Predestined Bride

Jessica replied very succinctly, “Well.”

Carl curled his lips and put on a self-smocking smile. What had happened between him and Jessica?

When he asked Jessica something, Jessica only answered him in a businesslike manner.

Carl deeply gulped and suppressed the depression in his heart. However, he couldn’t help but say, “Since you’re so unwilling to stay with me, why did you ask me for dinner before?”

“I’m okay with you.” Jessica looked up and spoke indifferently.

Jessica looked the same cold as she was when they were dating. But Carl was able to tell the difference. The difference was that he didn’t like the way Jessica looked at him now.

Carl looked away from her. “If you’re okay with me, why did you talk to me nonchalantly.”

“I don’t think I’m nonchalant,” Jessica said.

“You…”

“I have something to ask you. I hope to hear the truth.”

Jessica interrupted Carl.

Carl turned around and narrowed his eyes slightly. “You have something to ask me, and that’s why you invite me for dinner?”

Though he looked calm, there was imperceptible fragility hidden in his words.

Jessica paused for a few seconds before nodding, “Yes.”

Carl was extremely irritated. He reached out and wiped his hair before saying, “What is it?”

No matter what the request was, as long as Jessica asked him for it, he would never say “no”.

Jessica stared at him and slowly asked, “Last time, we had dinner with Summer and her family. What exactly happened in the small bookstore outside the Golden Cauldron Club?”

Hearing this, Carl’s eyes lit up. He slowly retracted his hand on the dining table. After landing his hand on his leg, he slowly clenched his hands tightly.

With the cover of the table, Jessica could not see his tightly clenched hands.

Jessica did not urge him to reply but waited.

Carl gazed at Jessica and said with a faint smile, “Didn’t I explain to you that before? Someone snatched your bag, but you fought to get it back and your head was hurt, so you can’t remember what happened that day. Didn’t the doctor also tell you that?”

Carl said a lot, but he didn’t get to the point.

What she wanted to know was not the reason for her amnesia. But she wondered what had happened at that time.

She wanted to know what memory she had lost.

Jessica came here today with a purpose, so she wasn’t so easy to be fooled, “Just answer my question.”

“I think I have given you a direct answer.” Carl changed his posture and checked Jessica out. “You see that I have a new girlfriend, so you deliberately bother me?”

Just as Jessica was about to say something more, she heard Molly’s intentionally shouting-loud voice.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Miss Sophia, you are back. Have you washed your hands? You’re so quick in action.”

Jessica was speechless.

So was Carl.

Carl and Carl looked at each other and then turned their gazes away.

Although they knew that Molly was trying to remind them that Sophia had returned, they had to admit that Molly was stupid.

Sophia rarely had the same idea as Carl and Jessica.

Molly was Carl’s cousin, but why only Molly seemed to be mentally retarded?

However, Sophia was sensitive about her reputation. She had a decent smile on her face, “You’re flattering me. Let’s go in.”
