Jessica encouraged, “If you two are deeply in love with each other, you shouldn’t be in thrall to the present. The Elise I know isn’t someone who would be defeated by some minor difficulties!” Elise replied with a sigh, “But his family spurns me. You didn’t see the extreme lengths his mother had gone to. She even dared to stab herself with a knife to force him to break up with me.” That scene is really unthinkable. Even now, I’m still scared, she thought. Jessica
