Mrs. Lynch shook her head in despair. “Is that still my emotionless, cold son?”
“Yes, it’s him,” Mireya reminded her very solemnly.
Mrs. Lynch glared at her. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I had known about it, I would’ve kept a closer eye on the birth certificates…”
“Mom, you can’t possibly truly mind that Jessica is in her second marriage, right?” Mireya interrupted her and asked with a sad gaze.
“Of course not.” Mrs. Lynch denied it right away.
“That’s fine, then.” Mireya nodded. “You mustn’t disdain her. Ryan and Jessica are close to each other. Although they aren’t biological siblings, their relationship is almost like they are. If you mind that Jessica is in her second marriage, maybe Ryan will question what right our family has to dislike his cousin for being in her second marriage when they don’t even dislike me for being in the same situation. If so, my marriage might…”
She did not continue the rest of her sentence. She simply glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Lynch aggrievedly.
Mrs. Lynch’s heart sank. “Don’t worry. I just don’t like Jason and his wife. I think they failed to educate their son.”
“Mom, Dad, I knew that you guys were openminded.” Mireya hugged Mrs. Lynch’s arm with a smile. “Don’t overthink it. Jessica is pretty nice. It’s just that she doesn’t talk much and doesn’t really know how to express herself. Actually, Ryan told me a lot about her. She didn’t have it easy either. Born in a family like the Snow family, she didn’t even have the right to pursue her happiness and could only get married to a terminally ill man in a political marriage.”
“I know. I’m not that heartless.”
Mrs. Lynch sighed. She had met Jessica a few times before. Although that lady was a little cold, she was polite.
Despite the grandeur of wealthy families, women in those families were destined not to be able to make decisions about their marriage.
Mr. Lynch was speechless. His wife went softhearted too quickly. She should have held on for at least one night.
Forrest went back to his place.
When he opened the door, he got a whiff of the smell of instant noodles. “Why did you come back…” Jessica raised her head. Before she could finish speaking, the instant noodles in front of her were taken away and thrown into the trash can by Forrest.
Forrest stared at Jessica with a grim expression. “Didn’t you say you’d be eating at a social function tonight?”
“After some thought, I decided not to go. I turned it down.” Jessica blinked.
“You could’ve called me or ordered food delivery.” Forrest told her off huffily, “Worst comes to the worst, you could’ve hired someone to cook for you or return to the Snow family’s old residence. You’re already an adult. When I wasn’t around, you chose to have instant noodles.”
“That’s too troublesome. Making a call to order food is troublesome too. I even need to go downstairs and pick it up.”
Jessica’s pretty brows revealed a trace of fatigue. Having worked the entire day, she felt lazy. Sometimes, she had to get on a conference call in the middle of the night because of her overseas company, so she hardly had time. Moreover, she had been busy with the handover process in the past few days. As Carson was still inexperienced, he could not handle a lot of matters. As she guided him step by step, she nearly wanted to tell him off.
After returning home, she just wanted to take a comfortable bath and have a quiet rest. It was impossible for her to return to the old residence to have dinner because her parents would surely nag her.
Other people only knew that she was resolute in public. Little did they realize how lazy she was in private.
Forrest darted an impassive look at her for a while. Then, he turned around and walked into the kitchen to turn on the stove. He fried an egg and cooked some proper noodles for her.
“Thanks, hubby.”
She hugged Forrest from behind with her after -shower fragrance wafting into his nose, causing him to tighten the spatula in his hand. “You can return to the Lynch family’s house with me to have meals next time.”
“Have you told your parents about it?” Jessica showed a hint of nervousness. “Are they alright with it?”
“Mm. I said that I assaulted you when you were drunk, so I have to be responsible.” Forrest threw a knowing glance at her. “But I didn’t tell them that you forced me to marry you.”
“You wanted to take the chance to bully me when I was drunk anyway,” Jessica said glumly. “After you had a hearty meal with Ryan the other day, you humiliated me terribly. My legs ached for several days.”
Once she mentioned the matter, Forrest immediately recalled it.
“Some men satisfy themselves by criticizing a woman for misbehaving and seducing them. Forrest, are you skillful at this?”
“What do you mean?” Forrest’s cold face was filled with bewilderment.
Jessica laughed. “It basically means you’re a scumbag.”
