Jessica buttoned him up. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard Carl muttering,
"You say I'm handsome, then why don't you like me?" He frowned and looked distressed.
He seemed to have become the Carl he used to be when he was drunk. He behaved well, even though
he was extremely unhappy and aggrieved.
Jessica couldn't help but lower her voice when she spoke to him.
"I like you. But can we get along like friends? Just like when we were kids."
Carl opened his eyes wide. He shook his head and replied seriously, "No. I don't want to be Jessica's
friend. I want to be Jessica's man. I want Jessica to be with me. And I want to have a child with
Jessica."
Jessica knew Carl was drunk, but his tone was too serious and his words were straightforward.
She told herself that she had experienced a lot, and this was nothing. However, her accelerated
heartbeat reminded her that she wasn't that calm at all.
When was a man the most attractive? That was when he showed you his sincerity.
For a moment, Jessica wanted to nod in agreement.
Someone opened the door violently.
The door was pushed open from the outside. Kalyan walked in and looked around, "Mr. Carl?"
When he saw Jessica and Carl staying close to each other beside the sofa, he was stunned for a
moment. "Miss Jessica, you are here."
"Are you here to pick him up?" Jessica calmed down. She stood up and looked at Kalyan.
"Earlier, Mr. Carl told me to pick him up when the dinner was almost over." Kalyan scratched his head.
If he knew Carl and Jessica were together, he wouldn't come here.
Other people thought Carl had snatched Jessica's resources for his so-called girlfriend, but Kalyan, as
his special assistant, knew the truth.
Sivan was not Carl's girlfriend, and the relationship between Jessica and Carl was not as simple as it
looked like.
"Then you can take him back. I'll leave now."
"Miss Jessica..." Kalyan wanted to stop Jessica, but Jessica quickly left.
Molly sat in the car, waiting for Jessica.
Previously, Jessica asked her to stay in the car waiting for her. She didn't know what Jessica was going
to do.
Molly looked out of the window. When she saw Jessica coming over, she hurriedly got off the car and
helped Jessica open the door.
"Jessica, I've been waiting for you for a long time. What are you doing?"
Jessica got into the car. She didn't answer her. Instead, she asked, "Molly, let's be frank. What's your
relationship with Carl?"
"What?"
Molly didn't expect Jessica to ask such a question suddenly. She said, "Jessica, how can you ask such
a serious question in such a calm tone? I'm frightened."
Jessica fastened her seat belt and looked at her, "Tell me."
"Well, I'm actually Carl's cousin. And I met you when we were young, but you probably don't
remember..."
Molly knew she couldn’t hide it anymore. Jessica guessed there was some relationship between Carl
and her, and would know her identity sooner or later.
Instead of letting Jessica find out the truth, it was better for her to confess to her.
Jessica chuckled, "No wonder you dared to challenge Carl. But I really don't remember when I saw
you. After all, Carl has so many cousins."
The Jones family had many relatives and Carl had many cousins. Jessica had seen many of them, but
she remembered few.
