Predestined Marriage

Chapter 1552 Too Worried

Jessica opened the door and walked out softly.

She looked at the secondary bedroom door opposite her and tiptoed towards it. She opened the door

like a thief and found no one on the bed.

Where was Carl?

He didn't sleep in the bedroom at midnight but went out?

Jessica came out in confusion. She didn't notice the faint light in the living room until then. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

There was a sensor light in the corridor. When she came out of her bedroom, she went straight to the

guest room and did not look at the living room. So she did not notice the light in the living room.

Did Carl forget to turn off the lights?

Jessica walked out of the aisle and looked towards the living room. She found the floor lamp beside the

sofa was on. Under the dim yellow light, she could vaguely see a person lying on the sofa.

Jessica walked to the sofa.

Carl was covered with a thin blanket, which Jessica usually used when resting on the sofa. The pink

blanket covered his waist. He placed one arm above his head and slightly frowned, looking sleeping

fitfully.

Why was he sleeping on the sofa?

Jessica sat down on the carpet beside the sofa with her fingers interlocked on the sofa under her chin,

causing the sofa to shake slightly.

However, the slight shake waked Carl up.

"Jessica?"

He said in a cracked voice as he just waked up. He narrowed his eyes slightly, half asleep and half

awake. But he subconsciously called Jessica's name.

Seeing that he was awake, Jessica was a little awkward. She just wanted to see him, not wake him up.

Carl pinched his eyebrows. After his mind cleared, he sat up on the sofa.

He frowned even more deeply, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go to bed at this hour of the

night?"

Carl lifted Jessica up from the ground and nervously asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Jessica shook her head, "Why are you sleeping on the sofa?"

Carl said, "I watched TV here and fell asleep. I can't be bothered to go back to my room."

Actually, it was not.

Jessica was a lavish spender. Back when he renovated the house, the money he spent was not much

cheaper than the money he spent on buying it. Therefore, the sound insulation of the house was

particularly good.

He was worried that if anything happened to Jessica in the middle of the night when he was sleeping in

the guest room, he wouldn't be able to hear it. So he just slept on the sofa.

In this way, if anything happened to Jessica, he would be able to know it immediately.

"You're lying." Jessica crossed her arms and said, "You don't like watching TV since you were a child. It

would kill you watching TV for just ten minutes even with Mrs. Jones.”

"All right. That's true." Carl said with a look of regret, "I did it on purpose. I slept on the sofa to win your

sympathy."

Jessica didn't believe his nonsense.

She could guess the reason why Carl slept on the sofa.

But she still felt strange.

Carl had always cared about her, but now he was too worried.

She only got some minor injuries and could take care of herself. But Carl still watched over her in the

living room.

Could it be that he was frightened?

Jessica was a little moved. She looked at him, lay down on the sofa and faced him.

After lying down, she felt the sofa was too narrow. She squeezed in and muttered softly, "Sleep inside a

little. I can't even lie down."

It was difficult for two adults to sleep on the sofa as the sofa was only a meter wide.

So he could only lie on his side to give Jessica some space so that they could sleep together.
