Predestined Marriage
Chapter 1553 Do I Look Like a Gentleman?

Carl lay on his side on the sofa.

Jessica lay down on the sofa and pulled the pink blanket covering Carl towards herself.

Half of the blanket was under Carl's body, so Jessica failed to pull it.

Seeing this, Carl stood up and covered Jessica with the blanket.

Jessica closed her eyes contentedly and said, "Alright, turn off the lights and sleep."

Only then did Carl figure out what was going on, "What are you doing?"

Jessica said, "The living room is spacious. The bedroom is too small and under-ventilated. I don't like it there. I want to sleep here."

Anyway, Carl couldn't get her back to her bedroom.

Carl took a deep breath and said, "Do I look like a gentleman?"

Jessica closed her eyes and said, "Don't put feathers in your own cap."

"Then you..."

"Don't make any noise. Sleep."

Jessica interrupted him.

Carl hesitated for a moment before lying down sideways and turning off the bedside lamp.

Jessica would not be able to sleep if the light was on.

The sofa was too narrow.

As soon as they lay down, they could feel each other's breath and temperature.

Carl was afraid of touching Jessica, so he was clinging to the back of the sofa.

After a while, he stiffened up.

He simply reached out and pulled Jessica into his arms.

Jessica did not resist and lay in his arms.

Carl's throat constricted and he swallowed hard.

She asked for it.

He wasn't a gentleman.

He wanted more.

He hugged Jessica into his arms and lowered his head to kiss Jessica's lips.

On a quiet night, the air became sweet.

But in the end, Carl stopped in time.

Jessica was still a patient and was still recovering.

Although he was not a gentleman, this was not the best time to do such a thing.

Carl trapped Jessica in his arms and said in a hoarse voice, "Sleep now."

Jessica was hugged too tightly by him and felt uncomfortable, so she wanted to wriggle free.

Carl pressed her into his embrace, and his voice was husky.

"Jessica, don't move." He warned her.

Jessica paused for a moment and quieted down.

Carl thought that she finally quieted down.

Right at this moment, Jessica said at leisure, "You're very mighty."

Carl took a deep breath and said, "Jessica Hicks, you really push my buttons!"

Jessica shrugged her shoulders and remained silent.

Carl had called her full name, so she chose to be silent.

She didn't want to ride the tiger.

Carl heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she quieted down.

The woman he loved was in his arms, and Carl couldn't fall asleep at all.

Carl thought that Jessica was asleep, so he didn't dare to move.

"Aren't you tired?" Jessica's voice suddenly sounded.

Carl calmly lied, "I'm not tired."

"Let's have a chat. I can't fall asleep." Jessica moved her body and lay flat on the sofa.

She was lying on her back, occupying more than half of the sofa.

Carl didn't care and said, "Okay."

Jessica asked him, "Are you scared?"

After a pause, Jessica continued saying, "You've been very nervous these days."

Carl was silent.

Carl did not say anything immediately.

Jessica was curious about what Carl was thinking.

However, in the darkness, Jessica could not see his expression.

After a while, she heard Carl's voice, "Yes."
