Many things had happened a long time ago.
However, most people realized it late and some gaps had existed a long time ago.
Perhaps, life itself was a scam. If you wanted to know the truth, you had to pay the price.
The price often required a large amount of enthusiasm and energy.
After that, people would become tired and numb.
Jessica felt that she was like this.
She used the most reckless method to test her position in Carl's heart, but the result did not satisfy her.
However, this result was too true to allow her to avoid it.
In the following years, she had been persuading herself to accept that she was not that important for Carl.
Even Carl, who she thought would love her and care about her the most, did not care about her that much. Could there be someone else who loved her more?
After she questioned herself, no one could give her an answer.
Thus, she arbitrarily denied herself.
Jessica felt that she would probably never meet someone she loved more.
Facing Carl, she felt that there was an obstacle in her heart that she could not overcome.
She originally thought that Carl would probably stop chasing her if she said something ruthless to him. After all, she wasn't as important as she thought, was she?
However, Carl was more stubborn than she had thought.
She felt that she did not seem to understand Carl that well.
After a long silence, Jessica said softly, "I also want to know why we have become like this."
Seeing her like this, Carl did not want to force her.
He walked to Jessica and slowly squatted down. Jessica's gaze landed on his face. He looked at Jessica with a calm expression. He was calm and gentle.
"Since you don't know, let's go find the answer together, okay?" His tone was the same as his expression, calm and gentle.
