Jessica could not understand why Forrest would think that she was at another man’s house.She admitted that she had lied to him, but it was all because he tortured her so badly. Anyway, she was back home now.“Say something. Is it because I’ve gotten it right and you can’t refute what I’m saying?” Forrest asked aggressively.“Forrest, you b*stard.” Jessica was too exhausted to argue with him anymore.She slid down the bed with difficulty and used the bedsheet to cover her body. However, her legs were trembling in pain. It felt as though she would pass out the next moment.“Where are you going?”Forrest gripped her wrist. “I’m asking you. Where are you going at this hour? Are you going to look for that man?”“You’re crazy.”Jessica could no longer stand him. Every word of his resembled a knife that pierced through her chest. “Forrest, to you, am I a shameless, despicable woman without a moral baseline? Is it because I forced you to marry me? Please think about it. If I wanted to
Jessica looked at her suitcase on the floor.Deep down, she felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion.After working overnight and entertaining Chairman Lennox, she was met with an accident and drenched in the rain. Instead of getting some rest when she got home, she was tortured for a long time. Not only was she exhausted, but she did not feel good as well.In fact, her health had always been alright. However, she had not had proper rest in the past few days, so she was certain that she was going to fall sick the next day.“Okay. I won’t take my suitcase away, but can I go to the hospital?”Jessica lifted her head and asked him, “Or do I still need to serve you with my bleeding body? I’m sorry, but I’m worried that I’ll die of exhaustion on the bed. You probably won’t feel heartbroken even if I die anyway. But if I die on your bed, you might have to go to jail. If you don’t think for yourself, you should do it for your parents and sister.”She looked at him composedly. In her
…Once Jessica returned to her old house, she texted her secretary to inform her that she would take a day off today and that her secretary could come to look for her at her house if there was anything important.After a shower, Jessica went back to her bed and slept.She did not know how long she had slept when she was awakened by the sound of the doorbell.She sat up with difficulty, only to find that her legs hurt when she bent them. It hurt so much that it felt as though something had tore.When she finally put on her clothes and walked to the door to open it, she saw her secretary, Luna, and Harold.Harold was holding some food in one hand and flowers in another. He asked with concern, “Luna said you're sick, so I came over to visit you. How are you feeling?”As he was speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch Jessica’s forehead.“I’m fine.” Jessica shunned him with a frown.Harold was a little embarrassed with his hand freezing in mid-air. Upon seeing that scene, Luna
Harold studied Jessica for a short moment. Seeing that she insisted, he nodded. “Alright then. But I hope you’ll contact me if there are any problems. You’re the company’s president after all. Nothing can happen to you.”“Mm.”After putting down her signature, Jessica told the secretary to take the documents and leave with Harold. She truly needed a proper rest.…Lynch Corporation.Forrest stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his gaze locked on the never-ending stretch of traffic below. The messy scenes from last time kept replaying in his mind. He felt agony and confusion as he recalled the memories. He was in disbelief that he, who had always been calm and restrained, would be so extreme and crazy last night. He even acted like a lunatic and made Jessica bleed. However, could he be blamed for it?If Jessica did not lie to him, if she had kept her distance from other men, if she did not force him into marriage, he might not have become that way.Neverthele
Forrest pursed his lips together. After some time, he said, “It’s Jessica’s car.”“It’s her? When did you two…” Christian was shocked. He knew Forrest from when they were studying abroad back then. Although they were not in the same course, they had joined the university’s rugby team. Since they were both Australians, they became good friends. After returning to Australia, most of Lynch Corporation’s cases were handed over to Christian to be in charge. He was also one of the witnesses to Forrest and Jessica’s past relationship. Christian would never forget that on the day Jessica got married, he had accompanied Forrest to drink all night.Forrest was so drunk and incoherent. Christian even witnessed Forrest, a man, bawling. After that, Forrest never mentioned that woman again. However, Christian knew that he was thoroughly hurt. Forrest hated Jessica and did not believe in true love or women. That was why he had always been single.“We’re married.” After seeing Christian’s sho
Christian said, “Besides, when I went overseas to attend the university’s anniversary event last year, I bumped into Jessica’s university friend, Ashley. Ashley said it was a pity that you and Jessica broke up. However, Jessica had her reasons too. She’s the eldest young lady of the Snow family. Her fate was destined since she was born. The Snow family gave birth to her, nurtured her, and gave her the best resources. How could she not care about anything at all after graduating? That would be unrealistic. The world of the wealthy is like that. The more you have, the heavier the burden on your shoulders. Aren’t you supporting Lynch Corporation as well?”Forrest’s delicate lips trembled. After graduating, he had never joined any alumni gatherings. He was afraid of going to familiar places as that would arouse his memories. He was afraid the people he knew would mention Jessica. The world was actually pretty small. As Forrest used to date Jessica, many of his friends knew Jessica
“Brother, what are you and Ryan going to talk about that you guys can’t let me in the loop?” Freya was unhappy.“Women shouldn’t meddle in men’s affairs.” Forrest retorted. Freya got furious. “Brother, the way you speak is really hateful. No wonder you’re still single and no woman wants you.”Forrest’s handsome face darkened. Ryan quickly stood in between Forrest and Freya to mediate the situation. “Alright. Forrest, let’s bring this outside.”After walking to the garden, Ryan smiled and said, “Forrest, your words are too straightforward sometimes. Some women can’t take it.”“...”Forrest went silent. He said a lot of rude words last night. Was that why Jessica got angry and wanted to move out?”“Forrest, what’s the matter?” Ryan asked.“Do you know where Jessica stays?” Forrest asked all of a sudden.“Mm?” Ryan widened his eyes in surprise. “Are you looking for her?” “Yes. I have to meet her to discuss some things,” Forrest said annoyedly.Ryan raised his eyebrows and was
Forrest recalled how he treated Jessica last night.He suddenly thought he had indeed gone overboard.“Alright then.” Seeing Forrest’s expression, Ryan thought his goal was achieved.Couples were like that. Forrest might not believe the words that came from Jessica’s mouth. Instead, he would think she was simply eloquent.That was because Jessica had lost all credibility in Forrest’s heart.If it were Ryan, a person who was not involved in the situation, who told Forrest the truth, Forrest might believe him more.Of course, Ryan could have talked about these things in the past. However, it was clearly not the best timing back then.“By the way, do you know Harold Lennox?”Forrest thought of something just as Ryan was about to leave.“Harold?” Ryan raised his eyebrows in astonishment. “I do know him.”“...”Forrest opened his mouth to ask about what was going on between Harold and Jessica. However, he did not know how to start talking about it.Ryan smiled and asked, “Are yo
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
