Irish drove to Joseph's house early in the morning, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Jordan sitting on the floor leisurely, leaning on the couch, and engrossed in playing games.
It seemed that he had just got up since his hair was disheveled, his upper body was naked, and he was only wearing trousers. The sunlight poured from the window, falling on him.
It seemed that he had the same habit as Joseph, and it was easy to tell from his strong shoulders and texture lines that he often went to the fitness center. He had an alluring figure and a strong aura which was inaccurate with his age.
Irish hesitated for a few seconds and then stepped forward, asking, when passing by him, "Did you eat breakfast?"
She took a look at the big screen while asking. It seemed he carried the recreational machines with him at any time, but Joseph didn't like playing games. But she had to admit that it was heart-stirring to see the game scene from the big screen.
Jordan glanced at Irish since he was enjoying the game and his hands moved so fast. Then, he sneered and snorted, "I thought you wouldn't come again.
He thought that any woman who had been humiliated by him wouldn't come to him again, but it seemed she was unusual.

Irish swayed her bags and asked, "What do you want to eat?" But Jordan didn't reply to her and completely ignored her presence.
"Well, then, I will make a simple meal for you. But I have to tell you first. Simple meal means instant noodles."
Jordan still kept silent.
When she was about to go to the kitchen and cook for him, he suddenly said very impolitely, "Leo told me that you are not my brother's mistress? Well, then, who are you? Are you a woman only for my brother's physiological needs?"
He said very unkindly with a harsh and impolite tone, like a myriad of needles pricking into Irish's heart. She stopped while her shoulders were a little bit frozen and then she looked back at Jordan who showed a faint smile and was still focused on his game. He didn't take her seriously at all.
"What's wrong? Do you think only a legal wife is worthy of your brother? I think Ruby doesn't have so much time." She replied indifferently. She was angry when she heard his words, but she knew he intended to annoy her. Moreover, he was still an innocent boy, so she didn't want to argue with him.
Joseph should be responsible for Jordan's rebellious character. She had seen many rebellious young adolescents before, and some were even more excessive than Jordan, but most of them were influenced by their family environment. They acted in this way because they hoped to get attention from their family members.
Following Joseph's parenting style, most of the grown-up children would develop towards two extremes, either introverted or rebellious and wildly arrogant, while Jordan belonged to the latter.
Hearing the indifferent reply from Irish, he suddenly stopped the game, turned to her with disdainful eyes, and snorted, "I have never seen such a shameless woman before."
"Shameless? Do you mean that I destroyed your brother's marriage?"
"What do you think?" Jordan sneered at her.
"Then can I say that you care about your brother very much?" Irish asked in reply.
Perhaps, Jordan didn't expect that she would hit him back calmly, and he turned speechless suddenly. His mouth was open slightly while his face went pink, which looked even more handsome from a distance. Irish was not anxious but waited for his answer patiently.
After a while, he raised his voice and replied, "A shameless woman like you can put your foot in another's marriage. His voice sounded anxious, and it seemed that he could hardly retain his composure.
"Anyone can't put a foot into a couple's marriage if they love each other, but couples without love will be separated finally."

However, Irish still replied to him calmly, "What a regret that you have to be taken care of by a bitch." Then she walked to the kitchen.
She came here today, not because she was diligent. In fact, she didn't have to come to care for him today since he was already twenty years old and could manage his life. But she had a dream last night in which she was still a small girl and squatted in a dark corner, crying and overwhelmed by desperation. She cried for a long time, and finally, a boy came to her, chatting with her and holding her hands. His hands warmed her heart gradually.
He told her not to be afraid and said he would take care of her. To her surprise, after hearing this, her fear had disappeared.
When she was about to see what the little boy looked like, the magpies outside the window woke her up. The crows and magpies were all flying in the sky in this season, and she couldn't figure out whether it was an ill omen or a blessing.
She was confused in bed for a long time, and she began to ponder the meaning of her dream when she was washing her face. And finally, she figured out why she wasn't scared in her dream, because the little boy was Joseph.
She thought it was a must because she missed him so much.
Therefore, Irish hastily rushed here after dressing up because she thought Joseph had accompanied her in her dream, so she had to help him take care of his younger brother.
When passing through the living room, she was shocked since she saw a few plates with some odds and leftover meals lying on the table.
Irish stepped closer and looked at it, finding the forks were dispersed on the table. She stared at the mess for a while, then put her bag on the table and turned to the kitchen.
