Chapter 874 Jordan went to see Mr. Long
Lisa lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
Raymond had been waiting for an answer from Lisa.
"I like you, but I'm not the person who used to love someone recklessly, Raymond. I always feel that this is unfair to you. I've been married, had children, and even if those things don't matter, I'm Mark's daughter, born from an affair. I ama huge stain."
Lisa's eyes reddened. It was her deep-seated insecurity. She couldn't accept herself and couldn't imagine how much effort it would take for Raymond to accept her.
"It was my decision to like you, and it's my desire to be with you, so these are not things you should worry about. All the problems should be solved by me. If I can't solve them, then I don't deserve to like you," Raymond answered seriously.
"And besides, Lisa, when did being married and having children become something a woman should be ashamed of? You and Mark are different.. What he did have nothing to do with you!"
Lisa looked up at Raymond, her eyes red.
For a long time, she didn't say a word and lowered her head, resting it on Raymond's chest. "Why are you so silly? What's so good about me..."
"But I just like you." Raymond said softly.
"Oh..." Lisa wiped her tears on Raymond's shirt. "You should go home now."
"Wait for my good news," Raymond said, lowering his head, intending to kiss Lisa.
Just then, Ethan returned, he got out of the car and coughed. "It's dinner time. Are you here to mooch a meal at Jasmine's house?"
Lisa blushed and raised her hand to cover her face. "Ethan."
She called out and then ran away.
Raymond looked at Ethan with resentment. "Do I owe you something? Couldn't you come back a little later?"
"My wife is waiting for me at home. Why should I come back later?" Ethan said smugly. "I'll give you a chance. Come in and have dinner."
Raymond leaned against the car door smugly. "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I need to go home now and negotiate with my grandfather."
Ethan looked in the direction Lisa had left and asked seriously, "Raymond, are you turely love Lisa?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Ethan was silent for a moment before speaking. "I even can't handle your grandfather. You're on your own."
Raymond's grandfather, Zander Long, was a very traditional man who valued family reputation highly, especially...
Sighing, Ethan felt that it might be difficult for Raymond and Lisa to be together.
It all depended on how Raymond handled it.
"This is something I need to solve. Don't put pressure on Lisa," Raymond reminded Ethan not to tell Lisa that his grandfather disapproved of their relationship.
"Your relationship issues are for you to solve," Ethan nodded. "If you need me, I can visit your grandfather personally. After all, Lisa is my sister."
Ethan's words were also meant for Raymond. He acknowledged Lisa as his sister, so even if she was Mark's daughter, she was still his sister.
"Thanks," Raymond smiled and drove away.
Lisa had dinner at the Cunningham Mansion and was about to take Casey back.
The Douglas family mansion was empty now, so Ethan let Lisa and Casey stay there.
After all, it was where Lisa grew up.
"Why don't you stay the night?" Jasmine asked.
Lisa shook her head. "That would be too much trouble. I've already caused you a lot of trouble."
"You've already caused so much trouble, a little more won't matter," Jasmine said without being polite.
Lisa lowered her head, feeling a bit guilty.
"She finally came back. Let her and Casey bond," Ethan said.
Jasmine nodded.
Lisa took Casey's hand and was about to leave when Jasmine came out to see them off.
"You don't need to feel like you're causing trouble because we all consider Casey as our own child. Besides, putting aside our past grievances, since Ethan acknowledges you as his sister, so I do. And if it weren't for you, Mark wouldn't have been caught so quickly, and Kavi's issue wouldn't have been resolved so soon. Your contributions outweigh your past mistakes, and you haven't done much wrong to me. There's no need to hold onto the past."
Jasmine, after all, had a soft heart and couldn't stand seeing Lisa so timid.
Lisa didn't say anything, but her eyes red.
"If you keep holding onto the past, it's hurting me because your inability to let go makes me remember it too. Since it's all in the past, let's just leave it behind." Jasmine said as she helped Lisa and Casey into the car.
Lisa looked at Jasmine. "Thank you."
Jasmine didn't say anything and waved her hand.
The Douglas family mansion.
When Lisa returned with Casey, Jordan's car was parked at the door.
He probably realized that his actions had hurt Casey, so he bought gifts and waited at the door.
He bought mango cake and strawberry mochi, thinking Casey would love them.
He also bought some toys for Casey.
When Casey saw Jordan, he hid behind Lisa.
He didn't want to forgive Jordan.
Pizza almost died.
"Casey..." Jordan wanted to apologize, but Casey ignored him.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Can you forgive me this once?" Jordan asked softly.
"But Daddy always makes mistakes," Casey said, feeling wronged.
Jordan always broke his promises, even from Casey's young age.
He said he would come home, but then he wouldn't.
It was always like that.
Jordan and Lisa both wouldn't come home.
He was mostly raised by the nanny.
Fortunately, the nanny was very good to Casey.
"It was my fault this time. Can you forgive Daddy one more time?" Jordan squatted down and handed the gifts and food to Casey.
Casey peeked out, thought for a moment, and took them. "But Daddy can't lie anymore. If you lie to me again, I really won't forgive you."
Jordan smiled, not seeming to take Casey's words seriously.
"Okay, Daddy won't lie to Casey again," Jordan said, ruffling Casey's hair.
Lisa took the desserts Jordan bought and said to Casey, "Casey, let's go home."
Casey nodded and ran home.
"You don't even know your son is allergic to mangoes. As parents, we're really failures," Lisa said with a bitter smile.
She had no right to blame only Jordan because she was also a failure.
"Today... I visited Mr. Long," Jordan said, clenching his hands. "Lisa, I hope we can remarry. I'll try to give Casey a complete family. You know better than I do what kind of family the Long family is. Raymond is someone you absolutely cannot be with.
Let's remarry, okay? I promise you, I'll try to love you," Jordan reminded Lisa not to think about unrealistic things.
The Long family would never let Raymond marry Lisa.
