Chapter 2529

It was like what Ryan said. Jessica was making an effort to be with Forrest, so he had to work hard as
well.

In the past, Forrest had accused her of being selfish for benefits. However, she had even abandoned
her career for him now. If he still questioned her feelings, it would be inhumane of him.

Thinking about it, he never seemed to have sacrificed anything for Jessica’s sake. He simply blamed
her for betraying their relationship back then.

“Forrest…”

On the other end of the call, Jessica’s heart raced. She did not understand Forrest’s sudden change. “
There’s still an hour until I get off work…”
“I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Forrest said hastily.

«.Okay.”

When the call ended, both of them were still ina daze.

In the office upstairs, Jessica held her phone in silence. After being deep in thought for some time, she
could roughly understand the situation. Forrest probably thought that she had given up her job at the
company for him. It was likely that he was feeling touched, just like what Ryan said. It was strangely
funny yet complicated.

It was only yesterday she was distressed over their relationship and future. She even thought that they
were not suited for each other. She did not expect a dramatic change to happen in a day. Jessica
should feel happy and forget about the hurt from that night, but… there was still some uncertainty and
nervousness growing in her heart. Knock, knock.

The sound of the door being knocked on came from outside.



“Come in.”

Jessica returned to her seat. Harold walked over in quick strides. His expression was grim. “Are you
really resigning? Jessica, I can’t believe you’d do such a thing. Do you have other ideas in mind?”
Jessica raised her head and gazed at him. “What ideas do you think I should have?”



“You’ve always been smart. I can’t makea guess.” Harold frowned. “However, I believe that you’re not a
foolish person. Now, your dad can’t do anything about you in Snow Corporation. Why did you give out
such a favorable situation that you paved? If Uncle gets his influence back, he’ll surely prioritize
supporting his son.”

“That’s right. No matter how much hard work I put in, I’m always a daughter.”

Jessica smiled noncommittally. “See? It’s thanks to you telling my parents about my relationship with
Forrest. They were so angry. In their hearts, Forrest isn’t interested in me but Snow Corporation.
They’re saying that as long as I remain in Snow Corporation, I won’t be able to make decisions about
my marriage. I don’t think my eye for men is that bad, so I voluntarily resigned. This way, no one will
stop us from being together.”

Harold looked at her in surprise. “Jessica, you’re not such a silly person. I don’t believe it. Is it worth
doing this for a man?”

“Harold, many people are eyeing my position because they haven’t obtained it before. On the other
hand, I have, and it’s just so-so. Besides, I’m a woman, after all. I’ve been alone for a long time. I want
to find a man I love, get married to him, and have children. That’s my wish now.”

At the end of her sentence, there was a hint of gentleness in Jessica’s gaze.



Harold felt as if there was a fly stuck in his throat. “I’’d advise you to calm down. Maybe your parents
aren’t wrong. Forrest isn’t a simple person.” “Thank you for your advice.”
