Ryan’s gaze deepened. He went over and gave her a kiss. “Be good. Go and have fun with Dani. I’ll talk to your brother for a while. Never mind that your brother has a low EQ, but he’s also prideful. This is so worrying. If I don’t help out, your mom won’t have to think about getting a grandchild in this lifetime.”“Are you sure my mom won’t be angered to death when she finds out?” Freya asked worriedly. “It takes two to tango in a relationship. If your brother had really let go of the past, he wouldn’t have been single all those years.”Ryan said with a smile, “One of them is your brother, while the other is my cousin. If it were other people, I wouldn’t even be offering my help.”“Yes, yes. You have a high EQ. Why don’t you just start a matchmaking company?”Freya walked away after teasing him. She was too lazy to advise her brother anyway. She was afraid she would die from anger. Ryan took the initiative first. [Forrest, if there are any problems, you can look for my help any
Considering that Jessica was used to being domineering, she disliked being forced.She stood up in exasperation, but she ended up being pressed down by Forrest.“Sit down. Don’t move.” Forrest tried his best not to sound cold. “If you don’t finish your breakfast today, I’ll drag you back from the elevator.”Jessica was calm. She did not move a muscle and just sat there with her cold, pretty face.Forrest brought the breakfast he had prepared to the table. Considering that she was still sick, he prepared a bland meal. There were bowls of chicken and corn soup, cereal, and poached eggs. There were even kiwis, oranges, and tomatoes placed on another plate.He had always prepared breakfast quite well.When he was living abroad in the past, he used to plate his food exquisitely as well.Jessica used to be a fussy person. However, when the two of them were in a relationship, she would finish all the food he made.After many years, Forrest still remembered what she liked to eat.Howe
Forrest took out a pair of slippers from the rack and placed them on the floor. “You’re Jessica’s colleague, right? Come in.”From his behavior, it was as though he was the host of the house.Harold almost failed to control the tense expression on his face.He had no choice but to put on the pair of slippers before he walked in.After spotting Harold, Jessica’s expression was rather unpleasant.She did not expect the person to be Harold. If she had known it earlier, she would not have allowed Forrest to open the door. Considering Forrest’s bad temper, she thought that Forrest would have a row with Harold.She subconsciously threw a glance at Forrest and noticed that he remained indifferent. With that, she let out a sigh of relief.It would be a big problem if Jessica and Forrest’s argument in private involved an outsider. However, since Harold had caught Forrest in Jessica’s house, her relationship with Forrest would probably be exposed soon.“Jessica, are you feeling better?
Jessica threw a helpless look at Forrest, and her lips twitched. “You’re overthinking it. This is Harold. We’re just colleagues.”Those few words alone made Harold break down.He could not believe that she explained on behalf of the man.What did that mean? It meant that she admitted to having gotten married.Harold tightened his fist on the table. He assumed that Jessica might have numerous pursuers who could be his love rivals, but never in a million years did he expect Jessica would get married to a strange man one day.He could not accept it at all.Yesterday, he even dreamed about marrying Jessica, and when they gave birth to a son or a daughter, Snow Corporation might be renamed Lennox Corporation.At that moment, all his hopes were dashed.After all, he was a mature man who had experienced a lot of things. Shortly after, an anxious expression washed over his face again. “Jessica, this isn’t right. Since you’re interested in him, it means he’s extraordinary, but I still h
“...”The air was filled with an eerie silence for a while.Then, Harold suddenly touched his forehead and laughed as though he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.After he was done laughing, he turned his eyes to Jessica. “Jessica, are you insane?”“I’m not.” On the contrary, Jessica thought that Forrest might have gone insane.Before yesterday, Forrest shunned his identity. Yet now, he was happy to reveal it publicly. Things had gone utterly out of her control.Harold rose to his feet with a tense, angry expression on his face. “No, Jessica. I think you’re no longer sensible. Are there no other men in the world that the Snows only want to be with the Lynches? Your parents can’t possibly agree with it. This is absurd.”“How is this absurd? We’re not related by blood either,” Forrest refuted coldly. “What’s more, this affair is between the Lynches and the Snows. It has nothing to do with the Lennox family.”If a gaze could kill, Harold must have killed Forrest several
Jessica raised her head. In the face of Forrest’s furious yet handsome face, she was speechless and helpless. “Who’s the bully now? Forrest, please be reasonable.”Forrest, who was angry just a second ago, froze when he met her weary eyes. “I admit that I went too far that day, but I thought–”“You thought I wronged you, didn’t you?”Jessica interrupted him. “You picked up Harold’s call when you drove my car, right? You thought I lied to you and went to his house for dinner. You even thought we might’ve done the deed.”Forrest was momentarily dumbfounded. Indeed, that was what he thought.“Forrest, I used to think that after we got married, we’d be able to spend every day together and give birth to a child in the future, allowing our relationship to return to how it was back then. However, I’ve overlooked the fact that there’s no trust in our relationship anymore. You don’t trust me at all. You even perceive me as a flirt ever since we broke up.”A touch of sadness appeared in
Forrest was stunned.After Jessica’s words flashed across his mind, his ears turned red in embarrassment.Now that he thought about it, he found himself quite shameless.Although he claimed that he was not interested in her looks, his body said it all. However, he cared about his dignity. How could he say that he was attracted to her body? As such, he had no choice but to shift the blame to her.“Well… I’ll be careful next time.”After a long time, he said in embarrassment.All of a sudden, his attitude had improved, and Jessica could not get used to it. She felt that something about him was off.She rose to her feet. “I-I’m going to work now.”Forrest instinctively clutched her wrist. “With your condition, why can’t you just rest at home?”“No. I need to decide on a project in the meeting today,” Jessica said earnestly. “Snow Corporation has too many subsidiaries and branches. There are too many things I need to deal with. Everyone’s waiting for me.”“But your health–”“Sin
After getting in the car, Jessica fastened her seat belt.A shadow cast over her. Before she could say anything, Forrest locked lips with her.She widened her eyes in shock.That was not the first time both of them kissed after getting married. However, it usually happened in bed when she was disorientated, unlike now… His passionate kiss left her breathless.It was as though they were in the first flush of love.“Forrest…”She pushed his chest away.Instead of getting pushed away, Forrest kissed Jessica more firmly until her phone rang.She tapped the answer button in a panic, and her secretary’s voice sounded. “President Snow, are you feeling better today? Can you come to the office?”“I’m on my way,” Jessica said as her gaze settled on Forrest’s face.The lights in the car were not switched on, and the light from the parking lot outside shone into the car. The man’s prominent features were unclear, but she could see his starry eyes.“Okay. However, you sound weird, Presid
