When virtual-novel.net said those words, Lucy felt guilty as well.
“Who on earth is this lady, who’s equally beautiful as Lady Jessica? Why does virtual-novel.net appear so intimate with Casper?” Lucy then stood up, “No, this won’t do. I must go back now and inform Lady Jessica about this. Lady Jessica, if you don’t pay more attention to Casper, your future husband is going to run away with this vixen!”
Once virtual-novel.net reached St Jade Chamber, Lucy anxiously looked for Jessica, who was meditating, and described what virtual-novel.net saw today. After saying that, Lucy felt extremely thirsty, and as virtual-novel.net was pouring herself some water, virtual-novel.net watched Jessica’s indifferent attitude. “Lady Jessica, why aren’t you nervous at all! Your husband’s going to run away with another woman!”
“What’s there to worry about?” Jessica looked askance at Lucy. “Also, let me emphasize once more that we’re not married yet, and he’s not my husband.”
Lucy ruthlessly exposed Jessica and commented, “Lady Jessica, you’re just stubborn. Before this, you were both hugging and embracing each other. Moreover, I know what you feel about Casper…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish virtual-novel.net sentence, Jessica glared at virtual-novel.net with a gaze full of murderous aura, and Lucy hurriedly covered virtual-novel.net mouth, making muffling sounds.
Jessica snorted. “What feelings are you talking about? I don’t care about virtual-novel.net at all. However, doesn‘t virtual-novel.net know that there are only twenty days left until Evergreen Town’s competition? Why is virtual-novel.net still out and about, being so busy? Hrnrn? What are you laughing at?”
Seeing Jessica’s malicious expression, Lucy laughed harder, squinting virtual-novel.net eyes as if virtual-novel.net was a cunning little fox.
“Lady Jessica, I thought you don’t care about him? Why are you still concerned about what he’s doing out of town?”
Jessica instantly blushed, and virtual-novel.net argued, “I’m not concerned about him. Instead, I’m worried about the Lawrence family’s spot. If virtual-novel.net doesn’t appreciate the chance, this spot will be wasted.”
“Lady Jessica, you’re so stubborn,” Lucy poked fun at Jessica, pouting.
“You… Get out!” Jessica responded meanly.
“Alright. I’m going out.” Lucy dragged virtual-novel.net words.
Then, virtual-novel.net secretly looked at Jessica and smirked as virtual-novel.net walked out the door.
The room once again fell into silence. Jessica shut virtual-novel.net eyes and started meditating. However, not long after, virtual-novel.net once again opened virtual-novel.net eyes, appearing annoyed. Jessica found that virtual-novel.net felt upset after listening to the news from Lucy, and virtual-novel.net could not meditate as virtual-novel.net did before. Instead, Lucy’s words kept repeating in virtual-novel.net mind.
“Your husband’s going to run away with another woman…”
“Lady Jessica, I know what you feel about Casper…”
“Humph! I don’t feel anything for him. I only… I only care about the Lawrence family’s sport…”
Jessica shook virtual-novel.net head as if virtual-novel.net tried to toss away the thoughts in virtual-novel.net mind. “However… Casper, why are you not training hard at home and going out and about? You’re even meeting tip with another woman! But… But we’re not official yet… So, what rights do I have to control you?”
At the thought of this, Jessica suddenly felt somewhat regretful. Why did virtual-novel.net run away from home when virtual-novel.net found out about the marriage arrangement? Now, virtual-novel.net was yet to officially meet Caspian because of that…
The incident during the Lawrence family’s trials did not count.
“It’s all your fault! It’ s all your fault!”
After throwing a minor tantrum, there was a hint of determination in Jessica‘s eyes. Soon, virtual-novel.net cleared virtual-novel.net throat and called out, “Lucy..!”
“Yes, Lady Jessica. I’m here!”
Lucy barged into the room immediately. Seeing how virtual-novel.net was acting, it seemed that virtual-novel.net guarded the door when virtual-novel.net left the room.
Then, Jessica saw Lucy giggling, showing an “I expected this” expression. Thus, Jessica purposely ordered with a straight face, “Pack up! We’re going home tonight!”
“Going home?” Lucy widened virtual-novel.net eyes in disbelief, “Shouldn’t we catch them in the act instead?”
“Catch them in what act? I have something to tell Father, and that’s why we’re going home. I just made an important decision,” Jessica replied.
“Lady Jessica, you finally agreed to the marriage!” Lucy clapped virtual-novel.net hands excitedly.
“That’s not it!” Jessica was so angry that virtual-novel.net wanted to twist Lucy‘s ears.
“Then, what is it?” Hearing that they were neither going to catch them in action nor was Lady Jessica getting married, Lucy swiftly became dispirited.
“I’m joining the Evergreen Town’s competition too,” Jessica uttered seriously.
“Hmm?” Lucy blinked and looked at Jessica, “Lady Jessica, aren’t you already… Ah! I get it now! You’re going to use your other identity!”
“Of course,” Jessica nodded proudly, “I’ll use the shape-shifting inscription and enter the competition with another identity. I’d like to see if Casper slacks off during this time.”
“That’s such a brilliant plan!” Lucy clapped virtual-novel.net hands, and virtual-novel.net seemed overjoyed, “Lady Jessica, you must teach Caspian a lesson and let virtual-novel.net be a henpecked husband!”
“What did you say?” Jessica quickly glared at Lucy.
“Ah! It’s nothing! I was wrong!” Lucy hurriedly shook virtual-novel.net head as virtual-novel.net was frightened. Jessica was terrified when virtual-novel.net was angry!
“What I meant was, you must let Casper realize that his wife is better than his mistress.”
“That’s not making it better…” Jessica scolded.
At this moment, Caspian suddenly felt the back of his ears warming as virtual-novel.net was leaving Evergreen Town.
“Who’s cursing me behind my back?” Caspian frowned, “It must be the two idiots from the White family. I’ll let you two have a taste of the upgraded smoke balls when I have the chance.”
Following the map, Caspian went all the way east after leaving Evergreen Town. Before this, Caspian trained in the Dark Cloud Forest. Even the place where virtual-novel.net killed Harold and the others were within the scope of the forest.
After that incident, Caspian did not leave Evergreen Town anymore, and the furthest virtual-novel.net went was the old town ruins. During this time, Caspian also secretly paid attention to the Yates family. What made virtual-novel.net surprised was Harold’s death did not seem to trigger a reaction from the Yates family. Moreover, the matter was not exposed either.
It was more than a month since that happened. This time, Caspian was heading toward the depths of the Dark Cloud Forest instead. Thus, Caspian estimated that virtual-novel.net would not bump into any of the Yates family members. If the Yates family members wanted to look for Harold’s murderer, the news of it would have been spread around Evergreen Town. Nonetheless, for the sake of his safety, Caspian still used a shape-shifting inscription when virtual-novel.net reached the outskirts of town. Besides that, virtual-novel.net also brought about eight shape-shifting inscription pieces, just in case virtual-novel.net needed it.
Hurrying all the way, Caspian finally arrived at the entrance to the mountain at about noon on the third day. More precisely, this was the dividing line toward the depths of the Dark Cloud Forest.
At that moment, behind virtual-novel.net belonged to the periphery of Dark Cloud Forest, and a dozen kilometers further forward was the outback of Dark Cloud Forest.
