Predestined Marriage
Chapter 1377 I'm His Mother

The waiter was about to take Carl's order. Hearing Nicole's words, he stopped. He looked at Carl and then at Nicole, not knowing what to do. "Sorry, I want to confirm it. Would this gentleman like a cup of latte or ice cubes?" the barista asked with a professional smile.

Nicole smiled kindly and said, "Ice cubes please. I'm his mother. It's up to me. Thank you."

The barista sensed the murderous intent in her gentle tone.

However, this murderous intent was not directed at her, but at her son, because her eyes were always staring at Carl when she spoke.

Seeing how stern Nicole looked, the barista decided not to offend her.

"Alright." The barista hurriedly turned around and left.

Not long after, a cup of ice cubes was served. However, it was brought over by a different barista.

Carl looked at the ice cubes with his eyes wide open. He turned to the barista in disbelief. The barista replied with a smile, "Sir, here are the ice cubes you ordered."

She spoke seriously and didn't laugh at all. Her professionalism was comparable to that of a waitress at the Golden Cauldron Club.

Carl was angry. "You..."

"Thank you." Nicole forcefully interrupted Carl.

After the barista left, she looked at Carl and said leisurely, "Eat."

The weather in early spring was not cool, but it was not warm either. It was far from the time to have cold drinks, let alone ice cubes.

Carl looked around and lowered his voice. "Mom, don't do this. It's embarrassing."

"You still know it's embarrassing? You make such a big commotion for that woman. Your father and I are embarrassed. You even stopped Jessica's work for her!" Nicole said angrily, "What do you see in that woman? Are you blind?"

Carl sighed, "She is pregnant."

Nicole was stunned for seconds before her expression changed.

Realizing that she was about to go berserk, Carl quickly appeased her. "We're in a public place. Calm down. Take a deep breath."

Nicole sat upright. After taking a few deep breaths, she managed to calm herself down. "Didn't you say that you two ... didn't do it?"

Her son never gave her a moment of peace. Most 30-year-old men had started a family and succeeded in career, so they didn't have to worry about them anymore. Her son, on the other hand didn't start a family or achieve much in career at a age of 30. What was worse, he made trouble all the time and was often appeared in the news.

When Carl saw that Nicole had listened to him, he said, "But the problem is that she is pregnant now!"

Nicole looked at Carl as if looking at a fool. "What does that have to do with you?"

Carl explained, "That morning, Jessica watched Sivan come out of my room. If I say Sivan's baby is not mine, will she believe me?"

"Why won't she believe you?" Nicole watched the two grow up and felt they still had some trust in each other.

Then she frowned in confusion. "Wait, what does this have to do with Jessica? Do you...?"

"That's right," Carl admitted.

Nicole's guess was verified. She asked in disbelief, "You love Jessica?"

Carl leaned back and said in a tired voice, "Yes, I love her. In order to convince her that nothing happened between Sivan and me, I have to take a paternity test to prove that the child isn't mine. The paternity test can only be carried out after at least one month. But Sivan fell a few days ago. I may have to wait for her to get better."00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
