"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 not wait to meet her future daughter-in-law.
Given that her son was always not at home, she might be able to have a grandson soon.
"No need. I'm not staying there," Forrest denied.
Mrs. Lynch’s eyes lit up. "Are you... staying at your girlfriend's place? Forrest, you're brilliant. Hang on. Why do I hear the sound of a pressure cooker? Are you cooking?" "Not bad. Considering how cold you usually are, I didn’t expect that you would cook for your girlfriend. How promising. When are you bringing your girlfriend home? I’ll demonstrate my cooking skills then." Mrs. Lynch grinned from ear to ear.
"I'll bring her home when it's time. I'm going to carry on with my work now."
With that, Forrest ended the call.
His eyes swept over the living room. Jessica was on the phone while looking at her notebook, seemingly busy with work. The soft light above her head shone on her.
