Predestined Bride

Carl found Kalyan’s number and was about to dial it when his phone rang. It was from Kalyan.

Kalyan said, “Mr. Carl.”

Carl replied emotionlessly, “Yes.”

“There’s something I think you should know.” Kalyan continued.

Carl sneered, “Say it, I also feel that there is something I should let you know.”

Kalyan kept going on, “Well, the photo of you and Miss Jessica on the company’s Weibo account was provided by Mrs. Jones.”

Carl suddenly got puzzled.

Kalyan sensed Carl’s doubts and patiently explained, “It’s your mother who provided that photo.”

“…” Carl felt wordless.

After calming down briefly, Carl asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about this in advance?”

“Mrs. Jones contacted me before and asked about Miss Jessica. I told her the truth. Mrs. Jones didn’t say anything else at that time. Just after you and Miss Jessica left, Mrs. Jones came with the photo. She asked me to post this photo on Weibo.”

As if feeling that the explanation couldn’t satisfy Carl, Kalyan added, “When I posted, Mrs. Jones was right beside me.”

Kalyan knew Carl too well. He knew that Carl would be so angry that he would deduct the year-end bonus when he saw Weibo, so Kalyan had to try his best to show he was innocent in this photo event.

Carl felt so depressed.

There seemed to be no reason to deduct Kalyan’s year-end bonus.

Carl was even more depressed.

“Mr. Carl, if you don’t have any other instructions, I’ll hang up first.” After Kalyan finished speaking, he waited for another two seconds until Carl hung up.

Instead of hanging up, Carl picked up another call.

It was from Leonardo.

The first thing Leonardo said was, “I saw the photo.”

Carl didn’t take Leonardo’s words at all and even asked in a gentle tone, “Oh, hello, how’s everything going?”

It was impossible for Leonardo to let him fool around like this. So, Leonardo continued the topic of the photos, “Why didn’t you share such precious photos earlier? Summer praised you for being cute when you were a child.”

Carl said, “… Now that you have a family, living a happy life with your wife and daughter, you don’t need brothers anymore?”

Leonardo chuckled. His tone sounded very pleasant, but he pretended to say inadvertently, “I forgot to tell you that Summer will deliver another baby to our family.”

Leonardo’s tone was clearly extremely solemn, but he still insisted on acting carelessly.

Carl originally thought that Leonardo had only read Weibo to mock him but not expected that Leonardo was actually to show off.

Carl would rather that Leonardo was here to mock him now.

Carl felt so jealousy.

“Wow.” Carl smiled and said, “Do you think I would say congratulations?”

Leonardo answered, “Thank you.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Carl felt depressed, but he still said it again, “Congratulations!”

Leonardo smiled, “I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Carl said, “But it depends on…”

Before Carl could finish his words “whether I am free or not”, he was interrupted by Leonardo, “I’ll meet you tomorrow afternoon.”

This time, Leonardo didn’t give Carl a chance to speak and immediately hung up.

Carl stared at his phone for two seconds before turning to look at Jessica, “Have you ever seen such an unreasonable man?”

Jessica mocked at him, “Everything has its vanquisher.”

Carl silently started the car. As if he had thought of something, he said meaningfully, “Summer is pregnant again.”

Jessica did not get the meaning behind his words, “I already knew it.”
