“…”
Forrest pursed his beautiful lips, speechless.
However, it was a fact that Stacey had saved him.
Besides, he had to get married no matter who his other half was anyway.
“Okay.”
After some time, the word finally came out of his mouth.
The Childs family’s expressions relaxed, and Stacey stared at Forrest blankly with her eyes slightly red yet excited.
Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch were rather satisfied with Forrest’s response.
Forrest had to get married anyhow.
They had never expected their son to be a social climber, but they thought their son should marry someone whose status was similar to his. If there was a huge gap between both statuses, their marriage might break down easily.
Coincidentally, Stacey was the right person.
….
When Mireya returned home from work at night, she was astonished to hear that Forrest was getting married.
“Stacey Childs? His assistant?”
She quickly fetched some water to steady her nerves.
“Stacey is the young lady of the chairman who owns Halo Investment Corporation.”
Mrs. Lynch rolled her eyes at Mireya. “She has a crush on your brother, and that’s why she applied to become his secretary. Tsk. This woman has such great taste.”
“…”
Mireya’s mouth twitched at the fact that her mother claimed Stacey had great taste just because she was in love with Forrest. “What great taste? My brother is so cold.”
“Ahem. It’s fine for others to say that, but you shouldn’t. Your brother has been treating you well since you were young. What’s more, he’s one of the very few good-looking ones.”
After Mrs. Lynch finished speaking, she coughed. “Of course, he is a bit cold. That’s exactly why I’m worried that he’ll be single forever. Since the woman saved him, he should devote his life to her, and he agreed with it too.”
“My brother could’ve been scared because you kept pushing him to get married. Since he would have to get married anyway, he thought he might as well pick Stacey so that he wouldn’t have to go on more blind dates.” Mireya’s lips twitched.
“Oh well. Their feelings for each other will grow as they get along over time. Once they have a child, their life will be different. Besides, Stacey is indeed a nice woman. I quite like her.”
“….”
Mireya was not familiar with Stacey. Nevertheless, she did not think that life would be different for a couple after having a child.
She had previously that thought as well, yet she ended up divorced from Rodney.
…..
Upon hearing that Forrest returned home that night, Mireya raced to his room. “Forrest…”
Just as she shut the door and turned around, she saw Forrest taking off his shirt. Under the dark blue shirt were his toned muscles and slim waist. However, his skin was honey-colored and tanned, unlike Ryan, who was fair-skinned.
“Wow, Forrest. I didn’t know you had muscles.” Mireya was momentarily stunned at how well her brother had kept his muscles.
Forrest glared at her and quickly put on his pajamas. “Don’t you have hands? Why didn’t you knock before entering my room?We’re not kids anymore.”
“Can’t you see I’m in a hurry to ask you something?” Mireya stuck her tongue out. “Are you really going to marry Stacey? Do you like her?”
“What’s there to like or dislike? I have to get married anyway.” After pausing for a moment, Forrest said, “She did save me, and she’s quite capable at work.”
Mireya was at a loss for words. “You’re getting a wife, not a secretary. If you want to return her favor, there’s no need to devote your life to her.”
Forrest ignored her and looked down at his watch.
“Once you… are married, you can’t be with Jessica anymore. Think carefully.” Mireya suddenly said, “I’m your sister, and I have experience in relationships. Two people must have feelings for each other to be together. You can’t get married just for the sake of getting married, and I don’t advise that you get married for the sake of the child or favor.”
Forrest drew his drawer open and placed his watch inside. “Oh, does it mean that I should marry Jessica?”
With that, he straightened up and turned around to face Mireya with his cold eyes. “Mireya, who is the older one now? Have you been bewitched by Jessica? Let me tell you again that it’s impossible for Jessica and me to be in a relationship.”
That ended the conversation.
Forrest turned around and headed to the bathroom.
Mireya took a deep breath before turning around and returning to her bedroom.
Shortly after, Ryan called her. After Ryan and Mireya finished dealing with their respective work at night, they would have a long call. “Darling, I’ve been reading since the afternoon, and I haven’t even had dinner…”
“Don’t you know how to cook your own dinner? You have hands, don’t you?” Mireya said with a snort, “How old are you to tell me you’re hungry? You’re not a kid anymore.”
“…”
He could tell that his woman was in a bad mood.
“Who offended you?” Ryan began to reflect on his actions carefully.
“No one.” Upon realizing that she sounded too harsh, she let out a sigh. “My brother is going to get married. I tried to advise him out of the goodness of my heart-“
“What? Your brother is going to get married? To who?” Ryan was shocked. He had not heard that Forrest had a girlfriend.
“My brother’s assistant has saved him heroically, so my brother plans to devote his life to her. It is ridiculous.” Mireya said, “Both my parents have approved of it. In fact, the two families are well-matched, but I think two people must have feelings for each other before getting married. Marriage isn’t a game. Oh, forget it. There’s a generation gap between my parents and me, whereas my brother has never gone through it, so he doesn’t understand my good intentions. Hmph. I advised him out of kindness, yet he treated me so coldly.”
“Uh… Hasn’t your brother always been cold? Don’t take it to heart,” Ryan comforted Mireya.
“…That’s true too.”
“Darling, after some thought, I’ve decided to cook some noodles. I’ll talk to you later…”
Ryan hung up the call.
He was hungry, but he just felt the need to let Jessica know about the matter.
With that, he quickly dialed Jessica’s number. “Where are you?”
“Working overtime.”
Ryan was speechless. “Are you planning to dedicate your entire life to work? You’ve been working overtime every day. What time is it now? I’m telling you, if you continue to work overtime like this, all the men are going to get married.”
“…”
Jessica rubbed her brows. Her mind was filled with data, so she had not come to her senses yet. “Who?”
Ryan was impatient. “Who else but Forrest? Mireya just told me that something nearly happened to Forrest at the factory, but his female assistant saved him in time. So, he has decided to devote his life to her. Both their families have approved it, and they’ll soon discuss the marriage.”
“…”
Jessica remained silent.
Now, her mind was no longer filled with data. Upon hearing the news, she was at her wits’ end.
Get married?
She was a little confused.
By the time she came to it, she felt as though there was a hole in her chest. Her originally empty heart became even emptier.
“I’ve informed you of the news first thing, so you should ponder over it. If you don’t take action soon, you can forget about it once he gets married and has a child.”
