Forrest gave it some thought. In the end, he said, “Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after we finish eating.”
He understood his sister’s concerns. His parents might not be in the mood to eat if he talked about it now.
“You…” Mrs. Lynch was disappointed. In order to get information about her daughterin-law as soon as possible, she ate unusually quickly. Even Jerry picked up the pace. Ten minutes later, Mrs. Lynch said, “You can talk now.”
Forrest, who was not done eating yet, had no choice but to put his spoon down. “Mom, I want to bring my wife back here for a meal.”
“Wife?” Jerry and Mireya were both dumbfounded.
Mrs. Lynch was stunned. Then, she glanced at her husband. “Young people nowadays like to call their girlfriends their wives even before getting married. Did you forget that your nephew who’s still in high school even changed his girlfriend’s contact as ¡®Wifey’ after dating her?”
Jerry and Mireya nodded in a daze. However, they found it weird. They did not realize that Forrest was… that kind of person.
“Mom, no. She’s my real wife.” Forrest did not care. He simply said calmly, “We’ve already gotten a marriage certificate in secret.”
Bang.
Mireya, who was about to get some food, lost her grip on her spoon and dropped it on the table.
She looked at her brother, baffled.
It was not just Mireya. Mr. Lynch hit the table and stood up. “What did you say?”
Mrs. Lynch patted her chest. “Forrest Lynch, are you crazy? You got a marriage certificate without saying anything. Did you ask us beforehand? Did you get our permission? Yes, I want you to start a family as soon as possible, but you can’t do that without informing the family first. You’re utterly disrespecting us.”
“Your mom is right,” Mr. Lynch said furiously. “We’re not unreasonable parents. We’re not even asking you to find a woman of similar status. What’s important is that you like her. It’s fine even if her family isn’t very well-off. Your actions this time… are too disappointing.”
“Tell us, what woman did you marry?” Mrs. Lynch’s good mood was utterly ruined. Her son even got a marriage certificate while keeping it a secret from the family. It surely would not be a decent woman. Maybe the woman was exceptionally skillful in seducing men. “She can’t possibly be an improper lady, right?”
“It’s my girlfriend from back when I studied abroad. She’s my first love too.”
Forrest explained, “We planned to get married after returning to Australia back then. However, her family was too high in status. It wasn’t a family that the Lynch family could compare to. She was afraid that her family would hurt me after finding out about our relationship, so she endured the pain and broke up with me. After that, she was forced to get married to a terminally ill man for her family’s benefit. However, not even two years passed when that man passed away. She has been alone all these years. We only met each other again after I came to Canberra. I don’t want to let her pass me by again this time.”
“So, this is her second marriage?” Mrs. Lynch caught the main point. She felt uncomfortable. Forrest frowned. “So what if this is her second marriage? I like her, and she doesn’t have kids. Actually, you guys have been urging me to get married and look for a girlfriend all these years. I’ve tried to interact with other women, but I couldn’t accept them at all. I can’t deceive myself anymore. I might not fall in love with anyone else in this lifetime.”
Mrs. Lynch’s liver hurt from being angered. No wonder their son would get a marriage certificate before telling them.
If she had known early on, she definitely would not have agreed.
“Mom, what’s wrong with having a second marriage?” Mireya suddenly said with a hurt expression, “Your daughter has been married once too. Does that mean I don’t have the right to get married to Ryan?”
(
“
“Err…”
Mrs. Lynch saw her daughter’s disappointed gaze. Her heart tightened. Only then did she realize that her thoughts were too selfish.” Mireya, I don’t mean it that way. A second marriage… is not a big deal, right? It’s not that she wanted to get married twice by choice.”
She spoke dryly. Well, even the prime minister’s wife did not mind her daughter. She should not mind other divorcees. 1
With that mindset, she felt better.
Forget it. Her daughter, who was a divorcee, was now together with Ryan, who had never gotten married before.
Her son, who was still a bachelor, found a woman who was a divorcee. She would just take it as God was making things even. 1 “Mireya, did you know about this from the start?” Mr. Lynch asked sharply all of a sudden.
“I did, and I’ve even met her. But I didn’t know he got married.” Mireya glanced at her brother bitterly. “You did a good job of keeping it a secret.”
“How’s that woman’s character?” Mrs. Lynch asked. “Is she easy to interact with? Also, your brother said that her family’s financial situation is better than ours. Is she from one of the wealthy families of Canberra? I’ve been attending quite a lot of banquets. I might’ve met her before.”
“She has a nice character.” Mireya smiled. “If my brother is with her, he can be a winner in life even without putting in any effort.”
Forrest was speechless. “…”
“She has such great traits.” Mr. Lynch was deep in thought. “Forrest said her husband passed away two years after she got married to him. Why does this story sound so familiar? I think I’ve heard it somewhere before.”
“Is it Jessica?” Mrs. Lynch said, “I heard people talking about it when I went to the Snow family’s house before. She also got married to a terminally ill man.”
