Chapter 1709: Why Can't I?
Jessica suddenly remembered that Summer had told her that Leonardo had been considering Tim's
son as a candidate for Rosie's future husband. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Unsurprisingly, it became mere chit-chat.
Nobody ever mentioned it again.
Jessica teased Rosie by asking, "Why should Anderson support you? He will get married and have
children in the future. He'll have his wife and kids to support."
Rosie frowned. Jessica's words were beyond her understanding.
She thought for a while but got increasingly confused. She asked, "But he is my Anderson."
She was too young to understand why Anderson wouldn't support her when he got married.
Jessica also realized that it was nonsense to ask such a question.
"Alright, let's get in. Don't think about the boring question." Jessica held her hands and led her inside.
Rosie took small steps once at a time beside her.
Just as they sat down in the private room and took orders, someone knocked on the door.
Before Jessica answered the door, the people outside directly opened the door and walked in.
"Carl?" Molly was the first to see that it was Carl who came in.
Carl was still in his business suit. It was obvious that he came here directly from work.
"My dear Rosie." Carl walked towards Rosie.
Rosie opened her eyes wide and looked behind Carl.
"What are you looking at?" Carl looked over his shoulder.
"Your girlfriend. Isn't she with you?" Rosie asked.
Carl froze at the question. He observed Jessica's reaction before answering Rosie's question, "Little
genius, how do you know that I have a girlfriend? Besides, I don't have to have my girlfriend around all
the time."
"Alright." Rosie lowered her head and continued to drink her juice.
Carl sat down beside Rosie.
Therefore, Rosie sat in the middle of Carl and Jessica.
She was still too short to make them unable to see each other.
Carl looked at Jessica and said, "I was going to take Rosie to dinner today, but I didn't expect that you
would invite her first."
"If you can take Rosie to dinner, why can't I?" Jessica glanced at him.
"Why can't you?" Carl said carelessly.
Molly watched them talking to each other in such an unfriendly way. She knew they would certainly
start a fight again.
Fortunately, the dinner was served, which stopped them from starting another fight.
With Rosie around, Jessica was not hard on Carl.
They had a dinner in perfect harmony.
After they finished their meal, Tim came to pick up Rosie.
Although Rosie liked Jessica and Carl as well, they had never taken care of a child. Therefore she'd
better sleep at Tim's house.
Besides, she'd prefer to stay with Anderson for the night.
"I'll take Rosie home now," Tim said.
"Alright, goodbye."
After seeing Rosie off, Molly immediately got into the car.
Jessica and Carl stood in front of the car face to face.
"Then..."
Jessica interrupted him, "Are you lying to me?" Carl was left speechless with her question.
"What do you mean?" Carl raised his eyebrows, pretending that he didn't understand her question.
But in fact, Carl immediately knew what Jessica was talking about the moment he heard her question.
