Predestined Bride

“How did that happen?” Sophia somehow wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Jessica was a little annoyed.

She couldn’t even tell the exact reason for this annoyance. Maybe it was because she was at odds with Sophia or because she had seen pictures of Sophia and Carl sitting together intimately.

This confusion upset her even more.

Jessica couldn’t put on a friendly face when she was disturbed. She said, “I fell on purpose. Are you happy now?”

“You…”

Sophia was lost for words. After a while, she said, “Jessica, I’m just trying to be nice. That’s why I want to know what happened. You don’t have to treat me as an enemy. I thought that we were getting over our past conflict. It seems that you think differently and that I was wrong.”

Jessica sneered.

She was telling the truth.

However, sometimes truth couldn’t convince others.

Sophia felt that Jessica was mocking her when she saw her sneer.

She was also mad.

She looked at Jessica and said sarcastically, “No wonder Carl wants to make up with me. Look at yourself. You’re still so bad-tempered in your late 20s. You’re not a teenage girl anymore. No man can stand your temper.”

Sophia’s words were too mean.

Molly couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “What’s wrong with you? If you intend to annoy us, please go away now.”

Jessica was a little tough, but Molly felt that this was the way Jessica should be.

Jessica was special because of her tough character.

…

Jessica might not be an easygoing person, but she was kind and never hurt anyone.

Therefore, Molly was totally fine with Jessica’s character.

Sophia did not mind Molly’s offending words.

She was Molly’s senior after all. She would seem to be sensitive if she was irritated.

She simply ignored Molly and directly confronted Jessica.

“I don’t need anyone to stand my temper. I can live well on my own.” Jessica replied with a cold voice.

Sophia wanted to talk back but stayed quiet.

Since childhood, Jessica had despised everything that she thought highly of.

When she was young, she refused to admit that she was jealous of and also admired Jessica.

Now that she got older and was in her early thirties, she came to realize that she admired Jessica more.

She admired that Jessica was free and that Jessica could easily obtain a lot of things that she needed to strive for.

She had refused to admit it in the past. She felt that admitting it meant losing. And it would become a fact that she was inferior to Jessica if she admitted it.

The elevator door opened.

They entered together.

And no one spoke again.

Molly glared at Sophia unhappily.

Jessica immediately recognized the familiar car as soon as they went out of the building.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

…

It was Carl’s car.

She saw it and took a ride on it many times, so she was very familiar with it.

Carl got out of the car probably because he saw Sophia.

He looked over and saw Sophia first, and then he saw Jessica.

He didn’t move for a second as if he was shocked at Jessica’s being here.

“How long have you been waiting?” Sophia quickly walked up to him.

“Just a minute ago,” said Carl while looking down at her.
