Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 106

In the Tip Top Media Company.

Leonardo was in a meeting when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

He lowered his head and looked at his phone. With a single glance, the cold expression on his face eased.

Then, he picked up his phone and left the conference room.

As soon as he left, the people below, who didn't dare to speak, became alive. They all asked Carl, "Who called the president?"

"His wife, of course!" Carl could know that it was Summer who called him without even looking at Leonardo's phone.

"The president has a wife??"

"Right. A person with a bad temper like him can find a wife. Why haven't I...?"

...

After closing the door of the conference room, Leonardo answered the call.

Before he spoke, Summer said gently, "Where are you? I'll prepare your lunch at noon."

Her voice was soft, but now she deliberately slowed down her tone, making it seem gentler.

Summer wanted to prepare lunch for him!

What was wrong with her today?

"Are you at home?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll come back and have lunch."

"OK." Anyway, her goal was not to deliver food to him.

...

At noon, "Douglas" came back on time.

Summer brought the soup to the table and saw him enter the dining room.

"You came back just in time. You can eat now." Summer's apron hadn't been taken off yet. She stood at the other end of the dining table and looked at him with a smile.

Leonardo slightly felt that Summer was a little strange today.

However, he just quietly looked her up and down, and then sat down to eat.

Summer discovered that "Douglas" was much focused when he was doing something, even eating. It was as if he could only saw the bowl in front of him and did not look at anything else.

Summer took out her phone from her pocket and took a photo of Douglas's clear side view.

"Douglas" looked at her thoughtfully. His pair of ink-like deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people.

Summer's heart was filled with anxiety. He should not have noticed that she had taken a photo of him!

However, he just asked, "You're not eating?"

"I'm not too hungry yet," Summer said as she took off her apron and went out.

After "Douglas" finished his meal and left, Summer also went out.

She took the bus to the rental house and brought a lot of food from home before leaving.

Little Douglas was playing games on the sofa with a bag of potato chips besides him.

"Have you eaten lunch?" Summer picked up the things on the ground while walking towards him.

Little Douglas raised her head and looked at her, saying, "No."

Summer felt that this child was too naughty. Just because of the games, he ran away from home.

"What are you going to do if I don't come back? Won't you contact your family? And are you going to starve yourself to death here?"

"It's impossible," he said without raising his head, "At worst, I may go rob a bank."

His tone was still very serious...

Summer didn't want to talk to him.

Finally, he finished a round. He took the food Summer brought him and started eating. He suddenly raised his head with a surprised expression, "I want to eat this restaurant's food next time!"

Summer pointed at the corner of his mouth and indicated that there was rice on it, saying, "I cooked it myself."

He reached out and rubbed the corner of his mouth, then said, "Could you be my girlfriend?"

Summer was shocked.

Seeing that Summer did not say anything, he took the initiative to say, "Although I am very poor now, when I become a professional player, I will be able to earn money to buy you anything you like. Think about it."

Women liked buying a lot of things. Just like his mother, she went shopping every day.

That serious tone made Summer feel amused.

"Shut up. I'm already married." As Summer said this, she took out her phone and showed the photo of "Douglas" she took to him, asking, "Do you know this man??"

Little Douglas took a glance and said, "This is my cousin, where did you secretly shoot him??"

"Where is he? I treat you as a friend, but you actually help him catch me back!" he said in a panic.

"No!" Summer felt that the child's reaction was quite fast. "Which cousin of yours?" she asked.

"Leonardo! My mother and his father are siblings. He is the only cousin I have!" After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to grab some food and said vaguely, "It's really delicious. You can divorce your husband and be my girlfriend. Since your husband doesn’t improve your living standard and you live in this kind of place, he must have a mistress. Divorce him as soon as possible. I'm young, handsome, and have limitless potential..."

The shock and anger in Summer's heart instantly expanded after hearing what Little Douglas said.

"You are just a child. You know nothing!"

He continued, "Although my cousin looks good, he has a bad temper. He is very scary. People like him usually can't find a girlfriend. I heard that his wife is an ugly woman..."

Summer's face became gloomy instantly. She said dryly, "Are you going live like this? When will you contact your parents?"

"I won't contact them unless they give me freedom to play games."

"They will be worried!"

"No, they're already used to it, so I'll go a little further this time. Only in this way, can I attract their attention."

Summer didn't know what to say.

So, it seemed that he usually ran away from home.

His parents were also quite ... casual.

However, he was only a half-grown child, and she could not tell Douglas about him now. She could not really ignore him, so she had to take care of him for the time being.

On the way back, Summer received a phone call from Lynn.

"Summer, how was your conversation with Leonardo? When will he help us?"

Summer sighed and said, "There was so much money missing in that black card. He thought that I spent too much money, so he took the black card back and refused to see me all day."

"But you must ask him to help us as soon as possible!"

"I'll do my best, Dad. Don't worry."

"Of course, I'm at ease. After all, you are a filial child, especially to your mother ... She has been accustomed to a comfortable life these past few years. If the Jarrett Group fails to recover, it doesn't matter to me, but I can't tolerate that your mother live a life of austerity..."

Lynn thought that Summer cared about Karen very much, so he deliberately said this to imply that Summer needed do her best to help him.

Summer paused for a moment and said in a slightly moved tone, "Yes, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Summer snorted and stuffed her phone back into her bag.

Wanting her to beg Leonardo to help the Jarrett Group? No way!
