To think that Victoria actually rejected Jordanâs offer to attend her wedding!
Jordan already had to gather a lot of courage to decide to attend his exâs wedding. He didnât expect Victoria to not want him to be there to wish her well.
Moreover, there was a hint of xenophobia in her words. She felt that Jordan was not from the Mutant Tribe and was not qualified to enter the Immortal Lake.
This upset Jordan very much. Jordan was a rather rebellious person. The more others did not want him to do something, the more he would want to do it.
However, Jordan did not express such thoughts to Victoria.
Instead, Jordan said, âAlright, since Iâll just make things awkward with my presence, I wonât ruin your wedding. I wish you and Uncle a happy marriage and a hundred years of happiness.â
Jordan forced himself to be more magnanimous. After all, he was the one who dumped Victoria. It wouldnât be good for him to insist.
Victoria marrying his uncle might be the best outcome. After all, Randall had a noble status and was a very upright person. Moreover, he was a member of the Steele family, so Jordan was very assured.
âThank you. Iâll convey your blessings to your uncle. However, before I marry him, I really want to know why you dumped me. Now that Iâve awakened my ability at Immortal Lake, I can control peopleâs minds at will. I often think that if we didnât break up, I can be by your side to protect you. No matter where you go, I can follow you. It wonât be like before. When you were dealing with Shaun and the eight great families, I could only stay in the capital and worry about your safetyâŠâ
Jordan was very touched by Victoriaâs words.
âVictoria⊠sigh, itâs all my fault for not being magnanimous enough. If I had to choose again, I might not have done this.â
Jordan now blamed himself for being so bothered by Victoria and âWilliamâ. He was William. Victoria didnât actually sleep with another man!
Victoria said, âStop talking about this. Iâm going to be your aunt soon⊠I donât expect you to call me that the next time we meet, but I hope you can respect me as your elder. Donât⊠donât have any other thoughts about me.â
In return, Jordan said, âAlright, youâll be Uncleâs wife soon. Donât worry, I wonât be disrespectful to Uncle.â
Victoria replied, âYes, itâs very late now. Iâm hanging up.â
After hanging up, Jordan couldnât fall asleep for a long time. The thought of Victoria marrying Uncle made him feel very upset. At this moment, he had a strong desire to go to the wedding venue to stop Victoria and Randallâs wedding, just like how he stopped Victoria and Russellâs wedding back then.
However, he knew that it was impossible for him to do that.
Randall did not complain about Jordan killing his capable subordinate.
Since he was a young boy, Randall doted on him so much that he couldnât be ungrateful now.
This was also what troubled Jordan the most. If it was anyone else who dared to marry Victoria, with Jordanâs record of disrupting an exâs wedding, he would definitely not be able to resist ruining it.
Just like that, a few more days passed and it was the day before Victoria and Randallâs wedding. This morning, Jordan came to the courtyard early and sat on the rattan chair in a daze.
Lota said, âLauren, Jordan is still in a daze today. Heâs sitting in the courtyard. He woke up even earlier than before.â
Lauren replied, âSigh, tomorrow is Victoria and Randallâs wedding day. Our husband will definitely feel terrible.â
Lauren saw the changes in Jordanâs mood over the past few days and understood what he was thinking. Hence, Lauren and Lota walked to the courtyard and sat beside Jordan.
Taking out a deck of cards, Lauren said simply, âJordan, letâs play poker together.â
Lota clapped. âAlright, alright. Letâs race! Or play memory games!â
Jordan glanced at the two of them and smiled. âYou ladies go ahead and play. I want to sit for a while.â
Lauren tugged at Jordanâs arm and said, âHubby, play with us for a while. If you continue to be in a daze, Iâll be worried that youâll become senile.â
Lota agreed. âThatâs right, thatâs right. We have to use our brains often, or our minds will become dull!â
Jordan chuckled. âWhat are you talking about? How can I be dull? Iâm just⊠Alright, I wonât hide it anymore. Victoria is getting married soon so Iâm not in the mood to play games now.â
Lauren said, âWe know you are not in the mood because of Victoriaâs wedding. However, weâre really worried that your mind will become increasingly dull!â
Jordan was confused. âWorried that my mind will become dull? Worried that Iâll become senile? Lauren, are you serious? Iâm a Deity. My mental strength is extraordinary. Iâm smarter than you guys and Iâll age slower than ordinary people. How can I be like what you said?â
Lauren said seriously, âBut I really think your mind hasnât been working well in the past six months. Moreover, your memory is showing signs of decline.â
Lota nodded vigorously. âYes, yes. If you donât believe me, letâs play a memory game! Iâll place all the cards face down here. Each player will flip over two cards every turn. If the two cards match, the player gets a point. Letâs play together. I lose to Lauren every time we play this! But Jordan, I think I can beat you!â
Jordan ignored Lota. He was not in the mood to play games now.
However, Jordan couldnât help laughing when he saw how seriously Lauren questioned his mind.
âHahaha, Lauren, are you saying this on purpose to make me laugh? My memory is deteriorating? Iâm a Deity. Iâm not even 30 years old. Even if Iâm an ordinary person, itâs impossible for me to deteriorate at this age, right?â
Lauren continued seriously. âThatâs right. I donât understand why either. Perhaps itâs the aftereffects of your Mirakuru serum? Or is it because you traveled back in time?â
Jordan became serious. âWhy are you so sure that my memory has deteriorated?â
Lauren said, âDo you still remember that when Victoria just woke up, you called Helen to your room and asked her to remove the idea you planted in Victoriaâs mind?â
Jordan nodded. âI remember. I did do that back then.â
At that time, Jordan had already planned to break up with Victoria. Therefore, he wanted to remove the implanted idea so that she could leave Jordan and fall in love with someone else.
At this moment, Jordan regretted doing this!
If he hadnât done that, Victoria wouldnât be marrying Randall so quickly!
