The next day, Lianne stayed home with Jordy. She took a leave from the office for the next three days so she could take care of Jordy and also ensure that he stayed away from work.
Jordy and Lianne were watching a movie in their room and it had just come to an end. He was about to ask her if she wanted to watch the next part and saw that she was already dozing off. He patted her until she fell asleep before laying her on the bed.
Earlier on, Lianne had insisted on checking his injury and after making sure it was still okay, he had refused to put his shirt back on intending to tease her a little bit more.
They had then settled on watching a seasonal movie. He had pulled Lianne into his arms making her lay her head on his chest but she avoided touching his wound.
After she had completely fallen asleep, he pulled the blanket to cover her so she doesn't catch a cold.
Just then, his phone rang. He quickly answered it and walked over to the balcony.
"Hey dad" he said
"Jun, the Guang family called me" his dad said
"Why would they call you? Do they want to finally ascertain my death? " Jordy asked angrily.
"No Jun, they pleaded with me to release their son" his dad said
"What?!!!" Jordy said furiously
"Jun calm down" his dad said
"Dad, I almost died. They tried to kill me and you want me to just release their son? What if I had actually died" Jordy said
"Don't talk like that. The pleaded with me and I couldn't take any decision since it all lies in your hands. We are already on our way to your house with the Guang's following us. Just think about it. They are willing to give you most of their business and they'll leave the country" his dad said and ended the call.
Jordy sighed a bit before returning back to the room. He put on a shirt in preparation to receive his guests. He went towards his wife where she lay quietly on the bed.
He pulled the blanket to cover her properly and placed a kiss on her cheeks before leaving the room.
By the time he got downstairs, he heard voices from the living room. His brows creased as he approached the living room only to see his parents, Ji Ming (one of his cousins) and the Guang's excluding the Guang's son who had tried to kill Jordy
Jordy casually walked to a two sitter couch which was empty and sat there. He greeted the elders present but kept his cold gaze intact.
"Brother Jun..." Emelia was saying with tear stained cheeks trying to incur pity from Jordy.
"Don't call me that. My wife is upstairs and she wouldn't want to hear you call me so affectionately as though we're close" Jordy said angrily.
"Min Jun you don't have to be this mean. Emelia..." his aunt was saying but he had already had enough of this
"Enough. I didn't come here to negotiate anything but to make it clear that no matter what happens, I will not release your son" Jordy said.
His gaze then fell on a figure hiding behind the door.
"Xiaomi come out" Jordy said.
Lianne who had woken up from her sleep and decided to come check for Jordy stood behind the door. She had heard some parts of their discussion and didn't know wether to pretend she wasn't there or just come out
Jordy called her again and this time she had no other choice than to come out.
She walked with her head bent down and went to the couch where Jordy was seated.
Jordy assisted her to sit on the couch before tucking her hair behind her ears and placed a kiss on her forehead completely ignoring everyone else present in the room. He asked if she was okay and after ensuring everything was fine, he then turned to the rest with his arm holding her waist.
The Guang's felt angry at the display of affection between the two but what could they do? Their son had taken their voice away.
"Jun" Lianne called in a soft voice making Jordy turn back to her giving her his full attention.
"Yes my love" he replied
"Can you let their son go?" she asked him making everyone look at her with shock and surprise. This was the same person who was angry when she heard about what happened
"What?" Jordy asked.
"They have already lost their businesses to you" Lianne said holding his hand with a cute pleading look on her face
"How do you know about that?" he asked her.
"The news is all over the internet. At this point, their only possible option is to go abroad and they can't cause any harm that way. So please let them go. They've already learnt their lesson" Lianne pleaded with him
