Just as Summer was about to browse the news, Leonardo pulled the phone from her hand. "Don't spend too much time on your phone."
Seeing her phone put away by Leonardo, Summer asked him curiously, "Did you do it?"
Leonardo said, "Have a guess."
Summer went speechless.
Summer glared at Leonardo. Ignoring him, she turned to talk to Jessica.
Leonardo and Carl went into the study.
Summer finally had the chance to ask Jessica, "Have you and Carl been like this recently?
Quarreling whenever you meet?"
"I don't want to quarrel with him. He's the one who provokes me every once in a while." Speaking of Carl, Jessica looked angry.
Summer pondered for a moment, and then she asked Jessica gently, "Jessica, what is the matter between you two?"
If it was in the past, Summer would not say this to Jessica. She used to regard this as a private matter between Jessica and Carl.
Jessica and Carl had known each other since childhood. Growing up together, they had extremely deep affection, whether they loved each other or not.
However, after everything she had been through, Summer felt that life was too short and fragile. People shouldn't waste any time when they could be together.
Only after experiencing it would one know how precious it was to be together.
"Really, can everything be made clear?" Jessica shook her head, "The more time we spend together, the more difficult for me to say it.
"Or can you just talk to me?" Holding Jessica's hand, Summer had a gentle yet determined expression.
Jessica bit her lips and lowered her head, "That was before I met you..."
Summer could feel Jessica's nervousness and uneasiness. Although Jessica was speaking, there was a trace of resistance in her expression.
Summer held Jessica's hand. "Jessica, if you're not ready, then don't say it."
