Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife
Chapter 663 - 363: How Can Anyone Put Up with You Always Flirting
CHAPTER 663: CHAPTER 363: HOW CAN ANYONE PUT UP WITH YOU ALWAYS FLIRTING
Jane Quinlan pursed her lips, it was about Evie Larkin’s matter.
She shook her head: "I don’t have any thoughts on it."
"Initially, I had also planned to not get involved.
But over these past few days, I’ve thought it over carefully... and decided to listen to your opinion.
Forrest wants Evie to spend her whole life in prison.
I think this punishment is a bit too harsh.
Evie did something wrong, that’s true, and there must be punishment.
But a lifetime... a person only has one lifetime."
The words of the elder Forrest made Jane Quinlan think of Evelyn Claire.
Wasn’t Evelyn Claire the one who committed suicide because she didn’t want to be sentenced to death or to life imprisonment, to suffer a lifetime in jail?
Evie Larkin is now trapped in prison, a person who has lost their freedom probably has also lost their will to live.
"Uncle, about Miss Larkin’s matter, I really don’t have any thoughts.
It’s just that last time... the incident with her hitting me has indeed been difficult to let go of.
I do want to forgive her, but I am also genuinely afraid.
If I forgive her, will she think I’m weak and continue to affect my happiness with Kay Forrest?
A person’s true nature cannot be controlled by others.
She’s scared now, but once she gets out, will she continue to think that Kay should belong to her, that I stole her happiness?
I can bet on her humanity once more.
But I don’t dare gamble with the child in my womb.
During the car accident, in that instant, I was begging God not to harm my child.
I managed to escape a disaster this time, but what if there’s a next time?"
Grayson Forrest looked at her: "If I let her leave Eldoria, would you be willing to give her a chance?"
Jane Quinlan pursed her lips and looked at Grayson Forrest, at a time like this, he should actually be very worried about Evie Larkin.
But he had never come to discuss this matter with her during the many previous days.
Presumably, he had also fully considered her stance.
Jane Quinlan exhaled, to be merciful where mercy is due, she might as well trust the elderly Forrest’s decision once more.
"Uncle, this matter is up to you to decide.
If you think she can be forgiven, then I will not object."
While they were talking, a displeased voice from Kay emerged from the living room: "I object."
The elder Forrest and Jane Quinlan turned their heads to look, Kay, who had originally been upstairs playing games with Nina Norris, had come down without them knowing.
He walked up to Jane with a cold face and glared at Kay: "Dad, if there’s anything, just talk to me about it, why bother Jane with this."
Jane awkwardly patted Kay Forrest: "You’ve misunderstood, we haven’t finished talking, don’t rush to anger."
"What did I misunderstand? Dad, I was wondering how you had a change of heart this time, not taking Evie Larkin’s side.
Turns out you were just waiting to talk to Jane about it.
Didn’t I tell you before, there is no room for second-guessing.
Can you at least respect my decision?
That kind of woman, why are you saving her at all?"
Grayson Forrest looked towards Kay: "I didn’t say I must save her, I was just asking for Jane’s opinion."
"You don’t have to ask, this woman is soft-hearted and respects elders.
As long as you say you want to help Evie Larkin, she will definitely not oppose you.
I’m clear on this point, isn’t this why you are bringing it up to Jane, knowing her personality?
I tell you, a person like Evie Larkin cannot change her spots.
I’ve given her chances, she has nobody to blame but herself.
Do you really think that just because you owe her father, our Forrest family should be indebted to her for generations to come?
There is no room for discussion."
Grayson Forrest looked at Kay without a word: "Fine, fine, we won’t discuss it, is that okay? Will you be satisfied if we do it your way?
As for you, I really don’t understand where you got such a lousy temper, who did you inherit it from, to be so messed up?"
"Messed up? Then I got it from you."
Kay snorted and took Jane Quinlan’s hand: "Let’s go, Nina wants to go back, we’re leaving too."
"Let’s stay here tonight," Jane did not want Kay to leave on bad terms with his dad right after an argument.
Father and son should not harbor overnight resentment.
"Stay here?" Kay looked at Jane wordlessly, this girl, what kind of scene is she throwing now?
"Didn’t we agree before, to come back and stay for a few days every once in a while?"
