Chapter 251

Adrian lowered his head and chuckled, “Timothy… You’ve gone too far!

“If Madelyn’s suffering were to happen to you, and everyone mocked you for your suffering, would you still find it funny?”

Adrian tried his best to make Timothy understand the weight of his words, since Timothy could not put himself in other people’s shoes.

Timothy remained silent.

Adrian continued, “Besides, a child shouldn’t be held responsible for their parent’s wrongdoings.” We’re living in a society governed by laws. All those crimes that Hayson committed will eventually be exposed to the public, and he’ll receive legal punishment. Madelyn’s done nothing wrong, but you’re blaming Hayson’s wrongdoings on her. Do you really think that makes sense?”

Timothy still did not speak.

Adrian said, “Forrest may look reckless, but he always has his reasons for what he does. He isn’t as bad as you think. It’s true that he looks like a jerk, since he doesn’t study and just hangs out with pretty schoolgirls, always drinks and plays cards. He’s got a fancy life,” Adrian added, “But have you ever seen him spend a night with a girl?”

Timothy could not believe what he had just heard. “Wait, are you saying he’s never been with a girl?

So, all that stuff about him and the girl from Southview University was just rumors?” Then his mind turned to Jadie, and he blurted out, “And what about Jadie? He’s into her, right?

Remember that night they rode off a bike together? There’s definitely something between them!”

Adrian smiled slightly as he looked at the lake in front of him. The wind lifted the hair on his forehead. He responded, “I’m guessing that he did it so Madelyn would see it.”

He pondered, ‘Maybe he’s been interested in Madelyn for a long time.”

Timothy could not understand it. “Why?! What makes you say that? I don’t believe it!”

Adrian explained, “Actually, Forrest had already started to have a soft spot for Madelyn back when he was in the hospital.”

Timothy exclaimed, “Are you kidding me?!”

Adrian responded, “Do you still remember that crescent moon tattoo on Forrest’s stomach when Adrian lowered his head and chuckled, “Timothy… You’ve gone too far!

Adrian explained, “Actually, Forrest had already started to have a soft spot for Madelyn back when he was in the hospital.”

Timothy exclaimed, “Are you kidding me?!”

Adrian responded, “Do you still remember that crescent moon tattoo on Forrest’s stomach when Timothy vaguely remembered it. At that time, he had even ridiculed Forrest for it, but Forrest had ignored him.

Timothy wondered, ‘So, Forrest has been interested in Madelyn from the very beginning?”

He pondered aloud, “Why didn’t he pursue Madelyn then? Why was he always so unfriendly towards her? Back when Jadie was bullied, Forrest almost strangled Madelyn to death because he thought she was the person behind it. If he really liked her, wouldn’t doing that only push her further away?

“Hmm… Why does none of this make sense?”

Adrian said, “Well, only Forrest himself knows why he did all that. He got what he wanted…”

Indeed, he had gotten what he wanted and paid for it with his life.

Adrian patted Timothy’s shoulder, “I’ve told you so much. Do you get it now?”

He thought, ‘Knowing Timothy’s mindset and personality, he’ll probably keep supporting Forrest.”

Adrian and Timothy had never cared about Forrest’s background in the first place.

Forrest was indeed a friend worth keeping for a lifetime, and they had known each other for many years.

They would be friends for life.
