They looked at each other.
Carl stopped taking food from the hotpot and put his hand back.
He denied seriously, "How was that possible?"
Jessica's smile faded a bit. She said slowly and mischievously, "I saw it with my own eyes."
She stared at Carl, waiting to see his reaction.
Carl put down his chopsticks. Did she start to blame him?
Something was wrong...
Carl suddenly thought of something and raised his head to look at Jessica, "Did you come to visit me?"
Jessica smiled and said gently, "No, I'm just kidding."
Carl pursed his lips and blinked.
It was a sign of guilt.
At that time, Jessica wanted to visit Carl abroad, but for various reasons, she couldn't do it.
Although she didn't personally see how Carl's life was abroad, she knew he must have some women beside him.
Carl did not get angry at Jessica's joke. Instead, he thought of something else.
When he just went abroad, Jessica called him very often.
At first, Jessica was angry. She called him to vent her anger. Carl remembered that he did not hang up the phone.
Every time Jessica called, he waited for her to lose her temper. When Jessica finished scolding, she hanged up the phone in anger.
Carl could no longer remember what he was thinking about at that time.
He vaguely remembered that after two to three months, Jessica said she wanted to go visit him. If he didn't come back, she would go to him.
And then?
Carl thought of what he had done. He felt depressed and couldn't breathe properly.
