"I have something to deal with." Leonardo only told her this and then left with Tim.
Jessica and Carl cast a glance at each other scornfully before they turned their heads away. They occupied two sides of the sofa and played with their mobile phone respectively.
They didn't communicate at all. Jessica felt strange for Leonardo's behavior. The more she thought about it, the more doubtful she became. She picked up a pillow and threw it at Carl.
It happened all of a sudden. Carl couldn't dodge the pillow and was hit. He asked with displeased expression, "What are you doing?"
"What's your buddy going to do? He looks so mysterious." Jessica knew Summer was sleeping inside, so she lowered her voice.
Carl shook his head, "I don't know."
Actually, he was a little puzzled too. He didn't know what Leonardo was going to do. Before Leonardo left, he even called him and Jessica over to take care of Summer.
"You really don't know?" Jessica looked at Carl suspiciously.
She knew men liked to do things secretly without anyone knowing. In addition, Carl and Leonardo were good friends, so it was very likely that Carl would lie for Leonardo.
Carl sneered, "Forget it if you don't believe me. " Carl could easily see through Jessica. After all, he had known her for so long.
After saying that, he lowered his head, huddled himself up in the sofa, and looked at his phone, as if Jessica wasn't around.
When two people were too familiar with each other, they could easily sense each other's feelings. Therefore, Jessica could clearly feel the impatience of Carl. He didn't want to talk to her.
Jessica stared absentmindedly at her phone.
When she was eighteen, she should have known that she and Carl were not right for each other. The whole story was destined from the beginning.
Noticing Jessica's strange silence, Carl couldn't help but glance at her.
