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 step, she nearly wanted to tell him off.
After returning home, she just wanted to take a comfortable bath and have a quiet rest.
It was impossible for her to return to the old residence to have dinner because her parents would surely nag her.
Other people only knew that she was resolute in public. Little did they realize how lazy she was in private.
Forrest darted an impassive look at her for a while. Then, he turned around and walked into the kitchen to turn on the stove. He fried an egg and cooked some proper noodles for her.
"Thanks, hubby.”
She hugged Forrest from behind with her after-shower fragrance wafting into his nose, causing him to tighten the spatula in his hand. "You can return to the Lynch family's house with me to have meals next time."
"Have you told your parents about it?” Jessica showed a hint of nervousness. "Are they alright with it?”
"Mm. I said that I assaulted you when you were drunk, so I have to be responsible." Forrest threw a knowing glance at her. "But I didn't tell them that you forced me to marry you.
