His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian) novel Chapter 978

Carl prayed along the way and soon arrived at the private room. He ran into Jessica, who just rushed over.

Jessica was about to push the door open when she saw Carl.

"Jessica," Carl stopped and called out her name.

Originally, Jessica had not seen Carl. When she heard Carl's voice, she turned to look at him. She looked at Carl and then at the private room.

"What are you doing outside?" Jessica asked.

Jessica was wearing a white dress and light makeup today. She looked refreshing.

Although Jessica was outgoing, she valued her identity as an actress. Her figure and skin were well maintained.

She was born with pretty face and grew up in a wealthy family. And she was getting more beautiful these days.

Sometimes, Carl was confused. He'd been watching this face since childhood. After watching it for so many years, he didn't get tired of it. On the contrary, he found it more and more beautiful.

What was wrong with him? Carl laughed self-deprecatingly.

Jessica saw the change of Carl's facial expression and asked, "Something wrong?"

He seemed weird. As Carl approached, Jessica could smell alcohol on him.

"How much did you drink?" Jessica took a step back and said, "Stay away from me. It smells terrible."

She pinched her nose and stared at Carl.

Carl sometimes felt that Jessica might have cast some spell on him. Otherwise, why would he keep thinking about her all these years? He never stopped missing her when he was abroad in those years, and after he came back, he still couldn't get her out of his head.

Even though Jessica was cold to him, he still couldn't let go. He didn't want to take a second look at any other woman.

"Carl, when you had no courage, you chose to be a coward. And now, you have the courage, so you want to talk. What about me? When did you ever give me a choice? When did you ever put yourself in my shoes?" Jessica's eyes looked desolate, which Carl could not understand.

They were so close. They were so close that Carl often felt that they would be together in the end even though Jessica was cold to him for the time being.

They wouldn't separate. They couldn't be separated. But at this moment, he felt that Jessica was already far beyond his reach.

There was a gap between them, invisible but real.

"Is that what you think of me?" Carl's voice was hoarse.
