###Chapter 26 Jordan Wants To Have A New Child
He walked so fast that he already went back to the courtyard after a short while. The food had already been served, and there were only four of us on our table. Besides us, three other family members were sitting elsewhere.
I just met the man and the child now in the yard. The woman, whom I have not yet met, was his wife.
When he saw me, the man smiled and looked at his wife and told her, "Go to the kitchen and bring the cuttlefish and red jujube soup to Mrs. Astley to taste. The soup is good for the baby!"
In return, I smiled at the couple and told them to thank you. Joe couldn't get used to it and whispered, "The kids are gone. What's the use of this soup?"
Jordan looked at me which made me a little flustered. For a moment, I was worried about what Jordan heard from this man. I looked at him and said, "Wait, you haven't introduced this gentleman to me yet!"
I spoke softly, trying to look like a qualified and virtuous wife in front of everybody.
Jordan looked slightly stupefied with what I just said, and his dark eyes fell on me as he began to make a brief introduction.
This man was apparently the owner of this courtyard. His name was Timothy Coleman, the son of a family which was prominent in the medical field. Because he loved food and medicinal ingredients very much, he cultivated some of the finest herbal and medicinal products in this courtyard.
The elegant and beautiful woman before them was his wife, and the one-year-old kid was his son.
Timothy simply said hello to me which made me feel a little perturbed. I was not pregnant and Jordan was not good at deceiving people. If Timothy knew that something else was happening, then how would I act?
I was a little worried. I couldn't help looking at Brad, hoping that he would think of something quick.
At this time, Mrs. Coleman came in with her stewed cuttlefish soup, looked at it satisfied, and smiled at me, "Mrs. Astley, try this. I have always liked slurping this soup. Although it tastes strange, at first my husband had added some herbs to replenish energy and nourish your blood. It's specially made for the body. How many weeks is the child in your belly?"
I came out in a cold sweat, looked at her, and smiled, "Originally six weeks. Jordan and I were not ready so we've decided to abort the baby."
As soon as she heard my words, she froze on her spot, looked surprised for a short while. She then faced me indefinitely and asked, "You're not pregnant?"
"Mrs. Coleman, this is just a false pregnancy after a small postpartum period. It will be all right after some time. You should not glorify too much your husband and wife, that's one of the principles in life." Brad, who just wanted to drink tea in silence, finally opened his mouth.
For a moment, Timothy narrowed his black eyes slightly, then smiled for a moment, and kept himself in silence. But Mrs. Coleman, who just discovered that I was not pregnant, smiled and chatted with me for a while.
Finally, after eating and letting go, Timothy whispered something in his wife's ear. Then his wife looked at me, stupefied, nodded, and walked away
Timothy looked at Jordan and said, "It's rare for you to come here. I've prepared some medicine for Ivelle to recuperate. For you, it's not difficult for you to go home and take good care of yourself."
Jordan nodded and looked at me with a pair of black eyes. I was not in a mood to read his mind. I couldn't figure out what he meant for a moment.
I always felt that he seemed to have especially brought me here just to show Timothy. As for the purpose, I was a little confused for a moment.
I was not sure, so I didn't say a word until I left.
When I got on the bus, it was already evening. Kian didn't like me at all, I could sense. He urged Jordan to send me home hurriedly. He always looked at me upset.
Without arguing with him, knowing that they might have something to do, I simply got out of the bus and said that I will take a taxi back myself.
Jordan didn't say much to me but told me to be careful on my way home. Soon, a few people left.
I pretended to have something in mind, and I couldn't fall asleep when I went back. I originally wanted to find Brad to ask him about it, but when he was with Jordan, I couldn't ask. So I just decided to go to the bar all by myself.
It was getting dark, and there were a lot of people filling in the bar, one after another.
Maisie was scared when she saw me in the bar as if she just saw a ghost. She gritted her teeth, clawed at me, and said, "You have to keep resting your body at home, okay? What are you doing here?"
"I'm just boredom!" Throw her these three words, while I tried finding a seat to sit down on.
She raised her forehead and felt like she was about to explode out of frustration. "Ivelle, you've had a miscarriage just a few days ago. Would you please be nice to yourself and keep your body at home?"
Knowing that she was worried, I looked at her and said softly, "Give me a glass of orange juice and talk!"
"You know, I won't bore you." With that, she went straight to the bar and got my order.
I looked sideways and watched the people coming and going into the bar. I was thinking about the purpose of Jordan taking me to the medicine garden today. Did he already suspect that I still have the child in me?
"Why are you in a daze? Aren't you bored? Come on, I'll take you to a nice place." Maisie patted me on the shoulder nervously, pulled me by the hand, and walked out with me.
I followed her out of the bar, but I didn't know where we were going so I asked, "Where to?"
"You'll know when we arrive there!"
This street was full of bars. I thought she was pulling me out to go shopping. I said, "You do not guard the bar, leave your job, and take me out for a stroll. How can you say that you are not bored?"
"What are you talking about?" She pointed to the magnificent nightclub not far ahead and said, "There are guards in the bar. Are you really not bored? I'll take you out to see the world!"
I seldom went anywhere except Maisie's bar, so when she pulled me into the resplendent nightclub, for a moment I was so shocked by the harsh music. I could feel my ears almost falling off.
Maisie was familiar with the road and found a conspicuous seat on the second floor. Then she found the manager and said, "Find us, two men!"
The manager looked at her situation, nodded again and again, and said, "All right, I'll bring someone to choose for you two right away."
I looked at Maisie surprised and there was a twitch in the corner of my eye. "Why did you order a man for me?"
"Stay with us!" With a natural look on her face, she put a glass of juice in front of me and said, "Let's take a look at the man outside. You shouldn't be so weak to Jordan. Don't pay attention to him all day long. You should also have your own temper."
Before I could say anything, the manager, who had just left, brought more than a dozen male models in front of us. I froze for a moment.
"Choose one. There are all kinds of men here. Don't you like the overbearing CEO type? Look at that man in a suit. His appearance is no worse than that of your Jordan." Maisie said while ordering a male model in the shape of a puppy.
The man went straight to him, poured her a glass of wine carefully, and affectionately took her hand in the palm of his hand. Maisie did not resist but also leaned her body in the arms of the male model.
I was so surprised that I almost felt my jaw-dropping. People would probably already have guessed that I don't come here often, haven't they?
No wonder Maisie couldn't find a boyfriend.
"Look at what we do, pick one quickly!" Maisie urged me to say something.
I really didn't know what to say. I smiled and said, "I don't need a man!"
After taking a bothered look at me, she pointed directly at the male model in a suit and said, "You stay with her!"
After picking one among the men, the other models left, and the suit male model sat next to me. I was extremely uncomfortable. Maisie was ready to have some excitement with the man.
After Maisie left me and the suit male model, I look at him and felt a little embarrassed. I said, "Well, I'm not interested. This is my first time."
"Miss, there is no need to explain, I know!" He looked at me and smiled. "I've always been like this then it's the customer's first time. You'll soon get used to it!"
I couldn't believe that I have nothing to say.
