CHAPTER 670: CHAPTER 370: ENDLESS HAPPINESS, LONG AND EVERLASTING

After hearing Grayson Forrest’s story, Jane Quinlan’s eyes turned red.

She hadn’t known that her mother-in-law had passed away in such a way.

No wonder Uncle said that Kay Forrest hating him was understandable.

Anyone in this situation would hardly feel at ease.

"Jane, sometimes when I think about it, these legs of mine—they’re karma.

Do you know who else was in the car besides me on the day of the accident?"

Jane shook her head: "Matilda. Maybe it was fate. Matilda divorced, and she knew Forrest’s mom passed away, so she came to see me.

After we had dinner and I drove her to the airport, that serious car accident happened.

My legs were crippled, and Matilda passed away in the explosion..."

Grayson Forrest sighed deeply, "In life, we always strive for perfection.

But how often do things truly turn out perfectly?

I failed my wife, failed my son, and failed Matilda.

Guilt has been weighing on me for so long. Now, the only thing I can do is try my hardest to make up for the guilt I feel toward my son."

"Uncle, life only happens once; if you miss it, there’s no turning back.

Your thinking is correct: if you’ve made mistakes, you should do everything you can to make amends.

In the past, I always blamed Forrest for treating you the way he does.

But now that I think about it, he’s actually quite pitiful.

Don’t worry, Uncle, I’ll be kind to him.

I’ll help you make up for that guilt together."

Grayson Forrest nodded with a small smile, "Uncle can only thank you."

That evening, when Kay Forrest returned home, Jane Quinlan took the initiative to show kindness. After some intimacy, Kay asked her, "Why are you being so obedient today?"

Jane teased, "Because I have something to discuss with you—something I doubt you’d want to bring up."

"What is it?"

"Today, Uncle told me about his story from when he was younger.

Suddenly, I can understand why you don’t like him so much."

Kay chuckled dryly, "So? Are you planning to start hating my dad with me from now on?"

Jane shook her head, "No, I’m planning to love you better—and with Uncle, to love you together.

To make up for the lack of parental love you had in your childhood, so that your life will be happier moving forward."

Kay was momentarily touched and pulled her into his arms.

Jane said, "Forrest, I just have one request: could you try forgiving Uncle?

He’s carrying so much guilt for you.

Back then, he didn’t get the chance to say sorry to Auntie.

I don’t want you to hate him all the way to his death, leaving behind a lifetime of regrets.

Family is family. What he did to Auntie was undoubtedly wrong.

But besides being Auntie’s husband, he’s also your father.

Between father and son, is there really so much pain that can’t be healed?"

Kay stared at her for a long time before nodding, "Alright, I’ll promise you—I’ll try to love him.

As for his apology to my mom, he can settle that with her in the afterlife.

Just know one thing—the way my dad and I interact won’t be like other people.

If you see us bickering, don’t assume we’re really fighting."

Jane pressed her lips into a smile—of course she understood this much.

On the wedding day, Little Flower was the bridesmaid, and Benjamin Quinlan acted as the groomsman.

Since Jane’s family preferred to keep things simple, the wedding wasn’t grand.

But everything Jane wanted was there.

To Jane, it was a memory she’d treasure for a lifetime.

From then on, the two families became one. She had her own home and everything she could wish for.

After the wedding, Jane and Kay returned to the old Forrest Family home to live.

Grayson Forrest handed over the company to Kay and took a step back, enjoying his time while awaiting the arrival of his grandchildren.

Up until she was seven months pregnant, Jane stayed busy learning tea-making, flower arranging,

and eventually began parenting classes.

Even though she wasn’t working, her days were still fulfilling.

On October 10th, at 8:00 AM, Jane was admitted to the delivery room, with Kay accompanying her the entire way.

By 6:00 PM, after hours of excruciating pain, she successfully delivered a little prince.

The moment the baby was born, Kay and Jane couldn’t help but speak simultaneously.

Kay said, "Wow, what a beautiful baby."

Jane said, "Oh heavens, how is he so ugly."

