With the candy still in her mouth, Rosie took a sip and said to Carl, "Then I'm not just an ordinary kid."
Carl choked on Rosie's words, "Alright."
He turned around and met the eyes of Rosie's father. Carl covered his chest with his hands, feeling the pain. He quietly got up from the ground and asked Leonardo, "Do you still want to fight?"
Leonardo glanced at him and said, "It will have a bad impression on the kid if we fight in front of her, don't you know that?"
Carl twitched his lips and snorted, "Hypocrite!"
Unconsciously, he saw Jessica lying on the railing not far away and looking this way. He didn't know how long she had been watching them.
Carl thought about himself lying on the ground while pretending to be dead just now. No matter what he thought, it didn't look so good. Thinking of this, Carl's expression became even uglier, and he even boldly turned around and glared at Leonardo.
Leonardo was walking towards Rosie, but when he sensed Carl's gaze, he turned around and looked at Carl. Seeing Leonardo turn around, Carl immediately ran away.
After running for a while, he raised his head to look towards Jessica, but he did not see her again.
Carl sped up his pace and ran towards Jessica. When he walked in the door, he saw Jessica coming down from upstairs.
Jessica glanced at him and was about to leave, Carl covered his chest with his hand and pretended to be in pain, and peeked at Jessica.
Although he had never acted in a TV or film, nor was he a film school graduate, he had actors at his disposal. Of course he knew how to act, and it was simply too easy to fake pain.
Jessica turned around to look at him when she heard his voice. Carl pretended to be calm and said, "I'm fine."
Jessica snorted coldly, "Did I ask you anything?"
