“Axel, I’ve thought it through. Sooner or later, Berthold will definitely sexually assault me. Rather than giving my innocence to him, I’d prefer to give it to you.”
After Carla finished speaking, she unexpectedly leaned on Jared’s shoulder, her nightgown beginning to slip down!
Jared was instantly thrown into a panic.
He hadn’t expected Carla to have such a thought!
“Carla, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let Berthold succeed. Please get dressed quickly.”
Jared turned his head, not daring to look at Carla.
Upon seeing Jared’s expression, tears welled up in Carla’s eyes. She felt utterly aggrieved and said, “I know you find me unattractive since I’m not as beautiful as Juliet. You’ve seen Juliet, so now you probably think even less of me. Previously, when she was naked in front of you, you couldn’t even blink, you were staring so hard. But now, you don’t even spare me a glance…”
Upon hearing this, Jared felt a headache forming. He wondered who could have possibly spread the word that he had seen Juliet naked.
It must have been Judd because Mr. Barclay would never do something like that!
It must have been Judd who informed Carla, aiming to make her give up on Jared. In doing so, Judd would then have a chance!
“Carla, don’t listen to the nonsense others are spouting. I’ve never laid eyes on Juliet’s body. In fact, I even gave her a beating today. In my eyes, all women are the same; there’s no such thing as beautiful or not beautiful. Please don’t misunderstand!”
Jared turned his head away, managing only to help Carla get dressed by feeling his way around.
“What do you mean?” Carla paused, a hint of confusion in her gaze toward Jared. “In your eyes, all women are the same? Do you not distinguish between beauty and lack thereof?”
“Right!” Jared nodded in agreement.
Carla had a sudden realization and abruptly stood up from the bed. “Axel, could it be… Could you be… Sorry for disturbing you!”
Carla didn’t even finish her sentence before she rushed out in a panic.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared realized that Carla had misunderstood him. He was about to speak up and clarify, but then he paused.
Maybe it’s better to let the misunderstanding be. If not, she’ll pester me all day, which is annoying!
