Before Jessica fell asleep, she posted in her WeChat Moment, "Happy New Year."
Carl walked back after talking with Leonardo. He clicked his Moment and saw Jessica's post
immediately.
He chuckled and gave her a like.
She looked carefree and happy.
On the New Year day.
Many relatives of the Hicks family were coming to visit them.
The most common thing in the world about relatives was that they always cared a lot about your
marriage. Even if Jessica was a famous actress, she still couldn't escape it.
Before they came, Jessica drove back to her own house in the city with some excuse.
After opening the door, she just found a cold room.
Jessica closed the door, changed her shoes and went to the kitchen.
She didn't cook, and inside the fridge were only drinks and all sorts of skin-care products and
perfumes.
If she had to live alone in the future, it didn't seem alright as she didn't know how to cook.
In any case, there was days before the shooting of "Lost City". She was free during this period of time,
so she might learn how to cook.
Walking to the door, she picked up the car keys and put them down. She chose to walk as she was not
in a hurry anyway.
Jessica changed her clothes and went out with a mask. She walked for a while and felt someone was
following her.
But when she looked back, she didn't see anyone behind her, not even a car. Jessica felt uneasy.
There was no one at the entrance of the community, so she quickened her pace.
Luckily, it was only a ten-minute walk from her home to the supermarket, and soon she arrived at a
crowded place.
However, she still had the feeling of someone following behind her.
Before Jessica arrived at the supermarket, she turned into a corner.
She stood against the wall and was ready to call the police.
Not long after, a black car stopped at the intersection, as the driver seemed to be confused about
where to go.
Jessica stared at the car. It looked familiar, and the license plate number looked even more familiar.
Jessica raised her eyebrows and walked over.
The person in the car knew he had been discovered when he saw Jessica coming over. Before Jessica
approached, he opened the car door and got out. Then he folded his arms, waiting for her.
"Well, Mr. Carl, what's wrong with you on the first day of the New Year?" Jessica did not expect Carl
would follow her.
Carl wore a long coat, looking tall and handsome.
He looked at Jessica with a faint smile. "It's really not easy to meet you. I don't want to do this. I'm not a
freak, but I have to follow you to see you."
Jessica didn't know what to say. She knew it was impropriate to send Carl the cancellation contract via
courier. That was why she had been deliberately avoiding Carl these days.
"You can't deny it, can you?" Carl snorted coldly, but he didn't sound angry at all.
"I'm going to buy some ingredients for cooking now. Let's talk about it later." Although Jessica felt guilty,
she didn’t show it, and sounded natural.
How familiar was Carl with Jessica?
With a single glance, he knew what she was thinking.
Carl said, "You cook? Hey, make up a decent excuse, OK?"
"I'm telling you the truth!" Jessica just wanted to end this conversation. She turned around and walked
into the supermarket.
Carl followed her into the supermarket.
When she was picking the vegetables, Carl walked beside her and began to talk about the contract.
