Predestined Bride

After Carl came out of the room, he saw Jessica on the sofa. She looked glum.

“What did you just say?” Carl looked down at her condescendingly.

Jessica rolled her eyes, turned the other way, and ignored him.

Carl said, “No way.”

Jessica reclined on the sofa and muffled.

“I want to go out.”

“No.”

Carl’s directly refused.

Jessica sat up straight in anger and then stood on the sofa. She put her hands on her waist and shouted, “I can neither use my mobile phone nor go out. Carl, what else can I do?”

Standing on the sofa, she could look down at Carl. Although she wasn’t much taller than him, she still felt that as if she was stronger than him.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Carl exchanged glances with her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and picked her up, “Stop messing around.”

He put Jessica back on the sofa and said, “I’ll watch a film with you.”

He was so annoying, she thought.

He did it again!

Finally, she yielded because of his gentleness.

Carl asked Jessica to pick a film.

She chose one from the disaster genre.

Actually, Carl didn’t really like it. He preferred to watch a romance.

However, he was the one who asked Jessica to choose the film.

So he had to watch it with her.

This disaster film was too boring. There were no plots. And the hair and make-up designers of this film really did a terrible job.

Therefore, Jessica and Carl both fell asleep after watching for a while.

They successfully watched a movie with their eyes closed.

…

In the next two days, Carl was either watching films with Jessica, or helping her to go through the lines.

Otherwise, they played the computer games or did some exercises together.

They repeated these boring things every day.

Jessica didn’t have time for her phone, because Carl had made a really tight schedule for her.

After she received a call from her mother Arabel, she finally got her mobile phone back.

“Jessica, how are you doing?”

“I’m OK.”

Like most children, Jessica only would tell her parents with good news. She had never told them about her injuries in filming. So this time, she also told them nothing. She didn’t want them to worry about her.

“I heard that a lot has happened in the entertainment industry. Your father and I are worried about you. So we want to come to see you.”

Jessica was close to her parents. Arabel never put any restraints on her. Jessica was always busy, so Arabel sometime sent Jessica messages on WeChat to care about her.

Recently, there was a lot of gossip about Sivan although she was dead.

Arabel also knew that Sivan had a grudge with her daughter. How could she not know that something had happened to Sivan? So she just wanted to see Jessica.

When Jessica heard Arabel’s words, she hurriedly refused, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’m busy these days. Another day … I’ll come home to see you when I have the day off.”

“It’s fine. You’re busy, but we’re available. We just want to see you.”

“It’s quite far. It’s not convenient for you to come here…”

“No excuses. OK? Send us your location. We will go to meet you.”

After Arabel finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
