Mireya left them and went to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Lynch. “Mom, Dani called me ¡®Mama’ just now.”
“Dani has been babbling lately. She’s definitely an early talker.” Mrs. Lynch took a glance outside while washing the vegetables. “Ryan came to accompany Dani early in the evening. I’ve observed him for a long time. He has quite the patience.”
Hearing her boyfriend being praised, Mireya was in a good mood. However, she said, “Mom, why did you call him over?”
Mrs. Lynch glanced at her daughter. “It’s to prevent you from always going to his place and not even coming back at night.”
Mireya’s face heated up when she remembered how she had lied to her mom yesterday. Her legs were still sore. She and Ryan had been too intense from yesterday until today.
“Mom, don’t call him over too frequently. He has an exam next month. He needs to revise.” Mireya advised her mom. “He’ll go to university to do his Ph.D. after passing the exam.”
“He’s a hard-working man. It’s better to study more.”
Mrs. Lynch listened to Mireya’s advice.
When it was almost mealtime, Forrest and Mr. Lynch returned from the company.
When they sat at the round table and started eating, Mrs. Lynch glanced at Ryan and Dani, who were both beside Mireya. Although Ryan and Mireya had not gotten married yet, they looked like a family of three. Ryan was very patient too. The scene was truly pleasing to the eye.
When Mrs. Lynch turned her gaze to Forrest, who was having his meal in silence, her expression darkened. She suddenly asked, “Forrest, answer me truthfully. Do you not like women?”
“Cough.”
Forrest almost choked on his food. He only recovered after coughing several times. The cold outline of his face twitched.
Mireya almost burst out in laughter. “That’s right, Brother. Our family is open-minded. If you like men, you can say it out boldly. I can introduce an excellent young man to you.”
Mr. Lynch let out a harrumph. “You’re mistaken. Your parents aren’t such open-minded people. I only have one son. I’m still counting on him to carry on the family line.”
“It’s easy to carry on the family line. It’s enough as long as Brother contributes his sperm,” Mireya teased.
Forrest’s cold gaze swept across Mireya as he gave her a warning. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Was Mireya not clear about whether he liked men or not?
Mireya shrugged her shoulders.
Mrs. Lynch put her fork down and made a stern face. “Your sister’s words aren’t wrong. Look at you. You’re already 30 years old, yet you don’t even have a girlfriend. I told you to go on blind dates, but they always end without a conclusion after just a few interactions. Are you really not planning to get married? If you keep delaying this, women of similar status won’t even consider you anymore no matter how good your characteristics are. They’ll think there’s something wrong with you.”
“….”
? ? Forrest’s handsome face looked awful and tense. “I don’t care.”
Playvolume00:00/00:00PUBFUTUREFANTASY2TruvidfullScreen “I care,” Mrs. Lynch said sternly. “Look at your sister. She even has a child and a boyfriend. You should learn from her. Her speed is on par with yours, considering that she’s a divorcee and found another boyfriend. You might not even have a girlfriend yet when she gets married again.”
“…”
Forrest pressed his thin lips together and did not say a word.
Whenever the topic of him getting a girlfriend was brought up at home, he would just keep quiet and feign ignorance.
“I’ll d*e of anger because of you one day.” Mrs. Lynch was extremely furious. “I don’t care. You have to get a girlfriend before summer. If you prefer men… I can’t stop you from being happy, but you must have a child.”
“…”
“Brother, look at the extent you’ve forced Mom.” Mireya gave her brother a profound glance.
“Babe, have some fish.” Ryan got a piece of fish for her.
After taking a bite happily, her expression turned awful all of a sudden. “Ryan, you didn’t even remove the bones. What do you mean by this?”
“I did remove them.” Ryan went closer to have to look. He quickly said apologetically, “I didn’t spot the ones inside. Be careful.”
“Hmph.”
Mireya let out a dainty hmph.
Mrs. Lynch held her forehead. She did not know that her daughter was so demanding. She hoped that Mireya would not scare her boyfriend away with her demands.
Both her son and daughter made Mrs. Lynch worried.
Mr. Lynch scolded, “It’s good enough that Ryan is serving you food. Don’t be so difficult.”
After pausing for a moment, he spoke again, “Is it because you’re too demanding that it’s scaring your brother from getting a girlfriend?”
Mrs. Lynch did not give Mireya a chance to speak. “Forrest, your sister is an exception. You must still have faith in love.”
Mireya showed a wronged expression. “I’m being falsely accused. The reason Forrest isn’t getting a girlfriend is…”
“I’m full.” Forrest stood up all of a sudden and left.
Everyone was taken aback. Mireya opened her mouth, but she forgot what she was about to say.
Right then, Ryan held her small hand beneath the table.
Mrs. Lynch sighed. “Ah, your brother has had a cold face ever since he was young. I don’t know what he’s thinking in that mind of his.”
However, Mr. Lynch did not forget what his daughter was about to say. “Mireya, do you know why your brother isn’t looking for a girlfriend?”
“How would I know?” Mireya denied it in a hurry. “Maybe it’s because my brother has been facing a great beauty like me since he was young. In addition, Cate is also very pretty. His standards might’ve become sky-high. The women Mom introduced were pretty, but they’re just moderate compared to a great beauty like me.”
Ryan almost burst out laughing. His woman was truly shameless at some times.
“Do you think my words don’t make sense?” Mireya raised her eyebrows and gave him a dangerous stare.
“They make sense.” Ryan nodded hurriedly. “If you participate in a beauty pageant, you’ll definitely be the winner.”
“Of course.” Mireya was smug.
Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch exchanged glances. They could not stand seeing their daughter being so shameless.
However, their daughter’s matter was already settled. It was their son’s relationship that became a major concern for Mrs. Lynch.
After dinner, Ryan and Mireya pushed Dani in a stroller to the neighborhood’s lakeside for a walk.
The weather had started becoming hotter. The night breeze blew, and a slight fragrance wafted in the air.
Playvolume00:00/00:00PUBFUTUREFANTASY1TruvidfullScreen Mireya sighed. “I really can’t figure out what my brother is thinking. Did you say he still likes Jessica? It doesn’t seem like that. He might not like her, but he still hasn’t gotten a girlfriend.”
After she spoke, she glanced at the man beside her. “What do you think?”
“I’m not too sure either.”
No matter how smart Ryan was, he could not figure everything out. “Maybe Forrest doesn’t like Jessica anymore. Or maybe he still likes her, but he can’t get over the barrier in his heart. Besides… it’s not just about their identities and status. There’s still Rodney standing between them. Uncle Jason and Aunt Wendy will eventually grow old. With how Rodney is now… The duty will fall onto Jessica sooner or later. She’s a person with a sense of responsibility. Moreover, the parents of both families won’t agree.”
Mireya went silent.
Some people might be in love, but they might not be able to overcome obstacles and end up together like her and Ryan.
No, she and Ryan could only end up together because of Ryan’s courage.
On the other hand, Forrest and Jessica were people with wounds in their hearts. Maybe they had lost the courage they had back then.
Thinking about it, Mireya unconsciously tightened her grip on the hand of the man beside her. She had to cherish him well.
….
9:00 p.m.
Ryan drove his car and left. When he passed by Snow Corporation’s building, he saw that the lights on the top floor were still lit. After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned around and drove into the parking lot.
Knock, knock.
