My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 90

"No, no! Not like the way we used to be! We have to be very affectionate with each other!"

Hailey burst into tears, knowing that she had said something wrong that reminded Jordan of how she had mistreated him in the past.

Jordan laughed and said, "I don't think there's a need for that. We can just tell her that we're not divorced."

Jordan was definitely in approval of the suggestion that they pretend to still be married. In fact, he might have suggested it even if she didn't.

The reason being Lily had always hoped for them to remain happily married for the rest of their lives. Now that she was on her deathbed, she would definitely die miserably if she learned that they had divorced.

After all, Lily was Jordan's life-saving benefactor, so he definitely couldn't bear to let her die in sadness.

Hailey explained, "There's definitely a need for that!

Grandma said that Grandaunt Lily had learned of your identity a long time ago and is also aware of the deal between the Steeles and the Camdens."

"Now, the three-year period is up, and you've already told me about your identity. If we're still not divorced, I definitely won't treat you the same way I used to in the past. We must be very affectionate with each other!"

Jordan was shocked. "Grandaunt Lily is aware of my identity too?"

After thinking about it, he believed that Diana's guess made sense.

As a live-in husband, he had to face the mockery of everyone, but Grandaunt Lily was particularly friendly to him.

'Perhaps, Grandaunt Lily also knows about the truth like her brother does!'

Jordan let out a long sigh. No matter what, Grandaunt Lily was a kind person who was nice to everyone and not just Jordan.

Even if she was really nice to Jordan only because she knew his identity, he still had to repay her for his kindness.

Jordan paused for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree. You can do whatever you want then."

Since old Lily was about to die, Jordan had no choice but to put on an act.

"Yes, yes." Hailey was overjoyed. "Jor... Hubby, from now on, I will call you Hubby, lest Grandaunt Lily suspects something if she hears me call you by your name instead."

Jordan answered coldly, "Do whatever you want."

It was all just to pretend anyway. Even if Hailey called him 'Hubby' he wouldn't treat Hailey as his wife again!

Hailey said softly, "Hubby, when will you be free? Grandma said that it'll be best if we set off in the morning to arrive early. Otherwise, we won't make it in time to see Grandaunt Lily for the last time!"

Jordan didn't have anything important on his schedule either. He wanted to thank her for the favor she had done him previously. Hence, he said, "We can set off immediately."

It was now 8:46 PM, and it would take more than an hour to get to South Daytona. If they set off now, they would make it in time to sleep there for the night.

Hailey was overjoyed. "Okay, well, since we're not divorced, I have to ride in your Maybach to show off. and to make sure that Grandaunt Lily doesn't suspect anything."

Hailey was bent on riding in Jordan's Maybach.

Jordan did not decline either. "Alright."

Hailey continued, "Thank you, Hubby! Also, does Butler Frank have a Rolls Royce? Grandma said she wants to travel in that one."

Jordan thought to himself, 'The Camdens are really so vain and materialistic. Now that they're going to see a relative who's on her deathbed, they still have to put on such a pompous front.'
