Jane Quinlan patted his shoulder, "Hey hey hey, why are you, man, so easily teased.
I just made an offhand remark, and you imdiately took the bait."
"Yes, I’m the type that’s delicate, tender, and easily ’knocked down’ as the legends say.
You’re quite lucky to have found a man who lights up at a single touch.
In the future, oh, you’re going to be so blessed."
He tenderly laid her down on the bed, starting to tease and nibble.
Jane Quinlan thought to herself, what future blessings.
She truly felt she was already very blessed.
Ever since she t Kay Forrest, her every day has been surrounded by blessings.
The next morning, Kay Forrest left for the company after breakfast.
Old Forrest arranged for a car to take Jane Quinlan to her tea art class.
At noon, Jane Quinlan returned to have lunch with old Forrest.
Old Forrest felt that the house finally seed to have so life to it.
"Uncle, I’m going to the company later to bring Kay lunch.
When I ca back just now, Kay said he hadn’t had lunch yet.
They’re having a very important eting this afternoon, it’s going to last late into night and they won’t be able to eat then."
Grayson Forrest nodded: "I’ll have the housekeeper prepare it."
"I’ve already talked to the housekeepers, it will be ready in half an hour.
The housekeepers made a lot, so I’m taking all with to feed not only Kay but also the staff having the eting..."
Grayson Forrest nodded approvingly: "Mhm, not bad, knowing to care for the staff is very good indeed."
Jane Quinlan pursed her lips: "Uncle, that was a complint, right?"
"Of course, when praise is due, it should be given.
How was today’s tea art class?"
Jane Quinlan put down her chopsticks, her eyes imdiately sparkling with excitent: "I went to class for the whole morning and it was truly eye-opening.
Before, I never knew tea culture was so vast and profound.
This morning, we didn’t get to hands-on practice yet.
The teacher just broadly introduced the characteristics and aromas of various teas.
All very practical stuff, I think it’s different from what you learn in a tea art school."
"Definitely different, months of learning in a tea art school cannot compare to several days of learning under little Su."
Jane Quinlan nodded: "Then I’ll go directly to school in the afternoon after leaving Kay’s place."
"Yes, take your ti to learn, don’t rush, there’s plenty of ti.
Recently, besides tea art, you should also pay attention to your wedding preparation with Kay.
n are generally not as detailed as won in this respect.
Even though Forrest seems very ticulous at the mont, there are still many details he might not notice, so remind him.
Whatever kind of wedding you want, just tell Forrest to make sure he organizes it well.
A girl only gets married once in her life, don’t leave any regrets."
Jane Quinlan nodded, feeling sowhat touched.
She didn’t have a mother-in-law, and by rights, these matters are typically not the father-in-law’s concern.
But Grayson Forrest still said these things, making her feel truly warm inside.
After lunch, Jane Quinlan took a housekeeper to the company to deliver the als.
When she arrived at Kay Forrest’s office, he was still in a eting and hadn’t co out yet.
She waited for about fifteen minutes, and he returned with Nina Norris.
Both were startled to see Jane Quinlan there when they pushed the office door open.
Nina Norris exclaid in surprise, "Sister-in-law, you’re here."
Kay Forrest looked at the rows of lunch boxes on the table and couldn’t help but laugh: "Yo, delivering coal in snowy weather, Nina, take these lunch boxes out and let everyone take one.
It’s the loving heart lunch brought by your sister-in-law, let everyone eat well to work hard."
"Sure, no problem." Nina went out with the housekeeper, leaving only one box for Kay.
Kay Forrest ca and sat next to Jane Quinlan. She opened the lunch box for him and handed him the chopsticks: "You guys too, it was such a rushed eting that you’ve been busy until now without even eating."
"Matters have their priorities, this is what you call an important eting, otherwise I wouldn’t be skipping als."
He said, fondly raising his hand to tousle her hair: "Thankfully I have a good wife.
Worried that her husband would go hungry, she even knows to bring him food."
Jane Quinlan looked at him and smiled warmly: "I wanted to ask you, how is the wedding preparation going?"
"Yo, that’s rare, you’re starting to ask about the wedding.
Previously, you were the kind who was oblivious to everything outside the window and just focused on getting a good sleep.
How co you’ve suddenly co to your senses and rembered to ask about this?"
