Predestined Marriage

Carl stood at the elevator with butterflies in his stomach.

Jessica told Molly that she was home, but he didn't see her there.

Carl forced himself to calm down. Then he thought of something and called his mother.

Nicole answered the phone, "Mr. Carl? I don't expect you to make some time to call me. What's the matter?"

Carl said directly, "Mom, go to the Hicks to see if Jessica has returned home."

Nicole felt that it was strange. Normally, Carl would have to talk back to her. But today, he didn't do that.

His mother knew him well, so she had noticed that something was going on.

"Why are you looking for her? You can ask her by yourself." Nicole said slowly.

"Mom, please. I'll buy you the handbags you want and the speakers for your square dance. I'll buy you everything. Just hurry up and go to her house to see if she's home." If Nicole was here, he would probably kneel and beg her.
