Jessica was speechless with the phone in her hand.
She didn't know what to say. It seemed that she suddenly lost her voice and couldn't make a sound.
Carl was standing there.
A few minutes ago, he and a woman walked out of the restaurant, chatting and laughing. And he sent
the woman away.
At the moment, he was answering her phone on the roadside.
When she asked him where he was, his smile did not diminish, let alone the guilt he felt from deceiving
her.
Not at all.
She didn't expect Carl to lie to her calmly.
"Why don't you speak?" Carl asked through the phone.
Jessica looked at Carl afar. His expression finally changed. He was puzzled, probably wondering why
she didn't speak.
Speak?
What would she speak?
Jessica was afraid that she would ask him where he was, whom he was with, and why he lied to her...
What answers would she get to her questions?
Years ago, Carl abandoned her and left. She had asked him for the reason and the answer.
Had he given her an answer?
He had never.
She believed that they were no longer the same after all these years of separation and torture on each
other.
She should try to trust him.
However, she finally realized that somebody had never changed, no matter how many years had
passed.
Perhaps, things had already been defined.
She hoped that there would be a different ending between her and Carl.
However, it seemed that there was only one ending between them from the beginning.
"It's fine."
Jessica's voice was so soft that it quickly dissipated into the wind and completely disappeared without
a trace.
Carl probably heard the wind and asked, "Are you still outside?"
"Just continue your work. Don't worry about me." Jessica tried to be as sensible and considerate as
possible.
Carl asked, "What's wrong?"
Jessica had to admit that Carl did understand her. He could quickly detect that there was something
wrong with her.
"It's none of your business." Jessica snorted coldly.
This was what she usually did.
She was bad-tempered to him. There were few times when she was obedient.
Hearing this, Carl was relieved, "I'll be back soon. Don't miss me too much."
"Don't daydream. I won't miss you."
Jessica hung up the phone after finishing her words.
However, she did not leave immediately. She stood there and looked at Carl.
She noticed that Carl's smile disappeared after the call. With a sigh, he put away his phone and got in
his car.
Was the happiness in his voice fake when he called her?
Was he brushing her off?
As soon as Carl got in the car, he drove away.
Carl's car disappeared from her view. But Jessica was still standing in the dark.
Soon, Jayvion came out.
"Jayvion." Jessica walked out from the dark.
Jayvion did not expect Jessica was still there. He was shocked and said, "Jessica, you haven't left yet."
"I can't help you with the money. But I can help you in another way." Jessica said.
Jayvion was stunned, "What do you mean?"
He understood what Jessica meant when he asked. But he was not sure whether they thought in the
same way.
Jessica was both an actress and a social media star.
In this era, money could be made through social media.
