“Am I such a disgrace?”
Forrest glanced at her indifferently before walking to the door. From the screen, he could see aman ina trimmed suit outside. The man was wearing a pair of glasses. He looked elegant and exuded the aura of a business prodigy.
Harold Lennox.
This name immediately crossed Forrest’s mind. Forrest directly opened the door.
¡®Jessica, I brought you…”
Before Harold could finish his sentence, he instinctively froze the moment he opened the door and saw a strange man in the house.
This was Harold’s first time seeing a man in Jessica’s house aside from Carson. The man was younger than him, very tall, and had a great figure. The man had prominent features and was good-looking. He had a tall nose and an icy gaze. At first glance, he seemed to be of mixed race. Harold quickly swept his gaze over Forrest’s outfit, which included a light-colored shirt and a pair of black pants. However, Forrest’s clothes were not tidy with obvious creases on them. It showed that he definitely had not gotten changed this morning. The man had most probably stayed here since last night.
“You are…”
Harold was boiling with anger. However, his calm face did not betray it. He just seemed to be looking at an insignificant stranger. “Is Jessica around? She’s not well, so 1 personally prepared some breakfast and brought it for her.”
He emphasized the word ¡®personally’.
There was a sense of romance in his words.
“No need, I’ve made her breakfast.”
Having been in the business industry for a long time, Forrest could soon confirm that the man was Harold.
He came over with his homemade breakfast. Forrest was furious. Nevertheless, he understood that if he got furious in front of the other party, it would only make the other party feel content.
Jessica threw a helpless look at Forrest, and her lips twitched. “You’re overthinking it. This is Harold. We’ re just colleagues.”
Those few words alone made Harold break down. He could not believe that she explained on behalf of the man.What did that mean? It meant that she admitted to having gotten married.
Harold tightened his fist on the table. He assumed that Jessica might have numerous pursuers who could be his love rivals, but never in a million years did he expect Jessica would get married to as trange man one day.
He could not accept it at all.
Yesterday, he even dreamed about marrying Jessica, and when they gave birth toa sonora daughter, Snow Corporation might be renamed Lennox Corporation.
At that moment, all his hopes were dashed.
After all, he was a mature man who had experienced a lot of things. Shortly after, an anxious expression washed over his face again. ” Jessica, this isn’t right. Since you’re interested in him, it means he’s extraordinary, but I still have no idea how to address him and what he does for a living.”
With that, Jessica fell silent.
If she told Harold that the man was Forrest Lynch from Lynch Corporation, she was worried that her parents would come over and kick up a fuss today. It would be difficult to resolve the issue with the Lynch family as well.
She immediately turned her eyes to Forrest, seemingly trying to get him to explain the trouble that he himself had caused.
“I have a company, but it can’t compare to Snow Corporation. However, I can guarantee Jessica a luxurious life,” Forrest said impassively. “Iam unlike you, Mr. Lennox, who can work in a large corporation like Snow Corporation.” “…”
Harold felt as if his fist had landed on the cotton. After asking for a long time, all Harold knew was that Forrest had a company, and instead of finding out the answers to other questions, he got teased.
What Forrest meant was that he had a company, whereas Harold was an office worker. Hah.
“I have to thank my dad for that.” Harold maintained an elegant smile on his face. “My dad is a shareholder of Snow Corporation and has been a good friend of Jessica’s dad. By the way, I wonder what your company does. Perhaps we can work together if there’s a suitable project in the future.”
“The nature of our companies is different, so there is no way we can work together.”
“Oh. What you said is making me curious.” Harold raised his brows, but little did he notice Jessica’s impatient gaze.
“Harold, why are you so curious about my husband?” Jessica put down the spoon and said indifferently, “I’ll naturally disclose our relationship when the time is right.”
Harold’s expression froze. “Jessica, we’ve known each other for over ten years. I’m just concerned about you.”
“Thank you for being concerned about my wife.” After Forrest, who was initially irritated, heard Jessica admit that he was her husband, he was no longer angry. “There’s nothing to hide about my company. Do you know Lynch Corporation? The corporation that focuses on construction and theproduction of automotive glass?”
“Lynch Corporation?”
