Chapter 1562 Carl Is Not like Himself

"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.

It was not the time, and she was not ready.

If she and Carl were together, the Joneses were fine with it.

However, her parents had opinions on Carl. They said that they did not want a son-in-law like Carl.

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."

"They said they were coming soon, but I told them that I had some work to do. They said they could
visit me at my workplace and ask my address."

"What should we do?" Jessica regretted saying that.

She had already rested for a long time, and there was no work at all. She couldn't make up something
in such a short time.

Carl looked at her quietly.



"Why don't you just say that you are at home?"

"If I said so, wouldn't they know I was hurt? Also, they would know that we were together."

Jessica slowed down and emphasized the last half of her speech. She wanted Carl to know how
serious it was.

"So what? Are you out of my league?" Carl was somewhat irritated, but he held it.

"What do you say?" Jessica tilted his head and asked him, "Think about what you've done all these
years and your exs."

Jessica just wanted to persuade Carl to stand on the same front as her.

However, she realized that she seemed to have said something wrong.

Because Carl looked pissed off.

"It's not what you think!" Jessica looked at Carl and knew what he was thinking.

"Although my parents have liked you since you are young, at that time you aren't their son-in-law. Now
you are, they would probably..."

Jessica spread out her hands. She could not repeat those words.

"Understood." Carl closed his eyes to hide his disappointment.

Jessica told from his tone that he wasn't angry.

She tilted her head to check on Carl.

Carl turned around and walked to the restaurant. "I'm going to get a glass of water."



"By the way," Carl turned around and said, "You could think about how to deal with it first. If you need
any help, just say it. If you don't have a good idea, I can help you."

He was so considerate that it didn't even seem like Carl.

Jessica felt a little regretful.

She shouldn't have said that.

Then Carl came back with a glass of water and also gave a cup to Jessica.

"Have you figured out how to do it?" Carl asked.

"I'll pretend to finish my work early and go home early. Then you put away your stuff. You can go back
to your own home first and come back when they leave."

Her voice became smaller while talking.

She felt that this was too demanding.

She even hoped that Carl would turn her down.
