Jessica raised her head. In the face of
Forrest's furious yet handsome face, she was speechless and helpless. "Who's the bully now? Forrest, please be reasonable.”
Forrest, who was angry just a second ago, froze when he met her weary eyes.
"I admit that I went too far that day, but I thought-"
"You thought I wronged you, didn't you?"
Jessica interrupted him. "You picked up Harold's call when you drove my car, right? You thought I lied to you and went to his house for dinner. You even thought we might've done the deed."
Forrest was momentarily dumbfounded. Indeed, that was what he thought.
"Forrest, I used to think that after we got married, we'd be able to spend every day together and give birth to a child in the future, allowing our relationship to return to how it was back then. However, I've overlooked the fact that there's no trust in our relationship anymore. You don't trust me at all. You even perceive me as a flirt ever since we broke up."
A touch of sadness appeared in Jessica's eyes. "Are you going to treat me the same as you did the other day whenever you don't trust me? Honestly, I'm afraid of pain. But despite that fear, I had to endure it and drive myself there to have my wound stitched. I was afraid of having other people ask me to call the police when I reached the hospital."
Forrest was so embarrassed. "I'm sorry."
If this were in the past, he might not have
believed what she said.
However, after having a talk with Christian and Ryan, he understood that he should not blame her.
Jessica looked at him in surprise, probably because she did not expect him to apologize of his own accord.
"I promise you that this will never happen again." Forrest deeply reflected on himself. Regardless of whether Jessica had betrayed him, he should not have done those kinds of things.
It could probably be because he easily lost his composure every time he was with Jessica.
Even he hated himself for it.
