“Are you still interested to be together with Jolene?” Jeffery thought Jayden was crazy about the woman. “Where has your sanity gone?”
Jeffery felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Was he going to give up his family for this woman?
“You are not a guy who is not responsible and would get to another woman. Why does this lady appear to be so captivating to you? ” Jeffery hissed.
He had the impression that Jayden had been enchanted by this woman and now he was neither rational nor calm anymore.
He couldn’t be impetuous. If he made a big deal out of it, Jolene would be devastated when she found out.
“You calm down. We will discuss it in two days. But please do not let Jolene know this first, she is now weak. For the sake of your newborn kid, please stay calm,” he said.
Jeffery walked out of the ward after saying that. In fact, he went out was not to calm down, but to send someone to investigate Victoria.
How can he be calm when his only sister’s husband cheated on her when she was in the confinement month?
How dare she steal his sister’s husband!
Victoria held tight on the bed sheet as she could deduce his identity from Jeffery’s statements. She peered anxiously at Jayden, “What now?”
“This is a good opportunity to divorce Jolene,” Jayden said calmly to Victoria.
Then he would marry her.
“By doing so, we will not offend any of the two families…”
“I don’t care,” Jayden said as he moved his lips, “But we had a child involved, it is not likely we will become enemies. At most, there would be a grudge against me.”
Victoria pursed his lips as she didn’t know what to say when things ended up like this.
“I’m afraid it’s no longer safe here. I’ll find you a new place to live. ” Jayden was also concerned that Jeffery would bother her.
Jolene was a wonderful girl and her brother should not be so evil that endangered people’s lives. “He is powerful, but he wouldn’t actually kill me…”
“He and Jolene get along well, and now that he misidentifies you as my mistress, he’ll undoubtedly turn against you for his sister.” Jayden was aware of the strong bonds between Jeffery and Jolene.
They were the only two siblings in the Harris family, it was normal that they had strong bonds.
“You rest first, do not catch cold. He just went and should not come back. I’m going to find Jolene and discuss divorce. Don’t worry about that, the child is in good state and you will see him soon,” he said as he walked to cover her with the blanket.
“Be careful,” Victoria said as she nodded. “He seems like can do kung fu.”
“I’m serving in the army and looked frightening. He won’t actually do anything to me, and anyhow, I’m not so stupid that I wouldn’t fight back if he hurt me. ” “You just sleep. I’ll settle all the things,” Jayden patted her.
Victoria nodded.
Jayden closed the ward door and returned. Mrs. Harris also left. There was only a maid who took care for Jolene while the baby was sleeping in the crib. The baby at this stage, beside eating and excreting, he will just spend the rest of the time sleeping.
Jolene saw his troubled expression and inquired, “What’s up with you. You looked upset, is there something wrong with Victoria?”
Jayden let the maid go, and when she did, he turned to Jolene and said, “Your brother found out about Victoria and assumed she was my mistress. He was extremely angry about that.”
“He didn’t hurt her, did he?” Jolene sat up as she was startled.
She knew her brother was quick-tempered and care for her so much, so he would undoubtedly be furious with Victoria and might hurt her.
” He didn’t do anything to her, but the truth behind her existence cannot be concealed.”
Jolene breathed a sigh of relief. It was great to hear that nothing actually happened. If Jeffery did something she would feel guilty towards Victoria. Although at the time she promised her to become Jayden’s wife for the money and give birth to the child, she knew that she had no choice. After getting along with her for nearly a year, she understood her a little and knew that she was actually a good woman.
“What exactly do you want to do?” Jolene could tell Jayden was about to say something.
“Let’s take advantage of this chance and divorce.”
Jolene naturally desires a divorce, but she still had some concerns, “This is not fair to you.”
After all, if he cheats, he would be considered as the party at fault, and the family would undoubtedly blame him then.
“Things end up like this, there is no turning back. With the existence of this child, they couldn’t do anything to me even if they are angry at me,” he said.
Even the Harris family was upset because he made a mistake, but this child was his and Jolene’s, so even if the Harris family was irritated, they couldn’t really do much about it.
Jolene had no other better idea of how to settle it after some thought and said, “Ok. But so sorry that it might be a bit unfair to you.”
