My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now!
Chapter 489 Meeting The Parents!

Jordan brought Lauren to the dining hall in Steele Castle.

The dining hall was expansive and incredibly spacious, with ambient lighting that gave it a special feeling. Viewed from a distance, it looked like a scene from the movies.

The light fixtures looked like antiques, but on closer inspection, Lauren realized they were actually high-tech amenities. The dining table was enormous as well. Jordan's grandfather, mother, brother, sister-in- law, aunt, Stefan and Chloe were all sitting at the dining table.

The food on the dining table was a dazzling sight, seeming to encompass a full range of colors, aromas and tastes.

In this era, although the inhabitants of a castle were not necessarily of royal descent, they could still enjoy being treated like princes and princesses'

When Charleston saw Jordan, he stood up from his seat and walked to him excitedly.

Holding Jordan's shoulders, Charleston asked with deep concern, "Jordan, are your eyes alright?"

"I am fine, Grandpa."

Charleston heaved a sigh of relief. "Boy, you haven't been home for more than three years and you have suffered much. However, Grandpa believes that you must have grown from your experiences."

Jordan smiled and nodded. He then walked to his mother

and hugged her. "Mom."

Jordan's mother had a very noble bearing. She wore elegant clothes and patted Jordan's shoulder. "I missed you so much."

According to the Steele family rules, parents could not secretly meet up with their sons while they were in training overseas. Therefore, it had been more than three years since Jordan's mother last saw him. After hugging his mother, Jordan greeted Jesse and Yumi.

"Jesse, Yumi."

Jesse looked at Jordan and smiled happily. "Jordan, welcome home. Good job on your business trial!"

"Thank you."

Jordan looked at his aunt. "Aunt, you're here too."

Jordan's aunt was a very well-groomed woman with a refined aura. She smiled. "Today is the day of your return. It's such an important occasion. Of course I must be here to see you."

Jordan smiled and introduced Lauren to his family. "Grandpa, Mom, Aunt, let me introduce you to my wife, Lauren."

At this moment, Lauren was extremely nervous. She surveyed the Steele family members dining in this huge and elegant dining hall. Everyone was very poised and sophisticated, their clothing was expensive- looking and tasteful. This made her even more nervous.

Lauren quickly greeted Jordan's family respectfully. "Hello, Grandpa, Mom, Aunt, Brother Jesse, Sister Yumi." Seeing how nervous she was, Charleston smiled and said, "Lauren, we're family. Relax, sit down and eat with us."

Jesse said, "Yes, Lauren. Grandpa and Mom are very easy-going people. I heard that you were drinking at a bar earlier. We are drinking too. Come, let's drink together."

Stefan, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed. He immediately berated Lauren, "Lauren! You're too outrageous! This is your first day at your husband's house, yet you ran off to go drinking with your friends. That is too rude! Who is more important? Your friends or your in-laws?! You are a girl but you came in smelling of alcohol. This is outrageous. Apologize!"

Jordan's mother hurried over. She held Lauren's hand warmly and said, "My dear, there's no need to apologize. Stefan, no need to be so formal with us. We're family."

Charleston added. "That's right, Stefan. All the women in the Steele family drink. It's not a big deal. Come, Lauren, have a seat. Tell me what you want to eat and I will have the kitchen prepare it."

As Jordan led Lauren to her seat, she looked at the sumptuous food on the dining table and said, "There's no need to trouble yourself. There are so many dishes. I don't even know where to start." Stefan berated Lauren again. "Lauren, how can you think of eating now? You're so insensible! Go and pour wine for everyone!"

"Okay."

Lauren hurriedly got up and poured some wine for Charleston.

Jordan said to Stefan, "Dad, you don't have to be so tense. My family is very easy-going. We don't have so many rules."

Jordan knew that Stefan never scolded Lauren like this back at their home. In fact, he rarely spoke at home. If anything, Marissa was the one who would say such things.

It was obvious that his father-in-law was just feeling nervous in the Steele family home.

Lauren obediently poured wine for everyone.

Jordan's aunt kept staring at Lauren as she praised her. "Your name is Lauren, right? Not bad. You are both beautiful and graceful. Mr. Howard, you've raised a wonderful daughter." Stefan's face turned red. He picked up his wine glass and said excitedly, "You're too kind. How can I accept such high praise? I... I'll toast you. Thank you."

With that, Stefan downed his wine in one gulp.

Jordan was surprised by his action.

'F*ck, what's wrong with my father-in-law today? He's so edgy.'

Jordan observed Stefan's expression when he was looking at his aunt. He realized that Stefan looked different when interacting with her.

Ah. A smile was on Jordan's face. Now he understood what was going on.

No wonder Stefan begged me to bring him here. He wanted to see my aunt.'

Jordan could tell that Stefan was interested in his aunt.

Back then, the Howard family had wanted Stefan and Jordan's aunt to get married. Fortunately, they didn't succeed. Otherwise, Lauren wouldn't be here today.

When Lauren saw her father downing his wine, she thought that he would want her to do the same.

Lauren stood up with her wine glass and said, "Grandpa, Mom, Aunt, Brother Jesse, Sister Yumi, I'm sorry, I was rude and came late. I'll punish myself by finishing this glass of wine."

With that, Lauren downed her glass of white wine.

Jesse smiled and clapped. "Wow, well done. You are indeed an outstanding woman. Not bad, not bad."

After Lauren sat down, Jordan tugged at her hand and whispered, "Honey, you're so fierce today. You drank red wine, brandy and now white wine. Take it easy. We still need to christen our new bed tonight." Lauren was indeed feeling a little dizzy. "Hubby, if I get drunk later, you have to watch over me and not let me make a fool of myself."

Jordan was also very curious because he had never seen Lauren drunk before. He had gone drinking with her a few times and realized that her alcohol tolerance was pretty good.

Jordan asked, "Honey, what do you usually do when you're drunk?"

Lauren replied, "I sing..."

Jordan was surprised. He immediately snapped his fingers and asked a maid to come over. "Prepare a microphone."

Lauren:"???"
