Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 44

When Summer saw that “Douglas” was serious and did not seem to be lying at all, she became nervous.

She really didn’t remember last night. She had been drugged, so it was possible that she had done something with him....

Summer’s mind went blank for a moment and she suddenly thought of Leonardo.

She couldn’t stay in Douglas’s room anymore. If Leonardo knew it...

With a pale face, she lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed, but Leonardo pushed her back down.

“You are exhausted from last night. You should have a good rest. Just ask for it if you want to eat anything.” Leonardo’s hand on her shoulder looked weak, but she couldn’t move.

When Summer thought about what she and “Douglas” might have done last night, shame engulfed her. She was so angry that she trembled, “You’re shameless!”

“Shameless? Then… What about this?” As he spoke, he pushed her back onto the bed with a slight force from the hand on her shoulder. His tall body covered her and he lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Summer was caught off guard when she was kissed, dumbfounded. This also gave Leonardo the chance to contain her.

He held her wrists and kissed her forcefully and tyrannically.

Summer’s only kissing experience came from this man, but he hadn’t kissed her this hard. The man’s cold aura loomed around her, leaving her with no escape.

After the kiss, Leonardo gently pecked her lips before standing up.

Summer lay on her back on the bed. Her beautiful eyes were misty. Her face was crimson as she panted, looking vulnerable.

Leonardo’s breath, which had slowed down, became a little heavier. He looked at her with passionate eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “I know something even more shameless. Do you want to try it?”

Hearing that, Summer regained her senses. Her eyes clear again, she looked up and saw him leaning against her head. She held back her breath and slapped him fiercely.

However, Leonardo quickly intercepted her palm.

He smiled as he placed her hand on his lips, kissing it, “I like how agile you are.”

Summer didn’t say anything.

This man was utterly shameless!

She could not retract her hand, completely contained by him. So, she could only suppress her anger and say, “I am your cousin-in-law!”

Leonardo didn’t seem to recognize the anger in her tone and smiled harder, “Cousin has gone abroad. He won’t be back in less than a dozen days. No one will come to the villa to disturb us. Isn’t it exciting?”

Exciting? My ass!

She didn’t have a predilection for fornicating with her cousin-in-law.

Noticing that she was getting unhappier, Leonardo stopped teasing her. He stood up, quit smiling and asked her seriously, “What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone cook for you.”

Summer said coldly, “I don’t want to eat anything.”

She only hoped that he could leave quickly!

Leonardo ignored her indifference and said to himself, “Then porridge and some dishes.”

As soon as he went out, Summer jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom.

She wanted to make sure that she and Douglas had really done that kind of thing.

Back pain would normally follow, but she wasn’t feeling any.

On the other hand, although “Douglas” seemed bad, she inexplicably believed that he would not take advantage of people.

She locked the bathroom door and checked her body. She found no traces of sex. She jumped a few times and did not feel any discomfort.

She had known that Douglas had been lying to her.

How childish! Was it funny for a grown man to lie to her like this?

Summer heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the washstand to wash her face. However, when she saw herself in the mirror, she was surprised.

The ugly makeup on her face had been removed...

Perhaps because too many things had happened last night, she looked a little haggard, but she was young, so she didn’t become ugly because of it. On the contrary, she would evoke pity looking this way.

So, she became nervous again.

…

Half an hour later, Leonardo went upstairs to invite Summer for dinner.

He went into the room and found the bed empty.

He stopped at the door for a moment and turned around. Then he saw Summer standing behind him out of nowhere.

Summer looked at him expressionlessly, “Why can’t I open the door to my room?”

She had just wanted to go back to her room, but she had failed in spite of her utmost effort.

“The lock on the door is broken,” Leonardo said calmly. She couldn’t tell if he was lying.

Summer looked at him suspiciously. Wasn’t it just fine last night when she went out?

Noticing that she was behaving normally, Leonardo guessed that she had already known nothing had happened between them.

“Let’s eat.” With that, he went downstairs.

She had lost her appetite because of the thought that she and “Douglas” had done something. In fact, she had been starving.

In the dining room.

Summer and Leonardo sat face to face as a bodyguard brought them the food.

She had always been curious about why there were only bodyguards in the villa and no servants. The maids were better at taking care of others.

Summer tentatively asked Douglas, “Does your cousin hate women?”

Hearing that, Leonardo paused. Was it that obvious?

He put down the spoon and looked up at Summer, “Why do you ask that?”

Summer also put down her spoon, “It seems that he has never wanted to see me, and there are no maids in the villa.”

Leonardo smiled and remained silent.

Summer felt as if she had forgotten something, rubbing her head. Then she suddenly sat up straight and asked, “Is Jessica alright?”

Then she remembered that although Leonardo had seen Jessica before, he might not know her. She added, “She came to the villa to find me the other day. She and Carl know each other.”

As he thought about last night, Leonardo’s expression darkened slightly. “She’s fine.”

She was in the mood to care about others? If he hadn’t been there last night, she wouldn’t have escaped from the Violet Gold Club.

Summer was still worried, and reached for her phone. But then she remembered that her phone fell to pieces when she jumped off the building last night.

Leonardo caught a glimpse of her movements and took out a box from behind him, placing it in front of her.

“What is it?” Summer asked curiously. Leonardo didn’t say anything. He glanced at her and signaled her to open it.

Summer opened the box and found that there was a brand-new women’s phone.
