Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 226

Seeing Leonardo out, Tim got off and opened the car door for him.

"Mr. Emerson."

Leonardo slightly nodded. His face was still cold.

Having sat on the car, he suddenly asked, "Why did you divorce your wife?"

Tim paused, not knowing why Leonardo would ask about this.

But since he had asked, Tim naturally had to answer him.

"Exactly, I don't know why. I've forgotten what we quarreled about the last time. At that time, we both felt divorce a good choice."

Tim sounded a little upset.

"You still love her?"

Without hesitation, Tim replied, "Yes."

"Since you still love her, why would you agree to divorce?" Leonardo was still indifferent, but subtle change of emotions could be told by his tone.

Tim vaguely understood why Leonardo asked him about his divorce.

"She put forward it. She said that every day is torturous for her. The divorce might make her feel better. I can't bear to see her in such pain." Tim's voice turned hoarse.

Sitting in the backseat, Leonardo could see the profile of Tim, which looked mature and earnest.

Tim was a man who would always take overall interests into account. He wasn't special, but he was scrupulous and sincere. That was why he had taken a fancy to Tim at a glance.

"What about you?"

"Yes, I felt painful." Tim smiled as if he had thought of something joyful. "But I see my son once a week, and I can see her, too."

Leonardo frowned with a little anger, "You have a child? Since you have a child, how could she leave you as long as you keep the child with you?"

Tim also knew that Leonardo had not allowed Summer to go out earlier.

He knew Leonardo's concern.

"I will be satisfied as long as she lives happily."

"Even if it is not you who bring her happiness?"

"Yes."

Leonardo sneered, "Then it would be better to tie the two together in pain."

Tim also felt somewhat helpless, "Mr. Emerson, love couldn't be treated like this."

"So, it seemed that you're happy to be alone?" Leonardo said mockingly.

Tim, "...." Leonardo would just mock him if he didn't disagree with him.

He had worked for Leonardo after graduating, so he naturally knew him better than others. He knew that Leonardo had a concern and also knew his capacity.

He did not dare to say that Leonardo was a kind man, but he did dare to say that he was not vicious. And that was why he was willing to work for him for so many years.

The reason why a man worked for another for so many years was not only the generous salary. The senior's charisma was also an important part.

....

After breakfast, Summer sat in the hall and checked the date.

Only then did she realize that the New Year was coming in about ten days.

Putting the phone aside, she felt a little annoyed.

That news had almost passed. But since the New Year was coming, she wasn't anxious to look for a job. Besides, she was pregnant now. Few companies would want an employee who would take two months of maternity leave after becoming a regular employee.

Her plan was totally disrupted. She had to rearrange everything after the baby was born.

Every time she thought of this, Summer wanted to complain of Leonardo.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Sorry, Mr. Emerson has instructed...."

"How dare you! Just let me in!"

A quarrel came from outside. Summer got up and walked towards the door.

She went out of the hall and saw a group of people gathered at the entrance. It seemed that they were quarreling.

The bodyguards seemed to be stopping someone.

But they were so tall that they completely blocking the person they were talking to. Summer could not see it.

She walked over, "What happened?"

"Mrs. Emerson."

The bodyguards stepped aside and lowered their heads respectfully.

Until this moment could Summer clearly see that person. It was Alisa. She had seen her once in the old house.

This time, Alisa was more courteous than when she was at the old house.

She smiled and greeted her, "Summer."

Summer could tell that she was trying to flatter her, but she pretended to be ignorant. She said with a surprised expression, "You came to look for Leonardo? He has gone to the company."

Alisa paused but soon recovered, "No, I heard from grandpa that you're pregnant. So I specially came to visit you, and I even brought you a set of makeup for pregnant women."

As she spoke, she raised the bag in her hand.

Summer glanced at the logo and recognized that it was a product of the Emerson Group. Leonardo had already given her several sets of it.

Since Alisa had come, it was not polite to drive her away.

"Thank you so much," Summer received the bag, "come in."

Hearing this, Alisa just followed her inside, but the bodyguards stopped her.

Summer turned around and said, "She is Mr. Emerson's cousin. Let her in."

Only then did the bodyguard let Alisa in.

Alisa walked forward and tried to link Summer's arm, but Summer quietly avoided her.

Alisa withdrew her hand awkwardly and looked around. Seeing that no one was looking at her, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Summer had seen Eliza the moment she turned around.

She directly called her, "Eliza, put this bag in place. This is from Alisa. Keep it properly."

Eliza had thought that Summer would put her on the spot since she had the big talk yesterday. Out of expectation, Summer didn't.

But she would never believe Summer was so nice.

Hearing Summer asked her to take the bag, she sneered. Sure enough, she was going to show up.

When she looked up and saw Alisa, her face abruptly changed.

"Alisa?"

"Eliza!"

They almost called out each other's names at the same time.

"You know each other?" Summer was surprised.

Actually, she did it on purpose. Eliza was the daughter of the director, and Alisa was the host of the TV station. They should be acquainted.

Summer had heard of things about Alisa and Eliza when she was at school—one of her classmates did an internship in the Hoover City TV station.

However, at that time, she did not know that the director's daughter was named Eliza.

Alisa was directly arranged in the TV station. Everyone knew she should have a good background. And Eliza was the director's daughter. She worked behind the scenes and always met Alisa while working. What's more, both of them had good looks, so others always compared them.

Hence, they went against each other.

Summer had just remembered it when seeing Alisa.

Alisa noticed the uniform of Eliza and mocked, "I've heard that Miss Eliza wants to marry into the Emerson, but I didn't expect that you are even willing to be a maid."

Eliza's face turned pale, "None of your business!"
