When Carl lay on the bed, he was so sleepy that his eyes closed immediately. When Jessica tucked
him in, he sniffed the blanket and said slowly, "Jessica's scent."
Jessica paused and stared at his face for a long time before walking out.
She was afraid that Carl would fall if he went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, for he wasn't
familiar with the place, so she turned on the bedside lamp.
After returning to her own bedroom, Jessica sent Abby a WeChat message, "Have you probed into
Jaron's background? I'll post an announcement about us in love on Weibo tomorrow."
Things couldn't go on like this. She had to be through with Carl.
In retrospect, Carl had been nice to her since her childhood. Thus, she had to make a move as soon as
possible.
They were deadlocked. Neither of them would be happy if they continued wasting their time like this.
They should have their own lives.
Abby replied quickly. "Let's meet and chat."
Jessica glanced at the reply and did not answer. Instead, he texted Jaron on WeChat. "See you
tomorrow morning."
After a while, Jaron replied, "Alright."
Jessica didn't sleep well all night.
When it was just dawn, she woke up and could not fall asleep anymore. She got up and dressed up.
Before leaving, she went to the guest room to take a look at Carl.
Carl must have woken up last night, as the light in the bathroom was on.
Carl slept soundly; a corner of the quilt was threw back, leaving his arm exposed.
Jessica tucked him in again. She was reluctant to shift her gaze away from him.
Carl always had a smiling face. Generous, proud and smart as he was, he had been highly esteemed
since his childhood, and outshined his peers.
He got many friends, and many girls liked him. He tried to get a girlfriend. What did it mean?
Jessica always stood in his way to pursue his love.
She was not a good person. Jessica couldn't help but smile as she thought about it.
She bent forward and lightly kissed Carl on the forehead before leaving without hesitation.
Jessica and Jaron had an appointment at a tea house. There were not many customers on a weekday.
Jaron handed the menu to her. "I'm not sure what you like to eat."
"I'm not very picky about food." Jessica only ordered tea and porridge, for she drank a lot last night.
They had their breakfast unhurriedly, then Jessica started to get down to business.
"I said we could try. Have you considered it?" Jessica was calm and serious, and Jaron looked up.
A month ago, Jessica held a talk with him. At that time, she said directly that she wanted to be his
girlfriend and she would give him a month to think about it.
Since then, he and Jessica only maintained a simple cooperative relationship. Previously, it was
rumored that they were in love, but Jessica's company blocked this rumor.
Under her gaze, Jaron said slowly, "My attitude is clear enough. Miss Jessica, are you sure you've
thought it through?"
Actually, there were few pure people in this circle, but Jessica was a rare exception.
She was a first-line actress, but she kept a low profile. Many people were so jealous of her that they
wanted to dig up dirt on her. But so far, they had not found anything.
Some people suspected there was a rich man behind her, but they had no evidence.
Jessica was a beautiful and excellent actress, winning much popularity. She asked Jaron to be his
boyfriend now, how could he turn her down?
But he could feel that Jessica had someone in her heart.
