Predestined Marriage

"Your parents are going to see you?" Carl heard what Jessica had just said.

"Yes."

Jessica answered him absently. She held her phone and thought about how to deal with it.

No matter she got hurt or Carl and she lived together, she couldn't let their parents know.

If they knew it now, they would have a lot of questions.

Jessica thought that she was not ready.

She couldn't announce that Carl and she got together.

Carl observed Jessica's expression and guessed what was on her mind, but pretended not to know it and said, "When are your parents coming? I'll go downstairs to pick them up."
