Jessica ignored the changes in him. Since she was injured, he could not force her off anyway. “Look how rough your face is. If you don’t use the products, you might become old and ugly. Watch my steps. First, use some water, and then apply this…”
She bent over and applied the product to his face.
The woman’s hand was soft and smelled nice. When she lowered her head, he could vaguely see the curves underneath her pajama shirt. Forrest felt as though his body was on fire.
He wanted to push her away, but who would not enjoy that scene?
No wonder many old men in his company liked to get pretty young ladies todoa massage for them. Ahem, of course, he had never done it. After Jessica had applied the products, she sat up, but Forrest did not allow her to leave. Instead, he tugged on her arm and kissed her as they fell onto the bed.
That night, Forrest was like melting ice. Although they did not do it, they seemed to have made up for the wedding night, and he felt that the kiss was never enough.
The next day, Forrest went to his office after sending Jessica. When he arrived at Lynch Corporation, everyone in the secretary’s room could sense the change in him.
“Why do I feel like President Lynch was particularly gentle when he looked at me this morning? He wasn’t icy-cold as usual.” “What? Were your eyes deceiving you?”
“You’re the one who’s out of your mind. Didn’t you notice the glow on President Lynch’s cold face? It must be skincare.” “Damn. Did President Lynch wake up on the wrong side of the bed? I can’t believe he’d care for his skin.”
“I’m sure President Lynch has a girlfriend.” “….”
An employee just so happened to be sending a document to the secretary’s room and overheard the conversation. Soon after, the news traveled to the senior executives of Lynch Corporation.
Even Jerry heard about the matter from his secretary. Coincidentally, Forrest had come to report his work to Jerry, who then looked his son over for a while. Although he had not seen his son for only a few days, he felt that Forrest was somehow different. As his father, Jerry could sense that his son was not as cold and stern as he used to be, even though he still maintained a cold expression.
“Dad, President Watson has agreed to renew the contract with us, and we’ve set the price, which is slightly cheaper than last year. Do you want to take a look at the contract-“
“No need. You handle the company’s matters better than I do, so you can decide on your own.” Jerry waved his hand and asked with a laugh, ” Are you still not going to come home to sleep?”
“Today is President Callan’s birthday…” Forrest held back.
“It seems like you’re serious this time.” Jerry nodded. “But why didn’t you mention having met a girl you’re interested in when you decided to marry Stacey earlier? Did you only meet the girl recently, or have you known her for a long time?”
After some thought, Forrest decided to explain himself a little to his father. “She was my girlfriend when I studied abroad. We broke up after returning home, but we’ve kept in touch on and off for the last two years…”
Jerry got the point but was quite surprised. He did not expect his son to be so loyal. “So you didn’t date or get married over the years only because you couldn’t get over your first love, huh?”
“Yeah.” Forrest nodded in acknowledgment. “Alright then.” Jerry did not ask further. ” What matters is that your girlfriend has a clean family background and is easy to get along with. Other conditions come next. Since you’ve known her for so long and confirmed your relationship, bring her home soon and get engaged to her. You can’t have her stay with you without being in a proper relationship. Pick a time and let us meet with your girlfriend’s parents.”
“I know.” Forrest’s thin lips moved. He wanted to tell his father the truth so badly, but he was afraid that the latter had not braced himself for it yet.
Should Forrest… wait first?
Should he only bring Jessica home after she got pregnant?
When Forrest returned to the office, he dialed Mireya’s number. “Can you make yourself available this afternoon? I need your help.” “Oh, God. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? I can’t believe you’ re asking me for help.” Mireya sounded astonished. “Choose a pair of rings for me,” Forrest said directly. He had spent a long time choosing the rings, but there were too many styles of rings to choose from that he could not decide. What was more, he was sure that he had poor taste.
On the other end, Mireya screamed in excitement, “Whoa. Are you going to propose to Jessica?”
“….”
Forrest furrowed his brows. “As a girl, you should be elegant.”
“Let me be. Anyway, I don’t behave like this in front of Ryan.” Mireya snorted. “Having said that, your progress is quick. My sister-in-law was still Stacey the other day, and now, it’s a different one. I wonder who said you didn’t like her anymore? Do men like to have eggs on their faces?”
“Are you available or not?” Forrest’s voice gradually turned icy.
“Yes, yes. I’ve never seen people beg this way.” Mireya teased him in a strange manner. ” You can come and pick me up at 1:00 p.m. I’m also available during lunch break.”
“Okay.”
After lunch, Forrest drove to Freycatheli to pick her sister up.
