Predestined Marriage
Chapter 1247 It's Not Your Turn

Jessica pursed her lips and asked Carl, "Didn't you say you wanted to have fun around for more days?"

"How could that be? I'm so busy that I don't have time to hang around." Carl brushed the bangs on his forehead, pretending to be very graceful. Jessica curled her lips and closed her eyes again to have a rest.

Seeing that, Carl did not say anything else. Instead, he quietly took out his tablet to watch movies.

With her eyes closed, Jessica gradually fell asleep. After some time, she was suddenly woken up by the intense turbulence.

She opened her eyes and found that she was leaning against Carl's shoulder, and her hands were clasped by him.

"Let me go." Jessica looked at him with no emotion.

At the next moment, the plane went through turbulence again, shaking even more violently than before. Jessica was almost unable to sit still. Her expression changed as she grabbed Carl's hands.

It was pitch black outside, the plane was shaking so badly, and Jessica was somewhat panicked.

"It's fine. Don't be afraid." Carl reached out and hugged her with a calm face.

Jessica immediately calmed down.

She felt at ease because of her trust in him accumulated over those years when they grew up together.

The flight attendant walked over at this moment. The plane shook so fiercely that she couldn't even walk steadily.

"The plane's experiencing a strong turbulence, so it's a little bumpy now. Please fasten your seat belt and it'll be alright soon..."

Carl nodded at her.

About twenty minutes later, the plane stopped bumping and flew smoothly through the dark night.

Jessica also calmed down. She pushed away Carl's hands and pulled the blanket over her body, going on with her sleep.

When the plane arrived at Hoover City, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Putting on her sunglasses and mask, Jessica got off the plane, leaving Carl far behind. Carl walked forward quickly, grabbed her wrist, and said, "I'll drive you back."

He knew Jessica didn't like driving, so she definitely didn't drive here when she came.

"Mr. Carl, do you think I'm not popular and thus want me to rely on a scandal to draw people's attention? If that's the case, you can notify the PR Department and replace a male artist in the company to pretend to be my lover."

Jessica added, "It's best to replace a young hunk with high popularity, the more handsome he is, the better."

Carl's face clouded over as he gritted his teeth in anger, "Jessica! Do you have to piss me off like this?"

He knew it was not good to grab her wrist in public like this, but he was used to it and didn't think too much about it at that moment.

He indeed had an evil idea before, just let the paparazzi take and disseminate the pictures of them together. By that time, he would come up and admit that they were dating, so that Jessica could not deny it anymore.

However, it had become his habit to do what she said and spoil her in those years. That was a habit carved into his bones.

He had made up his mind to go after her for the rest of his life.

Jessica was obviously thinking in a different way. She knew he hated hearing this, but she insisted on saying so to irritate him.

"That's right, so hurry up and replace a gentle and cute girlfriend. Don't waste your time with a woman like me who won't listen to a single word of you and always piss you off."

Jessica pulled her wrist out of his hand, and looked at him up and down, "After all, you're not that young. It'll be more difficult to replace a girlfriend as you're getting older."

Carl snorted and said with a fake smile, "You're saying it as if you're still young. I just like wasting my time badgering you! When you become an old lady and no one wants you anymore, I'll be your only choice!"

Jessica sneered, "Even when I'm old, I'll still be the most beautiful old lady. It's not your turn to be my partner for square dancing!"
