Predestined Bride

Carl’s questioning reminded Jessica of all the things in the past. She was completely overwhelmed.

Every time she thought about those bad memories, she felt extremely painful.

When people were in pain, they wanted to have an outlet.

And the best way to do it was to hurt someone around them.

“Did you ever think about my feelings when you went abroad? You left me alone, and it was really painful. I can’t start a new relationship even after years you’ve left!”

As Jessica continued, Carl’s courage and strength were gradually shattered.

Every time this was brought up, they would both feel hurt.

They didn’t get over it.

They were still stuck in it.

Carl was repentant, and Jessica blamed him.

Carl wanted to restart this relationship to make up for it.

Jessica also wanted to get back together, but she still internally resented him.

In a relationship, when you hurt your lover, you only received the same hurt. Unless you had never loved him.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Or it would definitely hurt your feelings.

“So,” Carl smiled self-deprecatingly, “you said you wanted to get back. Is that because you want to give me a taste of my medicine?”

“Yes,” Jessica replied at once as if she couldn’t wait to tell him she only wanted to get back at him.

Carl’s eyes darkened.

Just like a light went out.

Jessica stared at his eyes, feeling somewhat sad.

But she also felt relaxed.

She even felt that they were supposed to end up like this.

They couldn’t be happy together.

If they could, they should have been happy many years ago.

If they could, Carl would have stayed with her.

Everything bad about them was doomed, including this ending.

She recalled their story.

This was the ending they were supposed to have.

They couldn’t be together.

Even if they could, they wouldn’t be happy.

After a while, Carl looked up at her again.

“No, you didn’t mean it.”

“I did!”

Jessica refuted him loudly as if she would be more convincing if she spoke louder.

“No!” Carl also refuted her loudly, his voice hoarse.

Jessica looked at him, hesitating. But soon she calmed down.

“I’m tired. I need some rest. If you don’t want to send me back, I will take a taxi.”

Then she looked out of the window. It seemed she didn’t want to say anything else to Carl.

Carl’s penetrating eyes were on her.

But in the end, he gave up.

It was indeed better to send her back because it was cold in the night and she didn’t recover.

Carl freed his hand and sat back. He started the car and drove home.

The air pressure in the car was very low.

Jessica opened the window, trying to get some fresh air. But Carl closed it.

Jessica turned around and glared at Carl in dissatisfaction. But Carl only looked straight ahead, “It’s cold in the night. The wind will make you sick.”