Kay turned his head to look at Grayson Forrest, guessing that the old man probably acted pitiful in front of Jane again.
Grayson Forrest grunted: "What are you looking at?"
Jane Quinlan stood up, pulling Kay Forrest aside, "Weren’t you getting along well with your dad recently?
Why do you seem like you’ve been taken over by a porcupine today?
We did agree to come back and stay for a few days more often."
"That was then, can’t I change my mind now?"
"No," Jane shook her head, "I like husbands who keep their word."
Kay glared at Jane, "You woman, how come you’re so good at ganging up with my dad to annoy me."
"We’re not trying to annoy you, it’s nice for the family to be happy together, isn’t it?
Besides, it’s really not fun for your dad living alone.
It wouldn’t hurt to stay here for a few days now and then.
Plus, you’ll be at work during the day; you only have to spend a little bit of time with Forrest Senior in the evening."
Kay tapped her on the nose, "Are you dumb? I’m worried about you being uncomfortable."
"I won’t be uncomfortable," Jane pursed her lips, "Alright, it’s settled then.
Nina is leaving, right? Go send her off. I’ll sit with Uncle for a little longer."
Kay shook his head speechlessly and turned to leave.
Jane returned to the balcony and sat down, Grayson Forrest asked, "Did that kid leave on his own?"
"No, Nina left, and he went to see her off. We’re not leaving tonight."
"Jane, did my words just now make you feel uncomfortable?
Forget it, Kay is right, let’s pretend I never said those words."
Jane pursed her lips and whispered softly, "Anyway, I trust Uncle. Whatever you say, we’ll do. I have no objections."
Grayson once again felt that raising a daughter was better, truly heartwarming.
Kay came back from seeing off Nina, trembling from the cold.
He approached the balcony and embraced Jane, looking at the two, "Are you still discussing that matter?"
"No, we were talking about something else."
Grayson glanced at Kay, "You, always staring and glaring at me.
You’ll be a dad soon, I’d like to see if you can do a better job than me."
"Of course I’ll do better than you. Enough talk, we’re going upstairs to rest, and you should go to sleep early too."
Kay took Jane by the hand to stand up, Jane looked at Forrest Senior, who waved his hand at her, signaling her to go upstairs to sleep.
After they went upstairs, Jane said, "Does your butt catch fire when you sit with your dad?"
"Talking with someone you disagree with always results in more words, don’t you know that?"
Jane shook her head, "Hmm, no, I don’t know. Hey, Kay, I have something to tell you, I won’t be going to work at the office starting tomorrow."
"Oh? Had a change of heart?"
"No, I’ve decided to start learning tea ceremony from tomorrow, to cultivate my body and mind."
Kay rubbed his temples, "Your dad must have suggested it."
Jane frowned at him.
"Why are you silent?"
"If I speak, you’ll surely say that my dad is meddling too much again.
But actually, Uncle is doing it for my own good.
Learning a new skill as a girl adds to one’s charm, doesn’t it?
Every time I see Faye Townsend, I feel inferior. Why?
Isn’t it because she has elegance, while I seem casual?
I just think... Forrest Senior’s suggestion is useful for me."
Kay raised his hand to rub her head, "I haven’t said anything yet, and you’re already attacking me.
I just thought this was my dad’s idea, so I was asking you.
If you really like learning, then go ahead.
But if my dad is forcing you, then you don’t have to.
Even if you have no skills at all, I still like you.
My love for you has nothing to do with any talents you may have."
As soon as Kay finished speaking, Jane immediately felt very moved.
She wrapped her arms around Kay’s neck, "Buddy, you talk so sweetly, it makes me just want to pamper you well."
Kay rolled his eyes at her, "Go away, over there. Didn’t I say this afternoon? I’m going to punish you, you can’t touch me for ten days."
Jane coquettishly said, "Oh, my lord, can you really bear to ignore me, when I’m here waiting for your love with all my heart."
Kay lifted her up horizontally and glared at her, "You demon, you’re infuriating me to the point where my gun is getting hard. Come on, polish the gun for daddy."
Jane smirked, "So no more playing the abstinent handsome man, huh."
"I wish, you’re always tempting people, how could anyone stand it? Shut up, you’re not allowed to say anything tonight, the young master wants to punish you properly."
