It felt like he had a home in a foreign country with her presence.
However, it was all too realistic that Forrest was left in unbearable pain for all those years.
He really hated this woman.
When they reached the suite’s door, Forest suddenly pushed Jessica against the wall. He kissed her like a madman.
The back of Jessica’s head hit the wall. It was so painful that she almost fainted. Before she could recover from it, she felt an intense pain on her lips. Blood flowed in their mouths.
She was in pain, but she felt like she was alive again.
She had been constantly scheming and calculating everything all these years, yet she was not satisfied. Instead, she was like an old person who was about to die.
Now, she could finally grasp her own future.
She simply wanted to live for herself and have a good time for once.
She reached out and removed his suit.
Both of them tumbled onto the bed in a mess. The night was getting darker…
The next day, Forrest had a terrible headache when he woke up.
He sat up. The blanket fell to his waist. The delicate body beside him was revealed too. However, that soft body was covered in hickeys. Jessica shivered. Her usually cool eyes were filled with seductiveness when she opened them.
Their gazes met. Both of them were wide awake in an instant.
Forrest’s icy face was utterly stiff. Nevertheless, the things that had happened last night kept playing in his head like a movie.
He desperately wanted to beat himself up to death. At the same time, his gaze grew colder. “I finally understand. Last night, Eldest Young Lady Snow colluded with Ryan to make me drunk so that it was easier to get me into bed, right?”
Jessica’s expression paled from being accused out of nowhere.
Forrest sneered. It was as if the words that came out of his mouth were laced with poison. “Jessica, are you that lonely? You’re even throwing yourself at men. Do you even know any shame? Oh, I forgot. You got married to a sickly person for the sake of power and status. Your man died long ago and there’s no one to satisfy you, right?”
“Forrest, watch your mouth.”
Jessica’s captivating eyes shook from anger. If it was not Forrest, she would have killed the person who said that to her ten thousand times. However, because it was him, she could not bring herself to hurt him.
“Did I say anything wrong?” Forrest lost his usual calm too. Only when he faced her would he turn into a porcupine covered in thorns. He desperately wanted to pierce her all over. “How old are you?
Aren’t you clear what will happen when a woman brings a drunken man to a room? Ha, I’m fine with it. It would be a waste not to sleep with a woman who voluntarily came to me anyway.”
“Forrest… Do things have to be this strained between us?” Jessica’s heart was throbbing in pain.
“Strained?”
Forrest laughed. “Am I the one who wants it to be this way? Jessica, you should know it better than anyone else. You’re too cruel. After returning to Australia back then, what did you promise me? You said you’d let me propose our marriage to your parents after some time. However, I waited and waited. In the end, you broke up with me before you got married to another man.
“Never mind that, why did you switch my sister’s medicine? After she got pregnant, you even threatened her with the Lynch family’s matters.
You did not allow her to get an abortion and had her marry your useless brother. How had all of you Snow family members hurt and betrayed Mireya? She has always been doted on in our family since young. The Snow family destroyed everything.
” If you have even a sliver of conscience, or if you even have a trace of guilt toward me, you wouldn’t have hurt my sister like that. What’s done is done and can’t be reversed, do you know that?”
Jessica clenched her hands that were under the blanket. Her pretty face was as pale as snow with a bitter and painful expression. “Forrest, switching your sister’s medicine was the biggest mistake of my life. I was selfish. I thought that after the Lynch and Snow families were brought together, I would be able to… meet you…”
“I see.” Forrest looked like he had heard the most absurd joke in the world. He laughed out loud until his eyes reddened. “That means I was the one who harmed Mireya. If I could do everything again, I f*cking wish that I never met you overseas back then. Me getting to know you is the Lynch family’s greatest misfortune.”
He put on his clothes after he spoke. Then, he slammed the door and left.
Behind him, Jessica’s chin was raised haughtily, but tears were falling from the corners of her eyes.
In her world, her head could not be lowered even if she was crying.
Forrest exited the suite in a daze. After he got in the car, he buried his head in his knees in agony.
His phone rang. It was Mireya.
“Brother, are you awake?”
Hearing his sister’s voice, Forrest’s heart was filled with guilt.
As a brother, he did not check on Mireya and Patrick properly. He could not even be of help when she was with Rodney afterward.
No matter how successful his career was, he had failed in his responsibilities as a brother in the family.
“Brother, I didn’t disturb… your good time, right?” Mireya snickered playfully.
Forrest’s chest felt stuffy. “Did you and Ryan do it on purpose last night?”
“Brother, you’ve wrongly accused me. Ryan was drunk last night and he dirtied his clothes when he puked. I had no choice but to send him back.” Mireya would not admit anything at all. “Haha, I was thinking that since you and Jessica were alone together—“
“Mireya, stop trying to bring us together. It’s impossible for Jessica and me, ” Forrest interrupted her coldly.
“It’s fine, Brother. Don’t hide things anymore. I saw you and Jessica quarreling at the Snow family’s manor last time. She’s your first love, right?” Mireya said lazily, “After coming back to Australia, you buried yourself in work. There was no news about your love life. At first, I thought it was because you hadn’t met the person who could stir your heart. Afterward, I realized there was already someone in your heart.”
“You’re overthinking. Jessica and I are a thing of the past. Besides, I’ll never forgive everything she did to you. Don’t you hate her too? If it weren’t for her forcing you— “
“Brother, I don’t hate Jessica. Besides Ryan, she contributed a lot to my smooth divorce.”
“She wasn’t doing it for you. She did it to steal Rodney’s inheritance rights. She’s a shrewd person. She prioritizes benefits more than anything else.”
“Brother, you’ve never interacted with the Snow family members much, so you might not know them well. I believe if Jessica hadn’t threatened me back then, there would’ve been other people to do it. Some people might be even crueler.”
Mireya sighed. “Look at Uncle Jason and Aunt Wendy. They were only treating me well all along because Jessica had acted as the evil person. They only had to put on nice facades occasionally.
However, they had been instructing Jessica to do some things behind the scenes.”
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.”
Mireya 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.”
Mireya 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 Mireya’s words were logical.
His sister had really grown up and become sensible.
“Mireya, 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?”
Mireya 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. Mireya, 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.”
Mireya hung up after she spoke.
She sat in the car looking spiritless. She could not sleep last night.
