Forrest threw Jessica to the bed roughly, causing her slight pain. She even seemed to have suffered a
concussion.
Before she could come to her senses, Forrest had forcefully torn his shirt open and pressed his body
against hers.
“Forrest, be more gentle.”
However, Forrest was drunk, and having been triggered by the beautiful view right in front of his eyes,
he could not hear what she was saying.
He, instead, kept asking with an angry tone, “Let me ask you something. Have you ever been with
other men, considering that you’re so desperate?
“You’ve been going all out to threaten me to marry you so that I can have fun with you, right? Now that
I’m having fun with you, are you satisfied?
“I’m warning you. Don’t ever dress so provocatively in front of other men. Otherwise, I will never let you
off.”
“…”
His cruel voice rang in Jessica’s ear for a long time. Jessica was sad at first, but she slowly turned
numb.
She had no idea how long they were at it that night, but she eventually got so tired that she lost
consciousness.
…..
When Forrest woke up the next day, his head and stomach did not feel good.
He sat up, only to find himself sleeping in the bed in the main bedroom, and it was not quite the same
as the view he used to wake up to. The bed was rather messy, and the blanket contained a familiar
scent of a woman.
However, the clothes and tissue paper all over the floor were gone.
He held his head, puzzled.
It seemed like he would lose control and become unlike himself every time he met Jessica.
With that, he stood up in distress and headed toward the bathroom.
On the bathroom cabinet, there was a pink toothbrush beside his cup and two additional towels – one
body towel and one face towel– on the towel rack. There were also some skincare products.
He furrowed his brows. After taking a bath, he walked to the changing room and pulled open the door
of the wardrobe. What he saw was not only men’s clothes but also some women’s clothes hung beside
them.
Seeing men’s clothes being put together with women’s clothes stunned him for a few seconds. Only
then did it strike him that he was already married.
Jessica was now his wife.
He stood in front of the wardrobe for a long time. Once he got changed, he walked out of the bedroom.
The sound of the range hood emanated from the kitchen.
As he walked to the dining room, he spotted Jessica frying something with an apron tied around her
waist. Then, as though some oil had splashed on her, the spatula she was holding fell onto the floor.
That scene evoked some memories in Forrest’s mind.
When the two of them were studying abroad in the States, she had cooked for him once when he was
sick.
However, Jessica was not skilled in that aspect at all, and she was rather clumsy.
As such, he did not allow her to use a spatula anymore.
Yet, after so many years, she was still the same.
“How could your ex-husband stand to see you so clumsy?” Forrest walked over and turned off the
stove. He glared at her and caught sight of the red spot on her long, fair hand due to the oil splash.
Jessica looked down. Her thin lips moved a little, but she remained silent.
Forrest snorted. “I forgot that although your ex-husband got sick all the time, he was very rich. I’m sure
he had a housekeeper and didn’t need you to cook for him.”
Faced with his sarcasm, Jessica felt a sense of helplessness. She knew that he could not get over
some things. “Forrest, the Snow family raised me. I can’t evade responsibility.”
“I’m not asking you to evade responsibility. In fact, I don’t recall pestering you shamelessly when you
said you wanted to break up with me. But as for you? It’s been so long, yet you still forced me to marry
you.”
Forrest stared at her coldly. “Since you’ve made up your mind, you shouldn’t come back looking for me.
From the beginning, you’ve never cared for or respected me. Are you going to break up with me
anytime in the future when you get fed up with me? I don’t even have any autonomy in this marriage
anyway.”
