Considering that Jessica was used to being domineering, she disliked being forced.
She stood up in exasperation, but she ended up being pressed down by Forrest.
“Sit down. Don’t move.” Forrest tried his best not to sound cold. “If you don’t finish your breakfast today,
Pll drag you back from the elevator.” Jessica was calm. She did not move a muscle and just sat there
with her cold, pretty face.
Forrest brought the breakfast he had prepared to the table. Considering that she was still sick, he
prepared a bland meal. There were bow!s of chicken and corn soup, cereal, and poached eggs. There
were even kiwis, oranges, and tomatoes placed on another plate.
He had always prepared breakfast quite well. When he was living abroad in the past, he used to plate
his food exquisitely as well.
Jessica used to be a fussy person. However, when the two of them were in a relationship, she would
finish all the food he made.
After many years, Forrest still remembered what she liked to eat.
However, why did this have to happen only after he had hurt her?
At that moment, Jessica quite hated him. If he continued to give her the cold shoulder and hate her,
she might have wanted to give up on him completely this time.
Nevertheless, he had changed his mind and was treating her well. Whenever he treated her a little
better, she could not help but want to get back together with him.
She was averse to this behavior of hers.
She was already a mature woman. She should not be love-struck.
”
“Eat it.” Forrest took the food and handed it to her. Then, he explained, “There’s nothing in your house,
so I had someone send these things over yesterday.”
Jessica’s gaze was filled with complicated emotions.
All of a sudden, the sound of a doorbell rang.
The person who knocked on the door at such an early hour would most probably be her secretary. Just
as Jessica was hesitant, Forrest had already risen to his feet and walked to the door.
“Wait a minute. Don’t bother about it. Leave it,” Jessica said.
“Am I such a disgrace?”
Forrest glanced at her indifferently before walking to the door. From the screen, he could see aman ina
trimmed suit outside. The man was wearing a pair of glasses. He looked elegant and exuded the aura
of a business prodigy.
Harold Lennox.
This name immediately crossed Forrest’s mind. Forrest directly opened the door.
‘Jessica, I brought you…”
Before Harold could finish his sentence, he instinctively froze the moment he opened the door and saw
a strange man in the house.
This was Harold’s first time seeing a man in Jessica’s house aside from Carson. The man was younger
than him, very tall, and had a great figure. The man had prominent features and was good-looking. He
had a tall nose and an icy gaze. At first glance, he seemed to be of mixed race. Harold quickly swept
his gaze over Forrest’s outfit, which included a light-colored shirt and a pair of black pants. However,
Forrest’s clothes were not tidy with obvious creases on them. It showed that he definitely had not
gotten changed this morning. The man had most probably stayed here since last night.
“You are…”
Harold was boiling with anger. However, his calm face did not betray it. He just seemed to be looking at
an insignificant stranger. “Is Jessica around? She’s not well, so 1 personally prepared some breakfast
and brought it for her.”
He emphasized the word ‘personally’.
There was a sense of romance in his words.
“No need, I’ve made her breakfast.”
Having been in the business industry for a long time, Forrest could soon confirm that the man was
Harold.
He came over with his homemade breakfast. Forrest was furious. Nevertheless, he understood that if
he got furious in front of the other party, it would only make the other party feel content.
