Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 176

Everywhere they passed, Summer and Leonardo were greeted by servants and bodyguards.

Even their curves of bending were the same. They lined up neatly, and were clearly well-trained.

Summer was shocked secretly, and her expression became somewhat solemn.

The Emersons' old house was very big. They passed through the front yard and went through the hall to the back yard.

As Charlie grew old, he liked to live in quiet place, so he had moved to the quiet backyard.

When they arrived at Charlie's door, Leonardo asked the servant guarding the door, "Is grandpa inside?"

"Yes." When the servant saw Leonardo, his face had a hint of joy. He gently pushed the door open and said carefully, "Mr. Charlie, Mr. Emerson is back."

The servant only opened the door slightly, and it was just enough for him to stand there. Summer could not see inside. She could only hear a slightly aged voice. "Let them in."

The servant turned around and nodded slightly at Leonardo.

Leonardo tightened his grip on Summer's hand and said, "Let's get in."

Summer was brought into the room by Leonardo.

The room was well heated. There was a faint fragrance of ink and tea. The furnishings were simple. There was a row of bookshelves, a desk, and some tea sets.

Charlie was dressed in a traditional Chinese suit. He was holding calligraphy brush. He stood in front of the desk and wrote calligraphy. Although he was over seventy years old, he was vigorous and stood upright. His entire body emitted a calm aura.

Leonardo called him, "Grandpa."

Charlie raised his head and met Summer's eyes for she had been staring at him. He did not say a word, but Summer felt great pressure.

Summer lowered her eyes slightly, and Leonardo silently pulled Summer behind him.

Charlie saw Leonardo's protective posture, and snorted, "Who is this little girl?"

Leonardo raised his eyebrows. "The person you want to see."

His tone could be said to be a little provocative, causing Charlie to glare at him. Charlie put the calligraphy brush down. "Who are you?"

Summer was speechless.

Could it be that Charlie had Alzheimer's disease?

Just as she thought about this, Charlie suddenly looked at her and said, "Do you want to say I have Alzheimer's disease?"

Summer was shocked by his words.

Do the Emersons all have the ability to read people's minds?

However, the way Charlie stared at her wasn't that intimidating. Instead, she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Summer smiled. "No, I just feel that grandpa's spirit is really good."

These words made Charlie happy. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Summer for a few seconds. "Come here."

Summer turned around and looked at Leonardo. Leonardo gave her a relieved look and gently pushed her on her back, letting her to go over.

Although the conversation between Leonardo and Mr. Charlie was somewhat baffling, she could still feel that Leonardo and Charlie had a good relationship. It could even be said that they were close.

Summer walked over obediently and had a serious expression. She said seriously, "Grandfather, I am Leonardo's wife, Summer."

Charlie did not speak immediately. He just looked at her quietly. Summer was a little nervous being stared at by him.

Charlie seemed to have noticed her apprehension and revealed a smile similar to that of a child who played a prank successfully on her. He smiled and said, "Well, you look good. Sit down."

Summer was stunned for a moment, then she wanted to turn around to look at Leonardo again, but she was glared at by Charlie, "Why are you looking at that brat? Just sit down."

She had no choice but to sit down.

However, when she heard that Leonardo was called "brat", she actually felt very interesting.

Summer sat down beside Charlie.

Seeing this, Leonardo also walked over and was about to sit down beside Summer. However, he was kicked on the shin by Charlie. "Who told you to sit down?"

Charlie's kick was fast and steady, and it was clear that he kicked hard.

Summer felt the pain when she looked at it, and Leonardo frowned slightly. His frowning was obviously because of the pain.

"Grandfather," Leonardo said helplessly, "This is the first time I've brought your granddaughter-in-law home. Can't you be more considerate?"

"You want me to be considerate? Then are you considerate?" Charlie was clearly even angrier than Leonardo, "Do you remember the last time you went back to the old house to see me?"

Hearing this, Leonardo fell silent.

The room fell into a suffocating silence.

Summer understood vaguely what the conversation between Leonardo and Charlie meant.

Leonardo suspected that the Emersons had intervened in his mother's case back then, so he disliked the Emersons and also didn't want to return to the old house.

Today was the first time she had been brought back to the old house by Leonardo. She shouldn't intervene in their affairs.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again.

The person who entered was Leonardo's father, Michael.

Michael called Charlie first, "Dad."

After that, he turned to look at Leonardo and said, "Someone called me and said that you were back. I didn't believe it then. Why didn't you tell me in advance? You can have dinner here today and stay here tonight. Your room has always been cleaned by servants, so you can live in directly."

Charlie immediately snorted coldly, "What are you keeping him for? Tell him to scram!"

...

In the end, Leonardo and Summer stayed at the old house.

During the meal, a few people sat at the huge dining table, a row of servants standing besides, which made Summer very uncomfortable.

After dinner, Michael left first. Summer and Leonardo accompanied Charlie back to his room.

The servant was boiling water and making tea. Charlie took out a red envelope and handed it to Summer.

Summer did not take it immediately.

Charlie glared at her. "What? You dare not accept the greeting gift from me?"

Summer finally knew where Leonardo had inherited the arrogant and presumptuous temperament from.

"Thank you, Grandpa." After Summer took it, she felt that the red envelope was very thin. She guessed that it might be something like a check.

Regardless of what was inside, Summer was somewhat surprised.

Before coming, she had always thought that she would be embarrassed by Charlie, but she never thought that Charlie would accept her so easily.

After drinking tea with Charlie for a while, Summer and Leonardo were driven back to their rooms to rest.

The room was where Leonardo lived when he was a teenager. After the case of his mother of that year, he went abroad. After getting back from abroad, he did not return to the old house and directly stayed in the villa on the hillside.

The furnishings in the room still had traces of the youth's life with posters of basketball stars, robots, books, game consoles ....
