Predestined Bride

After the shooting ended, Jessica and Summer went to have supper together.

Molly was waiting outside. She went with them.

Not long after Jessica and the others sat down, Carl came.

As soon as Carl entered, Molly clicked her tongue and asked, “Aren’t you going home to take care of your girlfriend?”

“You know nothing.” Carl patted her head.

Molly covered her head and snorted.

Jessica remained silent and studied the menu with Summer.

It was very late, so they just ate a little and no one drank.

When Jessica raised her head, she found that only she and Carl were left in the private room.

Jessica looked around and asked Carl, “Where are they? Did they all go to the bathroom?”

“Molly went to the bathroom, and so did Leonardo and Summer.” In fact, it was Carl who asked them to leave.

“Oh.” Jessica lowered her head and continued to eat.

Carl called her, “Jessica.”

“What?” Jessica’s expression was somewhat cold.

Carl looked at her bright eyes and sighed imperceptibly. “Take care of yourself.”

Jessica stopped eating. “What do you mean?”

Carl added, “Don’t get too close to Christopher. He’s just trying to take advantage of you.”

“Are you done?” Jessica was impatient. “Mind your own business.”

Jessica did not want to eat anymore. She put down her chopsticks and took out her phone to call Molly.

“Jessica?”

“Where are you? Hurry up and come back. We’re going to the airport.”

After Jessica finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

When she talked over the phone, Carl had been staring at her. After she hung up the phone, Carl was still looking at her.

Jessica looked back at Carl.

Carl’s gaze was deep. “Should we get along like this afterward?”

His tone carried an imperceptible sense of disappointment.

“Of course.” Jessica didn’t know what Carl meant. “How do you think we should get along?”

Just then, the door was pushed open and Molly walked in.

Jessica turned around and saw that Summer and Leonardo also come in.

“Did the three of you go to the bathroom together?” Jessica was puzzled.

Molly whispered, “We met on the way…”

Jessica glanced at Molly and then at Summer. “Summer, I have to go. We will get together again when I come back.”

“Alright, take care of yourself.” Summer walked over and hugged Jessica.

Carl watched, his expression calm, but in fact, he was irritated.

Summer hugged Jessica.

He also wanted to hug Jessica.

…

After saying goodbye to Jessica and Molly, the other three planned to go home.

Just as Summer sat in the car and fastened her seat belt, she heard someone open the car door in the back row.

Looking back, she saw Carl.

Carl sat in the back row and said, “I didn’t drive, and I don’t want to go home. I would be alone even if I go back home. Could I sleep in your house tonight?”

Leonardo looked at him coldly. “No.”

“Summer.” Carl ignored Leonardo and turned to look at Summer with a flattering smile.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Summer was not as cold as Leonardo. She smiled at Carl and said, “Of course. If Rosie knows that you stay at our house, she will be happy. She said that she hadn’t seen you for a long time.”

Carl patted Leonardo’s shoulder and said, “Do you hear that? Rosie wants to see me.”
