Predestined Bride

Jessica picked up her phone and found it was Carl.

He should call her earlier or later instead of at the moment after Jayvion’s call.

Jessica was annoyed. She answered the phone with unhappiness. “What’s the matter?”

Carl probably didn’t expect Jessica’s tone to be like this. He was stunned for a moment before he said, “I might have to work overtime at the company tonight. So I can’t have dinner with you. How about you having dinner with Molly?”

Being afraid that Jessica would get angry, Carl said his words gently in a coaxing way.

“You had never been so busy before I wanted to have dinner with you.” Jessica sneered, “Alright. Just do your business.”

Although she didn’t have time to have dinner with Carl, she still felt angry.

She didn’t mind he replied to her late. But he called her late only to tell her he couldn’t have dinner with her for the reason of work.

Since when did Carl love his work?

He didn’t have dinner with her because of his work.

Jessica hung up the phone after she finished her words.

“What’s wrong?” Molly asked carefully.

Jessica looked up at Molly and said, “Carl said that he had to work overtime, so he didn’t have time to have dinner with me.”

Her smile made Molly tremble. Molly unconsciously touched her arm and said, “No way. When did Carl love his work so much? He must be joking.”

Jessica curled her lips without a smile.

Even Molly knew that Carl was not the kind of person who would refuse to have dinner with her because of his work.

He was deceiving her with such a clumsy excuse.

Jessica’s phone shook.

Jayvion sent an address to her.

“Stop!”

Hearing Jessica’s words, the driver stopped the car at the roadside.

“Jessica, what are you doing?” Seeing Jessica was about to get off the car, Molly hurriedly stopped her.

“Carl doesn’t want to have dinner with me. I will have dinner alone.” Jessica pushed Molly away and opened the door to get off.

Molly said, “I’ll be with you.”

“Not necessary. Go back early. You have work to do tomorrow. Leave me alone.”

As soon as Jessica got off the car, a taxi happened to pass by. She stopped it and sat in. Molly couldn’t even chase after her. She only watched her leaving away.

At the moment, Carl called Molly.

“Molly, please go with Jessica and send her home after dinner. I have something to do. I’ll pay you later.” It seemed that Carl was hurriedly walking. He hung up after he finished his words.

Molly opened her mouth. But before she could say a word, the phone was hung up.

Molly leaned back on the chair. She didn’t know what was going on.

“Molly, where are you going?” The driver asked.

“Let’s go back to the studio.” Where else could she go? She could only work overtime.

Jayvion chose an elegant restaurant.

The restaurant’s name was unfamiliar to Jessica. She had never been there before.

With dim lights, the restaurant protected privacy. Jessica found Jayvion according to the table number.

Jayvion leaned against the window and looked out of it distractedly.

Jessica stretched out her finger and lightly knocked on the table, making a dull sound that attracted Jayvion back to his senses.

“Hi.” Jayvion turned around and smiled when he saw Jessica. He was somewhat haggard.
