Predestined Marriage
Chapter 1681: Illusion

After Carl cohabited with her, he moved most of his belongings into her place.

Because of this, the room he used to live in looked empty.

Jessica turned around and returned to her bedroom door.

Traces of Carl were everywhere in her bedroom.

She didn't feel anything before, but now she found out many things belonged to Carl after she looked carefully.

Jessica stood by the door for a while.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that Carl didn't have many things, not even half of hers. Perhaps Carl placed his things scattered, together with hers. In this way, it appeared to be his traces everywhere. Like his headphones on the bed.

His two bottles of perfume, a tablet computer on her dressing table, and her towel...

It was all the things that he used every day.

All of a sudden, Jessica had the illusion that she had lived with Carl for many years.

But this delusion disappeared quickly.

She regained her composure.

She found a carton and began to pack up Carl's things.

She categorized and organized them, and then stored them together.

It appeared to be bits and pieces, but she tidied them up for two to three hours.

After doing that, it darkened completely.

Jessica took a bath, changed the sheets, and lay down on the bed.

Then she began to browse on Moments.

She happened to read Summer's post: Today I went to pick grapes in the mountains. They are sweet.

The illustration was that Leonardo was picking grapes with Rosie in his arms.

The photo was supposed to be candid, so it looked natural.

Besides, the father and daughter both were good-looking. So this photo was more pleasing to the eye.

Jessica commented below, "Little Rosie is a good girl."

After Jessica did that, she continued to browse the Moments.

Then she saw a photo of her childhood friend.

It was a picture of a party.

It was normal to have a party and post some pictures.

But what was somewhat abnormal was that Carl was in the photo.

Next to Carl was Sophia.

Jessica zoomed in on the picture and carefully looked at it several times. She was sure that it was Sophia that sat next to Carl.

In the photo, Carl was talking to Sophia with a faint smile. Sophia raised her head and looked at him with a bashful smile.

Such a simple interaction, yet it looked exceptionally sweet and intimate.

No wonder it was so easy for him to break up with Jessica.

So it was because...

Jessica curled her lips and sneered.

She didn't have the mood to look at her Moments of WeChat anymore. She returned to the address book and prepared to sleep. She found that Summer sent her a message. "Did you have a meal?"

When Jessica was asked, she thought of dinner.

Jessica replied, "I forgot..."

She completely forgot about food.

Summer was sort of speechless.

Summer said, "It's over nine o'clock. Aren't you hungry?"

Jessica replied, "Not really."

She didn't feel hungry; otherwise, she wouldn't have forgotten to eat.

If she was, she would definitely have made her own dinner or ordered takeout.

Summer probably didn't know what to say, so she replied, "Alright."

Then Summer asked, "How about these two days?"
