Wendy changed her bathrobe in front of Jordan. Ignoring the surprise in his face, she took her
handbag, slammed the door and left.
Damn it. Since Jordan didn't know how to explain it, why did he even take her to the hotel? He just
wasted her time.
"That woman didn't satisfy him, so now he prefers me?", Wendy wondered.
She was furious. Ever since they got married, she had always been trying to be gentle and virtuous.
No matter why they got married at the very beginning, she was always considerate and affectionate.
They had to get along well with each other as a couple. Wendy thought she had done what she was
supposed to do. She had been a very loving wife.
But what Jordan did was beyond disappointing. He didn't even bother to provide an explanation. To say
the least, even if nothing happened between them, why didn't he reassure her?
Wendy angrily rushed out of the hotel and took a taxi to her mother's house.
She wouldn't return to the Li Mansion anymore. Not with what had just happened. Jordan must be the
one to explain that to his parents.
At the thought of this, Wendy hesitated. After all, her parents-in-law had always been very nice to her.
They had given her everything she could have asked for. As a daughter-in-law, she'd better tell them
her decision by herself.
She took out her phone from her handbag and called Angie.
At that moment, Angie was busy training new recruits. She answered the call while taking a rest.
"Hello, Wendy." Angie said gently. She really treated Wendy as her daughter. Hearing her gentle voice,
Wendy felt a bit guilty. She also felt very sad. Angie was her second mother.
But she soon calmed herself down. "Mother, I won't go back there until sometime. I'll live with my
mother for a few days."
Wendy's voice was as gentle as usual, but Angie still knew something was wrong. "What happened?
Wendy? Tell me. Please."
She asked in an anxious tone.
Wendy tried so hard to hold back her tears. "It's okay. I just want to stay with my mother for a few days.
I just miss her, I guess."
Angie decided that there must be something wrong. She was not convinced by her explanation.
Wendy's trembling voice suggested that there was definitely something going on. Where was Jordan?
"Wendy, tell me what happened. I'll try my best to help you."
Wendy bit her lower lip, hesitating. She decided not to tell Angie. It was really humiliating.
"Mother, it's okay. Don't worry. I just want to tell you this. I'll get off now. Bye and always take care."
She hurriedly hung up, her tears rolling down her cheeks.
Angie was very nice to her. She didn't want to trouble Angie anymore. She wished that she was not
mad at her. However, she just can't see Jordan now. She was still hurting. Forget it. Wait until he could
prove his innocence and give her a reasonable explanation.
Angie immediately called Jordan. He answered it after the phone rang a few times.
"Mother." In Angie's mind, Jordan was always dull and had always lacked of emotions.
Angie rolled her eyes. "Jordan, what happened to Wendy? Why is she suddenly like that? She sounded
so strange." She asked in a very serious tone. Jordan had got used to it, or else he would be scared.
As she questioned Jordan, Jordan guessed Wendy had already told her what happened. However,
Jordan thought it was good, because it could mean that Wendy had also asked Angie to help solve the
issue.
"What did she say?" While speaking to Angie, Jordan was smoothly driving to the station of the troops.
What he said further irritated Angie. "That's why I'm calling you right now. If I knew what happened, I
wouldn't have called you." She shouted in a very serious tone.
Jordan's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Wendy will say nothing about it. "It's okay. Don't worry."
He replied in a very low tone.
"She has gone to her mother's home. How can I pretend that everything is okay?" Lola and Joseph
were always cheerful, but Jordan was the different sheep. He was always in a dull mood. Angie didn't
know why.
"She has left again." Jordan patted the steering wheel in dismay. "I'll bring her back tonight." She
couldn't leave unless he agreed to it.
"Good. As a man, you have to make your wife happy. She needs you. You both need each other. I
hope you know that." Angie greatly worried about them. She loved them so much.
"I see." Jordan hung up.
He was being rude. He was always like that, anyway. Angie looked at the phone and cursed him.
After getting on to the plane, Lola turned off her phone and decided to just call Jordan when she arrive.
More than two hours later, she turned on the phone and called Jordan.
However, both he and Wendy had turned off their phones. These two were getting so difficult to deal
with...
She had no choice but to go to the hotel first. She would call them again when she was free.
Sitting in the taxi on her way to the hotel, she looked at the scenery as they quickly passed by and
recalled how happy she was with Harry last time. She wished that those moments would happen often.
In the five-star hotel arranged by the company, Lola said her name to the receptionist, took her room
card and went upstairs.
The meeting would begin at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. They had to arrive one evening in advance to
either rest or have leisure time. More importantly, that means that they were free tonight.
Putting her stuff in the presidential suite, Lola abruptly left the hotel.
The first thing she needed to do was to visit Nicole. Her daughter was always her first priority.
It was Sunday today. Lola called Mrs. Du in a hesitant tone and asked about Nicole.
Harry usually took care of Nicole every weekend, but he suddenly sent Nicole back to the mansion this
afternoon.
Nicole was having fun with Mrs. Du in the manor. Lola took a taxi to the manor, and Tom opened the
door for her.
Nicole was paddling a boat in the man-made lake built by Harry.
Looking at her little girl in the orange skirt not far away, Lola felt very sad and remorseful.
She recalled the scene when Nicole began to babble and call her "mommy". Those were really happy
and memorable times. Tears started rolling down her cheeks.
"Nicole." She wiped off her tears and approached the lake.
Seeing Lola, Mrs. Du took the long bamboo pole to pull Nicole's boat back to the shore.
"Mommy!" Nicole shouted happily. She hadn't seen her mommy for a long time. It was so obvious that
she has missed her so much.
Harry always assured her that her mommy would soon be with them although she was just busy
working so that they could have money.
Nicole walked down the steps. Lola gave her a big hug and kissed her on the cheeks.
Mrs. Du had mixed feelings when she saw how they loved each other. She quietly left, leaving Lola and
Nicole alone.
"Mommy, I miss you. Where have you been?" With her head against Lola's shoulder, Nicole cuddled
Lola's neck tightly, enjoying the smell of Lola.
Lola burst into tears with excitement but thought that she shouldn't cry in front of Nicole.
She wiped off the tears and said in a hoarse voice, "I also miss you. Are you happy with your daddy?
Are you having a good time here?"
Nicole nodded. "Yes." Her daddy was like a super hero to her. He dined, slept and had fun with her and
told stories to her every day. Moreover, he would give her whatever she wanted. Nicole was well-taken
care of here. Maybe it's for the better that she stay here...
