“It’s fine if he doesn’t get married,” Jerry suddenly interrupted. “After Lynch Corporation’s incident, I contacted Mr. Childs several times. I’d understand if he couldn’t help, but he even deliberately ignored my calls. He said he was afraid I would borrow money from him. No matter how good Stacey is, having such parents as in-laws would be troublesome in the future. They might even drag their daughter down.”Freya nodded. “The Childs family wouldn’t have agreed to Stacey’s marriage with Forrest if it weren’t profitable. It’d be fine if he likes her, but it doesn’t seem like he does. There’s no need to do this for the sake of repaying a favor.”“Your son has already agreed to get married. Are you worried that there are no women in Canberra?” Jerry reminded his wife. “You’ve already waited for years. You don’t need to rush it now.”Mrs. Lynch sighed. She knew that what they said was reasonable, but she thought that she could finally see her son get married. It was quite disappointin
“I’m legally your wife.”Jessica shook her marriage license and raised her delicate brows. “What’s more, I want to live with you from today onward. Think about whether you want to move to my place or if I should move to yours.”Forrest was stunned.Indeed, he had never thought about living with her.After all, he had always been living with his parents. However, he had previously invested in an apartment, which was not very big. It was only a hundred square feet. He lived there before the Lynch family bought a villa in Canberra.However, his parents were both in Canberra. If he suddenly moved out alone…Moreover, his apartment was probably quite small compared to Jessica’s place.After some time, he asked indifferently, “You want to live together with my parents?”“Yeah, as long as you don’t mind.” Jessica suddenly smiled vaguely and stared at him provocatively.She hardly smiled when dealing with business. All of a sudden, her delicate lips curved, and her pretty face seemed
Jessica touched the air conditioner and noticed that it was not switched on. She felt warm, and her face was slightly red. “Do you think everyone behaves like you and Freya?”“Haha. Anyway, men are all pretty much the same. You can’t be cold even though he is. Someone needs to take the initiative.”Jessica did not say a word.For now, it seemed that she should be the one taking the initiative.The person she was now married to was Forrest. It did not matter even if she took the initiative…After Jessica called the chairman of Sharon Company, Forrest soon received a call from President Smith. President Smith said a lot and mentioned an inspection. Since it was a misunderstanding the last time, the two companies could still work together.Lynch Corporation resumed cooperation with Inez Corporation as well as other shipping companies.Forrest was filled with mixed feelings.He had long since known that Jessica was brilliant. Not only was she in charge of Snow Corporation, but she
Wedding night…Forrest, who was holding a wine glass, choked. “Ahem.”“President Lynch, are you okay?”His business partner turned his eyes to him. In fact, Forrest had not drunk a lot, but why were his ears so red?“I’m okay.”Forrest leaped to his feet and walked outside, where he asked with his teeth gnashed, “Jessica, have you no shame?”Jessica replied, “Perhaps I’m thick-skinned, so I don’t mind having no shame.”“...”Forrest choked once again.“If you’re not coming back, I’ll have no choice but to look for you at the Lynch family’s villa. If your parents ask, I’ll tell them that I’m looking for my husband.”With that, Jessica hung up.The word ‘husband’ was like a raindrop falling into the lake, creating ripples. Forrest began to feel irritated.He had always disliked drinking when he attended social functions. However, he was filled with such mixed feelings today that he drank quite a lot. As soon as he came out, he began to have double vision.Then, his chauf
Forrest threw Jessica to the bed roughly, causing her slight pain. She even seemed to have suffered a concussion.Before she could come to her senses, Forrest had forcefully torn his shirt open and pressed his body against hers.“Forrest, be more gentle.”However, Forrest was drunk, and having been triggered by the beautiful view right in front of his eyes, he could not hear what she was saying.He, instead, kept asking with an angry tone, “Let me ask you something. Have you ever been with other men, considering that you’re so desperate?“You’ve been going all out to threaten me to marry you so that I can have fun with you, right? Now that I’m having fun with you, are you satisfied?“I’m warning you. Don’t ever dress so provocatively in front of other men. Otherwise, I will never let you off.”“...”His cruel voice rang in Jessica’s ear for a long time. Jessica was sad at first, but she slowly turned numb.She had no idea how long they were at it that night, but she eventually
“You don’t have any autonomy?”Jessica’s lips twitched. “You certainly had full autonomy when you were in bed last night. You acted as you wished. No matter how you humiliated me, I never talked back. Forrest, I’ve never swallowed my pride like that. If I weren’t in love with you, I wouldn’t endure your humiliation toward me.”Forrest was stunned. Then, he pulled a long face. “So should I thank you for loving me? Bear in mind that if you hadn’t forced me, I wouldn’t be treating you like this.”Jessica fell quiet for a while before she said, “Whatever. Anyway, you’re now my husband. Since you claim that I don’t respect and care about your feelings enough, I’ll admit that it was my fault back then and that I’ll change my ways from now on. I’ll perform the duties of a wife, such as making breakfast for you.”With that, she picked up the spatula from the floor. After cleaning it, she went forward to turn on the stove. Just as she was about to flip the sausages, Forrest suddenly clutche
As Jessica watched Forrest pick up his phone and walk to the door, her lips twitched helplessly.That behavior of Forrest… was quite childish.Did that one sentence of hers make him so mad that he wanted to leave without having breakfast?Forrest did not even look at her as he changed his shoes at the door with his head down.The moment he put on a shoe, a sexy figure suddenly hugged him from behind with both her hands pressed to his chest.“Hubby, I was kidding.” The woman’s soft voice came from behind. “Are you sure you don’t want breakfast? You made it with your own effort. If you don’t eat it, it’ll all be mine.”Forrest’s body tensed all of a sudden.In particular, the woman’s delicate body that clung to his and her calling him ‘hubby’ triggered him.“Have some breakfast. You drank so much last night. Your stomach will feel bad if you don’t eat,” Jessica continued to persuade him.“...I’m not eating.”Forrest pulled her hands away and left huffily.The moment the door w
“We’re already married, so it’s only natural to get a child next. I don’t care how resistant you are to me. I have no intention of divorcing you.” Jessica looked at Forrest firmly. “Of course, you can wait till the day we get a divorce.”“You’re unreasonable.”Forrest walked away once again.However, he was flustered and astounded this time.He never expected Jessica to have such a strong desire to give birth to his child.…In Lynch Corporation, a small-scale meeting involving the senior executives was held in a spacious office.Forrest sat on the rightmost end of the coach. His chiseled jawline appeared indifferent and distant as usual. However, today, he was staring at the document in his hand for a long time as though he was absent-minded.“President Lynch… President Lynch.”After being called a few times, Forrest recovered from his musings. He lifted his head, only to find a few senior executives staring at him.The person who called his name was the general manager of t
