Seeing Jessica still targeting me, Emily wanted to have a big quarrel with her regardless of the situation.
After all, Emily had been irritated by Jessica's provocative behavior for a long time.
I quickly stopped her and told her to relax.
I thought, "After all, David is a love-brained person. He would think that Jessica is trying to sow discord between us. He will not allow her provocation."
As expected, David immediately said gently, "It was so hard for me to pursue Emma. How could I bear to quarrel with her? On the contrary, since we arrived, you've been gossiping non-stop. Are you a busybody?"
Even though I knew David could be quite sharp-tongued towards others, I never expected him to be so direct to Jessica.
Emily and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Everyone at the table couldn't help but hold back their laughter, either.
Jessica's face turned red. She sat there awkwardly.
I thought Jessica would be quiet after being scolded by David.
But unexpectedly, she still didn't give up and continued to say something mean.
