Jessica did not say anything.
After a long silence, she said, "Perhaps I'm old. Recently, I've thought of many things that happened
when I was young. I start to reflect on myself."
"When we are young, we may make impulsive and hasty decisions. I don't regret the decisions I’ve
made before. You said that Carl was strong enough to be counted on. Me too."
"I've been reflecting on myself lately. I've come to understand many things. I should be responsible for
the decision I make. We were too young at that time. I didn't feel that I was wrong. I blamed him and
hated him. But now, I gradually understand that I cause all of this."
Summer looked at Jessica, feeling sorry for Jessica’s suffering.
"I'm fine. I'm an adult. I can take on my own life. Don't worry about me."
Noticing that Summer was about to cry, Jessica reached out to rub her face and said, "Don't cry.
Otherwise, Leonardo will come in later and get even with me for this."
"I'm not crying." Summer raised her head and took a deep breath to calm down herself. Then she
looked at Jessica again.
"Jessica, at any time, no matter what happens, I will be with you."
Tears flashed in Jessica's eyes as she pretended to be angry and said, "Are you trying to make me
cry? You're so annoying."
Summer smiled and changed the topic. "Did I ever tell you that Leonardo had been planning to betroth
Rosie and Tim's son recently?"
"Did anything bad happen to Leonardo?"
"No, he just feels that the boys outside are not reliable." Summer found it funny.
Jessica laughed. "Is he serious?"
"Yes. He talked with me many times, but I strongly oppose it. We are not in a feudal society. Arranged
marriage is ridiculous."
Jessica imagined the scene that with a solemn expression. Leonardo discussed Rosie's marriage with
Summer, but Summer rejected him. It made Jessica laughing.
Summer looked at her smile and relaxed a little.
Everyone drank wine during dinner. Jessica drove here by herself, so she had to call for a designated
driver to take her home.
Golden Cauldron Club offered such a service. When she came out, Carl had arranged a designated
driver for her. Jessica did not say anything to him.
After saying goodbye to Summer, she got into the car.
Just as she was seated in the car, someone pulled open the door and got in.
"What do you want?" Without looking back, Jessica knew it was Carl, as they knew each other well.
She could recognize his usual perfume and his distinctive aura.
She was familiar with them.
"My assistant sent me here, and he drove my car away." Carl drank quite a lot. Jessica could smell
strong alcohol on his body, but it did not smell bad.
Jessica raised her eyebrows and looked at him. "It's out of my way."
Her house was not in the same direction as Carl's.
"Give me a ride, or I'll stay at your home tonight." Carl was just trying to make things difficult for
Jessica.
Jessica rolled her eyes at him angrily. "You're thirty years old. Do you think you're a child? You are..."
Before she could finish speaking, she discovered that Carl closed his eyes with his head tilted.
Did he fall asleep?
"Carl?" Jessica pushed him. However, he didn't react and fell on her.
Jessica was afraid that he would fall off, so she did not dodge.
In this way, Carl leaned firmly against her.
