"Little niece? !" Carl's eyes widened. "Oh! Sophie, you have a child?"
At the mention of her daughter, Sophie smiled kindly like a mother and said, "Yes, I have a baby. Do you think your life is a few steps slower than mine?"
Carl blinked her eyes and thought it was amazing. Although they had reached the age of marriage, he still felt amazing every time his friends had baby. In his mind, he still thought that they were too young to raise a child! Besides, wasn't that kind of weak creature very terrifying? They often cried...
Aaron was also surprised. He looked at Jackson. It turned out that he had already known it. After thinking for a while, Aaron put his arm around Irene's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Irene, we have to work hard too."
Irene was still thinking about something, but when she heard what he said, she blushed and glared at him shyly.
However, what was going on now? Irene looked at Helen.
Irene was still angry when she saw Jackson holding Sophie's hand. She always thought that Jackson was reliable, but how could he hold another woman as if nothing had happened!
But then Irene heard that Sophie had a child... She felt a little confused now...
Helen was also confused and didn't know how to react.
They went back to their room together.
Jackson walked to the back of Helen and looked at her back thoughtfully. When Helen entered her room and was about to close the door, Jackson finally stepped forward and opened the door.
With the door in his hand, Jackson lowered his head to look at the stunned Helen and said, "Let's talk."
On the other side, Ada stopped Carl who was walking towards her door. She took a look at Jackson and Helen, who were not far away, and whispered, "Come in. I have something to ask you."
Carl didn't know why, but he went into Ada's room obediently.
"What's wrong? What is it?"
It was the first time for Carl to enter Ada's room. After looking around, he sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed and looked at Ada standing in front of him.
"Let me ask you, what's Jackson's attitude about the relationship between him and Helen?" Ada walked up to Carl and asked.
It turned out to be a matter of Jackson... Carl was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. After thinking for a while, Carl asked, "How could I know what he is thinking?"
"Stop pretending. I know what you three look like?! You will discuss everything at the first time and may be very excited about it!" Ada pouted.
Hearing this, Carl pouted too and thought he couldn't avoid it. After thinking carefully for a while, Carl said, "We shouldn't get involved in this matter. Anyway, it's their business... I really don't know what Jackson's attitude is. Maybe he hasn't made up his mind yet."
Ada looked at Carl's serious face and couldn't help asking, "What do you think of it?"
Ada blinked and looked at his handsome face above her head, confused, 'What's the situation now?
But why is Carl still so handsome from this angle? Is it because beauty was in the eyes of the beholder?'
Thinking of this, Ada blushed.
Carl didn't know that Ada didn't pay attention to what he said. He really didn't have any other thoughts about this posture, but was really anxious to explain something.
"…… Maybe I didn't make it clear to you just now. Although I used to like playing, I'm not a casual man. I admit that I had a lot of women before, but I just played with them and didn't fall in love with them. Naturally, I have never thought of such a responsible way. As you know, I never believe in love. If two people are happy together, they can play together. If they are unhappy, they can break up. No one will badger with each other. This is my attitude towards women all the time."
It was the first time for Ada to hear Carl talk about the relationship between a man and a woman so frankly. She slowly came back to her senses, looked up into Carl's eyes and asked seriously, "Have you ever fallen in love with a woman?"
Carl was stunned. Looking at Ada's black and white eyes, he thought for a while and shook his head.
Even if he had never liked anyone else, he knew that the excitement of seeing a beautiful woman was not love.
"Then why don't you believe in love?" Ada asked patiently, which was also her question for so many years. Carl's parents had a happy marriage, but Carl didn't take it seriously since childhood. He had always been playful.
"Love?" Carl smiled, "Love is like a ghost story. Few people have heard and seen it. It's not that I don't believe in love, but... I think it's an ethereal thing. I've tried to like those women, but their purpose of approaching me is never simple. It's about my family background or appearance. It's not the love you are talking about! In this case, everyone should not be too serious and take what we need. Everyone is relaxed."
