Predestined Marriage
Chapter 1325 It Was Hard for Her to Explain

Jessica looked at Carl's back as he walked upstairs. She snorted coldly and turned to Summer, "I have no idea what happened to him."

Summer laughed and changed the topic, "Are you together now?"

Jessica stammered, "Not really...."

Carl lived with her, and they both wanted to visit Summer. When she was going to start the car, Carl jumped in and insisted on going together with her. So she had no choice but to bring him over.

"Not really? What do you mean?" Summer looked at Jessica. It seemed that Jessica was hiding something.

Jessica was kind of unraveled, so she told Summer, "Carl lives with me now."

Summer was surprised, "What?"

To avoid misunderstanding, Jessica hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think. He is now staying at my house while he has burned down his own, and has nowhere to go. Besides, we have made it very clear that we will continue to be friends like before. It's not uncommon for friends to help each other, right?"

"Yes." Summer also drawled meaningfully.

With a guilty look on Jessica's face, she said to Summer, "I'm a little thirsty. I want some water."

"Alright, I'll get it for you."

Summer pulled Jessica to sit down and fetched water for her.

While Jessica was drinking the water, she suddenly heard Summer's voice, "Sivan is Carl's girlfriend. If his house is burnt down, ask him to go back as soon as possible." Summer's voice was very gentle, but it sounded like a veiled warning. Jessica thought she and Carl had decided to get along like before, but Carl had a girlfriend now.

She was Sivan.

That morning, Jessica saw Sivan come out of Carl's room with her own eyes.

Jessica didn't look good, so Summer said to her in a gentler tone, "If others know you and Carl are living together, there will be rumors and gossips about you." Jessica looked down, "I know."

Summer was right. If others knew, it was hard for her to explain.

A popular actress became her boss' mistress!

What a catchy headline!

At that time, people would only laugh at her. No one would hear her explanation, and no one would seek the truth.

During the meal, Carl discovered Jessica was a bit down.

He remembered Jessica was cheerful on the way here. Even when he went upstairs, she was not unhappy.

Clinking their glasses, Jessica drank half of the red wine in her glass. Carl frowned and leaned over to take away her glass, "What's wrong with you?" Jessica didn't say nothing and snatched the glass from him.

Carl could not stop Jessica from drinking, so he just left her like that. However, she did not drink too much. When they finished eating, she was not drunk.

Both Carl and Jessica had been drinking, and they couldn't drive. After the meal, Leonardo asked his driver to send them back.

Before leaving, Jessica was stopped by Summer.

"Is it because of what I said? You are unhappy during the meal." Summer looked at her worriedly.

Jessica tucked her long hair behind her ears and chuckled, "I'm not unhappy. I just feel a little depressed. I'm an adult, but I don't know how to deal with my relationship."‒‒‒‒‒¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶0
