Hearing Carl's affirmative answer, everyone in the room nodded and showed up a meaningful expression.
Jessica silently looked down and tried to move her chair to stay away from Carl.
However, how could Carl allow that? Carl quietly held her hand even harder.
Sitting beside Jessica, Molly noticed that Jessica looked a little weird. Then Molly tilted her head and saw their hands under the table.
Molly widened her eyes and pretended that nothing had happened, looking aside.
Molly sighed.
They were showing off their sweet love.
Molly wanted it, too.
Carl was in a good mood, so the meeting ended very quickly in harmony.
The colleagues who knew good news were also in a good mood.
After the meeting, only Jessica and few people stayed in the room.
Carl asked Jessica, "Are you hungry?"
Molly replied, "Yes."
Carl ignored her.
Jessica looked up, "I had some sandwiches that Molly bought. I'm not hungry for the time being."
Carl nodded and turned to Kalyan, "Get off work earlier."
Kalyan nodded and packed his things to leave.
"Carl, are you off work to have dinner now?"
Molly leaned over.
"Yes." Carl smiled and added, "But not with you."
Molly was speechless.
"The thirty-first year I've known you."
Jessica opened it and stared at the enlarged photo for a long time. She couldn't help chuckling.
Carl was driving and turned to her, "What's so funny?"
Jessica shook his head, "Nothing. Eyes on the road."
Carl glanced at the Weibo. Kalyan had discussed with him and would use Carl's account to send a photo of Carl and Jessica when they were young.
He thought that Jessica smiled for their photo, so he asked, "How is it? I have been good-looking since I was young."
"Yes." Jessica looked at Carl, who looked complacent.
The man, who was in his early thirties, did not become a portly middle-aged man but looked like a teenager.
Jessica paused for a while and said, "You are very handsome especially when you wear your diaper."
"What?" Carl glanced at her in surprise and slowly stopped the car.
