I said, smiling, "Given the situation, do you think I could still avoid it?"
She bit her lip. "I feel selfish. After our first meeting, I thought about deleting your contact information. I was afraid of getting deeper involved, not just because of the fear brought by the shadow in my heart."
I was surprised by her thought of deleting me.
I thought, 'Damn, it's a good thing I didn't lose my temper, or I would have ruined everything.'
I held her tightly, and she held me firmly as if trying to merge her body into mine. "Actually, I didn't tell the truth just now. Joseph has been bugging me because he wants to remarry for his grandmother, the current head of the Garcia family!"
"What does his grandmother have to do with this?"
Jessica sighed softly, "Do you know why I married into the Garcia family back then?"
I said, "Wasn't it because Joseph was persistent?"
"That's only part of the reason. Ultimately, it was because of his grandmother."
