Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 239

Sometimes people are like this. For someone who had never or rarely made a mistake, as long as they made a small one, it would be infinitely magnified.

Also, for the evil people, once they did a good deed, which would be magnified infinitely.

Mostly, people were more tolerant of evil people.

Summer wasn't sure if the negative news about Adams was true. But she knew that Adams’ reputation would be seriously damaged.

After all, Adams was an actor she had fanned for so many years. So, Summer had somewhat mixed emotions.

Along the way, Summer was a little depressed. When she returned home, she couldn't help but ask Leonardo, "Is that true?"

Summer suddenly understood why Leonardo still wanted to give Adams a chance when he had his secrets photographed and implicated her.

Because she, at that time, was in the same mood as Leonardo then.

Putting aside Leonardo's identity as Adams' cousin, she was a greater fan of Adams for seven or eight years. She did not want to believe that he would actually torture and kill animals.

One of Summer's college roommates didn't like animals. She would walk far away when she saw kittens and dogs. And she wasn't any unkind to them.

Psychologically, it was said that killing small animals is a manifestation of mental disorders in people.

If one's distorted mental disorder was not solved in time, the target he would persecute may change from animals to humans.

In short, it was psychopathic.

"True or false, who cares?" Leonardo didn't care about this matter at all.

What he cared about was the result.

Seeing that Summer was confused, Leonardo pondered for a while and said seriously, "I have never heard of such a thing before, and I'm not certain if it is true. However, those who want to deal with him are prepared. If they dare to reveal this negative news, they would find more mistakes that Adams made."

'Find more mistakes...'

"Are you saying that it is true?" Summer's expression changed slightly.

Leonardo stopped the topic and patted her head, "Go back to your room and have a rest."

He knew that Summer was Adams’ fan. If it were true, it would have some impact on her.

Summer nodded, "OK."

She indeed needed some rest.

Summer stopped when she passed Douglas' room.

As soon as he returned, Douglas went back to his room. And he wondered if his room was still the same as it used to be since he hadn't stayed here for a long time.

Suddenly, the door was opened from the inside.

"Summer?" Douglas was surprised to see Summer standing at the door.

Summer revealed a faint smile and said, "I just happened to pass by. I'm going back to my room."

Douglas looked down and then thought of something, "Oh, are you busy?"

Summer looked at Douglas carefully and realized that his eyes seemed to be a little red.

She didn't ask him what was wrong. Instead, she replied, "No, I'm not."

Douglas obviously had something to say to her, but he pretended to be relaxed, "Shall we go to the movies together?"

"Sure." A child could seldom hide his thoughts, and Summer did not uncover Douglas.

They had a projection room in the villa, but Summer was usually not interested in seeing movies alone.

This was the first time she entered that room.

It was spacious inside, and the sofa was very large. They sat in a row holding a box of potato chips, waiting for the movie to begin.

The movie was chosen by Douglas. Only when the movie started did Summer discover that it was a cartoon...

Summer chewed a potato chip.

Then she asked, "Are you sure you want to see this?"

Douglas grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth. He vaguely said, "Do you know that? You shouldn't only think about yourself but also my nephew."

"Your nephew?"

Douglas pointed at her belly and said, "Here he is."

"..."

Summer was amused, "He is only an embryo now."

Douglas lowered the voice of the movie a little and asked curiously, "Then he can't hear us?"

"Yes."

Summer looked down and gently touched her flat belly. Then she tilted her head to look at Douglas, "What do you want to say to me?"

"I know what happened to Adams and Leonardo." After saying that, Douglas sighed, looking like a little old man.

"Yes?" Summer knew that he still had something to say, so she encouraged him to continue.

"I've said before that I spend more time with Leonardo than with my parents and Adams. My parents seem to love each other. And Adams seems to be gentle, but I feel something was wrong..."

Summer was stunned, "What was wrong?"

Although Douglas' words sounded a little mysterious, Summer could tell that this was the truth in Douglas' heart.

"It's hard to express..." Douglas scratched his head in distress and suddenly ran to the vase and pulled out an artificial flower.

He lifted the flower to Summer and said, "Adams is just like this flower. It's very beautiful and seems real, but it's just fake."

"You mean, you find your family artificial?" Summer whispered "artificial", because she wasn't sure if Douglas meant it.

"Yeah, I feel like they're all wearing masks."

Douglas lowered his head. He tensed up tightly and then frowned.

Summer did not know about Douglas' family. She also did not know the feeling that laid between Douglas' parents.

But she knew that there must be something wrong with Adams.

Summer asked Douglas tentatively, "Did you see that news online about Adams?"

"Yes," Douglas' expression changed, "when we were very young, we had a big white cat. Leonardo and I liked it very much and it often slept in our rooms. But one night, it went to Adams' room. When I woke up the next morning, I saw it lying on the fence covered in blood..."

His voice trembled slightly, "My mom said that it was bitten to death by the German shepherd next door..."

Summer couldn't bear to ask anymore and touched his head, "Stop thinking about it. Since your mom said that the German shepherd bit it, then it must be."

Douglas shook his head, "But the girl next door told me her German shepherd was always tied up in the yard. She won't lie. She also likes my big white cat very much."

Summer didn't know what to say.

Douglas was the most rebellious, but also the most sensitive at his age.

He could keenly sense the changes in the relationship between his family members.

According to Douglas, apart from Adams, whose secrets had been exposed, his parent wasn't as harmonious as it seemed to be.

Something was definitely wrong with their family.
