Carl threw his chopsticks on the table.
With a crash.
Jessica heard it, but she continued to eat without looking up.
"Jessica." Carl leaned lazily on the sofa with displeasure.
Only then did Jessica look at him, indicating him to speak.
"What's wrong with you?" Carl asked her.
He sensed that Jessica had been abnormal recently because of Jayvion. She suffered a lot, so he had
been coaxing her and accommodating her.
But Jessica didn't change at all.
She did not get better, but worse.
She even ignored him.
If he hadn't come for her, Jessica probably would forget him as her boyfriend.
Thinking of this, Carl felt depressed.
He took a long breath and turned to look out of the window with some irritation.
"I'm fine." Jessica looked at him and said calmly.
With the same tone, the same expression again.
This was not the Jessica he knew.
Carl's eyes darkened and his expression became cold. "There must be something wrong. Don't fool
around me. If you don't tell me today, then we'll not leave."
They looked at each other with confrontation.
Jessica was familiar with the face with a straight outline and the cynical but serious eyes.
After watching Carl for a long time, she still felt tempted.
Jessica felt that she still loved him.
But she made the choice not to love him anymore.
She didn't have to love him.
So she was calm right now.
"Alright." After a while, Jessica said, "Let's break up."
Carl was about to grab the cup, but his hand froze there. He looked at Jessica for five seconds and
said, "What?"
"Break up," Jessica repeated it clearly.
"What's wrong with you?" Carl's expression darkened. He picked up his chopsticks again and said,
"Eat."
'Her brain is unconscious and she must be talking about nonsense.'
He wouldn't listen.
"I'm fine. I'm very rational and clear-headed now." Jessica reminded him, "I said, break..."
Before the word "up" could be spoken, Carl interrupted her roughly, "What the hell breaking up! I said
eat! I'm hungry."
Jessica stopped talking and continued to eat as she knew Carl didn't want to talk about it.
He ate quickly as if he was really hungry.
Jessica did not interrupt him.
Carl was relieved a little as Jessica didn't mention it again.
Jessica did not see that Carl's hand trembled slightly.
They did not speak until they finished eating.
It was a silent and oppressive dinner.
After dinner, Carl walked to the car and opened the door for Jessica, "Let's go."
Carl knew the location of Jessica's apartment. He planned to send Jessica back.
But Jessica knew that Carl would not leave her apartment after they got there.
So she did not get in the car.
"It's not far. I can walk back myself. I know you've been busy lately. We can talk after you're done. It's
fine that you don't want to talk now."
Jessica's expression was as calm as when she mentioned breaking up.
