"You sent me a letter to terminate the contract and that's it? Jessica, you are 28 years old. Come on!"
"When will you group up?"
Carl drove home in a hurry last night, but Jessica was not at home.
This morning, he asked his mother to call the Hicks' to check it for him. Only then did he know that
Jessica had returned to the city early in the morning, and then Carl came back as well.
He hid at the entrance for a long time, thinking about how to face Jessica. Then she came out, but he
didn't know what to say, so he followed her all the way here.
It was funny that they used to talk about everything, but now he had to think seriously about it before
talking to her.
Jessica picked up some kind of vegetables and smiled, "Yeah, you're a grown-up man. You're mature."
Carl narrowed his eyes and said faintly, "Jessica, do you think I'm disturbing you?" He sounded
somewhat strange. Jessica couldn't help but look at him. "What are you talking about?"
Carl's expression became serious. "You want to end the contract, because you don't want to see me
again, right?"
Hearing this, Jessica was surprised. She lowered her head and remained silent.
Carl took it as her consent and continued, "Over the years, you've been rejecting me and avoiding me.
You've said a lot of heartless words to me. I have self-esteem. You've made your point, and do you
think I will pester you again?"
He noticed Jessica's eyelids trembled slightly, which was a sign of emotional fluctuations.
"Don't worry, I won't pester you in the future. After all, we've known each other for so many years. Our
families have known each other for a long time, too. Though we can't be together, we can still be
friends. As for business ..."
Carl paused for a moment and continued, "You know Tip Top Media's resources are the best in the
industry."
Seeing that Jessica remained silent, Carl softened his tone, "What do you think?"
Jessica looked at Carl and was slightly distracted. Suddenly, she came back to her senses, and did not
dare to have eye contact with Carl. She glanced at Carl, and then looked away, pretending that she
was choosing the radish.
She tried to make herself sound careless. "I think you're right."
Carl was right without considering personal feelings.
"Do you still want to terminate the contract?" Carl asked her.
Jessica picked up a radish and put it into the cart, "Anyway, after 'Lost City', the contract will expire."
Carl smiled and said, "This is what an adult will do."
What Jessica meant was that she was not going to terminate the contract now.
"Alright, now leave me alone." Jessica pushed Carl away.
Carl followed, "You're rude. I'm so kind. Even if I know your true face, I'm still willing to be friends with
you. Are you touched?"
His casual tone just brought Jessica back to the old days.
It seemed Carl had really let it go.
That was why he could calmly analyze the pros and cons of terminating the contract with her, and that
was why he sounded as carefree as before.
She should be happy, but she felt so empty.
After talking about the contract, Carl pointed to the ingredients in the cart and asked her, "Why did you
buy so many food ingredients?"
Jessica turned her head and smiled indifferently, "To put them on the shelf and admire. After all, they're
environmentally friendly, nutritious and healthy."