Mr. and Mrs. Lynch’s eyes widened. Then, they stared at their son with an angered gaze. “Forrest, don’t tell us that the woman is…”
“Yes, it’s her.” Faced with his parents’ gazes that were about to lose control, Forrest did not have any major changes in his expression.” We’ve already gotten a marriage certificate.”
“Forrest Lynch, just be honest if you want to anger me to death.” Mrs. Lynch grabbed a spoon from the table and threw it at Forrest hard.
Dani, who was savoring her carrot, was frightened and started crying when she suddenly saw Mrs. Lynch behaving like that.
“Mom, what are you doing? Don’t scare Dani.” Mireya immediately hugged Dani and consoled her.
To prevent scaring his granddaughter, Mr. Lynch kept taking deep breaths. “Forrest, are there no other women in this world? You just had to find a member of the Snow family. Haven’t your sister been harmed enough by Rodney’s family? I feel like vomiting whenever I see Jason and his family now.”
“That’s right.” Mrs. Lynch said angrily, “It’s more hateful seeing Jason’s family compared to the Childs couple. If it weren’t for Jason and Wendy making your sister marry Rodney, that scumbag, your sister wouldn’t have become a divorcee. Let’s not talk about things in the past but the things that happened recently. Do you remember how Rodney slandered your sister on the internet? He said she had an affair and betrayed him. Gosh, I’ve never seen such a scumbag.
“I’m telling you this. I’m never becoming inlaws with the Snow family in this lifetime.
Seeing his parents’ agitated expressions, Mireya had to voice out, “Mom, Dad, Rodney’s matter is a separate thing. Actually, aside from Ryan’s contribution, I was able to get a divorce before this because of Jessica’s help. When Rodney slandered me on the internet, it was Jessica who took him away and solved the issue too. Children in the same family aren’t necessarily the same. There’s no need to categorize all of them as the same.”
“You…” Mrs. Lynch looked at Mireya disappointedly. “The Snow family harmed you so badly, yet you’re still putting in good words for them.”
“These are my honest feelings. Besides, it’s fine as long as Brother likes her,” Mireya reminded. “You guys don’t wish for him to be single forever, right?”
“I’d rather he be single forever,” Jerry said furiously. “Mireya, Jason fetches his granddaughter to the Snow family’s manor and we’re okay with that. But you should’ve noticed that ever since Rodney became intellectually disabled, Jason would send the driver over every single time. He never came personally anymore. He might not say anything, but he surely dislikes the Lynch family in his heart. Maybe they even regret letting Rodney marry you back then.”
“That’s right. They don’t care that you were once married to Rodney, but that doesn’t mean that they can accept Jessica getting married to your brother. They might even secretly suspect that your brother is targeting Snow Corporation.”
“That’s why Jessica quit being Snow Corporation’s president for my sake,” Forrest spoke suddenly.
Everyone went silent. Mrs. Lynch could not believe it. “You’re saying that she did that for you…”
“Mom, Jessica and I are no longer young. We don’t want to waste any more time. We only got together because I shamelessly assaulted her when she was drunk. I forced her to get married to me. She might even be pregnant now,” Forrest said coldly. “If the Snow family doesn’t give us their blessing, we can live by ourselves. Nothing else matters as long as we like each other. You know my character. I don’t really care how people look at me anyway.”
Mrs. Lynch widened her eyes.
Her son said he was the one who assaulted the woman. What could she still say?
Mr. Lynch’s expression was stiff. There were flames of fury in his chest, and he felt helpless. He knew his son’s personality better than anyone else.
Forrest stood up. “If you don’t welcome Jessica, I won’t bring her over. We’ll live our own lives. I’ll come back home often to accompany you guys when I have the time.”
Seeing her son walk upstairs, Mrs. Lynch felt especially helpless and powerless. “Wait…” Forrest turned his head. He looked toward his parents expressionlessly.
After meeting each other’s gaze for some time, Mrs. Lynch sighed. “Bring Jessica back if you wish to.”
“You two aren’t allowed to show her unpleasant expressions tomorrow.” Forrest made a deal coldly. “You must treat her like how you treat Ryan.”
Sure enough, her son was like a debt collector. He could anger people to death.
“Forrest, you’re too much,” Mr. Lynch said angrily. “It’s good enough that your mom agreed, yet you’re making many demands.”
“I can’t let my woman be treated unfairly,” Forrest retorted calmly. “By the way, we’re planning to hold a wedding in two months. You can suggest some good venues to me if you have any.”
“Get lost.”
Mrs. Lynch could no longer tolerate it. She felt utterly horrible. Forrest was neglecting his mother after getting a woman.
“That might be better.” Forrest thought about it for two seconds. He went downstairs and headed toward the door.
“Stop right there. Where are you going?” Mr. Lynch called him furiously.
“I’m going to look for my wife.” “Will you die if you don’t see her for a night?” Mr. Lynch almost spat blood.
“Aren’t you unable to leave my mom at night too?” Forrest left after saying that sentence.
