His Ugly Bride novel Chapter 1479

Jessica stared at him for a moment. With no response from him, she turned to Jayvion, clinked her glass with his, and said, "Jayvion, a toast to you."

Jessica spilled a little as she raised her head to drink. Carl handed over a napkin and whispered, "Go easy on the drinks."

Jessica tilted her head, her eyes and voice filled with laughter, "Roger, mama hen."

She approached him to say the last two words and quickly turned away to talk to Jayvion.

Jayvion and the others said that Carl protected Jessica like a mama hen protecting its chicks, and even called him "Mama Jones."

Of course, in the end, all of them were badly beaten up by Carl and had to abandon the nickname.

However, if someone asked about the relationship between Jessica and Carl, they would say they were like hen and chicken and Carl was so protective over Jessica that others should better not mess with her unless he or she was courting death.

Jessica had a few words with Jayvion, then quickly got up and went to play games on the other side, so as to avoid any punishment from Carl.

Carl stared at her back with gloomy eyes and could only drink by himself.

What else could he do? He had been spoiling her for years. He asked for it.

He had to bite the bullets.

"Why are you drinking alone? We haven't seen each other for so long. Let's get hammered tonight." Jayvion leaned over, opened two bottles of wine and placed one of them in front of Carl.

Carl picked up the wine bottle and clinked it against Jayvion's. After drinking a mouthful of wine, he asked, "Are you leaving this time?"

"No, I'm done with it." Jayvion sighed and leaned back, "The old man gave me an ultimatum to either come back to inherit the family business or get married. I must make a choice. Otherwise, I'll have to do both."

Carl smiled and said sarcastically, "That's good. Then your life will be complete with a family and a career."

"We're on the same boat. Save your sarcasm." Jayvion sneered.

Carl raised his eyebrow and snorted disdainfully, "We're not. I have a career."

Jayvion was speechless and had to shut up and drink in silence.
