Lauren: I Can Accept Victoria!

Lauren's heart ached when she saw Jordan being slapped. She quickly pulled Marissa back. "Mom, what are you doing? Why did you slap Jordan?"

Marissa was furious. "Why?! He's not faithful to you. He wants to get back together with his old lover and abandon you. I have every right to slap him!"

This was Jordan's home. Jordan could have slapped his mother-in-law back, but he did not do so for Lauren's sake. If Jordan slapped his mother-in-law back, it would indeed be unseemly for a man!

He couldn't promise that he would treat Victoria like a stranger when he saw her again.

He couldn't promise that he wouldn't have intimate relations with Victoria. Perhaps the two of them might make love on the first day they reunited, and he would wrong Lauren.

Marissa pointed at Jordan "I won't allow you to go! I won't let you accept this mission. Go and find your grandfather immediately and tell him to give up on this mission!"
