The air was filled with an eerie silence for a while.
Then, Harold suddenly touched his forehead and laughed as though he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.
After he was done laughing, he turned his eyes to Jessica. "Jessica, are you insane?"
"I'm not.” On the contrary, Jessica thought that Forrest might have gone insane.
Before yesterday, Forrest shunned his identity. Yet now, he was happy to reveal it publicly. Things had gone utterly out of her control.
Harold rose to his feet with a tense, angry expression on his face. "No, Jessica. I think you're no longer sensible. Are there no other men in the world that the Snows only want to be with the Lynches? Your parents can’t possibly agree with it. This is absurd.'
"How is this absurd? We’re not related by blood either," Forrest refuted coldly. “ What’s more, this affair is between the Lynches and the Snows. It has nothing to do with the Lennox family."
If a gaze could kill, Harold must have killed Forrest several times.
Harold turned his gaze to Jessica. "Jessica, I'm saying these things to you only because I treat you as my friend. Don’t let him con you. After all, it's not easy for you to have come this far."
After that, he said, "I'll take my leave now and leave the both of you alone."
He had to question the Snow family about it when he got back later. He believed that the Snow family would not be able to accept it either.
It exasperated him that all his plans were destroyed.
