Jessica raised her head. In the face of Forrest’s furious yet handsome face, she was speechless and
helpless. “Who’s the bully now? Forrest, please be reasonable.”
Forrest, who was angry just a second ago, froze when he met her weary eyes.
“I admit that I went too far that day, but I thought_»
“You thought I wronged you, didn’t you?”
Jessica interrupted him. “You picked up Harold’s call when you drove my car, right? You thought I lied
to you and went to his house for dinner. You even thought we might’ve done the deed.”
Forrest was momentarily dumbfounded. Indeed, that was what he thought.
“Forrest, I used to think that after we got married, we’d be able to spend every day together and give
birth to a child in the future, allowing our relationship to return to how it was back then. However, I’ve
overlooked the fact that there’s no trust in our relationship anymore. You don’t trust me at all. You even
perceive measa flirt ever since we broke up.”
A touch of sadness appeared in Jessica’s eyes. “ Are you going to treat me the same as you did the
other day whenever you don’t trust me? Honestly, I’m afraid of pain. But despite that fear, ] had to
endure it and drive myself there to have my wound stitched. I was afraid of having other people ask me
to call the police when I reached the hospital.”
Forrest was so embarrassed. “I’m sorry.”
If this were in the past, he might not have believed what she said.
However, after having a talk with Christian and Ryan, he understood that he should not blame her.
Jessica looked at him in surprise, probably because she did not expect him to apologize of his own
accord.
“I promise you that this will never happen again.” Forrest deeply reflected on himself. Regardless of
whether Jessica had betrayed him, he should not have done those kinds of things.
It could probably be because he easily lost his composure every time he was with Jessica.
Even he hated himself for it.
A look of surprise washed over Jessica’s face again. At that moment, she had no idea what to say.
Nevertheless, Forrest had already thought about it. “It’s true. Our relationship lacks trust, but think
about how many years we’ve been apart. We’ve changed in many ways. In fact, I don’t quite
understand you now, and neither do you understand me. It’s inevitable for us to quarrel. But I promise
you that if we argue the next time, I definitely won’t hurt you. Of course, if you betray me again, I won’t
be mad at you or hate you because there’s no need for that. We’ll get a divorce and live our separate
lives.”
He had spent the whole of last night thinking about it.
He had really gotten over some stuff.
He knew that he had not stopped loving Jessica. He might be able to fool others about his feelings, but
he could not himself.
Just like the night before, when Jessica wanted to leave with her bags, he lost control because he
knew full well that he could not bear to part with her.
Christian’s words had woke him up. If Jessica had not broken up with him back then, would their
relationship have borne fruit?
Obviously, it was impossible.
At that time, their identities were worlds apart. Given that he was too young and arrogant back then, he
might not have been able to continue his relationship with her too.
Ryan’s words had also made Forrest understand that Jessica had been trying to get together with him.
Regardless of whether she loved him or simply missed her first love, now that both of them were
married, it showed that they were fated to be together.
What was more, the two of them were not young anymore, so they should give it a try.
Jessica fel] silent.
That was the first time Jessica and Forrest hada peaceful talk since they reunited.
It made her wonder if Forrest was possessed. “Tlied to you… that day. I said I wanted to go back to my
place not because of Harold.”
After some time, Jessica continued, “I only wanted to take a break that day… I didn’t want to do it with
you. I was exhausted and couldn’t handle it anymore. Plus, you always say nasty things in bed.”
After that, she turned her face to the window awkwardly. No matter how tough of a woman she was,
she was embarrassed when it came to that matter. Otherwise, she would not have kept it to herself the
entire time.
