At that moment, Mrs. Lynch happened to walk out and caught Jessica’s action. She shouted in shock, “Are you pregnant?”
Jessica was bewildered.
Mireya, who deliberately got off from work early today, heard it too. She was surprised. ” Jessica, are you pregnant? That’s wonderful. I’m going to be an aunt.”
“Are you pregnant?” Dazed and puzzled, Forrest looked down. There was a hint of anticipation in his dark eyes.
Jessica’s mouth twitched, other people may not know if she was pregnant, but did he have no idea too?
If it were not her first time visiting the Lynch family, she would have glared at Forrest.
“No. I had an upset stomach just now, so I touched it.” She simply told a lie.
Mrs. Lynch instantly became disappointed. It turned out that she had misunderstood.
Although she had not completely resigned herself to the fact that Jessica was her daughter -in-law, she would still be fond of Jessica if the latter had a child.
Ever since Mrs. Lynch moved to Canberra and many of her relatives were not around, it would be rather quiet without Dani’s company. If not, she would not have urged her son to get married.
“You scared me. Here I was, thinking that both of you are progressing so quickly,” Mireya said with a grin.
Forrest frowned and asked with a low voice, ” Since you have an upset stomach, do you want to go for an ultrasound scan?”
“…No need. Perhaps I’m just a little hungry.” Jessica had no choice but to continue lying.
“Let’s go in and eat something.” Forrest thought it was probably because she was busy with work at noon and did not have a proper meal. Hence, he held her hand and walked into the villa.
Jessica quickly greeted Mrs. Lynch and Mr. Lynch. “Hi, Mrs. and Mr. Lynch.”
“They’re not strangers anymore. They’re your dad and mom.” Forrest reminded her with an impassive look and tone, as though he was describing the weather today.
Knowing his personality left Mrs. Lynch, Mr. Lynch, and Jessica, who were all in the living room, feeling awkward.
He should, at least, give them some breathing space instead of expecting Jessica to call his parents ¡®Dad’ and ¡®Mom’ as soon as she entered the villa.
Mireya was particularly speechless. After rolling her eyes at her brother, she chuckled to ease the atmosphere. “That’s right, since both of you are married, I should call you Sister-in- law from nowon.”
Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch found it strange. After all, Mireya and Jessica were relatives, and Mireya used to address Jessica the same way as Rodney did.
Yet now, Jessica had become Mireya’s sister-in- law.
Alas, this relationship…
“Sister-in-law, when did you marry my brother?” Curious, Mireya started the topic.
“Last week.” Forrest was worried that his parents would figure something out. After that, he took a plate and opened a packet of biscuits. “Eat some of these to fill your stomach first. Mom, is dinner ready?”
Speechless, Mrs. Lynch fixed her eyes on her obsequious son, thinking that her eyes were deceiving her. Her son had always been as cold as ice. Even in the summer, she would not have to switch on the air conditioner whenever he was by her side. “It’s not even 6: 00 p.m. yet. The servants have just started preparing the food in the kitchen.”
“I’m not that hungry anyway. I’ll just munch on some snacks.” Jessica promptly took a biscuit and ate it.
“You can finish all of them.” Forrest reminded her resolutely and even took a plateful of lychees.

Jessica looked at him silently. Was it a good idea to stuff herself with food on her first visit? What was more, they were still not too fond of her as a daughter-in-law. Even if she was a Wonderwoman, she knew when to keep a low profile.
Forrest’s eyes lit up with realization when he noticed that she was quiet. Then, he looked down and peeled the lychees skilfully.
He remembered that she disliked having the sticky sensation on her fingers when she ate fruits. Sure enough, that habit others was still the same as before.
Although he remained cold, he exuded an affection aura. The Lynch family could not bear the sight of his behavior.
Mireya was dumbfounded. She had always thought that her brother treated her quite well, but by the look of things now, she seemed like an adopted sister to him.
Even Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch were at a loss for words.
Seeing Forrest’s obsequious behavior, what else could they say?
If they messed up, they might lose their son. As such, there was nothing they could do.
After some time, Mrs. Lynch forced a smile and said, “Jessica, I didn’t knowyou were Forrest’s classmate. You’ve never mentioned it before.”
Jessica hurriedly swallowed the lychee and was about to answer. However, Forrest was worried that she would not be able to answer the question, so he instantly said, “Mom, I’ve decided to have a wedding with Jessica in the States next month. It’ll be held in the city where we studied, and I hope you’ll approve of it.”
The jump of the subject caught Mrs. Lynch by surprise.
Mr. Lynch furrowed his brows. “Aren’t you having it in the country?”
Forrest said, “That place has a special significance to both Jessica and me. Then, I’ll book flight tickets for you and the other relatives.”
Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch did not know what to say.
The elders would definitely want the wedding held in the country. Mrs. Lynch spent the last night looking for a good hotel in the country, but now, she did not feel like they were not involved in it at all.
As soon as Jessica noticed what was happening, she said in a gentle voice, “My relationship with Mireya and Forrest is quite complicated, so it’s better to have our wedding overseas low-key.”
The reminder instantly reminded Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch of their odd predicament.
They had forgotten the issue.
“That’s fine.” Mr. Lynch nodded, and at the same time, he felt relieved.
To tell the truth, he was quite intimidated by Jessica. Her presence was so much stronger than Jason’s that she made him feel like he was sitting and talking with the prime minister’s wife.
However, upon hearing Jessica’s approachable tone, he was relieved.
Mrs. Lynch let out a light cough. “But your parents…”
She did not continue. However, everyone understood her. Forrest turned his gaze to Jessica.
Jessica tucked her hair behind her ear. “I’ll persuade my parents to attend our wedding. If they’re reluctant to, so be it. I’ll take care of them when they’re sick, but I won’t sacrifice my happiness in return.”
Those words were not only meant for the Lynch family. Most importantly, they were meant for Forrest.
After Forrest heard what she said, his dark eyes twitched, and he held her hand tightly. It looked like he had no one else but her in his eyes.
Mrs. Lynch and Mireya could not stand the sight of it.
Those who knew nothing would think that the couple had been forced to separate for many years.
As the head of the family, Mr. Lynch had no choice but to say, “since you and Forrest both married, we can only wish you both a wonderful life together from now on. We’re not narrow-minded people anyway.”
“Thanks, Dad.” Jessica flashed him an inviting smile.
Mr. Lynch suddenly shuddered before he nodded.
That was good too. If Lynch Corporation’s business partners learned that Jessica was his daughter-in- law, they would be extremely envious of him.
Seeing how shameless her father was, Mireya facepalmed herself at the side. He was just lamenting with her mother last night, thinking of a way to separate the couple.
Yet, he was a completely different person today. How two-faced!
Nevertheless, it was understandable. If she were in his shoes, she would not dare to oppose the couple as well.
Hence, the meal was surprisingly peaceful.
After getting along with Jessica, Mrs. Lynch realized that her daughter-in-law was not that scary, she was polite, and her eyes beamed.
Mrs. Lynch was initially concerned that her son would get a wife who behaved the same as he did or even more arrogant. However, it hit her now that she was overthinking it.
After the meal, Mrs. Lynch said, “Jessica, look at how lively our house is. The third floor is Forrest’s, and it was renovated with his wife in mind, so please come over and stay whenever you’re free.”
