Predestined Marriage

When Jessica was still a little girl, everyone around her just called her by her first name.

Carl was two years older than her and was just old enough to go to the kindergarten. He did not even know her surname, so he just called her "Jessica".

He was used to calling her "Jessica", and had always called her by her first name. He was the only one who never called her by her full name.

But he called her by her full name just now.

Jessica did not turn around. She forced a smile and said coldly, "Let go of my wrist."

Carl didn't listen to her. Instead, he even tightened his grip.

His voice was tense and nervous as he said, "Tell me what you just said was a joke, and I'll forgive you and pretend that I have heard or seen nothing."

Jessica's eyes widened with disbelief. She was biting her lips, and blood oozed out from her lips, but she could not even feel it.

She held back the urge to look back at him and tried to say indifferently, "Don't you think you're cheap?"
