Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 38

Summer was unconvinced that Jessica used the adjective “handsome” to describe “Douglas”. She said, “It’s useless.”

Jessica shook her head, “I don’t believe that you weren’t fascinated by ‘Douglas’…”

Jessica stretched out her hand and made a gesture. She looked like a hooligan.

Was she fascinated by “Douglas”?

Women would be attracted by beautiful flowers, let alone a handsome man like “Douglas”.

“I haven’t met Leonardo yet. They are the Emersons. If he hadn’t been disfigured, he would be handsome.”

Summer felt sorry for her husband that she had never met.

“You haven’t met him! Are you a fake couple? You’ve been married to him for two to three months.” Jessica drank a glass of water to calm down.

Jessica recalled Douglas’s reaction and said, “I think that Douglas treats you differently. When he looked at me, his gaze was cold and fierce. He was much gentler to you.”

Did “Douglas” treat her gently?

Summer shook her head, “It’s your illusion.”

Just as Jessica was about to argue, her phone rang.

Her agent called her.

After hanging up the phone, she whimpered, “My agent had me go to the company for an emergency meeting again, in the middle of such a precious time to dine with you.”

Summer comforted her, “You have to go. After you shoot the film, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

….

Then Summer went back to the villa.

“Douglas” was in the living room.

He didn’t look well. He wore home clothes. There was a laptop in front of him and a glass of water beside him. He was at work.

Summer admired that he was stubborn and strong.

When he was shot, he asked her to take the bullet out. When he had a fever and fainted, he continued to work after being given an injection.

He felt that someone was looking at him. He looked up at Summer.

“Hi!” His voice was hoarse, but he was aggressive.

Summer glanced at the laptop and asked him from some distance, “Are you working? Are you alright?”

Apart from his pale face, he didn’t look like a patient.

“I’m fine,” he typed and looked at her, “I’m hungry.”

Thinking of his previous call, she said, “You....” She wanted to say that he could ask the bodyguards to cook for him.

“Douglas” knew what she was going to say and interrupted her, “It tastes terrible.”

He said vaguely, but she knew his meanings. He meant that the food the bodyguard cooked tasted terrible.

When Tim walked over with the medicine, he heard what Leonardo said.

Tim sneered.

Leonardo had never said that their food tasted terrible. Ever since he got married, he had become picky.

To tell the truth, apart from her ugly appearance, Tim didn’t know why Leonardo was interested in her.

However, Leonardo liked Summer. As Leonardo’s subordinates, Tim must respect Summer.

It was almost two o’clock in the afternoon.

Noticing that Tim was here, she was surprised. She asked, “Is Leonardo at home?”

“Yes,” “Douglas” answered.

Summer was surprised. She asked, “Did he have a lunch?”

Leonardo was about to drink water. He stopped and looked up at Tim before drinking the water.

“Mr. Leonardo hasn’t eaten yet,” Tim was impressed by his own rapid response.

Summer cheered up and said, “I’ll cook and deliver it to him.”

She went to the kitchen excitedly.

Last time, she wanted to cook for Leonardo, but “Douglas” ate the food.

Leonardo knew her thoughts. He was jealous of “Leonardo”.

Tim handed the medicine to Leonardo.

Leonardo didn’t take the medicine. He turned around and asked seriously, “Do you think she’s stupid? Why doesn’t she please me and want to please a wreck? Did she do that on purpose?”

Leonardo was a cold person. After he married Summer, he always provoked her. Tim questioned Leonardo’s taste.

Tim replied obscurely, “You care about her.”

Leonardo sneered.

Leonardo was smart. He understood what Tim meant.

Tim said seriously, “Mrs. Emerson shouldn’t be stupid. She dealt with Vicky carefully.”

“Carefully.…”

She was his wife. She caused such a big trouble on the Internet. If he didn’t help her cope with the aftermath, how could the Emersons who cared about the reputation let her go?

…

Summer didn’t believe that “Douglas” said that Leonardo liked to eat spicy food, so she prepared the vegetable porridge and vegetable dishes.

No matter what flavor Leonardo liked, it was better to make something light and healthy.

She divided each dish into two parts. She placed one part on the tray and the other part on the dining table.

Tim walked in and said with a smile, “Mrs. Emerson, I will deliver the food to Mr. Leonardo.”

Summer handed the tray to Tim and asked, “Will he go out this afternoon?”

“I’m not sure.” Tim lied every day. He was tired of that.

After Tim left, “Douglas” walked into the restaurant.

He sat down and looked at the vegetarian porridge and vegetarian dishes on the dining table. He frowned and said, “I don’t like the light food.”

She poured a cup of warm water and placed it in front of him forcefully. She said angrily, “You are ill. Do you want to eat spicy hot pot? If you’re dead, is it my fault?”

She felt that she shouldn’t have said that.

She didn’t care!

However, “Douglas” didn’t lose his temper. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

He had a good appetite. He didn’t look like a patient.

Perhaps “Douglas” only cared about life and death. He didn’t care about illnesses.

After he finished eating, the servants would clean up the kitchen. Summer went back to her room.

Turning on the computer, she noticed that the topic of “Vicky’s Sexy Video”, which had been withheld in the morning, had become the trending topic again!

She confirmed that it wasn’t her illusion. She thought that Jessica had spent money on it.
