She was a little gloomy. However, now that things had come to this point, there was no turning back for her.
“I do mind.” After relieving his tension slightly, he said coldly, “I have my own apartment that isn’t very big. It’s only a hundred square feet, which could be too small for you.”
“I dislike living in a big house as it feels too empty,” Jessica said. “Tell me the passcode. I’ll move there tonight.”
Forrest was filled with mixed emotions. “I’ll text it to you later. You may contact Sharon Company first. Lynch Corporation’s issue can’t be dragged on further.”
“Alright.” Jessica nodded.
“I still have something to deal with. I’ll take my leave first.” Upon seeing that she had agreed, Forrest pursed his thin lips and strode away.
If he continued to stay there, he would have no idea how to get along with her.
Watching him leave without turning back, Jessica let out a self-deprecating laugh helplessly.
After Forrest got in the car, Ryan gave Jessica a call with a trace of joy in his voice. “So, how did things go? Have you managed to force him to marry you?”
“I just got the marriage license.” Jessica gave a strained smile. “Now that I’ve forced him to do this, I’m guessing he hates me a lot. Forrest is an arrogant person.”
“Not really.”
“What do you mean?” Jessica was curious.
“I’ve tried coaxing Mireya. Previously, I incited her to ask her brother whether he could get Cate to solve Lynch Corporation’s issue, but Forrest rejected.”
Jessica was stunned. “He dislikes owing anyone a favor. That’s normal.”
“Hah. When one is driven into a corner, how can one be bothered about owing someone a favor? Which company doesn’t owe people favors? What’s more, his sister and Cate have a close relationship. If he had asked Cate for help, he could’ve solved the company’s problem without having to marry anyone. No matter how arrogant a person is, they would’ve agreed to it. In my opinion, he was just willing to go through with the marriage.”
Jessica’s heart raced madly in spite of herself. However, she soon pulled herself together. “That’s impossible. He has always been resistant to me.”
“Perhaps he has been acting opposite to his feelings,” Ryan said with a grin.
Upon hearing his words, Jessica became confused. “So… now that we’re married, what should I do next?”
“It’s simple. Now that both of you are going to live together, use your beauty to seduce him.” Ryan chuckled. “Since you both are married, you can’t always dress in black like how you did in the Snow family’s residence back then. The color is too dull. When you’re at home, you should dress sexily as very few men can resist it.”
Jessica touched the air conditioner and noticed that it was not switched on. She felt warm, and her face was slightly red. “Do you think everyone behaves like you and Mireya?”
“Haha. Anyway, men are all pretty much the same. You can’t be cold even though he is. Someone needs to take the initiative.”
Jessica did not say a word.
For now, it seemed that she should be the one taking the initiative.
The person she was now married to was Forrest. It did not matter even if she took the initiative…
After Jessica called the chairman of Sharon Company, Forrest soon received a call from President Smith. President Smith said a lot and mentioned an inspection. Since it was a misunderstanding the last time, the two companies could still work together.
Lynch Corporation resumed cooperation with Inez Corporation as well as other shipping companies.
Forrest was filled with mixed feelings.
He had long since known that Jessica was brilliant. Not only was she in charge of Snow Corporation, but she also had power over Snowden.
Nevertheless, he did not expect her to be this brilliant.
This indirectly told him that it was easy for her to let Lynch Corporation off, but it was also easy to make things difficult for his company.
He surrendered to his fate and sent his apartment address and passcode to her.
…..
Meanwhile, Jessica got off from work early after she turned down an invitation to a social function. It was rare that she did not have to work overtime.
She was not in a hurry to head to Forrest’s apartment. Instead, she went to a nearby shopping mall to choose a few sets of nightwear and casual clothes.
She was wearing a mask. While choosing the nightwear, the salesperson recommended a few types. “Beautiful lady, do you want to try this nightdress? It’s made of silk. Now that summer is approaching, you’ll definitely feel cozy in this.”
Jessica shot a look at a black nightdress. The dress was short and had a deep V-neck.
There was also another pair of champagne-colored nightwear, which was quite s**y as well.
Her cheeks were burning. After some time, she nodded.
Upon noticing that she was ready to splurge, the salesperson recommended a few sets of undergarments to her as well.
When Jessica came out with the shopping bag, her face was hot. Luckily, she was wearing a mask.
Ever since she broke up with Forrest when she was 22, her life had been free of desire. At that moment, she felt as if she was alive.
It appeared as though she had returned to the period when she was in the first flush of love.
Despite feeling rather nervous and confused, she was really eager for it.
After arriving at Forrest’s apartment, she entered the passcode and moved in. It looked like it had been a while since someone last stayed here. The house felt stuffy, and the floor was covered in dust.
She opened the window and mopped the floor, only to realize that the sky had darkened.
She glanced at the time, which showed 6:30 p.m.
She called Forrest. “When are you coming back?”
It was quite noisy on the other end. After hearing her voice, Forrest was stunned for a few seconds. “Are you at my place?”
“Duh.”
Forrest frowned. Given that she was a workaholic, he thought that she would not return until late at night. “I’m attending a social function outside.”
“When are you coming back?” Jessica asked directly.
Forrest snorted. “I didn’t say I’ll be going over tonight.”
“No way.” Jessica bit her lip as a sign of disagreement. “It’s our… wedding night. You must come back.”
¨C Wedding night…
Forrest, who was holding a wine glass, choked. “Ahem.”
“President Lynch, are you okay?”
His business partner turned his eyes to him. In fact, Forrest had not drunk a lot, but why were his ears so red?
“I’m okay.”
Forrest leaped to his feet and walked outside, where he asked with his teeth gnashed, “Jessica, have you no shame?”
Jessica replied, “Perhaps I’m thick-skinned, so I don’t mind having no shame.”
“…”
Forrest choked once again.
“If you’re not coming back, I’ll have no choice but to look for you at the Lynch family’s villa. If your parents ask, I’ll tell them that I’m looking for my husband.”
With that, Jessica hung up.
The word ¡®husband’ was like a raindrop falling into the lake, creating ripples.
Forrest began to feel irritated.
He had always disliked drinking when he attended social functions. However, he was filled with such mixed feelings today that he drank quite a lot.
