Chapter 2450
Jessica put her documents aside and leaned her petite body against the leather chair. She observed
Ryan and smiled. “How are things going? When are you nning to get married?”
“It’s still too early for that. Even if I agree, the Lynch family won’t.” Ryan touched his nose. He still had
some self-awareness. “On the other hand, the Lynch family keeps urging Forrest. If he doesn’t bring a
girlfriend back this year, Mr. and Mrs. Lynch will probably make a big fuss.”
Jessica was stunned. Then, her elegant eyes went downcast. Her thick, dark eyshes left a dark
shadow on her face.
“What do you think of this?” Ryan watched Jessica.
“Me?” She pressed her lips together, feeling bitter. “I don’t know either. In his heart, I’m probably just a
despicable woman.”
Jessica had made an effort before, but Forrest was too cold. He was like a block of ice with thorns-cold
and prickly.
Actually, she could understand. She did not me him. Everyone had their own standpoint. However, it
was a fact that she was the one who betrayed their rtionship first.
“Think about it properly. Both of you are single. There’s still a chance. If you miss this chance, there
might be no more possibilities.”
Ryan leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows quietly. He felt like although Jessica seemed to have
everything in this lifetime, she was actually shouldering very heavy responsibilities with a bitter heart.
Other people could only get a glimpse of what it was like on the surface.
After a moment of silence, Jessica suddenly raised her head and looked at the handsome Ryan. She
lifted her eyebrows. “I’m skilled at handling matters regarding work, but as for rtionships… I can’t
compare to you at all.
What clever tricks do you have?” Ryan was deep in thought for a few seconds. He smiled. “If I were
you… I’d surely use some bullying methods. With President Snow’s ability, forcing Forrest to be with
you is an easy task.”
Jessica widened her eyes in astonishment.
It was as if she had heard a bizarre thing. “This… isn’t too good, right? Forrest’s personality is
completely different from Freya’s. The more you force him, the more he’ll retaliate. He’ll despise me
more too.”
“How can there be love without hatred?” Ryan grinned. “Have you heard of the durian fruit? It’s super
smelly. Some people refuse to eat it because it stinks. However, if you press their heads down and they
take a bite, they’ll realize that it gets sweeter as they eat it.”
“….”
Jessica was speechless. Was she the durian?Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Smelly? Delicious when eaten?
That analogy was weird. “Think about it yourself.” Ryan put his hands in the pockets of his pants. “It all
goes down to whether you’re ruthless enough to lock him in your embrace. On the surface, he’ll resist
with all his might. However, after living under the same roof and seeing your pretty face every day,
coupled with some asional tactics, he might very well fall for you after some time passes.”
In the middle of the night, Jessica’s heart was distracted from being persuaded by Ryan.
Nevertheless… she still found it too absurd.
She was indeed a strong, capable woman in the eyes of the public. Sometimes, she would go to any
lengths to reach her goals.
However, she was not as bold when it came to rtionships.
Ryan pressed his palms on the table and smiled faintly. “Actually, it doesn’t seem like Forrest has
gotten over you as he hasn’t gotten married even after so many years. It’s just that he can’t act as
though nothing happened. If you force him, he’ll either resist with all his might or give in to you after
resisting for some time. If it’s the former, he might really have no feelings for you anymore. If it’s the
latter… It means that you still stand a chance.”
Jessica blinked.
Did it really work that way?
Were those not methods used by bossy guys in romance novels? She was a woman… A woman.
She would feel ashamed if she was asked to force a man.
