"Does it matter what I think?" Jessica chuckled, "If you cared what I thought, you wouldn't have gone
abroad without me."
Carl's expression changed slightly as he heard her words. "It's been so many years... I didn't expect
that you're still caring about it."
Jessica swallowed, cleared her throat, and said, "Carl, if you hadn't left back then, we would have been
together long ago."
"Sorry, I was..."
"I don't want to hear it anymore. Stop talking. We're fine just like this." Jessica interrupted Carl and
pushed open the door.
She opened the door, only to see Leonardo and Douglas standing at the door. In the middle of them
was Summer, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Rosie stood beside Summer's wheelchair. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at Carl and Jessica
with a confused expression.
Jessica opened her mouth slightly, "You..."
Seeing that Leonardo and Summer had no intention of saying anything. Douglas had no choice but to
explain, "Jessica, we didn't mean to eavesdrop."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at them, but they still remained silent. "We just want to see
what's going on since you guys didn't come. So... Well..." he added.
Just as he took hold of the door handle and turned it, he heard Carl and Jessica talking outside.
Douglas was thinking that he was in no position to eavesdrop their conversations. But their whole
conversation was heard unknowingly. It seemed that their relationship was quite complicated. Douglas
was confused.
Jessica heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "It's fine."
Carl scratched his hair and said, "Let's go. Let's find a room to drink tea."
Carl found another room with a good view. Summer didn't ask too much in front of Douglas as she
knew that Jessica was in a bad mood.
She suggested, "Let's play Fight the Landlord." Then she turned to Douglas and said, "Go get some
cash from your cousin."
Hearing this, Douglas was glad and immediately ran towards Leonardo.
In the corner, Leonardo and Carl were talking about something in a low voice, with serious expressions
on their faces.
Douglas ran over and said, "Summer asked me to get some cash from you. She wants to play Fight the
Landlord."
Hearing this, Leonardo looked towards Summer.
Summer, who was feeding water to Rosie, turned to look at Leonardo when she felt Leonardo's gaze.
Leonardo's eyes flashed with joy. He turned to Douglas and said, "Tell her I'll bring it over later."
Douglas said, giving a shrug, "You guys are pretty bored. Why bother me to send a message for you
guys?"
In the big room, Leonardo and Carl were in the corner, leaving the rest of the space to women and
children.
Although Douglas was almost twenty years old, in Leonardo's eyes, he was still a child.
Leonardo rarely cared about Carl's relationship. "When can I be invited to your wedding?" he asked.
Carl was annoyed at the mention of that. He signed irritably, "I didn't know she's still making a big deal
about me going abroad."
Carl sighed and continued, "She was only eighteen at that time, and I was not much older than her. We
grew up together and I never thought about what would happen between us in the past..."