As soon as they finished, the midwives and doctors laughed.

Kay lightly tapped Jane’s forehead, "Look at you—not on the same wavelength with me at all."

Jane muttered weakly, "My energy is completely drained now."

Kay nodded, his hand gently stroking her forehead, "Alright, alright, my dear wife, you’ve worked hard—thank you.

You’re the hero of the family now, so whatever you say goes.

Though, the baby is a bit ugly—looks like a monkey, don’t you think?"

Jane rolled her eyes at him: "You’re not allowed to call my precious baby ugly."

Kay’s heart felt like it took a ten-thousand-point hit: "What? Your precious baby isn’t me?

Am I going to have to compete with my son for your love?"

Kay’s words filled the delivery room with laughter.

The doctor said, "With a husband like Mr. Forrest, Ms. Quinlan is truly blessed."

Jane smiled and, overwhelmed with fatigue, closed her eyes, "So blessed, so blessed."

Kay rubbed her forehead, "Alright, close your eyes for a little rest; I’ll stay right here with you."

"Mhm."

Outside the delivery room, Grayson Forrest burst into cheerful laughter when he saw his grandson.

"The Forrest Family has its heir now."

Kay was anxious: "Dad, can’t you laugh more quietly? Jane needs to rest."

"Fine, fine, I got it. Look at you now, protecting your wife like this—it’s unbelievable."

"What, you think everyone behaves like you?" Kay retorted.

Grayson shot Kay a glare—this kid really did know how to aim for his heart.

After being discharged and going home, Kay hired three platinum-level nannies to help care for Jane.

Jane’s parents stayed for a week, seeing how happy their daughter was, and left with eased hearts.

From then on, Jane began her new life of raising a baby, enjoying herself, and spending money.

Of course, Grayson started his new life too—raising, raising, raising the baby.

Since Mason Forrest was born, Grayson’s eyes hardly strayed from his grandson.

It was as if he couldn’t go a day without holding that adorable little boy.

Kay, on the other hand, wasn’t so lucky—he was constantly overwhelmed with work at the company.

It was only now that he began to understand his father’s feelings about being too busy to spend time at home back in the day.

To free up more time to be with his wife and kids,

he invited three of his junior classmates from abroad to help split tasks. Smaller matters at the company were handled by them, while he only made decisions on major issues.

The overseas branch was entrusted to Nolan Moore.

Though Kay didn’t think much of Nolan personally, he trusted his business capabilities.

Four years passed in the blink of an eye. Friday afternoon, Kay and Jane went to the kindergarten to pick up Mason.

Sitting in the car with the air conditioning on, they waited for Mason to wander out with his little backpack and open the car door himself.

Once Mason got in, he crossed his arms and pouted: "You two are always so unreliable. Next time, let Grandpa pick me up."

"You just love having Grandpa spoil you," Kay scolded.

Mason snorted, "What do you know? I’m helping Grandpa enjoy family bliss."

Jane glanced back at him, "Sunshine, I saw you holding hands with a little girl when you walked out earlier—what’s going on there?"

Mason grinned mischievously: "Mom, that’s my secret. Don’t ask."

Jane was dumbfounded—he already had secrets at such a young age? "I’m your mom. I can’t not ask."

Mason pouted, "Then why don’t you bother my sister? My sister listens to you."

Jane rolled her eyes. The boy’s "sister" wasn’t obedient—she couldn’t talk yet. She was only seven months old, after all.

Mason leaned back and independently fastened his seatbelt: "You two are so naggy. Are we leaving or not? I’ve got studying to do."

Jane and Kay exchanged glances and couldn’t help but smile.

Their smiles were filled with sweetness and happiness, as Kay started the car to head home.

Jane hugged herself and leaned back.

To Jane, the road home symbolized happiness.

She felt her life couldn’t be more perfect. Life like this—how could one ask for more?

At this moment, she had no other wishes, only that life could continue the way Kay imagined: filled with happiness, lasting forever.

And she firmly believed that as long as she stayed by Kay’s side, happiness would surely endure until the very end.
