Chapter 2531

Author: Shallow South
Under Forrest’s dark gaze, Jessica felt awkward. “What are you trying to say?”

“Did you really… resign?” Forrest asked with a hoarse voice.

“Mm. I’m currently handing over my job to someone else. After two days, I won’t need to go to work anymore.”

Jessica fastened the seat belt. Then, she noticed that the gaze of the man beside her became even more unstable. “In the future, you…”

After pausing for a moment, Forrest pursed his thin lips in annoyance. “Did you actually resign because of me?”

“...”

At the sight of his distressed look, Jessica somehow found it amusing. Forrest had asked the same question numerous times today. “Yeah. After my parents learned about it, they called me over and gave me a piece of their mind. Considering my identity, they might think that they should be the ones deciding on what kind of man I should marry. They were afraid that I would be deceived because I’m the president of Snow Corporation, so I resigned straight away.”

Forrest was astounded for quit

    Would Forrest have given up so easily?He would not.When he was young, he put relationships as his top priority despite his incompetence in saying honeyed words.He felt that no one could separate a couple who was truly in love with each other.When he thought about it carefully, he realized that Jessica was more mature and sensible than he was back then.“Tell me. After you were married… did he treat you well?”Forrest suddenly gripped her hand tightly with his eyes burning in the dark.This question had been lingering in his mind for what seemed like ages.He had always been jealous of that person. He did not even want to hear that person’s name. At this point, he personally brought it up instead.Jessica was stunned. “Jordan was fine. He was a gentle and polite person. But when I married him, he was already in poor health and bedridden. He had recovered for two months, but he caught a cold again when winter came. Then, he passed away in less than two years. His family memb

    Boom.As though hot oil had been poured onto her face, Jessica’s face burned. “What a pervert.”“I’m a pervert who acts opposite to my feelings,” Forrest admitted. “Although I said no, my actions were honest. Jessica, you won. Regardless of whether you were the one who ditched me first, I’ve never forgotten about you. You’ve been married once, but I’ve never been with any other woman. Ever since I met you, I’ve been suffering a loss.”Jessica’s gaze subconsciously turned gentle. “What did you call me back then? A second-hand item. You looked down on me. You said that women who pursued you were worthless and that you’d rather not have met me.”“...”It was a real slap in Forrest’s face.Why did women have such great memories?After a long time, he said hesitantly, “I’ve always been someone who acts opposite to my feelings, and you know that.”The man’s eyelashes lowered, feeling aggrieved.Subsequently, his ice-cold face changed into one of an innocent kid.Jessica put her han

    “Yeah. You’re right.”Forrest answered frankly, “If you don’t want to live at my place, I can come and stay with you.”After Forrest arrived at Jessica’s neighborhood, he opened the trunk to reveal a few bags of ingredients inside.Jessica threw a look at the ingredients. “When did you buy them?”“I went to the hypermarket while waiting for you.” Forrest lifted the bags with his strong arms.Once Jessica arrived home, she sat on the couch to rest. She was exhausted from using her brain all day.Forrest rolled up his sleeves and began to cook. He knew that she had not been feeling well the past few days, so he purposely cooked some chicken soup.While the soup was simmering, Mrs. Lynch gave Forrest a call. “Are you not planning to come home to have dinner and sleep?”“...Yeah,” Forrest replied with a deep voice.Mrs. Lynch was not disappointed. In fact, she was pleased. “Are you going to be living in the apartment? Do you want me to go over to visit you tomorrow?”She could no

    Forrest’s eyes nearly softened.Others saw Jessica as a cold, arrogant person. However, when she was in love with Forrest, she would always put her toughness away and reveal her true self.To Forrest, that was the most indellible thing about her.“Am I wrong? No man could compare with you in college,” Forrest said with a low voice. “Other people claimed that my wife wouldn’t listen to me if I found a girlfriend like you.”Jessica was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter.She, too, had heard of such a statement.She was arrogant and stunning during her college years. Many men were interested in her but did not have the courage to go after her. For those who were courageous enough to go after her, she did not show interest in them either.However, she was interested in Forrest, a stubborn and boring man who did not know how to say sweet talk.Humans had always wanted to conquer something, and for her, she just wanted to conquer Forrest, that cold man. In the end, s

