Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 164

Carl noticed that Summer hadn't looked at Leonardo since they met.

He wanted to help Leonardo, so he said, "Don't leave now. Let's have dinner together. Leonardo drove his car here. Since he will be drinking tonight, you can drive him home later."

"Tim can do that. He can also call for a substitute driver," Summer smiled slightly, her expression being absolutely normal.

Leonardo looked up at Summer.

These days, he always left early and returned home late. He didn't have much time to spend with Summer at home and didn't even have the chance to talk to her properly.

This was the first time he looked at her so closely in this week.

They lived in the same villa, but when looking at her like this, he actually felt like he missed her.

Summer also noticed that Leonardo was looking at her. Her face started to stiffen and the calm expression on her face was about to change.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to keep calm. So she turned around to leave.

Just as she stepped forward, someone caught her hand.

Immediately after, a deep and husky voice came into her ear, "We'll go back together later."

His said it calmly, and she could not sense any emotions in his tone.

His hands were warm and dry, and they tightly wrapped around her hands, making her feel warm and at ease.

Summer curled her fingers and said, "I have to go back to catch my draft."

Leonardo's face darkened. He didn't give her another chance to refuse and directly pulled her into the elevator.

Carl and Warren followed them.

Summer could not lose her temper in front of them, and she couldn't pull back her hands.

The anger in her heart accumulated.

Leonardo looked at her delicate face. She was clearly angry, but she was trying not to lose temper. Seeing her like that had somehow made his bad mood better.

On the side, Carl saw the expressions of Leonardo and Summer.

He really couldn't understand Leonardo.

Was Leonardo happy when Summer was obviously angered by him?

What a twisted man!

Then, he thought of Jessica. Not to mention holding hands, he would be thrilled for days if Jessica said a few more words to him.

What a contrast.

Comparisons are odious!

...

Warren was also a little depressed. He thought that it would be the three of them drinking and chatting. But in reality it was him and Carl watching the two love birds showing their affection for each other.

"Do you want this?"

"What about this?"

Leonardo asked Summer as he showed her the dish.

Summer didn't know why Leonardo was acting like this today in front of Carl and Warren. But she couldn't refuse him. In the end, she ate a lot.

While she was eating, the three men were drinking.

When she looked up, she found that there were several empty wine bottles on the table.

And Carl was crying on Warren's shoulder like a child....

Warren looked reluctant and wanted to push Carl away.

He couldn't beat Carl in a fight, and his strength wasn't as great as Carl's. So he couldn't push Carl away and could only let Carl crying on his body.

Summer tried to put on a poker face, but she couldn't hide her shocked expression.

"I don't know what I did wrong...."

"Wait. I did do something wrong, but it wasn't that serious...."

Carl said while crying. Summer started to felt a little sad for him.

Suddenly, something heavy landed on her shoulder.

She turned around and discovered that Leonardo had leaned against her shoulder with his eyes slightly closed.

"You...." Was he drunk?

Summer pushed Leonardo but he did not react at all.

She and Warren looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

...

It took Summer a lot of effort to get Leonardo into the car.

The drunken Leonardo didn't allow anyone to touch him except Summer.

Carl was carried into the car, drunk like a skunk.

Warren closed the door of his car and walked to Summer and Leonardo's car, "Can you do it by yourself?"

"There are bodyguards at home." If she couldn't drag Leonardo into the house, she could ask the bodyguards for help.

Warren raised his eyebrows and did not say anything.

Summer paused and said, "At worst, I can knock him unconscious and let the bodyguard carry him."

She didn't know what was wrong with Leonardo. He wouldn't let anyone touch him when he was drunk, except for her.

She suspected that he was pretending to be drunk.

Summer sensed a subtle change in Warren's expression. If she hadn't misinterpreted it, Warren's eyes were filled with admiration...

What else could she do? He is too heavy. She couldn't carry him on her back.

Summer drove Leonardo home.

The drunken Leonardo was very quiet. He slightly closed his eyes as Summer helped him into the house.

Although it was difficult, Summer still managed to drag him upstairs.

She couldn't explain why she didn't ask the bodyguards for help.

She threw Leonardo on the bed and went to the bathroom to get a wet towel.

When they were at the Golden Cauldron Club, he strongly refused to let the waiter carry him. Because of that, his shirt became wrinkled and three of the buttons on his shirt were undone. He tightly pursed his lips and slightly closed his eyes. Overall, he looked less cold and less dangerous than usual.

Summer took a deep breath and wiped his face with the towel.

Just as she reached out, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Summer was shocked and suddenly pulled her hand back.

Leonardo's eyes were blank. Suddenly, he sat up from the bed and stared at Summer.

Summer said, "You are awake?"

Leonardo threw himself into her arms and softly shouted, "Mom!"

Summer dropped the towel on the bed out of surprise.

The towel was wet. Summer quickly picked it up and threw it to the side so it wouldn't wet the sheets.

After Leonardo hugged her, he stopped moving.

Summer did not dare to move, because Leonardo looked... terrifyingly fragile.

After a while, Summer's entire body stiffened. She tentatively called him, "... Leonardo?"

Leonardo did not respond, so Summer tried to push him.

It was as if Leonardo was a robot and was activated by her action. When she moved, he suddenly hugged her tightly and kept calling her Mom.

Summer, "...."

After a while, she reached out and patted Leonardo on the back. She said in a trembling voice, "Let go of me first. Mom will help you get changed...."

After saying that, Summer shivered.

Somehow, these words had a good effect on Leonardo.

He let go of Summer and opened his arms as if he was waiting for her to change his clothes.

His eyes were half closed, and there was no longer coldness on his face. It looked that he completely trusted Summer.
