“Sigh.”
A sigh left Jordan’s lips. “Victoria, you really love Jordan deeply. The love between the two of you is very noble. In order not to let him be hurt, you’re willing to step aside and support Jordan and Lauren. When Jordan finds out, he will definitely be very touched and will love you even more.”
Victoria asked him, “William, didn’t you say that Jordan and I would definitely be together? But what about now? The woman with him isn’t me! It’s Lauren! William, you were wrong. It’s impossible between Jordan and me…”
Seeing that Victoria seemed to have lost confidence in the future of their relationship, Jordan quickly comforted her.
“Victoria, don’t be disheartened. I’ve said before that there will be many twists and turns in your relationship. This is just one of them. You will definitely be happy together in the end. Believe me.”
Victoria sneered. “Be happy together? Tell me, how can Jordan and I be happy together? Jordan is already married to Lauren. She is prettier than me, younger and has a better family background. More importantly, she already has a daughter with Jordan! Lauren is so eligible, and Jordan is the only man she has ever had in her life. How can I compare to her…”
At this point, Victoria recalled her past with Russell.
The three years she spent as Russell’s kept woman had always made Victoria feel guilty towards Jordan. This made her unable to straighten her back and compare herself to Lauren.
In fact, she felt that even Hailey was better than her in this aspect…
“Victoria, don’t be like this.”
Jordan patted Victoria’s shoulder.
Victoria said sadly, “William, don’t you know how to read fortunes? Help me divine if Jordan will divorce Lauren in the future?”
Jordan was stunned. He had been prepared to soothe her doubts and comfort her, but had no idea how to answer this question…
Ever since Jordan and Lauren had gotten married, they had never considered divorce. The two of them had always been very loving. Moreover, Jordan had already let Lauren and her daughter down for three years. He couldn’t stand the thought of hurting her again.
Seeing that Jordan was silent, Victoria sneered. “Hmph, it’s as I guessed. Even you don’t think Jordan would divorce Lauren, right?
“That’s right. Why would he get a divorce? Lauren’s qualities are so good, a hundred times better than mine. He owes her three years as well. How can he bear to abandon her again? I know Jordan too well. He and Lauren will definitely be in love for a hundred years. There’s already no hope between Jordan and me.”
Jordan didn’t want to lie to her and claim that Jordan and Lauren would definitely get a divorce. But he also didn’t want to tell her that she could be Jordan’s second wife. This was a little disrespectful to an independent woman like Victoria.
Instead, he crouched in front of Victoria and comforted her. “Victoria, don’t be so pessimistic. No one can predict the future. Lauren is indeed a good woman, but Jordan didn’t marry her because he has feelings for her. He married her because he wanted to track down your whereabouts. He did it for you!”
No one understood that marriage better than Jordan himself.
Although Jordan owed Lauren those three years, Victoria’s whereabouts were unknown at that time. Jordan thought that it was the Howard family who had her stashed away.
In order to find Victoria’s whereabouts, Jordan married Lauren. Of course, after they got married, as their relationship slowly developed, Jordan gradually fell in love with Lauren.
Victoria suddenly shouted, “So what if it’s for me?! I’m in the capital, but I can’t tell him! Why is love so hard?! Please go outside. I want to be alone…”
Jordan slowly got up. “Alright, you should rest first. I’ll be in the room next door. Call me if you need anything.”
Jordan saw tears welling up in Victoria’s eyes. Perhaps she needed to cry to vent the sadness in her heart.
Jordan could understand Victoria’s current feelings all too well. When Victoria and Russell were getting married, Jordan had felt the same way!
A few hours passed quickly. At 11 PM, Victoria knocked on Jordan’s door.
Knock knock!
Jordan opened the door and saw a haggard-looking Victoria.
Victoria said sadly, “William, can you have a drink with me? I want to drink.”
Jordan immediately nodded. “Alright, come in and drink in my room.”
Jordan had booked the most luxurious suite. There was wine and food in the room. From Victoria’s face, it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time. Jordan’s heart ached for her.
Therefore, Jordan took out a box of medicine from his time-travel backpack and said to Victoria, “I have an eye cream here. After applying it, it will greatly improve the skin around the eyes. You must have cried very hard just now. You look exhausted, and my heart aches when I see you like this. Why don’t I apply some for you?”
This eye cream was not sold on the open market. Only noble ladies from secret families were qualified to use it.
Of course, Jordan only gave the best things to his women.
“Okay.”
Victoria didn’t refuse.
Jordan personally applied eye cream on Victoria.
As Jordan did this, Victoria’s heart became especially calm.
She stared at “William” in a daze. She was surprised that this man could make her temporarily forget the pain of knowing that Jordan was married.
Over the years, not many men could make Victoria feel this way.
After applying the eye cream, Victoria once again became perfect and lovely. Coupled with the sportswear she was wearing, she looked youthful and beautiful.
Victoria drank a glass of red wine and said, “William, do you know why I came to the capital to see Jordan’s wedding?”
Jordan said, “You wanted to see him from afar? To see what he is like during his own wedding?”
Victoria shook her head. “I came to give him a gift. I gave him back the pair of colored diamonds he gave me because I wanted to forget about him and end things with him completely.”
“End it completely?” Jordan was shocked.
Only then did he know what Victoria meant by giving him that wedding gift.
Victoria said, “It’s impossible between Jordan and I. Although we still love each other, he has a new woman now. It’s time for me to let go.”
“Victoria…”
Jordan didn’t know what to say.
Victoria smiled and looked at the time. “William, what do you think Jordan and Lauren are doing now?”
Of course Jordan knew what they were doing! It was Jordan and Lauren’s wedding night!
Jordan still couldn’t forget what happened that night…
