Marissa hung up angrily.
Exasperated, Jordan returned the phone to Lauren and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Honey. I'm not trying to be difficult with your mother. It's not that I don't want to let her sit in the carriage. It's just that…"
Lauren cut in, "I understand, Hubby. Mom's request is too overboard. Once the golden carriage is mobilized, it will definitely cause a commotion on many levels. I know your family has always been very low-profile. Yesterday, when we rode the golden carriage, they had to seal the roads and get the royal guards to protect me. I was quite embarrassed."
Jordan nodded. He was very happy that his wife was a reasonable person. If it was another woman, she might have argued with her husband and said nasty things.
"Actually, yesterday was the first time our family's golden carriage was driven through the London city area. My grandfather and others in the family have never done that before."
