My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 98

Orlando.

It was almost midnight when Jordan returned to Rose Garden Villa.

At this time, Hailey's former college classmates had all left.

To Jordan's surprise, Hailey's parents came over after her classmates left to help clean up.

Jordan entered and said to them, "You don't actually have to clean up. I have a helper."

Sylvie hurried over and poured Jordan a glass of water.

She then said, "My dear son-in-law, you must be tired after such a long day of work. Sit down and have some water."

Afterward, she pointed at the mess in the hall and said, "Those servants won't know how to pack up at all. There are so many expensive ornaments here. What if they accidentally get damaged? Benedict and I don't have much to do anyway. We'll just treat it as a workout."

Benedict chimed in with a deferential smile, "Yes, we'll treat it as a workout. It's not tiring at all."

Jordan shook his head helplessly. Benedict and Sylvie had never "worked out" by doing household chores in the past three years.

Jordan didn't say anything else and instead walked further in. Hailey hugged him.

"Hubby, you're home. I missed you so much."

They had only been apart for three hours, but Hailey was already acting all coquettish as she leaped into his embrace.

For a couple that was deeply in love with each other, one minute of being away from each other would feel like an eternity.

Jordan and Hailey had never been so affectionate with each other in the past.

Although they did have feelings for each other in the past, Hailey would never express her feelings for Jordan because she despised his identity.

Things are different now. Jordan had become the president of Ace Corporation. In contrast, Hailey had become a meek, dainty woman who was so vulnerable and helpless that she couldn't unscrew a bottle cap on her own.

Jordan was elated too. He caressed Hailey's hair and said, "I'm sorry, I was tied up with work at the office, so I couldn't accompany you to entertain your former classmates."

Hailey smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm actually not that close to my former college classmates. You don't have to care about them. The only friend of mine you should take seriously is Rachel!"

Jordan frowned at the mention of Rachel.

Jordan used to be a live-in husband who had a low status in the family, so he didn't dare to badmouth Hailey's best friend.

However, things were different now because Hailey was very obedient towards him.

Hence, Jordan spoke his mind. "Hailey, I know that you and Rachel have been best friends for more than a decade and are very close to each other. However, I still hope that you'll keep a distance from her."

"Huh? Why?" Hailey was surprised.

Jordan said, "Rachel is already married, but her husband is often away on business trips, so she takes advantage of that to date other men. I don't want her to lead you astray."

Hailey said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, I won't be like her. My husband is so handsome and rich, I won't bother looking at other men!"

Jordan smiled helplessly. He knew that Hailey was not obsessed with younger hunks like Rachel was.

Compared to appearance, wealth and status mattered more to Hailey.

In terms of wealth and status, no one of the same age group as Jordan could pose a threat to him.
