“ll go back now.”
Forrest said with frustration, “Is Ryan at our home now?”
“Yes, Why are you asking about him? You can’t be avoiding coming home to eat just because Ryan is around, right?” Mrs. Lynch said in astonishment, “Are you fed up and triggered from seeing Mireya and Ryan being so lovey-dovey all the time that you, a single man, don’t want to come home anymore?”
“No. You’re overthinking. I’1l be back soon.” Forrest hung up speechlessly.
At 6:30 p.m., he stepped into the Lynch family’s villa.
Ever since Ryan and Mireya started dating, Ryan was almost a resident of the villa. Usually, if Mireya did not go to his place, he would surely drive over during mealtimes.
Mrs. Lynch was pretty welcoming of him.
“I have something to talk to you about in private.”
After entering, Forrest immediately went to Ryan. Ryan, who was carrying the baby, was taken aback. Then, he smiled warmly. “Okay.”
“Brother, what are you and Ryan going to talk about that you guys can’t let me in the loop?” Mireya was unhappy.
“Women shouldn’t meddle in men’s affairs.” Forrest retorted.
Mireya got furious. “Brother, the way you speak is really hateful. No wonder you’ re still single and n o woman wants you.”
Forrest’s handsome face darkened. Ryan quickly stood in between Forrest and Mireya to mediate the situation. “Alright. Forrest, let’s bring this outside.”
After walking to the garden, Ryan smiled and said, “Forrest, your words are too straightforward sometimes. Some women can’t take it.”
“…”
Forrest went silent. He said a lot of rude words last night. Was that why Jessica got angry and wanted to move out?”
“Forrest, what’s the matter?” Ryan asked.
“Do you know where Jessica stays?” Forrest asked all of a sudden.
“Mm?” Ryan widened his eyes in surprise. “Are you looking for her?”
“Yes. [have to meet her to discuss some things,” Forrest said annoyedly.
Ryan raised his eyebrows and was deep in thought for a moment. “Although you’re Mireya’s brother, Jessica is my sister too. If I tell you her address, what if you say unpleasant words again like the many times before and cause a fight? I’ll be so awkward being stuck in between you two.”
” I won’t. “
Forrest clenched his fists. “I just have to meet her for something.'”
“Can you promise not to be so harsh with your words, then? Although Jessica often gets scolded b y others, those are the people she doesn’t care about. If the people she cares about scold her, she’ll still feel hurt.” Ryan gave a hint.
Forrest was stunned. Did Ryan’s words mean that Jessica cared about him?
“Thank you.” After a moment, he spoke.
“You’re welcome. I hope Jessica can reunite with her first love soon too.” Ryan smiled. “If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have competed for Snow Corporation with Rodney back then. I was the one who persuaded her. As long as she stands at the top of the Snow family, no one will stop her from being with who she wants.”
Forrest’s body trembled. His gaze was complicated. “That’s impossible.”
“It’s true.” Ryan put on a serious expression. ” Actually, Snowden has secretly been in Jessica’s control long ago. She did it to protect herself. She never had the intention of competing with Rodney. I had no choice but to instigate Jessica to do so for my selfish reasons. If the person left in Snow Corporation is someone who will go against me, I’ll be too restricted. I know you’re Jessica’s weakness. It’s just that you’ve always hated her.” Ryan’s words caused roaring waves in Forrest’s heart.
“Forrest, don’t hate Jessica. Back then, in order to make my dad prime minister, the whole family put in a lot of effort. The political marriage between the Snow family and the Churchill family was my grandpa’s decision. No one could stop him because our family was in a bad situation at that time. We needed the Churchill family’s help. If Jessica had resisted because of you, the Snow family would’ve discovered you sooner or later. Do you think they would’ve let you off the hook?” “You… Let me calm down.”
Forrest had received too much of a shock today. Christian said he and Jessica would not have made it till the end even if they had persevered.
Ryan said that if Jessica had not gotten married, it would have harmed him.
Were they right?
Thinking about it, it was actually possible.
Did that mean Forrest had misunderstood Jessica all along?
Forrest recalled how he treated Jessica last night. He suddenly thought he had indeed gone overboard.
“Alright then.” Seeing Forrest’s expression, Ryan thought his goal was achieved.
Couples were like that. Forrest might not believe the words that came from Jessica’s mouth. Instead, he would think she was simply eloquent. That was because Jessica had lost all credibility in Forrest’s heart.
If it were Ryan, a person who was not involved in the situation, who told Forrest the truth, Forrest might believe him more.
Of course, Ryan could have talked about these things in the past. However, it was clearly not the best timing back then.
“By the way, do you know Harold Lennox?” Forrest thought of something just as Ryan was about to leave.
“Harold?” Ryan raised his eyebrows in astonishment. “I do know him.”
“….”
Forrest opened his mouth to ask about what was going on between Harold and Jessica. However, he did not know how to start talking about it.
Ryan smiled and asked, “Are you thinking of asking about Harold’s relationship with Jessica?”
“….”
Forrest turned his gaze away with annoyance. Ryan saw how Forrest kept everything bottled up.
The corners of Ryan’s twitched resignedly. It turned out that his sister liked this type of guy. “I only know that Harold might have feelings for Jessica.”
As expected…
Forrest’s brows were knitted together ina tight frown.
Ryan sighed inwardly. “The Lennox family is one of Snow Corporation’s shareholders. When Jessica assumed the position back then, the Lennox family was the first to show their support.
However, in my opinion, Director Lennox isn’t a simple person. He was simply thinking of being the first to express his loyalty since the power trend had shifted. By doing so, Jessica might even do him favors. Moreover, Harold is indeed pretty capable.”
?. “
What replied Ryan was still Forrest’s silence. However, his expression had changed to one with a tight frown.
Ryan started having a headache. He had no choice but to continue saying, “But no matter how much Harold likes Jessica, Jessica will never like him. It’s impossible for her to be with him.”
Upon hearing that, Forrest’s dark eyes finally moved. “Why?”
“Harold might like Jessica, but behind his feelings for her, there’s also greed for benefits.”
Ryan smiled. “It’s good that a person is capable and smart, but what’s scarier are people with those two qualities and ambition. If Harold were to marry Jessica, Snow Corporation might even turn into Lennox Corporation in the future.
Jessica isn’t that stupid.”
Forrest understood. “Isn’t she afraid that I…”
He hesitated after he spoke. The fact that he and Jessica had gotten married should not be revealed for now.
“Because she trusts your character fully.” Ryan patted Forrest’s shoulders. “I’m heading inside. I’ll send you the address on Whatsapp.”
Ryan left.
After he entered the villa, Forrest stood outside alone without speaking.
Mireya approached Ryan and asked nosily, “What did my brother talk to you about?”
“He asked for Jessica’s address.” Ryan hugged her. He did not hide anything.
“Why would my brother want her address?” Mireya’s eyes widened in circles. “Have they gotten back together?”
