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
So that was the password to her apartment.Suddenly, Forrest seemed to understand why Jessica was murmuring when he asked her for it.He was not that dull. What did it mean when a woman set his class number and birth date as the password to her apartment?Perhaps other people would not understand the significance behind the numbers, but he did. No one understood the numbers better than he did.If it were in the past, Forrest would doubt that Jessica was unconcerned about him. He would also suspect that she was behaving inappropriately, and he would doubt Ryan’s words.Yet now, he had no doubts at all.Instead, he blamed himself for going too far that day.Indeed, he had gone too far.In the car, Forrest was consumed by guilt as he looked at the numbers. However, his lips curled up into a smile in spite of himself. A moment later, he replied: [Alright.]Meanwhile, Jessica was extremely embarrassed as she looked at the password she had sent.If she had known, she should have
“Mom, you really know nothing.” Lydia rolled her eyes at her mother. “Dad has been trying to matchmake Harold and Jessica. He’s purely interested in her power and wealth. Snow Corporation can never belong to our family if we rely solely on ourselves. Look how well Snow Corporation is doing. If Harold marries Jessica and gets her pregnant, he’ll be able to jump at the chance to take control of Snow Corporation.”Mrs. Lennox then said, “But she’s now married.”“We have to make her get a divorce then.”Mr. Lennox said firmly, “With Forrest’s identity, the Snow family will never accept him. I’m going to look for Jason.”“You want my son to marry a woman who has been married twice?” Mrs. Lennox was mad.“A woman like you knows nothing. By the time Snow Corporation is ours, we can get Harold to divorce her.” Mr. Lennox rolled his eyes at his wife. “Men who want to achieve great things shouldn’t be bothered about such trivial matters.”Mrs. Lennox fell quiet.Harold said, “Dad, I’ll li
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
