Forrest said coldly, “Jessica deserves it. Who asked her to be greedy for power?”
“Brother, being born in a family like the Snow family and being educated to bear responsibilities ever
since young, it’s understandable that there are many instances where she doesn’t have a choice. She’s
a member of the Snow family. They’ve given her the best education and honorable status. Her parents
raised her painstakingly, and she’s the eldest sister. She has to take on her responsibilities. Jessica
didn’t only have you back then. There were also her parents who had great expectations for her and
her brothers whom she had to protect.”
Freya said resignedly, “Besides, the Lynch family was so insignificant at that time. The Snow family
could crush us with just a finger. If Old Master Snow found out his granddaughter behaved recklessly
for a guy from a small place, do you think he’d have let the Lynch family go? He would surely have
caused you problems and forced you to leave. For your family’s safety, you would’ve chosen to leave
Jessica too, right?”
Forrest was taken aback. He was speechless. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, “You’ve
considered a lot of things.”
“That’s because I’ve been a part of the Snow family. I understand what it’s like.”
Freya said, “Moreover, I’ve gone through so many things in Canberra. I might know some things better
than you. Don’t keep thinking that Jessica betrayed you that year. If you put yourself in her shoes, you
would’ve had no choice but to betray that relationship too in that powerless situation. Thinking about it,
Jessica, who was in the prime of her youth, had to get married to an unhealthy guy for her family. She’s
very pitiful too. In the end, it’s all because she was born in the Snow family.”
Forrest was silent for a long time.
He realized Freya’s words were logical.
His sister had really grown up and become sensible.
“Freya, even if that’s the case, there’s no hope for Jessica and me anymore. Firstly, our statuses are
too different. She’s the person who holds power in Snow Corporation now, while I’m only the president
of a small Lynch Corporation. Secondly, you were married to her brother and you’re divorced now. If I,
your brother, marry my ex-
brother-in-law’s sister, the relationship will be too messy if word gets out.”
“How is it messy? There are even sisters who marry another set of brothers together. Besides, Rodney
and I are divorced, while Jessica is in charge of the Snow family now. Who can decide for her if she
makes up her mind who to get married to?”
Freya pouted. “Whatever. I just think… a lifetime is too long. It’s pretty difficult to get married or marry a
person we love.”
Forrest frowned. “Your words sound weird. Freya, have you fallen in love with someone again?”
“No. You’re overthinking it. I have a lot more relationship experience than you. All of my sentiments are
just from my past experiences.”
Freya hung up after she spoke.
She sat in the car looking spiritless. She could not sleep last night.
Once she closed her eyes, the scene of Ryan kissing her would appear. She felt like a mess and got
more irritated as she thought about it. However, when she met Ryan in the dining hall that morning, he
was calm as if nothing had happened.
It was… exasperating.
Freya was in a bad mood. She did not have much of an appetite either.
In the afternoon, she kept poking her fodd at the canteen.
Catherine, who was sitting opposite her, frowned when she saw this. “Although you want to lose
weight, you should still eat something in the afternoon. You can just eat less at night.”
“Who said I’m on a diet?” Freya pouted. “I just…”
“Just what?” Catherine held her glass and drank some apple juice.
“Nothing. Maybe I’m just overthinking.” Freya lowered her head and ate in silence.
“…”
