Chapter 1610: Carl Junior

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.

And he asked about Jessica directly.

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.

Although Nicole had always felt that Carl always made others worried about him, but those were just
small matters. He could make his own decisions and have his thoughts on major issues.

He had rarely begged her like this.

"She is home. She's been back for a while. When I took Carl Junior for a walk, I met her. She said Carl
Junior was very cute." Nicole smiled when she spoke of Jessica.



Hearing that Jessica was at her own home, Carl was relieved.

"That's good." Carl let out a long sigh of relief and began to chat with Nicole, "Who is this Carl Junior
you were talking about?"

Nicole answered, "Your brother."

"What?" Carl was speechless for a while before he understood her words, "You and Dad had a second
child without telling me?"

Nicole said, "It's a dog. You forgot it!"

He thought for a while and felt that something was wrong, "Which 'Carl'?"

"Of course, it's the same 'Carl' as yours since he's your younger brother." Nicole got very happy when
she mentioned the puppy, "He's a good boy. Everyone said he's cute when they saw him. Tell you
what, I'm going to take him on a blind date..."

"Mom, I've got a bad reception. Goodbye."

"Hello ... Carl, you brat!"

Carl put his hands on his hips and let out a long sigh of relief.

He was glad to hear that Jessica was fine.

...

Jessica had been lying on the bed for two hours.

She didn't spend time on her phone but closed her eyes, trying not to think of anything else. But she
still couldn't sleep.



When she closed her eyes, everything about Carl repeatedly flashed through her mind like a movie.

She didn't want to think about him, but she couldn't control herself.

Then her mind went blank again, and there was nothing left.

A sound rang out.

There was a crisp sound on the window.

At first, Jessica thought that it was just a voice in her head.

But after a while, there were a few more sounds.

She got out of bed and walked to the window. Then she pulled open the curtains and looked down. A
slender man was standing under the street lamps, smiling brightly.

The lights in Jessica's room were off, but Carl could see that her curtains had been opened, and a
smile appeared on his face.

Jessica stood in front of the window and did not move.

Carl waved at her, then put his hands together and placed them behind his ears.

Jessica knew that he was asking her why she hadn't slept yet.
