Jessica was speechless with the phone in her hand.
She didn't know what to say. It seemed that she suddenly lost her voice and couldn't make a sound.
Carl was standing there.
A few minutes ago, he and a woman walked out of the restaurant, chatting and laughing. And he sent the woman away.
At the moment, he was answering her phone on the roadside.
When she asked him where he was, his smile did not diminish, let alone the guilt he felt from deceiving her.
Not at all.
She didn't expect Carl to lie to her calmly.
"Why don't you speak?" Carl asked through the phone.
Jessica looked at Carl afar. His expression finally changed. He was puzzled, probably wondering why she didn't speak.
Speak?
What would she speak?
Jessica was afraid that she would ask him where he was, whom he was with, and why he lied to her...
What answers would she get to her questions?
Years ago, Carl abandoned her and left. She had asked him for the reason and the answer.
Had he given her an answer?
He had never.
She believed that they were no longer the same after all these years of separation and torture on each other.
She should try to trust him.
However, she finally realized that somebody had never changed, no matter how many years had passed.
Perhaps, things had already been defined.
She hoped that there would be a different ending between her and Carl.
However, it seemed that there was only one ending between them from the beginning.
"It's fine."
