Jessica changed the topic, "Summer, aren't you curious about the fire in my neighborhood?"
"How did it happen?" Summer asked.
"It was caused by someone when cooking."
Upon hearing this, Summer became worried, "Jessica, I think you'd better not learn how to cook. You
can hire someone to cook for you, or you can come to my home to have meals."
"Do you think I'm an idiot like Carl? I wouldn't start a fire because of cooking. After all, I'm talented at
cooking." Jessica didn't plan to hide from Summer the fact that Carl caused the fire.
When Summer heard this, she asked with doubt, "What do you mean? Carl started the fire when he
was cooking?"
"He was the one who caused the fire in our neighborhood today," Jessica said directly.
"Jessica, when did Carl move to your neighborhood?" Summer asked after a short silence.
Jessica paused, "I just knew it today."
"Then how about you two?" Summer hesitated.
"I don't have anything to do with him anymore. I've talked to him. The past is past. We can be friends."
Summer listened carefully. She could feel a trace of bitterness in Jessica's voice.
Summer didn't expose her. She just reminded, "Do you think Carl will give up easily?"
"You know what happened these days. I said so many harsh words to him. If he treated me like this, I
would definitely give him up," Jessica replied.
She was a proud person, and self-esteem was more important than anything else.
Summer remained silent for a long time. Then she asked with concern, "Did he get hurt?"
No matter Jessica really believed Carl had gotten over it or she deceived herself into believing it, this
was their choice.
Just as Jessica was about to speak, Leonardo's voice sounded again, "Is he disabled?"
"He's fine."
"Okay," Leonardo replied indifferently, and his tone sounded a little disappointed.
Jessica thought Leonardo was really ruthless.
Having experienced the failure of cooking braised pork, this time, Jessica chose to cook a simple dish,
scrambled eggs with tomatoes for dinner.
After several attempts, she finally made a dish that looked fine.
She took out the best-looking plate to hold it.
The yellowish egg matched well with the red of the tomatoes.
Jessica took out her phone and took a photo.
Then she posted the photo on WeChat Moments and wrote, "Perfect."
This was the first time she cooked a dish, how would she not show it off?
Soon, someone gave her likes and commented.
Then it was time to taste the delicacy.
Jessica put her phone to the side and was ready to have dinner. She put the food into her mouth and
chewed. Immediately, she spat it out.
"Too salty!"
Jessica wanted to get some water. Just as she stood up, she heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me."
Jessica opened the door and saw Carl standing expressionlessly at the door.
"What are you doing?" Jessica was shocked. It was night and Carl was standing in front of her home.
"Did you tell Leonardo about me cooking and burning the kitchen?" Carl looked down unpleasantly.
Jessica rolled her eyes, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Carl’s expression immediately changed, and he laughed, "Then as compensation, I'll stay at your
home."
As he spoke, he squeezed into Jessica's home.
Jessica had no chance to stop him.
