CHAPTER 578: CHAPTER 285: FORREST, WHY DO I ADMIRE YOU SO MUCH? (3 MORE UPDATES)_2
"When you were setting them up initially, how come you didn’t think something like this could happen?"
Jane Quinlan pouted: "Oh, stop scolding me, help me out now.
I don’t want to see them fighting, it’s such a headache."
"Tell me, what’s the situation?"
Jane excitedly recounted the situation.
Kay Forrest curled his lips with a smile at her: "You seem pretty smart usually, so why are you chickening out now?"
"What are you talking about, don’t get cocky. It’s said that even an honest official finds it hard to settle domestic disputes."
Kay Forrest gave her a head pat: "Such a trivial issue, come out with me."
The two of them left the room together. Kay went to sit in the spot where Jane had been sitting, and Jane sat on the back of the chair next to him.
Upon his arrival, Benjamin Quinlan and Daisy Zenith quieted down a bit.
"Have you two finished quarreling? If you haven’t, keep going. I’ll talk after you’re done."
Both of them felt awkward for a moment. Benjamin Quinlan said, "Director Forrest, no need to tease us.
I really didn’t expect our problems to bother you; Jane, why can’t you be worry-free."
"It’s not really Jane’s fault, she just wants you two to get along," Kay said with a mischievous smile. "Don’t blame the wrong person."
"Director Forrest, if you have something to say, just say it."
Kay Forrest asked, "Daisy, when you said you wanted to break up with Benjamin, were you serious?"
"I didn’t mean it, I was just angry, but he..."
"Stop there, just answer up to that point," Kay Forrest cut Daisy off.
Daisy took a deep breath and leaned back. What was Director Forrest thinking, not letting her finish her sentence? This would leave her feeling very stifled.
Kay Forrest then turned to Benjamin Quinlan: "Benjamin, when you said you wanted to break up with Daisy, were you serious?"
Benjamin turned to look at Daisy and ultimately shook his head.
Daisy was surprised: "But you sounded so serious when you said it."
"Daisy, shut up," Kay Forrest cut off her speech.
Daisy felt aggrieved with no outlet to vent, but she knew, since Director Forrest told her not to speak, there must be a reason.
Kay Forrest asked Benjamin, "So why did you say you and Daisy aren’t suitable?"
Benjamin sighed without speaking.
Kay Forrest crossed his arms: "Whether you speak or not is up to you, I’ll only mediate for you this once, miss this opportunity and there won’t be another one like it."
Benjamin raised his eyebrows: "It’s not that I’m saying Daisy’s not good or that I have an issue with her past boyfriends.
What I care about is whether Daisy can give me a warm home.
Actually, I also know that there’s nothing wrong with meeting her parents.
But, I feel like we still have unresolved issues between us.
I don’t want to put in futile effort before that."
Daisy, feeling wronged: "But you never told me, if you’re unsatisfied with me, shouldn’t you have told me earlier?"
Jane Quinlan curled her lips: "Brother, love isn’t about conquering the world. Why be so secretive? If you have something to say, just say it."
Kay Forrest casually raised his hand: "Supporting Jane, +1."
Daisy spoke seriously: "Then tell me now, what about me do you find so unacceptable?"
"You’re lazy. I’ve never seen a woman as lazy as you.
We both work all day.
When we get back, you just throw up your hands, acting like the Grand Lady, making me do this and that.
You even want me to get you a glass of water.
If I choose to do these things for you, that’s because I spoil you.
But if it’s your orders, I start to feel a sense of dread.
Moreover, the kitchen has everything one could ever need.
Tell me, have you ever cooked me a meal?
The home I want isn’t one where the stove is never lit.
I told you the first day we met that I could do anything except cook; that’s my only flaw.
What did you say? You said you could cook. So what happened?"
Benjamin Quinlan said that, and Daisy bit her lip: "I thought... since we’re madly in love, you’d want to go out to eat with me."
"Where else can you date that’s more comfortable than in your own little nest?"
Jane nodded, it made sense.
Kay Forrest asked, "Is that what you think? Do you have any other opinions about Daisy?"
Benjamin shook his head: "No, she’s good to me and generous, with a good temperament, loving and cheerful.
Sometimes when I’m in a bad mood, she knows how to cheer me up.
She’s a good girl, I’ll admit that."
Daisy’s eyes flickered, her anger from before gone.
Kay Forrest looked at Daisy again: "Do you agree with what Benjamin just said?"
Daisy didn’t make a sound.
"Then can you change? Indeed, a girl shouldn’t be too lazy.
My Jane does everything around the house.
Even if I don’t let her, she can’t sit still.
The more diligent she is, the more I want to spoil her, that’s how men are."
Daisy nodded: "I can change."
"Then do you have any complaints about Benjamin?"
Daisy looked at Benjamin: "He’s too reserved.
There are things he won’t tell you even if you ask.
He’s not honest enough with people.
These issues aren’t big deals; if he could tell me right from the start, we wouldn’t have to fight.
I like to be with people who are honest."
Kay Forrest looked at Benjamin: "Can you do it?"
"I’ve thought about saying it, but I was afraid of hurting her self-esteem."
Kay Forrest clapped his hands: "See, problem solved.
Starting now, I’m taking Jane away, you two need to talk.
Whether to continue or break up, it’s up to you to decide."
Seeing the full affection when Jane looked at them, she knew they wouldn’t break up.
She smiled and left with Kay Forrest.
Kay Forrest is impressive indeed.
For some reason, she admired this man even more now.
After arriving at the complex, Kay Forrest parked the car, "Let’s go, home."
Jane pouted and smiled: "Forrest, let’s take a walk."
"Aren’t you afraid of the cold?"
"If it gets cold, I’ll warm my hands inside your clothes."
Kay Forrest smiled: "Let’s go."
They got out of the car and walked hand in hand under the street lights of the complex, braving the cold wind.
At this time, there weren’t many people walking in the complex.
After walking for a few minutes, Kay Forrest asked her, "Why aren’t you talking?"
"I’m thinking about something."
"What is it?"
"Forrest, why do I admire you so much? I seem to be getting more dependent on you."
She said this with a side glance and a smile towards him: "Have you noticed? I’m kind of clingy now. Doesn’t it annoy you?"
"I’m too busy liking it, why would I be annoyed?"
"Have you noticed, we’ve never really fought like my brother and Daisy."
Just now when Benjamin and Daisy were in the midst of an unsolvable argument, Jane thought that she and Kay Forrest really clicked, never getting into an insurmountable fight over any big or small issue, perhaps the most precious thing in a love life.
Kay Forrest raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Life is so short, there’s not enough time to love each other every day, who has time to fight."
"But what if one day we do fight? If I impulsively say I want to break up with you, would you, like my brother, angrily agree to break up, or would you coax me?" Jane asked, looking at him expectantly, truly wanting to know his answer.
