âWho is bullying?, Forrest, you should be reasonable.â Jessica said while raising her head and facing the anger on her face. Forrest, who had been enraged just moments before, met her tired eyes the next. The personâs entire body froze at that point.
âI admit, I went a little too far that day, butâ¦â
âDo you think I did something wrong to you?â
Jessica said, interrupting him, âWhen you drive my car, pick up. Do you think I lied to you when I said I went to Abdielâs house for dinner at night and that something bad happened to him?â
Forrest was taken aback for a moment, and he truly believed it.
âForrest, you know, I used to think that if I married you, weâd live together every day, have a child in the future, and one day weâd be back in the same situation as before, but I didnât, and our relationship has deteriorated. You donât believe me at all because you lack trust, and you even concluded that I broke up with you once, despite the fact that I am a shy woman.â
âEvery time you donât trust me in the future, it will be like that day,â Jessica said, her eyes with full of pain,âTo be honest, Iâm afraid of pain, and Iâm afraid that even though it hurts a lot, Iâll have to drive alone to get stitches, and Iâm afraid that when I get to the hospital, someone will ask me if I want to call the cops.â
Forrest was embarrassed and ashamed of herself. âSorry.â
If it had been before, he might not have believed a word she said.
However, after speaking with Colt Judson and Ryan, he realized that he shouldnât simply blame her.
Jessica gave him a surprised look, probably not expecting him to apologize on his own initiative.
âI assure you, something like this will never happen again.â Forrest also pondered, whether Jessica had betrayed him or not, Forrest should not act in this manner.
Itâs possible that Forrest loses his calm every time he sees Jessica.
He was so disgusted with himself that he felt ashamed of himself.
Jessica was taken aback once more, and she couldnât think of anything to say for a while.
âThere is indeed a lack of trust between us,â Forrest reflected, âbut you have to consider how many years we have been apart, how many places we have changed, I⦠Actually, I donât know much about you now, so quarrels are unavoidable; however, I can promise you that if you quarrel next time, I will never hurt you; of course, if you betray me again, I will not be angry or hate you Now, because there is no need for it; when the time comes to divorce, each of you will walk on his own single-plank bridge.â
He had been thinking about it all night last night.
Some things have been figured out completely.
To say that he doesnât love Jessica any longer is an understatement. Others can be deceived by emotional issues, but not by himself.
Forrest was out of control, just like when Jessica was leaving with her luggage the night before, and he knew that he couldnât bear her.
Even if Jessica hadnât broken up with him at the start, would the two of them have a result as a result of Colt Judsonâs words?
Obviously, this is not possible.
The twoâs personalities were very different at the time.
Forrest was too young and arrogant at the time, and he wouldnât have been able to keep it up now.
Jessicaâs words also made him realize that Ryan has been working hard to get closer to him, whether itâs because he loves her or is nostalgic for the first love who died.
Furthermore, the two of them are not too small, so itâs worth a shot.
Jessica was completely silent.
Since they reconnected, this was the first time they had a peaceful conversation.
Forrest seemed to be possessed by a ghost, according to her.
âThat day, I⦠lied to you, saying I wanted to return to my place, not because of Abdiel. I justâ¦,â
Jessica suddenly said after a long time. âI didnât want to be with you that day because I needed to rest.
Iâm too tired to take it any longer, and you always have trouble talking in bed.â
Jessica turned her face out the window unnaturally after speaking; even though she has always been a strong woman, she is not embarrassed in this regard; otherwise, she will keep it in her heart without saying anything.
