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 in a 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.
