Jordan patted Victoria’s back to comfort her as he said gently, “Ms. Clarke, are you in shock? Why are you calling me Daddy? Everything’s fine now. The matter with Salvatore has already been resolved. Just pretend that nothing happened today, okay?”
Victoria cried even harder and hugged Jordan even tighter.
“Daddy, I knew you didn’t leave. You’re still protecting me. Sobs… Daddy, do you know how much I’ve missed you all these years? Do you know how Emily and I lived without you? Why are you so heartless as to abandon us for so long? And even now, you still refuse to acknowledge me?
“I can’t endure it anymore. I don’t want to pretend anymore. From the moment you kissed me last night, I knew that you were my father. You are the man who loves me the most in this life!”
Victoria was sobbing heavily.
Jordan realized that something was wrong.
‘Oh my god, I secretly kissed Victoria last night but she knew! Damn it, no wonder she mistook me for her father!’
Jordan felt very helpless.
It was his fault for setting his voice to sound like Norman’s. It was now impossible to clear things up.
“Ms. Clarke, you’ve misunderstood. I’m really not your father… I…I’m just a hooligan. I was attracted by your beauty. That’s why I took advantage of you last night while you were sleeping…” Jordan quickly explained.
He couldn’t let Victoria think that he was her father. He couldn’t let her think that her father was still alive.
In the original timeline, Russell would find out the truth behind Victoria’s father’s death, and she would go to Houston to marry him.
Jordan could not change these facts.
Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to describe himself as a lecherous hooligan.
Victoria naturally didn’t believe Jordan. He was too similar to her father and he had risked his life to save her in such a dangerous situation.
Who else but a father would do this?
Victoria let go of Jordan’s and wiped her tears.
“Alright, you said that you’re not my father. Take off your sunglasses and let me see your true appearance.”
Jordan could make the skin on his face look very old and wrinkled, like a 70-year-old man.
But he could not change his eyes.
The eyes of a 10-year-old, a 20-year-old, a 40-year-old eyes and a 70-year-old person were all completely different.
Moreover, everyone’s gazes were different.
Jordan had only put on makeup, but his eyes were the same. He didn’t dare to take off his sunglasses because he was afraid that Victoria would notice that he had the same eyes as her current superior, President Jordan Steele.
Jordan shook his head. “No.”
Victoria smiled through her tears. “You don’t dare to take off your sunglasses because you’re afraid that I’ll recognize you, right? You’re my father, the bad father who abandoned me 10 years ago. I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!”
With that, Victoria kept hitting Jordan. She seemed to want to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the past 10 years.
If Norman hadn’t suddenly disappeared, Victoria wouldn’t have gone with Russell for Emily’s sake.
Perhaps her mother wouldn’t have died so early on. Perhaps she would already be married and have children now, living happily as a full-time housewife.
Instead of working hard alone in Orlando.
Jordan let Victoria hit him. He knew the grievance and pain in her heart and hoped that she could vent it all out. After Victoria hit Jordan for a while, her attitude suddenly changed.
“Daddy, I love you, I love you, I love you!”
Victoria recalled the kiss her “father” secretly gave her yesterday and returned it to Jordan. She took the initiative to kiss him.
Jordan: “…”
Jordan was at a loss. He had kissed Victoria countless times, but this was the first time he had been kissed by her in this way.
“Daddy, don’t leave today. I want you to hold me to sleep, just like when I was young, okay?”
Victoria lay in Jordan’s arms and looked up at him.
Jordan nodded. “Okay.”
So Jordan held Victoria and slept the entire night. The next morning, Jordan took advantage of the fact that Victoria was still asleep and left early. He returned to his rented apartment in the New City residential estate.
“Welcome home, Deity Jordan!”
Shaun’s research team all shouted respectfully when they saw Jordan return.
Shaun was still sleeping. When he heard the commotion, he hurried out of the bedroom and smiled happily.
“I knew you missed me! It’s not even 5 am but you are already here to help me develop the antidote. I will definitely remember your love for me!”
Jordan was speechless: ‘I’m not here because of you, right?’
Seeing that Jordan didn’t look too good, Shaun immediately asked, “Deity Jordan, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Jordan took a big gulp of water and replied, “Victoria called me Daddy the entire night!”
Shaun stood rooted to the ground for a full five seconds before prompting the other researchers.
“What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and applaud him!”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Shaun applauded as he flattered Jordan. “As expected of Deity Jordan! He actually took down Orlando’s number one beautiful CEO, Victoria, in such a short period of time!”
“From the looks of it, you didn’t reveal to her your true identity. But you still managed to get Victoria as an old, blind fortune-teller! I’m impressed. You cheated on yourself. There’s no room for others at all. Deity Jordan has already reached a supreme realm that even I can’t break through!”
Jordan poured another cup of water and splashed it on Shaun’s face. He said angrily, “F*ck you, what nonsense are you spouting? Stop your dirty thoughts. I’m saying that Victoria really believes I am her father! It’s not what you think!”
Shaun wiped his face with a tissue and said in surprise, “What? Victoria thinks you’re Norman? No wonder. Your voice is too similar to Norman’s. I already warned you not to do that.”
Jordan sighed. “We can’t let her mistake me for Norman. Otherwise, it will affect the future. Now, get your men to disguise me again. This time, focus on changing my eyes. I want her to see my face and confirm that I’m not Norman or Jordan.”
At this moment, a doctor walked over and said, “Deity Jordan, we have a way to turn your eyes, hair and skin a different color. Is that alright?”
A different color?
Jordan nodded. “Sure. This will make me look very different from myself and Norman. Transform the color of my eyes, hair and skin!”
