Chapter 160: She Has Her Own Pride

Jessica didn’t know what to say for a moment. Summer patted her arm and said, "Carl really cares
about you. I don't know what happened between you, but if you also love him, you could give it a try."

On Jessica’s face was a rare sadness. "I know that, but it's over between us."

Summer was a little astonished. Jessica had never been so sad in front of Summer.

When they walked outside, they shivered because of the cold night wind.

Carl came out first. He was standing outside the car and waiting for Jessica.

As soon as he saw Jessica, he opened the car door and said with a smile, "Jessica, it's cold. Get in the
car."

Summer turned to look at Jessica and found that Jessica was getting strange.

Summer was somewhat uneasy. She pulled Jessica's hand and whispered to her, "Jessica."

Jessica stared at Carl and walked towards him.

"Why are you as slow as when you were a child? Hurry up and get in the car. Otherwise, you...," Carl
urged her to get in the car.

Jessica suddenly interrupted him, "Carl! It's enough! I’ll make this clear for you today. It's over between
us. We can’t start over. No matter what you do, the result will be the same!"

Carl froze as if someone pressed the pause button of a phone that was connecting. He maintained the
action of pulling Jessica's hand motionlessly.

His hand was less than three centimeters away from Jessica's.



"Jessica, can you be reasonable? Even if you want to sentence me to death, you have to tell me the
reason. Please tell me why."

At first, Carl was calm, but later he almost shouted, "Don't tell me you like others and don't like me. I've
known you for twenty-four years! You can't lie to me!"

Jessica replied him in three simple words and Carl collapsed.

"I hate you."

Her tone was soft, but Carl, who was tall and strong, was shocked.

They knew each other since they were children. That means they had a thorough understanding of
each other.

Carl was trying desperately to find traces to prove that Jessica was lying.

However, no matter how he searched, he couldn't find any traces.

Before he could ask the reason, Jessica turned around and strode to the road. She took a taxi and left.

Carl took a step forward, but then he stopped slowly.

Summer hated her sprained ankle. It was not convenient for her to chase after Jessica.

"I’ll ask Tim to follow her."

Leonardo’s deep voice sounded behind Summer.

Summer turned around and realized that Leonardo came out and was standing not far behind her.

The person standing beside him was Evan.



Summer accompanied Douglas to the police station. Evan was in charge, so Summer remembered
him.

Summer greeted him, "Evan."

Summer’s impression of Evan was serious and fierce.

However, this time Evan smiled and said, "I remember you. Are you in trouble again?"

Summer couldn’t respond to that.

The reason she went to the police station was because of Douglas. Why did he assume that she was
the one who was in trouble again?

Summer glanced angrily at Leonardo who was standing beside Evan. Leonardo was also looking at her
with a faint smile.

Summer immediately looked away.

Seeing this, Evan whispered to Leonardo, "Your wife is beautiful. Be nice to her. Quit the poker face."

Leonardo had never listened to other people's words, but he replied obediently this time, "OK."

Evan looked at the cold and gloomy Leonardo and sighed slightly. Evan shook his head and said, "Go
back. It's cold at night. Although your mother's case has been closed, I will continue investigating until I
die."

When Evan mentioned Leonardo's mother, Leonardo’s expression slightly changed and then he
became usual.

...



On the way back, Summer sent a message to Jessica. After receiving a response, Summer felt
relieved and looked out of the car window absentmindedly.

Relationships were mysteries. When you were in a relationship, most of the time you would feel
confused and lost, but you were just fooling yourself.

The person who knew the relationship the most was the person who was in the relationship.

When you had doubts and uncertainties about your relationship, don’t struggle. It must be that he didn't
love you or you didn't love him.

A couple who loved each other would never feel confused.

The feeling of suspicion, uneasiness and sadness all came from your doubt that the other person was
not as determined and devoted as you were.

Just like where she was right now.

Because she cared about him, she was eager to know the answer and wonder how much he loved her.

Jessica and Carl grew up together. They had deep feelings for each other, but they still ended up like
this.

Summer did not have such a deep relationship with Leonardo. She was just a woman who looked like
Rachel for Leonardo.

She has always been neglected all this time.

However, she had her own pride.



Summer pressed down on the location of her heart gently and pursed her lips. If she didn't care, she
wouldn't feel sad and she wouldn't be in a sorry state.

Summer turned around and asked him, "Do you know Evan?"

Summer realized that the speed of the car was slow.

Although Leonardo had been concentrating on driving, he always paid attention to her, so the speed of
the car slowed down.

Seeing that Summer take the initiative to speak to him. He was surprised. "Yes."

"OK."

Summer just asked casually. She wasn't that curious how he knew Evan.

It was normal for a man Leonardo to know a criminal police officer, but they seemed to be very close.

Last night, they argued and didn’t end up well. He was surprised that she was willing to take the
initiative to talk to him. After all, she was stubborn.

Last night in her eyes, he clearly saw sadness.

Her expression and tone were the same, but he somewhat felt that she changed.

He couldn’t say exactly what had changed about her.

Summer hadn't eaten yet. It was early when she got home. The bodyguards brought the dishes to the
table. Summer and Leonardo sat down to eat face to face.

Summer knew how to deal with her relationship with Leonardo and had a good appetite. When she saw
the dishes she liked, she put them into the bowl and ate them happily. She seemed to be in a good



mood.

Leonardo furrowed and put down his chopsticks. He asked her, "What happened?"

What happened that made her change so much in such a short period of time.
