Predestined Bride

Carl could only stop speaking and obediently walked to the door. Jessica was making the bed for him.

Jessica rarely lived here. There were only two sets of quilts that were washed after she had been here.

She bent down and made the bed with a serious expression, like a good wife and mother.

But Carl felt uncomfortable. He thought that was not Jessica’s style.

That was not her.

What should Jessica look like?

In the eyes of the audience, she was a brilliant actress.

In his eyes, she was an arrogant and willful woman.

However, Jessica had changed a lot and that was the reason why he felt uncomfortable.

While Jessica pulled up the quilt, a pillow dropped on the ground.

Just as she bent down to pick it up, Carl stepped forward and said, “I can do it.”

Jessica glanced at him and continued to do what she was doing.

After Carl picked up the pillow, he came close to helping her. Seeing that Jessica didn’t refuse, he felt relieved.

After they made the bed, Jessica took some disposable towels out and handed one to Carl, “Go wash up and sleep.”

Carl took the towel, unmoving.

Jessica looked at him in confusion, “Is there anything else?”

“What about you?” Carl asked.

“I have to read my script. You can go first.” After that, she intended to leave, then halfway through she stopped and said, “You can get your toothbrush in the bathroom cabinet.”

Jessica went to the living room and sat on the sofa, and began to read the script.

After a while, she was somewhat distracted and involuntarily looked at the bedroom.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Its door was half-open, and Carl was not inside. He should be taking a shower.

The mattress here was not as soft as at home, and she was wondering if Carl could sleep well.

She knew that Carl was just a picky man, not as what he seemed to be.

Soon, Carl came out of the bathroom.

He was just in his towel. Jessica glanced at him and then looked away.

“The washing machine is on the balcony. You can wash your clothes and dry them. Then you can wear them tomorrow morning.” She reminded Carl.

“OK.” Carl went to the balcony.

There was a good view from the balcony. Carl watched the view and put his washed clothes into the dryer. Then he walked to the bedroom.

“I’m going to sleep.” When he passed by the living room, he spoke to Jessica.

“OK,” Jessica replied faintly.

As soon as Carl entered the bedroom, he lay on the bed.

The sheets were washed, but he thought they still had a smell of Jessica.

He didn’t close his door, so he could see Jessica sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Carl changed his position on the bed and stared at Jessica. Gradually, he fell asleep.

Perhaps because Jessica was also in this apartment, Carl slept soundly last night. When he woke up, the sky was very bright.

He opened his eyes and didn’t see Jessica.

He was alone in the bed. He raised his head and found that the door was closed.

He remembered that before he went to slept last night, the door was open. So, it must be Jessica who had closed it when he fell asleep.

Thinking of this, Carl couldn’t help but laugh. She cared about him.

He got out of bed, opened the door and went out, only to find that there were neatly folded blankets on the sofa in the living room.
