Forrest’s brows moved slightly. He was just about to say something but suppressed his words. “Her relationship with Sheryl isn’t that good. She has already helped quite a lot with Freycatheli. Cate won’t be comfortable either if you ask for too much. Besides… she has already helped you enough.”
“Fine, I get it. It’s just an option if we’re left with no other choice. I can’t just watch as Lynch Corporation falls…” Mireya pouted bitterly.
“You didn’t ask Ryan for help, right?” Forrest suddenly asked in a low voice.
“Nope. Dad didn’t let me. I’m well aware of your things. Ryan did take the initiative to mention it and said that he would help us investigate, but it seems to be a little tricky…”
“Just tell him to focus on his studies. I’ve already found a solution for this.”
Forrest said in a complicated tone.
“Really? You’re amazing, Forrest.” Mireya’s eyes lit up a s she looked at him with an adoring face.
Forrest, “…”
He really did not want to say that his solution to this matter was selling his body.
It was really… too humiliating.
His handsome face grew a few degrees colder, so he stopped looking at her and went upstairs expressionlessly.
Mireya was baffled. If it were Ryan, he would not be able to handle how sweet she was when she praised him, but her brother… Forget it, there was a reason why he was single.
Even now, she did not understand. Besides that face, what did her brother have that attracted women? Was there something wrong with Jessica’s eyes?
….
The next day.
Forrest secretly took the documents he needed.
When he went downstairs for breakfast, Jerry asked, “Mireya said you found a solution. Is that true?”
“Yeah, I found a breakthrough with Sharon Company,” Forrest answered vaguely. “By the way, I’ve contacted the Childs family. The engagement is off.”
“What?” Mrs. Lynch was stunned for a while before getting angry. “Did they take the initiative to cancel the engagement because they heard about what’s going on with Lynch Corporation?”
“I brought it up myself, and the Childs family agreed.”
Forrest did not mention the two storefronts so as not to upset his parents. He had privately invested in the storefronts anyway.
Jerry was silent, but Mrs. Lynch was furious. “Why did you take the initiative to cancel the engagement? Are you that resistant to getting married? Are you planning to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?”
“Mom, the Childs family wouldn’t agree to the marriage if Lynch Corporation can’t overcome this anyway,” Forrest interrupted in a soft voice. “I just mentioned it yesterday and Mrs. Childs agreed to it very quickly.”
“I knew that the Childs family was snobbish. But you said that our family would be able to tide this through…”
“It’s fine if he doesn’t get married,” Jerry suddenly interrupted. “After Lynch Corporation’s incident, I contacted Mr. Childs several times. I’d understand if he couldn’t help, but he even deliberately ignored my calls. He said he was afraid I would borrow money from him. No matter how good Stacey is, having such parents as in -laws would be troublesome in the future. They might even drag their daughter down.”
Mireya nodded. “The Childs family wouldn’t have agreed to Stacey’s marriage with Forrest if it weren’t profitable. It’d be fine if he likes her, but it doesn’t seem like he does. There’s no need to do this for the sake of repaying a favor.”
“Your son has already agreed to get married. Are you worried that there are no women in Canberra?” Jerry reminded his wife. “You’ve already waited for years. You don’t need to rush it now.”
Mrs. Lynch sighed. She knew that what they said was reasonable, but she thought that she could finally see her son get married. It was quite disappointing.
Forrest kept his head down and ate his breakfast.
After eating, he drove his car to the registry office.
Jessica drove over in a black Bentley. When she came down from the car, she was dressed in light- colored jeans that wrapped around her long legs, a white printed shirt, and a rich green silk shawl. She did not look as sharp and strong as when she was doing business. Even so, her noble aura could not be concealed.
Forrest’s eyes darkened slightly as he walked over with an indifferent face.
“Let’s go.” Jessica turned around and walked inside. However, after taking a few steps, she found that Forrest was not following her. He stood a few steps away, his six feet two body dressed in a suit.
“When will you let Lynch Corporation go?” Forrest looked at her coldly.
“I’ll make the call immediately after we get the license.” Jessica’s bright eyes looked back at him.
“Don’t regret this, Jessica.” Forrest was slightly annoyed by her stare. “Even if you force me to marry you, I won’t like you.”
“…It’s fine. I just want you.” Jessica smiled faintly.
“…”
It was like punching cotton.
Forrest was powerless. It was a feeling he only had when facing Jessica.
“Let’s go.”
Jessica took the initiative to hold his hand.
The two were like an ordinary couple. Today was not a special day, so there were not many people in the hall. Jessica also seemed to have notified them in advance. The clerk was not that surprised when he saw the names on their IDs, but he secretly glanced at them when stamping the certificate.
Soon, they got their marriage license.
Forrest was in a trance for a moment when he saw the marriage license in his hand.
When he came back from studying abroad, he had fantasized too many times about them getting a marriage license. It was only when he heard that she was married that he knew it was no longer possible for them.
Unexpectedly, many years later and after a few twists and turns…
He did not want to think about it anymore and quickly stuffed the license into his pants pocket.
As soon as he turned around, he found Jessica looking down at their wedding photo intently.
A wave of annoyance welled up in his heart. “What are you looking at? It’s not the first time you’ve gotten a marriage license.”
Jessica’s arm stiffened. She slowly put away the license and said, “Forrest, whether you like it or not, you have to accept the fact that we’re married now. I hope you can keep your distance from the opposite s*x in the future. I’m narrow-minded and don’t want to see my husband getting involved with women outside.”
Forrest usually did not like to contact women in private anyway. There were things that he would not do even without her reminder, but he was inexplicably annoyed when he heard her words. “Jessica Snow, you’re someone who has betrayed a relationship before. What right do you have to control me?”
¨C “I’m legally your wife.”
Jessica shook her marriage license and raised her delicate brows. “What’s more, I want to live with you from today onward. Think about whether you want to move to my place or if I should move to yours.”
Forrest was stunned.
Indeed, he had never thought about living with her.
After all, he had always been living with his parents. However, he had previously invested in an apartment, which was not very big. It was only a hundred square feet. He lived there before the Lynch family bought a villa in Canberra.
However, his parents were both in Canberra. If he suddenly moved out alone…
Moreover, his apartment was probably quite small compared to Jessica’s place.
After some time, he asked indifferently, “You want to live together with my parents?”
“Yeah, as long as you don’t mind.” Jessica suddenly smiled vaguely and stared at him provocatively.
She hardly smiled when dealing with business. All of a sudden, her delicate lips curved, and her pretty face seemed gentle.
Forrest’s heart clenched for a moment.
He subconsciously looked away. By the time he noticed that he had lost a grip on himself, he glared at Jessica fiercely.
Jessica was speechless.
He was offended just like that?
Was she such an annoyance to him?
