Predestined Bride

Sophia wanted to go to the bathroom as an excuse to leave the private room where the atmosphere was awkward.

But soon she realized that once she left, Molly might leave too. Thus, Carl would be alone with Jessica.

But it was too late.

She didn’t know what happened between Carl and Jessica in the private room, especially when she was not there.

As Sophia was aware of this, she was a little anxious.

Molly felt Sophia’s suspense and deliberately pulled her back, “Hey, Miss Sophia, your earrings are so beautiful. Where did you buy it?”

Sophia was pulled by Molly, so she could only talk to her.

“If you like it, Miss Molly, I would like to give you a pair. However, it will take me two days to buy it. I’m afraid that you could not get earrings today.” Sophia only wanted to go back as soon as possible. Although her tone was gentle, she was a little uneasy.

“I don’t want your gifts. I can afford it. Just tell me where you bought it.” Molly raised her chin slightly, like a bratty young miss. She was a little unreasonable, but people might fail to get angry with her.

“Of course, you can afford it. But I’m older than you. Isn’t it normal for an elder sister to buy a pair of earrings for her younger sister?” Sophia said patiently to Molly.

If Molly wasn’t Carl’s cousin, Sophia wouldn’t have wasted her time here talking nonsense with her.

In fact, she felt that Molly was so annoyed.

“I can afford it. Hurry up and tell me where did you buy it. I’ll buy it later.” As Molly spoke, she opened her phone menu. “There have been too many things lately. I’m afraid I’ll forget it. Tell me, I’ll record it down…”

Sophia glanced at the private room door and unwillingly but patiently told Molly the name of the shop.

Molly did not bother her anymore. She squeezed past Sophia and entered the private room first.

In the private room, Jessica and Carl were still sitting in their previous seats. The atmosphere was a little strange, and no one knew what they had talked about. However, one could tell from the weird atmosphere that their communication was not going smoothly.

“Carl.” Sophia lovingly sat beside Carl and smiled at Jessica. She asked Carl, “What did you and Jessica talk about?”

“Nothing.” Carl looked indifferent.

Seeing this, Sophia did not ask any further.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Molly found that Carl and Jessica rarely speak. She observed them but found nothing.

During the dinner, only Sophia would occasionally say something, like “Carl, taste this.”, “Is it delicious?”, “How about this?”.

Molly felt her goosebumps when she heard those words.

Carl was an adult. Wouldn’t he be able to help himself to the dishes?

“Jessica, try this.” Molly also deliberately raised the volume of her voice and put food on Jessica’s plate.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Jessica looked at Molly, wondering what was wrong with her.

Molly choked and was speechless. She simply turned her head away from Jessica.

Crack!

Carl threw down his chopsticks and said, “I’m full. I have a meeting tonight, so excuse me.”

He didn’t give the others a chance to react. After he finished speaking, he stood up, picked up his phone, and walked out.

“Carl?” Sophia only called out Carl’s name. Before she figured out what was going on, Carl had left.

How could Carl just leave her alone!