    Jessica just let Forrest do what he wanted. Given that her hair was long and thick, it was time-consuming to dry it. While he was drying her hair, she could use her phone to watch the news regarding the international economy.After he dried her hair, she lifted her head and saw her tidy hair through the mirror. Her pink lips curled up into a smile. “Not bad. You must’ve helped many girls dry their hair over the years.”“No.” Forrest denied it cautiously. “I’ve never dried anyone’s hair ever since I broke up with you.”“But you had a girlfriend and nearly married… that secretary some time ago.” Jessica glared at Forrest. She might look indifferent to it on the outside, but she had kept it to heart.“You were married before as well,” Forrest argued. Jessica was at a loss for words.“Come. Let me apply some cream for you.” Forrest picked her up and placed her on the bed. Then, he took out a tube of cream.At first glance, Jessica could recognize that the cream was prescribed by th

    “You’re the one who’s out of your mind. Didn’t you notice the glow on President Lynch’s cold face? It must be skincare.”“Damn. Did President Lynch wake up on the wrong side of the bed? I can’t believe he’d care for his skin.”“I’m sure President Lynch has a girlfriend.”“...”An employee just so happened to be sending a document to the secretary’s room and overheard the conversation. Soon after, the news traveled to the senior executives of Lynch Corporation.Even Jerry heard about the matter from his secretary. Coincidentally, Forrest had come to report his work to Jerry, who then looked his son over for a while. Although he had not seen his son for only a few days, he felt that Forrest was somehow different. As his father, Jerry could sense that his son was not as cold and stern as he used to be, even though he still maintained a cold expression.“Dad, President Watson has agreed to renew the contract with us, and we’ve set the price, which is slightly cheaper than last year.

    Freya’s pretty face instantly lit up with admiration. “Will you buy the rings even if they cost a few hundred million dollars?” “Yeah.”“...”Freya darted a look at the pink diamond in her hand, which Ryan gifted her. Suddenly, she felt a great admiration for Jessica. “Forrest, why are you suddenly treating Jessica so well? I heard she resigned from the position of the president yesterday. Is that true?”“Yeah.” Forrest kept quiet for a few seconds before he added, “Her parents have found out about our relationship, and she left Snow Corporation because of me.”“Oh, God.” Now, Freya was impressed. “Is Jessica a fool? She must be out of her mind to abandon Snow Corporation for a man. Doesn’t she know that career is something she should rely on at this age? How senile of her.” Forrest was speechless.Was Freya his biological sister?Having sensed her brother’s gloomy gaze, Freya pouted. “I’m telling the truth.”“Ryan also gave up on a great position in the executive council be

    “Come pick out some clothes for me.” Forrest suddenly walked over. When he saw his sister holding her phone in delight, he knew she was chatting with Ryan.“Can’t you pick them?” Freya rolled her eyes at him. “Also, you can bring Jessica along.”“She’s not keen on shopping for clothes.” Forrest paused for a moment before he added, “Her clothes, skincare products, and jewelry are usually sent over by the mall.”“...”Upon hearing that, Freya silently admired Jessica for a few seconds. Then, she felt sad, wondering why no one sent her anything. “Forrest, since you know she has so many clothes, why are you buying her more? You shouldn’t waste money.”“It’s alright. She’ll wear the clothes I buy for her, and she can wear a different outfit every day so that they don’t repeat,” Forrest said indifferently. That was his dream when he was younger. However, back then, he had to work and study at the same time because he was poor. Now, things were different for him.Freya darted a shocki

    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.

    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
