Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 373

Leonardo, like an outsider, looked at Kate arguing weakly with his cold eyes.

Under his cold gaze, Kate cut off her further argument abruptly.

"Finished?" Leonardo taunted her.

Kate moved her lips but couldn't say a word.

Leonardo sneered, turned around and went upstairs to the study.

He closed the door and paced to the French window.

Outside the window was a cold rainy night. The street lights in the courtyard were dim. The trees and their dark shadows were overlapping.

It was still raining and even windy.

Leonardo stared out of the window for a while, and the scene of Summer and Stanley standing together suddenly flashed through his mind.

That scene was extremely ... unpleasant.

After Summer returned home with Stanley, she went to take a hot bath and changed her clothes.

When she came out, Stanley had already cooked a bowl of ginger soup for her.

Stanley brought the ginger soup to her and said, "It might be a little spicy."

Summer picked up the spoon and something flashed through her mind.

It seemed that someone had cooked her ginger soup before as well...

Her head felt a dull pain and the spoon in her hand fell back into the bowl with a clear sound. She closed her eyes and covered her forehead with both hands.

"What's wrong?" Stanley saw her reaction and hurriedly leaned over to check her, his tone filled with concern.

Summer's voice was a little weak. "My head aches..."

Stanley's eyes flashed as he heard this. "Did you remember something?"

"No..."

The dull pain went as quickly as it came. She shook her head blankly and turned to ask Stanley, "Have you ever cooked ginger soup for me before?"

Stanley said with great interest, "You guess."

Summer couldn't help laughing. Stanley had always been cautious and thoughtful. He rarely joked with her like this.

She smiled and said, "You know I don't remember anything."

"None of that matters." After saying that, Stanley urged her, "Drink it now."

Summer finished her ginger soup. Because it was too late, she cooked two bowls of noodles in haste as dinner for both of them.

During dinner, Summer thought of Leonardo and Rosie and said casually, "Mr. Emerson looks very difficult to approach, but he treats his daughter well."

Stanley's hand that was holding the chopsticks paused for a moment. He kept his countenance and asked, "What do you think of him?"

"I can tell that he loves his daughter very much, but his temper is a bit strange," Summer said as she nodded in agreement with her words.

"I see," Stanley replied and said nothing more.

Summer raised her eyes and saw Stanley in deep thought.

"What happened?" Summer rarely saw Stanley like this. She asked, "Is there anything wrong? Anything wrong with your work?"

"No." Stanley smiled and shook his head. "Let's eat."

Summer continued to eat noodles. Stanley's eyes darkened as he lost in a deeper thought.

Based on what had happened today, both of them did not recognize each other.

The next day.

Leonardo went to the Emerson Group in a car as usual.

However, when he was halfway through, Leonardo instructed the driver, "Go to Tip Top Media."

Because of what happened yesterday, the driver did not dare to ask more but only replied, "Yes."

Not long after, the car stopped across the road from the entrance of Tip Top Media.

Leonardo glanced at the door of Tip Top Media Company and instructed the driver, "Go over. If you see Carl, tell him I want to see him."

The driver got out of the car and left.

Not long after, he brought Carl over.

Behind Carl was another man.

The man kept a straight face and looked like a cautious and reliable person.

Carl still couldn't believe it when he saw Leonardo in person. "Leonardo, are you looking for me?"

He was chased away by Leonardo directly every time he went to Leonardo before. He had never thought that one day, Leonardo would actually take the initiative to come to him.

Reality would always teach people lessons to lower their own requirements constantly.

In the past, he felt Leonardo heartless for not having meals with him. But now, it was already so difficult even to meet him...

Leonardo withdrew his gaze and replied, "Yes."

Carl pulled open the car door and sat in. He turned around to look at Tim, paused for a moment, and said to Leonardo, "Can Tim get in as well? You probably don't remember him. He is your former special assistant and has worked for you for many years."

After the incident happened to Leonardo, Kate dismissed Tim.

Tim went to Tip Top Media Company to work for Carl after he was dismissed,.

Leonardo looked at the man with a straight face again and nodded invisibly.

Carl, who had always been rejected by Leonardo, felt somewhat flattered. He said in disbelief, "Have you ... regained your memories?"

Leonardo said coldly, "No."

"Then why do you want to see me?" Carl's tone was cautious. He felt like a concubine swept aside summoned by the emperor again.

Leonardo asked him directly, "We used to be very close?"

"Yes." Carl sighed. "I was the only one who could bear your bad temper and was willing to be friends with you. Well..."

Halfway through his speech, he felt that the air pressure and temperature in the car seemed to be decreasing.

Although Leonardo had lost his memories, his temper hadn't changed at all.

He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let me put it in this way. Other than me, Tim was the closest one to you. After all, he used to work for you for many years."

After saying that, he pushed Tim, who was sitting beside him. "Tim, am I right?"

This was the first time Tim had seen Leonardo in person ever since he was dismissed by Kate. In the past three years, he only saw Leonardo on the news.

After all, they had a great difference in status. There was no chance for them to meet, and they had never encountered each other by chance.

Thinking of these things, Tim nodded with mixed feelings. "Yes."

Leonardo's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them. Then, he took out a business card and handed it to Tim. "I need a special assistant now. Give me a call after you think about it."

Carl widened his eyes in confusion. Wasn't Leonardo here to meet him specifically today?

Why was he giving Tim a business card now?

Tim felt extremely flattered and took the card.

Leonardo withdrew his hand and said indifferently, "I'm going to the company now."

This was an expulsion order for Carl and Tim to get out of the car.

Carl and Tim looked at each other at a loss. Although they didn't understand what Leonardo meant, they got out of the car obediently due to their habits of obedience to Leonardo deep in the bones.

Leonardo looked at the back of the two through the car window and a thought flashed through his mind.

Three years ago, when he woke up, only Kate was beside him. With all the memories lost, he chose to believe in Kate, who was related to him by blood without a doubt.

However, he felt Kate was not that trustworthy because of what had happened recently.
