Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 288

The customers who passed by couldn't help casting curious gazes at Leonardo and Summer, mixed with a trace of envy.

Summer and Leonardo didn't care about other people's gazes at all.

One of them picked up the ingredients, and the other pushed the shopping cart.

However, the harmonious atmosphere was broken by a voice.

"Summer?"

The man's voice was mixed with a trace of surprise.

Summer turned around and saw a familiar face.

After Summer saw the man's appearance clearly, she unconsciously raised her voice, "Adams?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time. It's my pleasure you still remember me." Adams walked towards Summer, his tone as gentle as ever.

Summer had overheard Leonardo's conversation with Tim, so she didn't feel good when she saw Adams.

Her impression of Adams was already bad enough, but now, because of the child, she had no good impression of Adams at all.

Summer only sneered. Before she could speak, Leonardo, who was pushing the shopping cart behind her, had already stepped forward to block her path, keeping Adams from seeing her.

"Leonardo is also here. What are you doing here?" When Adams saw Leonardo, the smile on his face deepened.

Without saying a word, Leonardo pulled Summer away and was about to leave.

"Adams, I've been looking for you for a long time."

Summer, who was about to leave, couldn't help stopping when she heard the voice.

She turned around and saw Vicky was nestling beside Adams.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, Vicky also looked towards her.

When Vicky saw Summer, her eyes widened. "Summer? Aren't you dead?"

Summer curled her lips and said, "I've disappointed you."

It was really unlucky to meet Adams and Vicky.

Adams pretended to be angry and glared at Vicky, "What are you saying? Those media are always talking nonsense."

"That's right. It's nothing at all. It's not rare to escape punishment through fake death. I was sent to prison last time, but you brought me out." Vicky smiled sweetly.

Summer clenched her hands tightly and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

At this time, Leonardo, who had been silent all this while, said faintly, "Adams, take care of your own woman."

Vicky hurriedly hid behind Adams and said coquettishly, "Adams, I'm so scared."

Leonardo sneered, his brows filled with gloomy, "Do you know how much it costs to kill someone now? You can buy a person's life for about a million yuan, isn't it very cheap?"

Hearing Leonardo's words, Vicky was stunned for a moment. Her eyes flashed with fear and she hid behind Adams and did not dare to speak again.

She still remembered how Leonardo had dealt with her back then.

She knew how perverted Leonardo was. If he said that, he might really pay someone to kill her.

What Leonardo had done to her had already taken root in her heart, making her feel scared when she thought about it.

Seeing that Vicky was so afraid, Leonardo sneered and pulled Summer away.

On the way back, they were silent.

Summer was thinking about the conversation between Leonardo and Tim.

If her daughter was really taken away by Adams, and Adams was still hooking with Vicky, and Vicky still hated her so much...

Summer's face immediately turned pale.

On the other side, Leonardo had been paying close attention to Summer, so it was easy for him to find that something was wrong with Summer.

Leonardo stopped the car by the side of the road and asked her, "What's wrong? You don't look good."

"Tell me, did Adams take the child away?" Summer suddenly turned her head and reached out to grab the corner of his clothes as if she was grabbing the last straw.

Leonardo's expression froze. It turned out that she had heard his conversation with Tim.

He held Summer's hand and said confidently, "It's not Adams."

Summer shook her head and said, "Don't lie to me anymore. I want to hear the truth. I can bear anything now."

At first, she thought that Leonardo had taken the child away.

After returning to Hoover City, she realized that things weren't that simple. She heard him mention Adams.

Now that she was prepared for the worst, she could not bear to be tricked by him again.

"I'm not lying to you." Leonardo explained seriously to her, "Tim only found out that the funds written to the foreign country were under Adams’ account, but that doesn't mean that he did this. He doesn't have the ability to do so."

It was absolutely impossible for Adams to steal his child from the operating room without anyone noticing.

Summer nodded.

She believed Leonardo's words.

Moreover, no matter how capable Adams was, it was impossible for him to defeat Leonardo.

She was completely convinced of this.

"Who is that?" Summer asked him faintly, "Then who stole my child?"

Leonardo could not answer this question.

It had already been a month, and he found nothing.

However, the information he gathered had targeted Adams.

Adams was also considered half a member of the Emersons.

The Emersons were involved so long as Adams was involved in the clues.

In the past half a year, in order to thoroughly investigate what happened to his mother back then, he had made a big move.

While he was investigating, someone was secretly obstructing him.

If the Emersons also did this, then it must have something to do with his mother back then.

Whether they were warning him or threatening him was still unclear.

Summer was not an idiot, and she quickly thought of the same thing as him.

Summer looked at Leonardo for a while and said faintly, "Is it related to the Emersons?"

Back then, the death of Leonardo's mother had something to do with the Emersons. Half a year ago, Leonardo's grandfather fell down the stairs, and she was framed as the person who pushed him down the stairs.

Summer asked in disbelief, "What exactly do they want to do?"

"No matter what they want to do, I will not let them succeed. I will bring our child back." Leonardo looked down at her with a firm expression.

Summer loosened the corner of his clothes, "That's not your own business. That's also my child."

They returned to the apartment. Summer was not in the mood for cooking. In the end, they had someone deliver food from the Golden Cauldron Club.

But they didn't eat much.

It was already afternoon after meal.

Summer didn't bring much luggage, so she simply tidied up and called Leonardo in.

Seeing her suitcase, Leonardo's expression dimmed. "What are you going to do?"
