Michael was still holding Jordanโs hand.
โMommy!โ
Since Jordan got hurt, Jessica hadnโt seen her for a long time. She didnโt expect Michael to actually bring the child along. Perhaps he thought he couldnโt get much from Jessica, so he wanted to show off by bringing the child.
โWhy did you bring Jordan?โ Jessica stepped aside.
After all, she was still a child, and her physical condition was quite good. After the car accident, Jordan had recovered well, but the nanny said Jordanโs temper was getting worse every day. She would get angry even if something was taken by mistake, and sometimes even throw things to the floor.
Michael didnโt pay much attention to Jordanโs upbringing. All he would do was bring Jordan with him whenever he needed to compete for favor. It did no good to Jordanโs upbringing.
โJordan hasnโt seen you for a long time. She said she missed you. She originally wanted to call you to spend the New Year together. She also wanted to be with you, but since you have to go home to keep Linda company, I didnโt want to waste your time. Some business partners brought me some gifts, so I thought Iโd bring them to you.โ
Jessica lowered her head to look.
They had plenty of such things at home; there was no need for Michael to bring any. But Jessica still thanked him.
Chris was cutting fruit and about to take it to the living room. When he was passing by, he happened to see Michael holding Jordanโs hand.
Originally, there was still a smile on Michaelโs face, but when he saw Chris, the smile immediately disappeared, and even Jordan looked at Michael in disbelief, her big eyes glaring at him.
โWhy are you at Mommyโs house? I donโt want to see you! Go away!โ
Chris smiled faintly and glanced at the little girl, then placed the fruit on the table. He turned around and wiped his hands slowly and deliberately.
โI donโt think I can do that. This is my house!โ
Jordan glanced at Jessica, โNo, this is Mommyโs house! Aunt Sophie said this isnโt your home. You should leave right now!โ
Seeing Jordan so stubborn, Michael didnโt even argue. Jessica knew his intentionโsure enough, Michael probably knew that Chris was still with her, so he deliberately brought Jordan over.
In the past, such words could still hurt Chris. Jessica, pretending for appearances, wouldnโt let Michael feel embarrassed, but things were different now. This time even Jessica didnโt side with Jordan.
Her expression turned much colder, no longer with her usual smile.
โJordan, you canโt be so rude. He is my husband. You should also call him Uncle Chris or Mr. Green. This is his house, too. You and Daddy are the guests here. You canโt make him leave.โ
There was disbelief all over Jordanโs face.
Hearing this, Michael tugged Jordan roughly. โDonโt be so rude.โ
Jordan pouted her lips, and the look in her eyes toward Chris was full of hostility. It was hard to imagine a little girlโs eyes could have such an expression. Michaelโs parenting really had serious problems.
โMr. Green, youโre back. I thought the two of you were divorced. Did Linda tell you to live together? Does the rest of the Wilder Group not know about your divorce? Did Linda make you put on an act?โ
Even now, Michael still tried to find a way out for himself. Chris couldnโt help but admire him.
Jessica didnโt refute either.
โDid you come all this way to bring gifts? Itโs cold outside. You shouldnโt take Jordan outdoors in such weather. If you need anything, tell Shannon. Sheโll prepare everything for you.โ
Chris stood beside Jessica. Such a sight made Michael very uncomfortable.
