Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 240

Finally, they didn't watch a movie but had a long chat.

Douglas lived abroad for a long time and had no friends at home. These words had probably been held in his heart for too long, and he had none to talk to.

Summer was willing to listen to him, so, he told everything in his head to her.

From what Douglas said, Summer could vaguely tell some clues.

Douglas' parents seemed to be in harmony, and Adams seemed to be gentle but abused little animals. These would indeed have some impact on Douglas.

When Summer came out of the projection room, she happened to meet Leonardo who was going for her.

Summer walked ahead, followed by Douglas.

Leonardo's face turned gloomy, and he was a little angry with Douglas that he asked Summer to watch a movie.

Summer was a little tired from dealing with the Emerson Family before. She said that she wanted to go to rest, but she was invited to watch movies by Douglas. Of course, Leonardo didn't take a good poke at Douglas.

Douglas pursed his lips and moved behind Summer.

It's been so long since he saw Leonardo, but his cousin's gaze was still so aggressive.

Douglas was a little scared.

Summer looked at Leonardo with disapproval and turned to Douglas, "Douglas, go back to your room and have a rest."

"Alright." Douglas felt as if he had been granted an amnesty, and he ran very fast way.

Leonardo pouted and said coldly, "Summer, you're carrying a baby now. You don't need to pamper Douglas. He's just a naughty child..."

"Is somebody speaking? Oh, no." Summer said to herself. Then she covered her ears with her hands and walked towards the bedroom.

Leonardo became furious instantly and he shouted with anger, "Summer!"

Summer turned around and reached out to caress her belly. She blinked and said seriously, "Don't be so loud, you're scaring our baby."

Leonardo took a deep breath and told himself not to argue with his stupid wife.

Summer couldn't help but laugh when she saw him suppress his anger. But after thinking that Leonardo was doing it for her own good, Summer went back and pulled his arm and said softly, "Alright, don't be angry. Let’s go back to our room and rest."

To Summer, Leonardo's anger both came and disappeared quickly.

After they returned to the bedroom, Summer was pressed down on the bed by Leonardo. He covered her with a quilt and ordered, "Sleep now."

Summer and Douglas chatted for long, and she did not feel sleepy, "I have something to tell you."

"Let's talk after you have a rest." Leonardo ignored her expectant gaze.

But Summer continued directly, "Are Douglas' parents in a good relationship?"

"In grandpa's eyes, they love each other very much and are an ideal couple." After Leonardo finished speaking, he laughed self-mockingly. In his grandpa's eyes, his parents did love each other.

"But Douglas told me that he felt that his parents didn’t love each other and that they seemed to be separated..." Summer sighed with emotion, "If we are together for long, will we also become that kind of couple?"

Leonardo replied with certainty, "No."

"Sure?" Summer was moved.

But soon, Summer heard Leonardo say mischievously, "Are you thinking about having an affair with other men? You conceived my child, you know that?"

Summer felt somewhat dangerous.

She sneaked a glance at Leonardo and found him squinting at her as if he was going to punish her if he was unsatisfied with Summer's answer.

Summer knew how to please him.

She grabbed Leonardo's hand and smiled brightly, "Of course no! No man is prettier and richer than you, don't you know?"

"Are you saying that if a man looks better and is richer than me, you will choose him and abandon me?" After seeing the expression on Leonardo's face, Summer felt even more dangerous.

She felt that her answer was satisfactory, but Leonardo did not feel so.

'In the entire Hoover City, is any man better looking and wealthier than Leonardo.'

'Certainly no!'

She was praising him...

However, Leonardo's focus was completely different from what Summer wanted to express.

Sure enough, Summer didn't think alike as Leonardo, a clever man did.

"No!" Summer raised her voice and tried her best to make herself sound more sincere.

Leonardo's expression softened slightly up, but he did not say anything.

Summer pulled his hand to her lips and lightly kissed the back of his hand, "I'm serious."

She felt Leonardo's hand stiffen for a moment. And when she looked up at him, she noticed that Leonardo was a little uncomfortable.

Originally, Leonardo was sitting beside the bed. The moment Summer looked at him, he immediately looked away and said, "Go to sleep. I still have to work."

Summer was stunned. Was he ... shy?

Leonardo was quite slippery when he flirted with Summer. She just kissed the back of his hand affectionately, and he was shy and awkward, wasn't he?

Summer wanted to do it again, but Leonardo seemed to have anticipated that. He quickly pulled his hand away and said, "I have to go."

Leonardo just left the bedroom. Before he could close the bedroom door, he heard Summer's unrestrained laughter.

Leonardo's face turned red and then gloomy as he shut the door hard. He was awkward and did not notice Ava walking towards him carrying something in her hands.

Thus, he collided with Ava.

There was a cup of soup on Ava's tray. She prepared for Summer.

But all of that soup was poured on Leonardo.

Leonardo reacted extremely quickly. And he subconsciously lifted the hand that Summer had kissed to avoid being drenched in the soup.

When Ava saw him raise that hand, she asked with concern, "Mr. Emerson, does your hand get hurt?"

"No."

Ava was worried, "Let me have a check, OK?"

"No, thank you." Leonardo took a step back and simply used his other hand to grab the hand that Summer had kissed and walked sideways around Ava.

Ava looked at Leonardo's back and muttered, "Why does he hold that hand like that? It must be injured..."

...

Thus, when Summer woke up, she heard that Leonardo's hand was injured.

Summer tensed up, "How did he get hurt?"

Wasn't Leonardo good before she slept? Why did his hand get hurt the moment she woke up?

"Where is he?" Summer asked.

A servant said respectfully, "Mr. Emerson is still in the study and hasn't come out yet."

Summer was a little dumbfounded when she heard what that servant said. If he had been in the study all the time, how did he get hurt?

Summer was puzzled and went to Leonardo's study.

Standing at the door of the study, Summer knocked on the door and pushed it open, "Your hand was hurt? Let me see."

Leonardo was working at his desk. And he was a little surprised after he heard that, but he soon understood what was going on.

He soon became unnatural, and said a little annoyed, "No, I'm fine. You go out now for I still have to work."