Forrest was speechless.
This issue was too serious. Forrest got a fright and promptly turned back with his dark, handsome face. “I’m not.”
“Don’t do that again. Otherwise, I’d think that you meant it.” Jessica lifted her head and said seriously with her eyes fixed on him, “You’re like this every time. Even when I don’t do anything, you’d suddenly pounce on me, kiss me, and end up laying the blame on me. It’s similar to those evil people who get arrested by the police. They don’t reflect on their behavior but blame women for exposing their legs under their skirts instead.”
Her words made Forrest’s ears turn a little hot.
He was cooking just now. The next moment, he started reflecting on himself deeply.
At night, he hugged and kissed her on the bed. After he kissed her for a while, his handsome face suddenly flushed red. “Jessica, it was my fault back then. I wanted to be with you, yet I refused to admit that I was attracted to you. That’s why I always shifted the blame to you. I was wrong.”
“President Lynch, it’s rare that you’re this frank.” Jessica lay on the bed with her hands wrapped around his neck. She was wearing a sexy sleeping gown with her long, black, and slightly messy hair on the bed. Her face had turned red from the kiss.
The scene affected Forrest greatly.
Jessica soon noticed it and let out a low laugh. “You want it, huh?”
“It’s okay, I’ll take a cold bath.”
Knowing that Jessica’s wound had not healed, Forrest turned around and wanted to enter the bathroom.
“Don’t leave.”
Jessica pulled him. “Do you remember how I helped you when I was on my period back then?”
All of a sudden, Forrest’s mind was burning. Of course, he remembered.
Jessica was cold in front of other people. No one knew how passionate she was when she faced him at night.
“Are you willing to do it?” “Why not? I could even do it before getting married to you. Now that we’re married, I’m definitely willing to do it.” While biting her lip, Jessica pulled him back. “Just make sure you’re not that rough again next time.” “I won’t, I swear.”
Forrest did not notice that his cold face seemed to melt under the orange light. His handsome face was red, and his eyes were so gentle that they could overwhelm one.
After that, he hugged her firmly and kissed her. From his gaze, he appeared to wish he could stuff her into his chest. Only after a long time did he ask with a hoarse voice, “Jessica, how do you want the wedding to be? I can prepare it for you.”
Jessica was dazed before she thought about it seriously. “I want… a mini wedding. I don’t want to have many guests. Just some of our family members will do. It’s also fine with just the two of us. It’s best to have our wedding in a church overseas and make it simple.”
“Wifey, I feel grievously wronged.” Forrest suddenly said with a frown, “You had a grand first wedding, but this will be my first wedding.”
The man looked aggrieved, which made Jessica chuckle. “I’m sorry, but I just feel that a wedding is very troublesome, tiring, and complicated. But it’s up to you to decide how you want it to be as long as you’re the groom.”
Forrest hugged her tightly with satisfaction. “I have an idea. We can get married in the city we used to study in. Let’s go to the church near our college. Do you still remember that we came across someone’s wedding when we went there during summer? At that time, I had a dream, which was to have such a wedding with you. We should go back to where it all started.” “I do remember.”
She had always remembered it.
Jessica closed her eyes with a smile.
It turned out that the two of them had not forgotten certain things.
Although a long time had passed and the two of them were no longer students, what they wanted was still the same.
They did whatever they wanted to.
Forrest decided not to sleep. He sat up and discussed the matter regarding booking flight tickets with her.
Who said a 30-year-old man and woman could not hold a spontaneous wedding?
After they decided on the wedding, Jessica was in a good mood the next day.
Nevertheless, the Lennox family was not that nice.
The matter involving the Childs family, in particular, was getting more serious. In the morning, Jason asked Jessica over to his office. “Was it your decision to get Vice President Ling to fire Porter?”
Porter Lennox was Chairman Lennox’s biological nephew, who had been holding an important position in Snow Corporation. When he left, Harold was at his wit’s end.
Chairman Lennox was so anxious that he personally headed to the Snow family’s old residence early in the morning.
“Dad, Vice President Ling said that the senior management in the technology company under Snow Corporation needs to be restructured. Everyone agreed on it after some discussion.” Jessica said indifferently, “Of course, this doesn’t have anything to do with me. Now that I’m going to leave, the changes in the company have nothing to do with me.”