"At lunch today, I had a al with Uncle, and he said sothing that moved ."
"He told to see if there was anything missing from the wedding, and if there was anything you hadn’t thought of, I should remind you proactively."
"He also said that a girl only gets one wedding in her life."
"It should be designed according to her own dreams."
"See, although I don’t have a mother-in-law, my father-in-law is still quite thoughtful."
Kay Forrest smirked: "Yeah, he is thoughtful. He has to be, with no wife around."
Jane Quinlan tapped him on the shoulder: "Hey, you shouldn’t talk about your dad like that."
"I’m telling the truth. My dad, how shall I put it..."
Kay Forrest shook his head: "Never mind, let’s not talk about it. Speaking more will just upset ."
"I will have soone handle the wedding stuff, and when the itinerary is out, I will have soone show it to you."
"Let’s take so ti to have our wedding photos taken these next few days."
"After that, you can follow the wedding plan and see if there’s anything else you want to add."
There is truth in what my old man said—we only get one wedding in our lives," he continued.
"It’s the sa for both you and , just this once in our lifeti.
"We shouldn’t make it too hard on ourselves."
Jane Quinlan nodded: "Mhm."
"Are you going to tea ceremony class this afternoon?"
"Yes, the driver is waiting downstairs for ; I’ll leave as soon as you finish eating."
"I will co ho late tonight, you should head back first, eat well."
"Don’t starve yourself and the baby. If you don’t feel like cooking, I can have soone send over food for you."
Jane Quinlan thought for a mont and said: "There’s no need for the hassle; we might as well stay at the old house today.
"After all, you’ll be coming back late, and I can keep Uncle company at ho."
Kay Forrest nodded with a smile: "Alright then, make your own decision."
After he finished eating, Jane Quinlan left first; she spent the afternoon learning about tea and returned to Grayson Forrest’s place.
Grayson Forrest didn’t expect Jane Quinlan and the others would co back tonight and was so delighted that he asked the housekeeper to prepare extra dishes.
"Uncle, there’s no need for extra dishes today. Kay Forrest has to work overti and won’t be back for dinner."
Grayson Forrest waved his hand: "It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t co back; you and the child need to eat."
Seeing how happy Grayson Forrest was, Jane Quinlan couldn’t help frowning: "Uncle, it’s strange how you and Kay Forrest are with each other.
"A good father and a good son, yet whenever you two et, it’s like thunder clashing. Why do you two seem to rub each other the wrong way?"
Grayson Forrest sighed helplessly: "Well, I really can’t bla Forrest.
"In many ways, I indeed haven’t done enough.
"Especially during his childhood, when he needed the most, I wasn’t there for him completely..."
He shook his head: "So things, now... it really is already too late for regrets."
"I don’t think Kay Forrest would hold such a long grudge over such trivial matters."
Grayson Forrest patted his own leg and asked: "Forrest hasn’t told you how I ca to be like this, has he?"
Jane Quinlan hesitated for a mont before nodding: "No, he hasn’t."
"Aren’t you curious? Why not ask him?"
Jane Quinlan pouted: "Would you be angry if I said I asked him?"
"No, many people are probably curious as to how I ended up with a limp, but in fact, there aren’t many who know the truth.
"If you asked but still don’t know, that ans Forrest hasn’t told you, right?"
Jane Quinlan nodded: "Yes, Forrest said I could ask about anything, but not about this.
"I know everyone has their taboos.
Because of that, I never pried further."
Grayson Forrest smiled, gently patting his own leg: "Indeed, it’s sothing not many would be willing to talk about.
"But now, you’re not an outsider anymore, you’re my daughter-in-law.
"A daughter-in-law is the sa as a daughter to , and there’s no need to hide my affairs from you.
"Do you still want to know?
"I can tell you my story."
Jane Quinlan nodded: "If it’s uncomfortable for you, then I won’t listen. But if it’s not too much trouble, I am actually really curious."
Grayson Forrest laughed heartily: "You’re quite straightforward. Alright, I’ll tell you.
"Maybe if you understand, you’ll get a glimpse into Forrest’s thoughts.
"Have you heard about the story of and Forrest’s mother?"
Jane Quinlan pondered for a mont: "I’ve heard that the two of you were among Anchester’s most loving couples."
Grayson Forrest shook his head with a slightly helpless smile: "Actually, that’s not quite the truth."
