Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 135

When Summer went out for lunch, she saw Leonardo leaning against the car not far away.

He wore a tailored black suit and a white shirt without a tie, and the two buttons on his collar were unbuttoned, making him look a little unruly.

Summer subconsciously stopped.

Leonardo had already turned his gaze towards her. He straightened his back without any other movements or words, just focusing on her direction.

He meant for her to come to him.

Summer pursed her lips and walked towards him with her chin raised.

As she approached, she crossed her arms and said indifferently, "President Emerson, what's up?"

In fact, she was a little nervous.

This was the first time Summer had confronted Leonardo face to face since "Douglas" became Leonardo.

When facing Leonardo, most of the time, she was a little afraid of him. It was an instinctive fear of the strong.

Hearing this, Leonardo frowned slightly, "What did you call me?"

"President of Tip Top Media Company." The smile in Summer's eyes was slightly cold, "Thank you for sending me an invitation for the interview."

Leonardo narrowed his eyes slightly. The expression on his face revealed no obvious emotion. However, his slightly deep voice revealed a trace of undetectable displeasure, "Who told you that?"

"Does it matter?" Summer's face turned cold as she raised her eyebrows, "Since you chose to conceal it back then, there will definitely be a day when it will be discovered."

Hearing her words, Leonardo did not show any signs of anger. He said casually, "So what do you want?"

His righteous appearance rendered Summer speechless.

What could she do?

Even if Leonardo concealed the truth and lied to her, she couldn't do anything to him.

However, there was a barrier in her heart that she could not cross, so she could not pretend to be calm when getting along with him.

She might have been a little impulsive about what happened last night, but she didn't regret it.

Summer pursed her lips and turned around to leave.

Leonardo stared at her back for a few seconds before following her casually.

The two of them entered the dining hall one after the other.

As soon as Summer sat down, Leonardo also sat down.

Summer said angrily, "What are you doing here?"

Leonardo's eyes were filled with seriousness, "You didn't answer the question I asked you just now. What do you want to do to me?"

"What can I do to you?"

"You can do whatever you want."

Summer was almost confused by Leonardo. The two of them were almost half a hundred years old together, but they were playing the word game like two children.

"I want you to stay away from me." Now she was annoyed with him.

At this moment, sitting in front of Leonardo, she felt like a fool.

From beginning to end, everything about her was under his control.

Leonardo knew everything about her every move.

But she knew nothing about Leonardo.

When he was still "Douglas," even though she had feelings for him, she could still be calm because of the brother-and sister-in-law relationship between the two of them.

But when he was Leonardo, her feeling for him grew stronger and stronger. After the relationship between the two of them became formal, she began to want to balance the relationship between them.

"Oh." Leonardo indifferently replied, "I can't."

"You…"

Summer changed her mind and asked tentatively, "Why must you force my grandfather to return home?"

Leonardo looked up at her, his ink-like eyes deep and gloomy.

Uneasy under his gaze, she couldn't help but reach out to touch the cup in front of her.

At this moment, Leonardo opened his mouth and said, "Guess."

Summer’s mind went blank, then she curled her lips and smiled. Her bright eyes curved up slightly, as if she did not care about his answer, "Oh."

Leonardo didn't want to tell her.

Leonardo treated her well perhaps because she was his wife, or because he was interested in her, or perhaps because she was a member of the Jarrett Group.

At this moment, Summer came to realize that the reason why Leonardo fulfilled his engagement to Vicky was that Vicky was a member of the Jarrett Group.

The Emersons did care what woman Leonardo married, but Leonardo didn't. As long as it was the daughter of the Jarrett Group, he didn't care whether it was Vicky or Summer.

With this sudden depression, she lost her appetite.

When the dishes were served, she took a few bites and put down her chopsticks.

Leonardo glanced at her and picked up the dishes for her. His voice was low and calm, "Thanks for last night. Eat more."

Summer blushed, "I don't want to eat. I don't have any appetite!"

"Is it because you haven't rested properly?" Leonardo asked seriously, "Then go home and rest in the afternoon. Anyway, you're not happy, working for the Jarrett Group."

Summer was slightly stunned.

Few people cared if she was happy or not.

When Leonardo treated her well, he was really good.

It was said that the land of tenderness was the grave of heroes, but Summer felt that when a man like Leonardo really treated a woman well, it was also the powerful poison.

...

After the meal, the two of them went out and met Vicky.

It was always hard to avoid the enemy.

Vicky smiled meaningfully, "Summer was so close to Mr. Douglas that you even eat together in your free time. Does my brother-in-law know it?"

Leonardo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Of course, I can't let my cousin know about this kind of thing."

Summer quietly stretched out her hand and fiercely twisted the back of Leonardo's hand, reminding him not to speak nonsense.

Leonardo's expression did not change as he grabbed her hand and said, "Summer, I'm leaving first. I'll pick you up tonight."

Summer did not say anything, and her face was written with the word "Scram".

However, after Leonardo finished speaking, he did not leave.

Just as Summer was about to ask him why he still hadn't left, Leonardo suddenly leaned closer to her, "Cousin-in-law, aren't you going to kiss me goodbye?"

"What?"

After he finished speaking, he kissed Summer in front of Vicky before turning around and leaving with a smile on his face.

Seeing that smile, Summer felt that he was really annoying.

Although Vicky's private life was in a mess, she never thought that Summer and "Douglas" would be so unscrupulous and not avoid suspicion in public.

"Summer, you are really..." Vicky was speechless for a moment and only said a few seconds later, "shameless!"

Summer was wearing a high heel today. Even though Vicky was wearing high heels, she was still a little shorter than her.

Summer looked down at her and said indifferently, "Less than you."
