“I can’t let my woman be treated unfairly,” Forrest retorted calmly. “By the way, we’re planning to hold a wedding in two months. You can suggest some good venues to me if you have any.”“Get lost.”Mrs. Lynch could no longer tolerate it. She felt utterly horrible. Forrest was neglecting his mother after getting a woman. “That might be better.” Forrest thought about it for two seconds. He went downstairs and headed toward the door. “Stop right there. Where are you going?” Mr. Lynch called him furiously. “I’m going to look for my wife.”“Will you die if you don’t see her for a night?” Mr. Lynch almost spat blood. “Aren’t you unable to leave my mom at night too?” Forrest left after saying that sentence. Mrs. Lynch shook her head in despair. “Is that still my emotionless, cold son?”“Yes, it’s him,” Freya reminded her very solemnly.Mrs. Lynch glared at her. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I had known about it, I would’ve kept a closer eye on the birth certificates…”“
Forrest stared at Jessica with a grim expression. “Didn’t you say you’d be eating at a social function tonight?”“After some thought, I decided not to go. I turned it down.” Jessica blinked.“You could’ve called me or ordered food delivery.” Forrest told her off huffily, “Worst comes to the worst, you could’ve hired someone to cook for you or return to the Snow family’s old residence. You’re already an adult. When I wasn’t around, you chose to have instant noodles.”“That’s too troublesome. Making a call to order food is troublesome too. I even need to go downstairs and pick it up.”Jessica’s pretty brows revealed a trace of fatigue.Having worked the entire day, she felt lazy. Sometimes, she had to get on a conference call in the middle of the night because of her overseas company, so she hardly had time. Moreover, she had been busy with the handover process in the past few days. As Carson was still inexperienced, he could not handle a lot of matters. As she guided him step by st
“It’s okay, I’ll take a cold bath.”Knowing that Jessica’s wound had not healed, Forrest turned around and wanted to enter the bathroom.“Don’t leave.”Jessica pulled him. “Do you remember how I helped you when I was on my period back then?”“...”All of a sudden, Forrest’s mind was burning. Of course, he remembered.Jessica was cold in front of other people. No one knew how passionate she was when she faced him at night.“Are you willing to do it?”“Why not? I could even do it before getting married to you. Now that we’re married, I’m definitely willing to do it.” While biting her lip, Jessica pulled him back. “Just make sure you’re not that rough again next time.”“I won’t, I swear.”Forrest did not notice that his cold face seemed to melt under the orange light. His handsome face was red, and his eyes were so gentle that they could overwhelm one.After that, he hugged her firmly and kissed her. From his gaze, he appeared to wish he could stuff her into his chest. Only aft
Jason laughed in exasperation. “Stop scheming in front of me. You may say that you’re resigning, but you have, in fact, brainwashed all the senior executives in the headquarters. They’re all your people. Don’t forget that the Lennox family was the first to support you when you were elected. Now, you’re basically kicking down the ladder.”“Dad, as you said, all they did was support me. Even if they didn’t support me, I’d force them to do that. Mr. Lennox made a wise decision.”Jessica looked at her father. She admitted that Jason used to do well, but now that he was old, he could not tell apart those with and without bad intentionst. “If the Lennox family were honest and reliable, I would hire them again. The overseas project that I handed to Harold this year is the best example to show that his family is unreliable.”Jason was stunned, and a complicated expression appeared on his face. “Are you referring to Chairman Harold matchmaking you and Harold? It’s just a marriage. Even if yo
“Insulting?”Jessica laughed. “Why don’t you think of it this way? I’m older than you, yet I’m at a higher position than you and your dad. Harold, I’ve been aware of your intention since the day I held the position. Not only you, but other people also supported me because Chairman Lennox was the first to do so. Considering your competence, I saved you your dignity and gave you a chance.”After pausing for a moment, she rose to her feet in her high heels and placed one hand on the leather chair. “You’re just interested in my position, aren’t you? I don’t mind. It’s normal for young people like you to be ambitious, but you don't get too in your head and treat me as a fool. Am I right, Chairman Lennox?”She turned her eyes to Chairman Lennox with a faint smile. “You have a good relationship with my dad. Especially when my dad was made a figurehead at work, and when Rodney almost got into trouble, you did comfort him a lot. My dad might be senile, but I’m not.”“Jessica…” Chairman Lenn
Chairman Lennox also gave up. He thought he was setting a trap for Jessica, but unbeknownst to himself, he was the one trapped instead.Before they left, Jessica said, “By the way, I don’t hope for anyone to learn about our conversation today. Otherwise… Chairman Lennox, I’ll decide how much bonus the Lennox family can get from the company next time.”Chairman Lennox shuddered, and he grasped her point. Not only did she plant a spy in his house, but she also had spies in other directors’ houses. “Jessica, it looks like your so-called resignation is just a facade.” “I’ll resign. Since my dad wants to go back to his company, I’m willing to play along. Having said that, I’ll forever have the final say in Snow Corporation. Do you understand?” Jessica said softly.“Jessica, you win.” Chairman Lennox forced a smile before he left.Jessica had not only deceived the Snow family but everyone else as well. …At 5:00 p.m., Forrest drove to pick Jessica up.As it was Jessica’s first ti
“You scared me. Here I was, thinking that both of you are progressing so quickly,” Freya said with a grin.Forrest frowned and asked with a low voice, “Since you have an upset stomach, do you want to go for an ultrasound scan?”“...No need. Perhaps I’m just a little hungry.” Jessica had no choice but to continue lying.“Let’s go in and eat something.” Forrest thought it was probably because she was busy with work at noon and did not have a proper meal. Hence, he held her hand and walked into the villa.Jessica quickly greeted Mrs. Lynch and Mr. Lynch. “Hi, Mrs. and Mr. Lynch.”“They’re not strangers anymore. They’re your dad and mom.” Forrest reminded her with an impassive look and tone, as though he was describing the weather today.Knowing his personality left Mrs. Lynch, Mr. Lynch, and Jessica, who were all in the living room, feeling awkward.He should, at least, give them some breathing space instead of expecting Jessica to call his parents ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’ as soon as she en
The elders would definitely want the wedding held in the country. Mrs. Lynch spent the last night looking for a good hotel in the country, but now, she did not feel like they were not involved in it at all. As soon as Jessica noticed what was happening, she said in a gentle voice, “My relationship with Freya and Forrest is quite complicated, so it’s better to have our wedding overseas low-key.”The reminder instantly reminded Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch of their odd predicament. They had forgotten the issue.“That’s fine.” Mr. Lynch nodded, and at the same time, he felt relieved.To tell the truth, he was quite intimidated by Jessica. Her presence was so much stronger than Jason’s that she made him feel like he was sitting and talking with the prime minister’s wife.However, upon hearing Jessica’s approachable tone, he was relieved.Mrs. Lynch let out a light cough. “But your parents…”She did not continue. However, everyone understood her.Forrest turned his gaze to Jessica.Je
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
