends for more than a decade and are very close to each other. However, I still hope that youll keep a distance from her.

Huh? Why? Hailey was surprised.

Jordan said, Rachel is already married, but her husband is often away on business trips, so she takes advantage of that to date other men. I dont want her to lead you astray.

Hailey said with a faint smile, Dont worry, I wont be like her. My husband is so handsome and rich, I wont bother looking at other men!

Jordan smiled helplessly. He knew that Hailey was not obsessed with younger hunks like Rachel was.

Compared to appearance, wealth and status mattered more to Hailey.

In terms of wealth and status, no one of the same age group as Jordan could pose a threat to him.

Hailey, Jordan.

Sylvie suddenly walked over again and handed them a box of folic acid tablets.

What is this? Jordan asked with puzzlement.

Sylvie smiled and said, Jordan, these are folic acid tablets. Arent you and Hailey trying for a baby now? Folic acid tablets can prevent congenital neurological disorders in newborns!

Jordan felt a little awkward. This mother-in-law of mine has been rather thoughtful in all aspects lately.

Sylvie would whip up nutritious meals for them every day for the sake of helping them increase the chances of conception.

The following day, Sylvie came over early in the morning to make breakfast for Jordan and Hailey.

Breakfast was even more sumptuous than lunch, and Sylvie even personally served Jordan his food.

Be careful. Its hot, my dear son-in-law.

Jordan said, Mom, you can just call me Jordan.

Alright, Jordan, Sylvie said, grinning widely from ear to ear.

Benedict no longer stood on ceremony either. Jordan, Grandma has appointed Hailey as the director of the Hailey Residences project and me as the deputy director. So, well both be seeing you at your office very often.

Jordan had also heard about it. As Hailey had already reconciled with him, her status in the family far exceeded that of Herman and his children.. Now, Herman was no longer valued.

Jordan said, No problem, you can come over anytime. If you have any problems, you can approach Victoria or me directly.

Hearing Jordan calling Victoria by her first name and omitting her last name, Hailey felt extremely jealous. She immediately put her cutlery down and pouted.

She said furiously, Hubby, I dont like Victoria Clarke, shes a brazen hussy, and Im scared that she might seduce you. Can you dismiss her?

Jordan knew that Hailey and Victoria had had several conflicts before.

He said, Honey, Victoria is just a pretty woman whos exceptionally competent at work. She knows more people than I do in Orlando. If I dismiss her, the company will incur major losses.

Hailey was rather displeased. Can you give me some shares as well? I also want to be the vice president of Ace Corporation!

Jordan did not answer immediately.

Hailey immediately said, Hmph, you dont love me at all. Im your lawfully wedded wife, and Im going to be the mother of your children. Yet, I dont get a single cent of your money, and youre not willing to give me a tiny amount of shares either.

Hailey was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Jordan contemplated it carefully and thought that a tiny portion of shares in the company wouldnt amount to much. She would just be a deputy president in t.i.tle anyway.

Hailey was preparing to conceive soon, and once she got pregnant, she would have to stay at home to nurse her pregnancy and wouldnt have the time to go to the office. Hence, he thought it wouldnt be a big deal to give in to her.

Hence, Jordan compromised, Alright, Ill give you a portion of shares.

Hailey immediately beamed with joy. I want a larger portion than Victoria Clarke. Just 0.01% more than her, hehe!

After breakfast, Benedict personally drove Jordan and Hailey to the Ace Corporation.

Tension built up as soon as Hailey and Victoria met!