“It’s ok. Don’t blame yourself for that,” Jayden was really calm right now. It was actually a good thing that he could actually end all this mess.
Divorce Jolene and married Victoria. The child was theirs and they may take good care of the kid together as he grew.
“You have a plan, then just carry it out.” “It’s his blessing to have a mother at his side,” Jolene said as she took a long breath and looked at the cot.
Mother’s companionship instead of social status was the most important thing for a kid.
Jolene was ready to phone home after dealing with Jolene. The door of the ward was forced open and Jeffery went in.
He pretended there was nothing wrong and asked Jayden, “You didn’t say anything in front of Jolene, did you?”
He didn’t want Jolene to know that Jayden had another woman.
“What brings you here, brother?”
Jolene’s heart raced a bit and she went down to take the infant in her arms as she worried that he would find out something and might hurt the baby.
But, in Jeffery’s opinion, her action was a reflection of her love for her kid. Despite her discomfort, she still wanted to be kind to her child.
“I have something to say to you, come out with me,” he said to Jayden.
“Say it here if you have anything to say.” Jolene suspected that Jeffery pretended to be calm and wondered if he would hurt Jayden as he asked him to go out.
“Women can’t listen in on men’s conversations.” “What, can’t even I talk to your spouse for a while?”
Jeffery asked his sister as he glanced at her.
“No, brother,” she said.
“I just have a word with him, stay here.” Jeffery padded on his sister’s shoulder.
But she was still unsettled about it.
“It’s okay, he probably has something serious to say to me. He just doesn’t want you to listen and get to worry,” Jayden reassured her.
“However…”
“Enough.” Jeffery was getting impatient and interrupted Jolene.
“I’ll be outside the ward waiting for you.” Jeffery walked out of the ward after saying that.
“Don’t be worried.” After saying a few words, Jayden followed him out. At the time he wondered what Jeffery had to say to him.
Jeffery took the lead as the two proceeded to the end of the corridor and went to the silent staircase.
“Did you tell Jolene?”
Jayden answered no as he shook his head.
“That’s wonderful. They still need to stay happily together for the sake of the child. ” Jeffery was no longer as irritated as he had been earlier, and he was now calm.
“I investigated that woman.” “She is not people from B city but from Podon. She is just a woman from a small town who doesn’t deserve your attention. Just stay happily with my sister,” Jeffery leaned against the wall.
Jayden scowled and said with his icy voice. “Did you investigate her?”
“Just an ordinary woman. She is a good-looking and not from a poor family. But just face difficulties and you paid her to be your lover. Nothing more than that.”
The investigators were unable to determine whether the person who provided Victoria money was a man or a woman. They simply told him that Victoria got some money and travelled to B city.
Jeffery must had assumed that the money had been supplied to her by Jayden.
As he could see, their relationship …
He was not surprised to see an affluent man to have affairs with women. But this lady cannot stay around him for the benefit of the two families, or for the happiness of his sister.
Jayden narrowed his eyes and felt that something was wrong as Jeffery was too calm.
“What exactly did you do to her?”
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but please treat my sister nicely…”
Jayden went out swiftly before Jeffery completed his sentence. As he pushed open the door of Victoria’s ward, it was empty and devoid of anyone.
“Did you do something to her?” He asked Jeffery, who had followed him.
Jeffery walked over and glanced around the empty room. He stretched his hands and murmured, “Where has she gone? How do I know?”
“You didn’t hide the person and then come back and claim I kidnapped her, right?” He asked Jayden.
Jeffery would never admit that he kidnapped Victoria.
“Tell me, what did you do to her?” Jayden lost control and grabbed Jeffery’s collar.
“Jayden, what evidence do you have that I kidnapped her? Also, who knows whether you were the one who hid her to protect her and claimed that I had kidnapped her?”
“Maybe she fled herself. I didn’t catch her anyhow. I don’t have that kind of time,” Jeffery pushed him away.
Jayden stared at him and stepped inside the home. The only place to hide people in this small room was in the toilet, but there was no one inside. There was no trace of a fight in the home, there was no trace of struggle on the bed, with all this, they could that Victoria may not have been forcefully carried away.
But where was she?
