Chapter 1271 A Pretty Face

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?"

Everyone had his pride deep in his heart. That was people's nature.

It was true that Carl had always been nice to her, but that did not mean he could always tolerate her.

A good relationship should depend on good interaction. He should not compromise or give up his
dignity all the time. Even if he could beg her now, what should he do in the future?

Carl shivered. He couldn't believe that Jessica had really said those things to him.



The little girl in her memory did not just have a pretty face. She was also smart. She might be willful
when she was with people close to her, but she knew what she should not do.

Since she was smart and knew her place, she should know the consequences of saying those words.

Carl realized she had really made up her mind to get rid of him now. Carl smiled self-deprecatingly,
squeezed her wrist, and then suddenly let her go.

Jessica did not turn her head, but she could feel his determination from his action.

Jessica didn’t move, so the two of them were still standing close. But she knew their hearts were
already far away from each other.

From now on, there would be a huge gap between them. It would be extremely difficult to close the
gap.

"You can go now." Carl's voice was icy cold, as if he was just pulled out of the sea.

Without hesitation, Jessica walked out of the room. She walked faster and faster, and just wanted to
escape from this suffocating place.

Carl lowered his head, his eyes lifeless.

She didn't even want to stay with him for another second.

After Jessica left the private room, she immediately went downstairs by elevator without stopping
anywhere.

As she walked out of the door, she felt the cold breeze around her body. She could feel the coldness in
her body and even her bones. She wanted to warm herself up, so she put her arms around her
shoulders.



However, the coldness could get inside her body from everywhere, and she was chilled to the bones.

"Jessica!"

Jessica suddenly heard Summer's voice. Jessica raised her head and saw Summer running towards
her from across the road.

Behind Summer was a black car, with opened door. Leonardo was standing there quietly, leaning
against the car. He was just waiting for Summer there, and he did not intend to interfere.

It was just a small thing, but Leonardo did it because he was trying to be considerate and gentle.

Carl could also be considerate and gentle. However, he would only be considerate and gentle when he
was with someone else from now on. Whatever he would do would have nothing to do with Jessica.

Jessica had been tense since the moment she saw Carl, and she suddenly broke down, and burst into
tears. She could not hold back her tears at all.

Summer was shocked, "Jessica, don't cry."

"I'm not crying. It's just because the wind is too strong." Just as Jessica spoke, a strong wind
interrupted her.
