Predestined Bride

Carl’s expression froze slightly, and he was depressed.

Even though he had guessed something from Jessica’s tone, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed when he heard Jessica speak so straightforwardly.

“Why?” Carl softened his tone, “What are you afraid of?”

Jessica said calmly, “I think it’s better not to let our parents know it for the time being.”

Jayvion grew up with Carl and Jessica. They were from the same circle. If Jayvion knew that Carl and Jessica were together, it wouldn’t take long for this matter to reach their parents.

The Hickses and the Joneses knew each other for a long time, and Jessica and Carl were old enough. Their parents would be happy to see them together.

If everyone knew about their relationship, but it ended badly, it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath.

Jessica felt it was best not to make it public when their relationship was still unstable.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Carl looked down and said softly and emotionlessly.

But Jessica knew Carl was unhappy.

“I can go by myself tonight. I’m cooking now. I have to go.”

“Alright.”

Carl hung up and leaned against the back of his chair for a long time without moving an inch. He stared blankly ahead.

He recalled the past.

Nowadays, people matured early.

When he was in junior high school, he received love letters and snacks every day.

Jessica was two years younger than him. Every day, she would run to the door of Carl’s classroom to wait for him after school.

One day, on their way home together, Carl went to buy bubble tea for her. When he took out his wallet from his bag, Jessica glanced at it and saw a stack of colorful envelopes.

“Wow… what are they?”

Although Jessica was young at that time, she could vaguely guess what they were.

“Love letters.” Carl opened his schoolbag and smiled complacently, “This is the evidence of my charm!”

Jessica frowned and stared at him. He patted Jessica’s head and said, “Forget it, you’re too young to understand it.”

Jessica shook off his hand and asked him, “Do you like them?”

“What?” Carl was confused.

“You don’t like them, yet you took their love letters and even bring them home?” Jessica glared at him.

Carl noticed that Jessica had tightly grabbed the straps on his schoolbag.

He understood her temperament too well. If his answer made her unsatisfied, she would grip his schoolbag and beat him up.

Carl said hurriedly, “It’s not true. I just want to bring them home and destroy them. It’s not good to throw them into a trash can at school, right? I have to consider their self-esteem…”

Jessica snorted and walked forward with a cup of bubble tea in her arms.

The next day, everyone in the school knew that Carl had a lover. She was the pretty little girl who was making a speech at the freshman orientation ceremony.

Her name was Jessica.

When Carl’s childhood friends found out about this, they all laughed at Carl for being unscrupulous and he had an eye on such a young girl.

What Carl said at that time was, “Don’t talk nonsense. She feels heartache from seeing me receiving love letters every day, and she could save me from unnecessary troubles.”

His friends’ joke was fine, as Jessica was young back then.

Their junior and senior high school were built together. Many people knew about Carl and Jessica.

In addition, Jessica always came to the senior high school. Everyone knew that her relationship with Carl was not that simple.

At that time, Jessica was passionate. She wished the whole world knew that Carl was hers.

But now, after the two were together again, she didn’t want to make it public.
