They had just gotten married, and she was beginning to think that he was getting old fast.
Would she not want him anymore if he became old?
He kicked down the trash can in front of him in annoyance.
A cup noodle rolled out from inside.
He was stunned.
Did she eat cup noodles tonight?
Forrest rubbed his temples. She really was the same as she used to be. She was already an adult, yet
she did not even know how to cook for herself.
He bent down to pick up the garbage and then walked into the bedroom.
In the bathroom, the sound of running water and the vague silhouette behind the frosted glass made all
the blood in his body suddenly rush to a certain part of his body.
Her enchanting appearance last night flashed in his mind, giving him the sudden urge to push the door
open and go in.
They were already husband and wife anyway.
They had already done it anyway.
She wanted it anyway.
All sorts of thoughts popped up in his mind until his phone suddenly rang.
The crisp ringtone rained on his parade.
He regained his composure and walked to the balcony with the phone. “Mom-“
“Where did you run off to?” Mrs. Lynch asked.
“A friend of mine came to Canberra, so I won’t go home tonight. I’ll sleep in my apartment,” Forrest
answered in a low voice.
“Alright. It’s good that you’re not coming back tonight. Your father and I were out on a stroll when we
got a call from the Childs family. Stacey’s parents came over,” Mrs. Lynch spoke in a low voice. “Your
father and I had no choice but to go back early.”
Forrest frowned. “Why did they come?”
“They said they were concerned about Lynch Corporation’s situation, but Mrs. Childs said that Stacey
has been making a fuss at home recently. The Childs family probably still wants to continue the
engagement with our family. By the way, why didn’t I know that you also compensated them with two
storefronts? What a good son you are. Those storefronts are worth almost hundreds of millions, and
you gave them away just like that? Money don’t grow on trees, you know.”
Forrest replied indifferently, “‘ I did that because I was afraid the Childs family would bring up the
marriage again after Lynch Corporation overcomes this crisis. Now that I’ve given them the storefronts,
I don’t owe Stacey anymore, so the marriage can no longer go on.”
“In any case, I just think it’s a shame you gave the storefronts away. If I’d known earlier, I’d rather she
not have saved you. You would only have an arm and leg crushed or d********d. We wouldn’t have had
to lose so much money.”
Forrest was speechless.
In the eyes of his mother, his arms and legs were less important than money.
Mrs. Lynch sighed. “But there’s nothing else we can do since you already gave them away. I also don’t
want you to get married to their family anymore. Hurry up and find a girlfriend. I-“
“Mom, I have some stuff to do. I’ll hang up now.”
Forrest hurriedly hung up the phone when the topic of marriage came up again.
Ten minutes later, Jessica came out of the shower. However, she did not wear the black spaghetti top
from the night before but a set of cotton trousers and long-sleeved pajamas. Her buttons were also
buttoned up to her collarbone, so nothing was revealed.
Forrest’s eyes darkened, and he also took a change of clothes to shower.
Yet, as soon as he went in, the fragrance of women’s shower gel wafted up to his nose. In the small
basket, there was also the bra and boy shorts she wore earlier.
His eyes lingered on them for a few seconds until Jessica came in to take out the clothes she had
changed out of. She did not even glance at him the entire time.
“Wait…”
Inexplicably annoyed, Forrest quickly took off his clothes before throwing them into her arms. “Wash
them too. My clothes have to be hand-washed.”
Jessica placed the shirt in the basket and brought it to his feet. “In that case, you can wash them for me
later. Mine also has to be hand-washed.”
“Jessica Snow.” Forrest’s expression instantly changed. “Is this how you act as my wife?”
