Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 169

Hearing his words, Summer pushed him away. "No, I have to go."

She knew that Leonardo didn't want her to go on the business trip again.

Leonardo did not say anything. He just stared at her with his dark eyes. Summer couldn't tell his emotions from them. However, she felt that he seemed to be a little aggrieved.

"I'll be back in a week." Summer curled her lips. She thought that she might have misunderstood the meaning in his eyes.

Leonardo wasn't that clingy. Moreover, she was only on the business trip for a week.

"Alright," Leonardo replied and pulled her hand. "Let's go eat."

...

Upon returning to their room at night, Leonardo threw Summer in bed. "I'll give you a choice. Do you want to have the next week's sex now or compensate me when you come back?"

Summer didn't know what to say.

She didn't even want to choose.

Summer snorted, sat up with her arms and went to the bathroom.

It was impossible for her to agree to Leonardo's unfair and unreasonable request.

However, Leonardo made love to her in the bathroom. Then they went back to the bed. Leonardo murmured against her face and ears for a while before letting her go.

The next morning, Summer was woken up by Leonardo.

"Babe, it's time to get up."

She opened her eyes and saw Leonardo had got dressed. He looked completely different from the sexy man in the bathroom last night.

Summer was very sleepy. She had woken up, but her voice was hoarse. "What time is it?"

"Six o'clock." Leonardo had washed up and he sounded normal.

It was six o'clock now. Summer usually needed half an hour to eat and wash up. It took more than an hour to go to the airport. Leonardo's timing was impeccable.

Summer closed her eyes and counted the time drowsily. She just wanted to continuing sleeping.

And Leonardo seduced her in her ear with his deep and charming voice. "If you don't want to get up, just sleep."

Once he said that, Summer immediately woke up.

They had great sex at last night, but he woke her up so early. He clearly did not want her to go on the business trip.

This cunning fox!

Summer gritted her teeth, sat up and muttered, "Cunning fox!"

Leonardo's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything else.

...

Leonardo drove Summer to the airport.

They met up with Alexander there.

This was the second time Alexander had seen Leonardo since he returned.

Alexander said first, "Just let the driver bring Summer over. It's too troublesome for you to send her here."

Hearing this, Leonardo glanced at Summer and said, "I'm not that busy."

Summer looked calm, and she couldn't help but call his bluff in her heart.

He was clearly very busy, but now he pretended that he was fine.

Alexander nodded slightly, and he didn't want to say anything about it.

But Leonardo continued, "Mr. Jarret, please take care of my wife when you arrive at Middleburg."

He had been indifferent and emotionless in front of outsiders. But it could not cover up the threats in his tone.

Even Summer could tell that, let alone Alexander.

Alexander stiffened for a moment before he calmly said, "She's my granddaughter. I know what to do."

Hearing this, Leonardo only put on a faint smile.

Alexander turned to Summer and said, "Let's go."

Summer walked in with her luggage. She didn't forget to turn around and give Leonardo a phone signal.

She would call him when she got to Middleburg.

Leonardo wore a luxurious tailor-made suit today. His tall and spare frame cut an impressive figure. Standing in the airport where people came and went, he looked like glowing and attracted all the attention. He was proud, but now he looked lonely somehow.

Summer turned around and looked at him for a few times before walking towards the security checkpoint.

Then she noticed that Alexander looked terrible.

It must be because he had been threatened by Leonardo, and he was embarrassed about it.

Although Leonardo wanted Alexander to take care of her, Summer knew that she should help Alexander push his luggage.

Alexander didn't bring his assistant or secretary, so Summer could only take over all the things.

Seeing Summer take over the suitcase in his hand, Alexander couldn't help but turn to look at her.

Summer replied with a smile.

She had hardly been alone with Alexander before. Now it was a little awkward to her.

Fortunately, Alexander did not want to talk to her. After boarding the plane, they both rested.

...

Two hours later, the plane landed at Middleburg International Airport.

The hotel sent a car to pick them up.

Summer turned her phone on and found that there were two missed calls from Leonardo.

She replied to Leonardo by message. "Just got off the plane."

About two seconds later, she received his reply saying "Got it".

Just as she put down her phone, Alexander said, "We're going to a dinner party tonight. There is nothing in the afternoon."

After Alexander got into the car, he closed his eyes to rest. When he said that, his eyes remained closed.

After arriving at the hotel, Summer took a shower and had a long sleep.

It was afternoon when she woke up.

She ordered some food from room service before looking at her phone.

There was only one unread message from Leonardo: send me your hotel address.

Summer imagined Leonardo sitting in his office and frowning as he typed the message on his phone. She couldn't help but laugh.

She felt that she was like a daughter who went out to work. And Leonardo was the father who was worried about his daughter and asked her to send him the address of the hotel.

Although this imagination was funny, Summer still sent him the address.

...

In the evening, Summer accompanied Alexander to the dinner party.

Those who came to the dinner were all old men. And Summer could see that they had a good relationship with Alexander.

After a few days, Summer finally knew why Alexander was here on business. He just wanted to meet his old friends.

The reason why he brought Summer instead of Vicky was that he knew that Vicky was too arrogant and willful. She may easily cause trouble for him, so he didn't bring Vicky along.

When Alexander introduced Summer, he said, "This is my little granddaughter."

Then someone joked. "Hey, why don't you introduce your granddaughter to my grandson!"

Alexander shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can't. She's married."

"Who is so lucky to marry your good granddaughter?"

"An Emerson."

Now everyone knew that Summer was the young madam of the Emersons.

However, Summer felt a little uncomfortable.

Alexander did not only come to get in touch with old friends, but he also used Summer's identity to earn respect for himself.

After all, he had been abroad for many years. He was not very intimate with these old friends.

But if he had a granddaughter who married into the Emersons, they would respect him no matter what.
