Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 313: Chapter 313

"Don't stress about it. If they mess up at work because of this, you'll know better than bringing them along next time," Jordan said. Stella gave a slight nod.
It was late, and residents here usually turned in early. Jordan had a quick shower after Stella finished hers. When Jordan came out of the bathroom, he saw Stella already fast asleep in bed.
He let out a wry smile, thinking, 'Is it that I'm not attractive enough, or is Stella just really exhausted?' Jordan lay down next to Stella, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't fall asleep.
Stella slept like an angel, barely moving a muscle. Meanwhile, he was a total mess, tossing and turning restlessly.
When they were at home, at least they had separate rooms. But now they were sharing the same bed. If Stella had fully recovered and given him the green light, he wouldn't have held back.
Jordan lost count of how many cold showers he took that night. He kept his movements as quiet as possible, afraid of waking Stella. The next morning, when Stella woke up, she found Jordan looking dead tired, as if he'd been up all night.
"Was I a bad sleeper last night?" Stella asked.
Jordan felt sorry for her. "Don't always think there's something wrong with you. You're great, you're wonderful, and you didn't do anything wrong. I'm just not used to sleeping somewhere new. It's not your fault."
Stella was touched by his words, but she didn't believe him. "Don't try to fool me. I know you go on business trips all the time, and you've never looked like this before. It has to be because of me."
Jordan wanted to smack himself. He thought with regret, 'Why can't I find a better excuse?' "No, seriously, don't overthink it. It's not because of you," Jordan said.
Stella noticed something was off in his voice and asked, "Did you catch a cold?"
Jordan had woken up with his head feeling heavy and a bit out of it. "I guess so," he replied.
"I don't have to visit their factory until ten, so we've got plenty of time. Let me take you to the hospital for a check-up," Stella suggested.
"Let's ask Mr. James if there's a traditional medicine clinic nearby," Jordan suggested.
"Yeah, good advice."
Stella had tried going to regular doctors a few times, but it never helped. Traditional medicine, on the other hand, always worked wonders for her.
When they met up with Cavan, Stella asked anxiously, "Mr. James, do you know any good traditional medicine doctors around here? My husband seems to have caught a cold."
Cavan glanced at Jordan, who nodded back as a greeting.
Kevin frowned. "How did he manage to catch a cold in a night?"
Cavan seemed to realize what was going on but didn't expose it. "I know one. I'll take you there."
"Nice to meet you, Stella."
Cavan drove them all together to the traditional medicine clinic. Stella was up front with Jordan, looking worried the whole time.
Kevin thought to himself, 'Seriously? With a body that fragile, how is Jordan even fit to be Stella's husband?'
Cavan leaned in close and whispered to Kevin, "I'm married, so I've been around the block. Let me ask you, have they slept together yet?"
Kevin knew a bit about this. "Probably not. Why do you ask?"
"Well, if they haven't, that says a lot, doesn't it? It means their relationship might not be that strong. You might still have a chance."
Kevin stared at him in shock, completely speechless.
Cavan, still acting like the seasoned veteran, added, "Let me tell you, I bet you anything Mr. Erwin caught a cold because he spent half the night taking cold showers."
