Summer Sweetheart novel (Leonardo and Summer)

Chapter 1266 Not Carl

"So that's why she came here." Nicole's face softened a bit.

Jessica raised her head to look at the other side of the hall, "Mr. Jones is waiting for you. Shall we go

there now?" Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"I wanted you and Carl to take the lead and have the first dance." Nicole sounded regretful.

She and Arabel had agreed on setting Jessica up with Carl, but Nicole didn’t that Sivan would ruin her

plan. Nicole couldn't help but think that maybe Jessica and Carl were not meant to be together.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was lively. Some people were dancing while others were chatting.

It was Carl's mother's birthday today, so the main characters were Carl's parents and their friends.

Jessica sat at the corner, drinking her wine, but she glanced at the entrance of the banquet hall from

time to time.

She wondered why it took Carl so long to help Sivan apply medicine. What on earth stopped him from

coming back?

The longer it took, the more anxious Jessica became. She drank one glass after another without

noticing how much wine she had drunk.

After a long time, she was so drunk that she felt dizzy, so she wanted to use the bathroom. As soon as

she got up, she staggered and fell back.

However, she did not feel the pain in her back as she anticipated. Instead, she found herself in

someone's strong arms.

The next second, she smelled a familiar scent which made her want to rely on the man supporting her.

"How much did you drink?" Carl's voice was low, but he sounded a little displeased.

Jessica was so dizzy that she could not gather any strength. Her voice was soft, even though she

wanted to sound intimidating, "I can drink as much as I want. It's none of your business."

She heard the man's soft laughter and his voice, "Why are you so grumpy when you're drunk? Jessica,

let me tell you. I'm the only one who still likes you when you're grumpy."

Jessica had drunk too much, so she could not respond to his words quickly. After she finally

understood what he said and wanted to speak, Nicole came.

"Why is Jessica so drunk? Carl, take her to her room for a rest...."

Jessica struggled as she did not want to be taken to another room, "Mrs. Jones, I can still drink!"

Arabel also came, and she knocked on Jessica's head and said, "Behave yourself."

Jessica pouted and snorted discontentedly. But she stopped resisting.

"Arabel, Jessica is so drunk. We should let her sleep here tonight...."

"I have no objection."

There was sunshine outside the window when Jessica woke up again.

Jessica stood by the window and pressed her fingers against her temples. What she remembered from

last night was a conversation between Arabel and Nicole.

When she was still a little girl, she came to the Jones' all the time to have fun. Sometimes she didn't

feel like going home when it was already dark, so Nicole prepared a bedroom for her.

Sometimes, she did suspect that she was not really Arabel's child, because Arabel would let her stay at

somebody else's home at night so easily even when she was an adult.

There was a knock on the door.

"Jessica, are you up?" Nicole's voice was very gentle.

Jessica immediately replied, "Yes, I'm up."

As she spoke, she walked to the door and opened it.

"Come downstairs for breakfast." Nicole smiled as she saw her. She pointed to the room opposite to

Jessica's room and said, "I'll go wake Carl up."

That was right. The bedroom Nicole had prepared for Jessica was just opposite to Carl's bedroom.

"Great." Jessica smiled and nodded.

At that moment, the door of Carl's room was suddenly pulled open.

"Carl..." Just as Nicole wanted to talk to her son, she realized the person who just opened the door was

not Carl.

Jessica's expression suddenly changed as she spoke, "Sivan!"

Nicole's expression also changed in an instant.

Every adult knew what it meant when a woman came out of a man's bedroom in the morning.

Sivan only kept her head down, as if she felt ashamed. She greeted Nicole softly, "Mrs. Jones."

Nicole's face was a bit pale, but she would not give a girl a hard time. Nicole was a genteel woman.

She called a servant and said, "Take the young lady to a guest room to change her clothes."
