Chapter 2548

It was not just Freya. Mr. Lynch hit the table and stood up. “What did you say?”

Mrs. Lynch patted her chest. “Forrest Lynch, are you crazy? You got a marriage certificate without
saying anything. Did you ask us beforehand? Did you get our permission? Yes, I want you to start a
family as soon as possible, but you can’t do that without informing the family first. You’re utterly
disrespecting us.”

“Your mom is right,” Mr. Lynch said furiously. “We’re not unreasonable parents. We’re not even asking
you to find a woman of similar status. What’s important is that you like her. It’s fine even if her family
isn’t very well-off. Your actions this time… are too disappointing.”

“Tell us, what woman did you marry?” Mrs. Lynch’s good mood was utterly ruined. Her son even got a
marriage certificate while keeping it a secret from the family. It surely would not be a decent woman.
Maybe the woman was exceptionally skillful in seducing men. “She can’t possibly be an improper lady,
right?”

“It’s my girlfriend from back when I studied abroad. She’s my first love too.”

Forrest explained, “We planned to get married after returning to Australia back then. However, her
family was too high in status. It wasn’t a family that the Lynch family could compare to. She was afraid
that her family would hurt me after finding out about our relationship, so she endured the pain and
broke up with me. After that, she was forced to get married to a terminally ill man for her family’s
benefit. However, not even two years passed when that man passed away. She has been alone all
these years. We only met each other again after I came to Canberra. I don’t want to let her pass me by
again this time.”

“So, this is her second marriage?” Mrs. Lynch caught the main point. She felt uncomfortable.
Forrest frowned. “So what if this is her second marriage? I like her, and she doesn’t have kids. Actually,
you guys have been urging me to get married and look for a girlfriend all these years. I’ve tried to



interact with other women, but I couldn’t accept them at all. I can’t deceive myself anymore. I might not
fall in love with anyone else in this lifetime.”

Mrs. Lynch’s liver hurt from being angered. No wonder their son would get a marriage certificate before
telling them.



If she had known early on, she definitely would not have agreed.

“Mom, what’s wrong with having a second marriage?” Freya suddenly said with a hurt expression,
“Your daughter has been married once too. Does that mean I don’t have the right to get married to
Ryan?”

(

”

“Err…”

Mrs. Lynch saw her daughter’s disappointed gaze. Her heart tightened. Only then did she realize that
her thoughts were too selfish.“ Freya, I don’t mean it that way. A second marriage… is not a big deal,
right? It’s not that she wanted to get married twice by choice.”

She spoke dryly. Well, even the prime minister’s wife did not mind her daughter. She should not mind
other divorcees. 1

With that mindset, she felt better.

Forget it. Her daughter, who was a divorcee, was now together with Ryan, who had never gotten
married before.



Her son, who was still a bachelor, found a woman who was a divorcee. She would just take it as God
was making things even. 1 “Freya, did you know about this from the start?” Mr. Lynch asked sharply all
of a

sudden.

“I did, and I’ve even met her. But I didn’t know he got married.” Freya glanced at her brother bitterly.
“You did a good job of keeping it a secret.”

“How’s that woman’s character?” Mrs. Lynch asked. “Is she easy to interact with? Also, your brother
said that her family’s financial situation is better than ours. Is she from one of the wealthy families of
Canberra? I’ve been attending quite a lot of banquets. I might’ve

met her before.”

“She has a nice character.” Freya smiled. “If my brother is with her, he can be a winner in life even
without putting in any effort.”

Forrest was speechless. “…”

“She has such great traits.” Mr. Lynch was deep in thought. “Forrest said her husband passed away
two years after she got married to him. Why does this story sound so familiar? I think I’ve heard it
somewhere before.”

“Is it Jessica?” Mrs. Lynch said, “I heard people talking about it when I went to the Snow family’s house
before. She also got married to a terminally ill man.”

Mr. and Mrs. Lynch’s eyes widened. Then, they stared at their son with an angered gaze. “Forrest,
don’t tell us that the woman is…”
