His Ugly Bride novel Chapter 1401

The conversation with Carl went more smoothly than Jessica had imagined.

After Jessica politely rejected his offer to renew her contract, Carl didn't insist. As they stopped talking, the conversation ended with an awkward silence.

Jessica turned around to leave the meeting room, but stopped at the door.

"Carl, what happened recently is unpleasant, I know you've never really blamed me. I am not really mad at you. In my heart, you are still the nice and kind boy I used to know."

Jessica's voice was low, but somehow it was penetrating. It pierced through Carl's heart, reminding him of the good old days he had spent with Jessica.

Carl's heart was broken.

He was still sitting motionlessly in his chair after Jessica left.

These days, he felt tortured whenever he met Sivan. He always spent a long time imagining the scene when he went to apologize to Jessica after fixing the issue with Sivan.

Jessica was stubborn, and her bark was worse than her bite.

She would definitely forgive Carl, but it wasn't easy.

Obviously, she made that speech just now to tell him that she knew he wasn't deliberately cancelling her work.

He might have some reasons, but she didn't ask why and chose to forgive him.

She no longer cared what the reason was.

She didn't care anymore...

These days, Carl often reflected on himself. If he was as resolute as Leonardo, would he be in such a dilemma?

Both he and Jessica were too confident.

Thus, only when there was a rift between them, did they realize that it was too late. Because it would be useless to make up for it now.