No matter how mentally tough Harold was, he was astounded this time.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, “If I’m not mistaken, there’s only one Lynch Corporation in Canberra. It’s the one that moved from Melbourne. The daughter of the Lynch family used to be Rodney’s first wife.”
“Mr. Lennox, your memory is quite good. The daughter of the Lynch family is my sister.” It was as if Forrest’s indifferent tone had dropped a bomb.
“….”
The air was filled with an eerie silence for a while. Then, Harold suddenly touched his forehead and laughed as though he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.
After he was done laughing, he turned his eyes to Jessica. “Jessica, are you insane?”
“Im not.” On the contrary, Jessica thought that Forrest might have gone insane.
Before yesterday, Forrest shunned his identity. Yet now, he was happy to reveal it publicly. Things had gone utterly out of her control.
Harold rose to his feet with a tense, angry expression on his face. “No, Jessica. I think you’re no longer sensible. Are there no other men in the world that the Snows only want to be with the Lynches? Your parents can’t possibly agree with it. This is absurd.” “How is this absurd? We’ re not related by blood either,” Forrest refuted coldly. “What’s more, this affair is between the Lynches and the Snows. It has nothing to do with the Lennox family.”
If a gaze could kill, Harold must have killed Forrest several times.
Harold turned his gaze to Jessica. “Jessica, I’m saying these things to you only because I treat you as my friend. Don’t let him con you. After all, it’s not easy for you to have come this far.”
After that, he said, “I’ll take my leave now and leave the both of you alone.”
He had to question the Snow family about it when he got back later. He believed that the Snow family would not be able to accept it either.
It exasperated him that all his plans were destroyed.
He had never thought that Jessica would have such poor taste. To think she would be interested in a lowly man from a place like Melbourne but not him.
It was true that Lynch Corporation was developing well. Even so, Forrest was nothing, considering the place he came from.
Moreover, Lynch Corporation would not have come so far if the Lynch family’s daughter had not managed to butter up the prime minister’s son.
Harold did not expect the Lynch family to be so greedy that they even had their son curry favor with Jessica.
It was way too ludicrous.
The moment the door slammed, Forrest snorted. ” How bold of your colleague to slam the door of your house. It seems like he doesn’t only want to be your colleague. He wants to be the owner of this place.”
Jessica frowned. In fact, she was aware of Harold’s intentions, but she did not expose him. After all, they still had to work together in private. Harold was triggered probably because the news was too sudden. It was rare to seea manipulative person like him lose control of himself.
” think you’re quite bold too.”
Now that only the two of them were left, Jessica glanced at Forrest huffily. “Forrest, since you hate me, we should keep our marriage affair between us. By disclosing it, are you trying to complicate things further?”
“Yeah. If we keep it a secret, it’ll be too easy to get married and get a divorce.”
Forrest stared at her coldly. “Are you treating marriage as a game just because you were once married? Jessica, let me tell you that this is my first marriage. Marriage isn’t a joke to me.” Jessica was dumbfounded. “I’m not treating it as a game. I’m just worried that I’ll lose my life if I continue to get along with you. Perhaps it wasa careless decision for us to get married.”
Her last sentence prickled Forrest’s heart like a needle.
He leaped to his feet with his cold but handsome face. “Jessica, listen carefully. Even if you find the decision careless, we’re already married, and nothing in the world can cure regrets. Don’t ever force me to divorce you. If you dare, I’ll go to your old residence and question your parents in front of you. Do you think the Lynch family’s children are pushovers? All the Snows want to bully the Lynches. First, your brother let my sister down, and now, even you want to trick me.”
Jessica raised her head. In the face of Forrest’s furious yet handsome face, she was speechless and helpless. “Who’s the bully now? Forrest, please be reasonable.”
Forrest, who was angry just a second ago, froze when he met her weary eyes.
“I admit that I went too far that day, but I thought_?
“You thought I wronged you, didn’t you?”
Jessica interrupted him. “You picked up Harold’s call when you drove my car, right? You thought I lied to you and went to his house for dinner. You even thought we might’ve done the deed.”
Forrest was momentarily dumbfounded. Indeed, that was what he thought.
