Predestined Marriage
Chapter 1628: Shouldn't Be Here

Carl thought for a moment and took the phone to Jessica.

When Jessica saw the caller ID, her eyes dilated. She waved her hand at Carl, indicating that Carl should tell her mother that she was fine.

Anyway, he'd better say something to comfort them.

Carl nodded slightly to show that he understood. Then, he took the phone and went away.

"Carl." Arabel was not a hothead. Even at this juncture, she kept calm, "I got the news that Jessica was injured. I called her, but she didn't answer. Do you know what happened?"

"Don't worry. She's fine. She got a superficial wound. I'm at the hospital now. She's on the phone with a friend, so you can't get her."

As Carl spoke, he took a few steps towards Jessica, so that Jessica's voice could be heard by Arabel.

"That's fine." When Arabel heard Jessica's voice, she felt relieved, "Ask her to call me back later."

"Alright."

"Sorry to trouble you. You have done too much for her these years." Arabel sounded like she was touched.

"We're family. There is no need to say that."

Arabel chuckled, "Alright. I'm gonna go."

Carl waited for Arabel to hang up before turning around.

Carl saw Jessica looking at him. He didn't notice Jessica already hang up the phone.

Even if the beauty was sick, she was still charming. Her pale and thin face looked fragile yet pretty.

Carl was enchanted by Jessica's beauty. He heard Jessica talking to him, but he got distracted and did not hear it clearly.

He could only ask, "Excuse me?"

"I said what did my mother say?" Jessica repeated.

"Well," Carl said, "She asked you to call her back."

Hearing what Carl said, Jessica called Arabel.

Carl walked over and found that the apple Jessica nibbled a few times was still lying alone on the cabinet with a napkin underneath. After Jessica finished calling, Carl glanced at the apple and asked Jessica, "Do you still want that?"

Before Jessica could speak, someone pushed open the door.

Jessica and Carl looked at the door and saw Jaron.

It seemed that Jaron didn't expect Carl to be here. A trace of surprise flashed across his face. "Mr. Carl, you are here, too?"

He sounded as if Carl shouldn't be here.

Carl's gaze became sharper when he looked at Jaron.

Jaron paused, but soon he ignored Carl and walked straight to Jessica.

"How are you doing?"

At first glance, these words sounded very simple, without any ambiguity. However, if one listened carefully, one would be able to sense a sense of intimacy. Carl placed his hand on the small table beside him and started tapping unconsciously.

Jessica noticed his small action, which meant that Jaron was losing patience. It was only a matter of time that his patience was exhausted.

Jessica smiled at Jaron, "I'm fine. I can go home in a few days."

Jaron nodded. He looked around and noticed the trash can with the bouquet of roses thrown on it.

Carl threw that flower earlier.

Jaron turned around and met Carl's aggressive gaze.