“Forrest, can you tell me your budget for the rings?” Mireya asked after getting in the car. “There’s no limit,” Forrest said nonchalantly.
Mireya’s pretty face instantly lit up with admiration. “Will you buy the rings even if they cost a few hundred million dollars?” “Yeah.”
“…”
Mireya darted a look at the pink diamond in her hand, which Ryan gifted her. Suddenly, she felt a great admiration for Jessica. “Forrest, why are you suddenly treating Jessica so well? I heard she resigned from the position of the president yesterday. Is that true?”
“Yeah.” Forrest kept quiet for a few seconds before he added, “Her parents have found out about our relationship, and she left Snow Corporation because of me.”
“Oh, God.” Now, Mireya was impressed. “Is Jessica a fool? She must be out of her mind to abandon Snow Corporation for a man.
Doesn’t she know that career is something she should rely on at this age? How senile of her.” Forrest was speechless.
Her Post-White House Destiny Is Even Worse Than The Last 4 Years Having sensed her brother’s gloomy gaze, Mireya pouted. “I’m telling the truth.”
“Ryan also gave up on a great position in the executive council because of you, didn’t he?” Forrest mocked. “I guess he was senile too.” Mireya’s mouth twitched. Were they trying to hurt each other now?
“Forrest, drop it. It’s all because we, the Lynch siblings, are charming.” Mireya winked cheekily. “Isn’t that right? Thanks to our parents’ genes, the Snow family is deeply attracted to us.”
Forrest could not be bothered about her. He simply started the car and took her to the biggest mall in Canberra.
In the end, Mireya chose a pair of diamond rings, a necklace, and a pair of earrings for him.
When Forrest was paying, Mireya became envious. “Forrest, can I choose one?”
“Yes, but it can’t exceed 100 thousand dollars,” Forrest said indifferently.
It made Mireya upset. “Forrest, I’m your biological sister, yet you don’t mind buying Jessica something worth 10 million dollars. You’re too much.”
“Can’t you buy it on your own?” Forrest argued impassively. “I need to support my woman, so I can’t just spend money on you. Go and look for Ryan.”
Mireya did not feel like talking as she felt sour. It was as though her brother did not belong to her alone anymore.
At last, she surrendered to her fate and chose a necklace.
After choosing one, Forrest took her to the women’s clothing department. “Since you have great taste, pick out some clothes and shoes for Jessica.”
Mireya was at a loss for words.
Without Forrest noticing, she secretly took a picture of him and sent it to Ryan. [Never did I think that the man who solely belonged to me would one day take me here to pick out clothes, shoes, and jewelry for another woman. Boo-hoo.]
Ryan: [Your brother?]
Mireya: [Smart. I never realized that my brother was so generous to women.]
Ryan: (Don’t worry. I’ll bring you there to buy some tomorrow. ]
Mireya: [My brother bought Jessica a pair of diamond rings worth 60 million dollars.] Ryan: [Ahem. That’s quite costly. Why don’t you buy one for me?]
Mireya: [Get lost!]
Ryan: [Babe, don’t worry. I definitely ask for a ring worth 60 million dollars. I just want one that costs six thousand dollars. Look how great Jessica’s net worth is. However, I’m different. I have a low net worth, and I’m easy to support.]
Mireya: [Fine. [ll think about it.]
“Come pick out some clothes for me.” Forrest suddenly walked over. When he saw his sister holding her phone in delight, he knew she was chatting with Ryan.
“Can’t you pick them?” Mireya rolled her eyes at him. “Also, you can bring Jessica along.” “She’s not keen on shopping for clothes.” Forrest paused for a moment before he added, “Her clothes, skincare products, and jewelry are usually sent over by the mall.”
oo Upon hearing that, Mireya silently admired Jessica for a few seconds. Then, she felt sad, wondering why no one sent her anything. “Forrest, since you know she has so many clothes, why are you buying her more? You shouldn’t waste money.”
“It’s alright. She’ll wear the clothes I buy for her, and she can wear a different outfit every day so that they don’t repeat,” Forrest said indifferently. That was his dream when he was younger. However, back then, he had to work and study at the same time because he was poor. Now, things were different for him. Mireya darted a shocking glance at him.
Her brother used to view women as air and was so unromantic. She never thought that her brother would pamper his wife.
Sure enough, even men, albeit cold, could be very different when they were in a relationship.
She could not understand why he used to be so cold and harsh to Jessiace when he was, in fact, in love with her. Was there a need to behave like that?
Once Forrest had gotten everything, he sent his sister back to the office and then brought all the purchases home.
