Chapter 2503
Christian said, “Besides, when I went overseas to attend the university’s anniversary event last year, I
bumped into Jessica’s university friend, Ashley. Ashley said it was a pity that you and Jessica broke up.
However, Jessica had her reasons too. She’s the eldest young lady of the Snow family. Her fate was
destined since she was born. The Snow family gave birth to her, nurtured her, and gave her the best
resources. How could she not care about anything at all after graduating? That would be unrealistic.
The world of the wealthy is like that. The more you have, the heavier the burden on your shoulders.
Aren’t you supporting Lynch Corporation as well?”
Forrest’s delicate lips trembled.
After graduating, he had never joined any alumni gatherings.
He was afraid of going to familiar places as that would arouse his memories.
He was afraid the people he knew would mention Jessica.
The world was actually pretty small. As Forrest used to date Jessica, many of his friends knew
Jessica’s friends from university too.
“You didn’t tell me about bumping into Ashley,” Forrest said in a low voice after a while. “How is she
doing now?”
“She got married and had children long ago.” Christian patted Forrest’s shoulders. “Brother, stop
harboring so much hatred. Don’t keep hating Jessica. You did love her, but you weren’t the one who
gave birth to her or raised her. Would you be willing to give up your family for her sake? Would you
bear to do that? Now that you two are successful in your careers and have finally gotten back together,
you should cherish each other. Have a child while you’ re still young. A lot of time has been wasted.
Stop letting time slip by.” Forrest lowered his gaze. He did not say a word for a long time.
Just as Christian was about to leave to let Forrest process everything, Forrest suddenly said, “ Handle
the matter regarding the Bentley as you see fit. The perpetrator’s attitude wasn’t good yesterday. Since
he doesn’t have the money, I don’t need him to compensate for the Bentley’s repair fees. However, if
he wants us to pay for the repair of his car, that’s impossible.”
“I hold the same opinion.”
Christian left very soon.
Forrest hesitated for a moment. He took his phone out and dialed Jessica’s number. No one picked up.
He threw his phone aside with annoyance. After a moment, he picked it up again and sent a message:
[Call me back. ]
In the end, he did not receive a call even after he got off work.
When he rushed back to the condominium, he found that the place was almost the same as when
Jessica left in the morning.
Forrest’s heart tightened when he recalled her words last night about wanting to leave. He did not even
have the mood to cook now.
Then, Mrs. Lynch called. “Are you not coming back to eat or sleep tonight as well? Forrest, you haven’t
been coming back to sleep in these few days. Be honest with me. Are you afraid of me forcing you to
get married, so you don’t even want to come home now?”
“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 Freya 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 Freya started dating, Ryan was almost a resident of the villa. Usually, if Freya 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.”
