Apparently the call had left her a little unsure how to deal with it.
"Who is it, Jessie?" Violet asked, looking at her.
Jessie's lips twitched, "It's Lorenzo."
"Lorenzo?" Violet raised an eyebrow.
Jessie nodded, "Violet, I'll answer the phone first, I'll talk to you later."
"Okay." Violet nodded her head.
Jessie ran her finger over the green answer button, and then put the phone to her ear, "Hey, Lorenzo."
Hearing the embarrassment and shortness in Jessie's tone, Violet couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
Did something happen between Jessie and Lorenzo?
These two were still getting along naturally with each other, and Jessie was happy to have Lorenzo as a friend.
But now, Jessie was a bit evasive towards Lorenzo, as if she didn't know how to face the feeling.
Could it be because last time at the hotel, she told Jessie that Lorenzo liked Jessie, so Jessie's attitude towards Lorenzo changed?
But even if Jessie knew that Lorenzo liked herself, Jessie's attitude towards Lorenzo wouldn't become so awkward.
So there must be something else between these two that she didn't know about.
"Jessie, I heard from your Mom that you've returned to J City?" On the other end of the phone, Lorenzo's gentle inquiry came.
Jessie nodded, "Yes, I came back this morning."
"Is that so?" Lorenzo fell silent.
He didn't say anything, and Jessie didn't know what to say, and the two of them were silent together.
Violet looked on, embarrassed.
Lorenzo only then reopened his mouth, "Jessie, about what I said yesterday, how do you think?"
Jessie took a deep breath and bit her lower lip, "Lorenzo, I ...... I haven't thought about it yet."
"Is that so?" Lorenzo wasn't surprised by her answer, he even heard the evasion in her tone, he wasn't angry either, but smiled gently, "I know, then I'll give you two more days. I hope you think about it, after all it's something that's good for you, for me, and for the child in your belly, isn't it?"
"I know, but if I really agree you, what kind of person would I become, and I'd be sorry for you." Jessie lowered her eyelids, her voice slightly choked.
