However, Carl said yes without hesitation.
Jessica bit her lips and felt guilty.
"Otherwise..."
"It's okay, I understand." Carl did not give her the chance to finish her sentence. So she didn't say "Forget it",
Then he even smiled at her and reached out to touch her head, "I'll pack my stuff up."
Jessica watched him from behind and sighed.
"Why Carl and I would be like this?"
When she fell in love with Carl, she thought that being together with him was the best thing. She would let everyone in the world know Carl was her boyfriend.
While her dream came true ten years later.
She still loved Carl, but things had changed a lot.
Even now she couldn't just officially announce their relationship.
Carl quickly packed up his belongings.
"I'll take it up first." Carl brought toiletries and some clothes. And the suitcase was full.
Just as Jessica was about to say something, her phone rang.
She glanced at the screen and said to Carl, "My mother."
She picked up the phone and said, "Mom, are you guys here? I've already finished my work to go home."
"Well, no hurry. You can go to work. One of your father's old comrades has returned and invited us to Golden Cauldron Club. We have to go there. So we can't come."
