“Alright.”
Forrest started the car.
The kiss had made all the irritation that she had been suppressing vanish.
It turned out that it felt great to keep an open mind and follow her heart.
They both knowingly did not bring up the incident, and they did not chat during the journey either.
Upon arriving at the destination, Jessica unfastened the seat belt.
Forrest suddenly asked, “What’s the password to your house?”
She shot him an astonished look. Her lips twitched, but she did not say anything.
“You don’t want to tell me, huh?” Forrest’s handsome face sank. “Or is it because I don’t have the right to know?”
Was what he said this morning all in vain? “Jessica, I’ve told you the password to my apartment, and I’m willing to change in certain aspects. But if you no longer have feelings for me, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
He reminded her.
?Save my number, and I’ll let you know through WhatsApp,” Jessica suddenly said after she hesitated with mixed feelings for a few seconds. Forrest was stunned. Only then did it hit him that they had not saved each other’s contact numbers even though they had been married for a few days. It was probable that such a situation only happened to the two of them in all of Australia. “What’s your WhatsApp number?”
“It’s the same as my private number.”
With that, Jessica carried her purse into the office. Forrest took out his phone and saved her number. Then, he started texting her on WhatsApp.
Within a minute, he received a reply with a string of numbers.
Forrest was stunned at the sight of the numbers. The password to the door contained eight numbers. The first few numbers were his and Jessica’s class numbers when they studied abroad, whereas the last few numbers were his birth date.
So that was the password to her apartment. Suddenly, Forrest seemed to understand why Jessica was murmuring when he asked her for it. He was not that dull. What did it mean when a woman set his class number and birth date as the password to her apartment?
Perhaps other people would not understand the significance behind the numbers, but he did. No one understood the numbers better than he did. If it were in the past, Forrest would doubt that Jessica was unconcerned about him. He would also suspect that she was behaving inappropriately, and he would doubt Ryan’s words.Yet now, he had no doubts at all.
Instead, he blamed himself for going too far that day.
Indeed, he had gone too far.
In the car, Forrest was consumed by guilt as he looked at the numbers. However, his lips curled u pinto a smile in spite of himself.
A moment later, he replied: [Alright.]
Meanwhile, Jessica was extremely embarrassed as she looked at the password she had sent.
If she had known, she should have changed her password. However, she was used to it. She had been using the password for her apartment, safety box, and bank account for years.
The significance of the numbers was why she used that password. Later, it was because she was used to it. If she changed her password, she might forget it.
Little did she know…
He should be able to grasp its meaning.
However, it was way too embarrassing. “President Snow, these are the data you asked for yesterday.”
Jessica’s secretary, Luna, walked in with something in her hands. Then, she caught her usually cold president lying on the table, looking annoyed. She was dazed, thinking that her eyes were deceiving her.
However, as if her eyes had deceived her for a second, Jessica lifted her head and looked as cold as before. “Bring it here.”
Luna was at a loss for words.
“By the way, has Harold come over?” Jessica asked all of a sudden.
“Thaven’t seen him.”
Jessica frowned while deep in thought.
Where was Harold?
Ever since he left Jessica’s house, he had been exuding a terrifying aura.
He almost dashed to the Snow family’s old residence. However, halfway through his journey, he remembered that he had promised to meet Jason at 10:00 a.m. to play golf with him. However, it was not time yet.
As such, he sped back to the Lennox family’s house.
The Lennox family was having breakfast. When they noticed Harold’s return, his elder sister, Lydia Lennox asked, “Didn’t you send Jessica breakfast? Why are you back so early?”
“Did Jessica have the soup the housekeeper cooked?” Mrs. Lennox asked. “No matter what, she needs a man to accompany her. Otherwise, she has no one to look after her if she catches a cold. You should take this chance to express your concern for her. She’ll be touched by your actions sooner or later.”
