Jessica did not say anything.
After a long silence, she said, "Perhaps I'm old. Recently, I've thought of many things that happened when I was young. I start to reflect on myself."
"When we are young, we may make impulsive and hasty decisions. I don't regret the decisions I've made before. You said that Carl was strong enough to be counted on. Me too."
"I've been reflecting on myself lately. I've come to understand many things. I should be responsible for the decision I make. We were too young at that time. I didn't feel that I was wrong. I blamed him and hated him. But now, I gradually understand that I cause all of this."
Summer looked at Jessica, feeling sorry for Jessica's suffering.
"I'm fine. I'm an adult. I can take on my own life. Don't worry about me."
Noticing that Summer was about to cry, Jessica reached out to rub her face and said, "Don't cry. Otherwise, Leonardo will come in later and get even with me for this."
"I'm not crying." Summer raised her head and took a deep breath to calm down herself. Then she looked at Jessica again.
"Jessica, at any time, no matter what happens, I will be with you."
Tears flashed in Jessica's eyes as she pretended to be angry and said, "Are you trying to make me cry? You're so annoying."
Summer smiled and changed the topic. "Did I ever tell you that Leonardo had been planning to betroth Rosie and Tim's son recently?"
"Did anything bad happen to Leonardo?"
"No, he just feels that the boys outside are not reliable." Summer found it funny.
Jessica laughed. "Is he serious?"
"Yes. He talked with me many times, but I strongly oppose it. We are not in a feudal society.
Arranged marriage is ridiculous."
Jessica imagined the scene that with a solemn expression. Leonardo discussed Rosie's marriage with Summer, but Summer rejected him. It made Jessica laughing.
