Carl turned the camera back and snorted, "Give up? No way! I told her I let her go, so she would stop
avoiding me. Then, I'll win her heart without being noticed. By the time she finds out, she has fell in
love with me!"
He had never thought of giving up on Jessica. And he had never thought about falling in love with
another woman.
So many years had passed, and he had seen and experienced so many things. There was nothing that
he couldn't pass through or let go of, except Jessica.
Leonardo did not comment it and only asked him, "Aren't you afraid of failure?"
"This is called the roundabout plan. Don't you understand?" Carl looked confident, as if he had
prepared a perfect solution.
Leonardo leaned on his forehead and said slowly, "It could also be a dead end."
"Can you stop cursing me?" Carl looked at Leonardo with a poker face, as if he could appear from his
phone and beat Leonardo if he didn't say something nice.
Leonardo leaned back and looked at Carl lazily, "Okay."
"Where's Summer? Where is she? Go ask her to come over and teach me." Carl looked around and
found out Leonardo was in the study, "Go for her. Hurry up."
He did not forget his plan.
It was just learning to cook. He can learn very quickly.
He would better learn faster than Jessica, thus he could even show off in front of her.
"She's downstairs." Leonardo sat still in his chair.
"Then go find her." Carl was so anxious, "Leonardo, please."
Leonardo chuckled as he took his phone and walked out.
When he reached the stairs, Leonardo saw Summer sitting on the sofa, talking with her phone. It was
obvious that she was answering a video call too.
Leonardo stopped at the stairs and listened for a while. He recognized it was Jessica who was on the
video call with Summer.
Summer was focusing on teaching Jessica how to cook, so she did not see Leonardo.
Leonardo took two steps back and took out his phone, "She is having a video call with Jessica."
"Jessica's pretty fast." Carl laughed.
"I'll hang up." Leonardo was about to end the video call.
"Wait." Carl said hurriedly.
Leonardo asked, "What? Do you want to join them?"
"No, I can just call Summer later. But we could get together for a lively New Year celebration."
Carl always enjoyed gatherings.
Leonardo pondered for a moment and replied, "It's quite lively here now."
Carl wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he felt Leonardo was right. He had his wife and
daughter by his side; of course it was boisterous there.
"You are so merciless!" Carl said, and then he hung up the call.
When Leonardo put away his phone and went downstairs, he found Summer had ended the video call
with Jessica, and was getting up from the sofa.
Seeing Leonardo, she paused and said with a smile, "I was just about to go up and call you down for
dinner."
"Did you just talk to Jessica?" Leonardo asked.
"Yes." Summer was confused, "I don't know what Jessica was thinking, but she suddenly said she
wanted to cook. She hated going into the kitchen the most in the past."
Leonardo said meaningfully, "I see."