The more Harold listened, the more intense the anger in his eyes. “Drop it. There was a man at Jessica’s house when I went. Dad, do you know who he is? He’s Forrest Lynch from Lynch Corporation. From his tone, it seemed like he had married Jessica. It is absurd. Who does he think he is? Is Jessica out of her mind?”
He was so exasperated that he lost his temper. Otherwise, he would not have said such a thing. “Harold, are you mistaken?” Mrs. Lennox was baffled. “Forrest? How could Jessica have possibly gotten married?”
“Mom, Forrest definitely stayed overnight yesterday. Jessica even admitted it in person.” Harold said furiously, “Doesn’t she know my feelings for her? I can’t believe she got together with another man without me knowing. How can Forrest compare to me? I think something is wrong with Jessica.”
“Pve never heard this from Jason, though.” Mr. Lennox stood up with a long face.
Harold snorted. “Would Jessica dare to say it? The Snow family won’t agree with it. I think Forrest must have played some trick. I’ve been guarding all the wealthy young men in Canberra, but I can’t believe I failed to guard that man.”
Mrs. Lennox hurriedly said, “Alas, my love for her was all in vain. Even if she’s married, she might get a divorce. Stop looking for her, Harold. I don’t want you to marry someone who has been married twice. If it hadn’t been for the fact that she’s the successor of Snow Corporation, I wouldn’t want you to marry her since she’s a divorcee. With your looks, you can easily be with a 20- year-old lady.”
“Mom, you really know nothing.” Lydia rolled her eyes at her mother. “Dad has been trying to matchmake Harold and Jessica. He’s purely interested in her power and wealth. Snow Corporation can never belong to our family if we rely solely on ourselves. Look how well Snow Corporation is doing. If Harold marries Jessica and gets her pregnant, he’ll be able to jump at the chance to take control of Snow Corporation.” Mrs. Lennox then said, “But she’s now married.” “We have to make her get a divorce then.”
Mr. Lennox said firmly, “With Forrest’s identity, the Snow family will never accept him. I’m going to look for Jason.”
“You want my son to marry a woman who has been married twice?” Mrs. Lennox was mad.
Mrs. Lennox fell quiet.
Harold said, “Dad, I’ll listen to you.”
He wanted to get both Jessica and Snow Corporation.
Whether or not he wanted to be with Jessica forever, he would decide after marrying her.
An evil glint flashed across Harold’s eyes.
At 10:00 a.m., Harold went along with his father to meet Jason and Wendy, who had arrived too. The two of them were wearing baseball caps while dressed in comfortable sports outfits. There was a handsome man following behind Wendy. The man had clear eyes and a mature look, but his face looked childish and innocent.
“Mommy, I saw a butterfly.” Rodney pointed at a distance and went to catch the butterfly excitedly like a kid.
A touch of sarcasm crossed Harold’s mind, but his eyes did not betray it. “Uncle Jason, Aunty Wendy, Rodney seems to be doing well.”
“Yeah.” Wendy darted a glance at her son’s back. She looked relieved but helpless and regretful at the same time.
Rodney’s current IQ was similar to a six- or seven -year-old kid. What was more, his IQ would remain like that forever.
On a brighter note, he was happy, at the very least. Having said that, as a mother, Wendy could not help but feel heartbroken to see her son end up in such a state.
Mr. Lennox said with a grin, “What matters is that he’s happy. Look how brightly Rodney is smiling right now.”
“I thought so too.” Jason draped his hand on Mr. Lennox’s shoulder with a smile. “I lost to you last time, so let’s compete again today.”
“We’ll compete later.” Mr. Lennox curled his lips known each other for over ten years, but am ] really your friend?”
Jason asked with a smile, “Why am I not your friend? Please make it clear.”
Mr. Lennox threw a look at Harold. “We’ve been friends for years. Besides, considering that both our children weren’t married yet, I thought of matchmaking my son with your daughter. However, you didn’t tell me that Jessica has gotten married.”
“Jessica has gotten married?” Jessica and Wendy were both dumbfounded. The former said, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“It’s true.”
