They looked at each other.
Carl stopped taking food from the hotpot and put his hand back.
He denied seriously, "How was that possible?"
Jessica's smile faded a bit. She said slowly and mischievously, "I saw it with my own eyes."
She stared at Carl, waiting to see his reaction.
Carl put down his chopsticks. Did she start to blame him?
Something was wrong...
Carl suddenly thought of something and raised his head to look at Jessica, "Did you come to visit me?"
Jessica smiled and said gently, "No, I'm just kidding."
Carl pursed his lips and blinked.
It was a sign of guilt.
At that time, Jessica wanted to visit Carl abroad, but for various reasons, she couldn't do it.
Although she didn't personally see how Carl’s life was abroad, she knew he must have some women
beside him.
Carl did not get angry at Jessica's joke. Instead, he thought of something else.
When he just went abroad, Jessica called him very often.
At first, Jessica was angry. She called him to vent her anger. Carl remembered that he did not hang up
the phone.
Every time Jessica called, he waited for her to lose her temper. When Jessica finished scolding, she
hanged up the phone in anger.
Carl could no longer remember what he was thinking about at that time.
He vaguely remembered that after two to three months, Jessica said she wanted to go visit him. If he
didn't come back, she would go to him.
And then?
Carl thought of what he had done. He felt depressed and couldn't breathe properly.
After that, when Jessica called him again, he deliberately asked different women to pick up the call.
A few months later, Jessica stopped calling.
In the next six months, Jessica never contacted him.
At that time, Carl realized he was wrong. He was regretful, but he didn't dare to come back. It wasn't
until he met Leonardo and waited for Tip Top Media to take root in Hoover City that he went back.
However, he didn't dare to look for Jessica.
"I did attend classes with girls, but not alone. There were other classmates." Carl wasn't good at
explaining. The more he explained, the more depressed he felt.
These years, he had been pestering Jessica. He avoided talking about the past and thought that he
could pretend that nothing had happened.
Jessica suddenly laughed, "Are you going to apologize to me?"
Jessica was a beautiful girl when she was young, and Carl was also very superficial back then. He took
her wherever he went just because she was beautiful.
Now that she had grown up, and she was still beautiful.
Her smile was so charming that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Jessica looked at him with relief and gentleness in her eyes.
But her relief was like a blunt knife cutting hard into Carl's heart, leaving him long-lasting pain.
Jessica could be relieved, but he could not let go of himself.
He was a coward from the beginning.
He thought he and Jessica were destined to be together.
Now he realized that perhaps he was not worthy of her.
Carl’s Adam apple bobbed. He swallowed and managed to say in a hoarse voice, "Jessica, please
don't do this to me."
'Don't let it go. Don’t forgive me so easily.'
Although Carl didn't make it clear, Jessica got what he meant from his expression.
For some time, Jessica even wanted to take revenge on Carl to see his regretful look.
