Summer's indifference embarrassed Karen somewhat.
She withdrew her hand then and turned to look at Jerome.
Jerome smiled warmly at her. And he looked like a man of the right kidney.
Karen became even more resolute, "Summer, let's get out here, then we talk about it, OK?"
Summer turned around and walked out.
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Jerome strode over to Summer to talk to her.
However, he was stopped by a bodyguard before he could get close to Summer.
Jerome's expression changed slightly, but then he returned to normal. He said jokingly, "I just want to
talk to you. He is so vigilant. Does Leonardo treat you as a prisoner?"
He sounded like he was joking with a close friend.
However, Summer knew that she wasn't that good with him. Naturally, she didn't think that this was a
joke.
Was he intentionally saying this to play her off against Leonardo?
She didn't know what was wrong with Jerome. Why did he have to put her on the spot?
"Mr. Jerome, you must have a bad understanding when you were studying, weren’t you? Otherwise,
how could you not even know what a bodyguard means? Do you want me to explain to you what a
bodyguard means?"
Summer looked at Jerome mockingly.
Jerome felt that the way Summer looked at him was like looking at a clown.
"Of course, I know what a bodyguard means. But I just want to get closer to talk to you. How can he
stop me? Isn’t this excessive?" Jerome said stubbornly because he felt ashamed.
But Summer replied in an indifferent tone, "It's not excessive. After all, we aren’t close friends."
Suddenly, Karen said, "Summer, don't talk to Jerome like this. I know that there is a misunderstanding
between you and him. For the sake of that he had taken care of me during this period, can you make
peace with him?"
‘Had taken care of you?’
‘Did he do that out of sincerity?’
Summer did not know how Jerome met Karen and why he took care of her.
But she knew seldom people would do others’ a favor if he had no attempt.
Summer didn’t believe that Jerome had taken care of Karen because he had been together with Vicky
before.
"There's no misunderstanding between us. Make peace for what?" Summer pretended to be puzzled
as she looked at Karen, "Vicky is your daughter. And she had an engagement with Mr. Jerome before.
Naturally, a kind person like Mr. Jerome will take care of you when he sees you are in trouble."
Karen was speaking up for Jerome. It seemed that Jerome had taken good care of her and coaxed her
well these past few days.
"Summer..."
"I’m busy, and I have to go." Summer pretended to look at the time and said, "I'm sure that Mr. Jerome,
who is so kind-hearted, won't mind sending his ex-fiancée's mother home, will he?"
Jerome had taken care of Karen intending to get close to Summer.
He had a better understanding of the Jarretts', so he naturally knew that Summer treated her mother
very well.
But now, it wasn’t the case.
After Summer said that, Jerome only had to reply, "Of course, it's my pleasure."
"OK, see you."
Summer did not see Karen before she turned around and got into the car.
Karen stood still with a panicked expression. She helplessly watched Summer's car drive away and
then turned to be at a loss.
Summer was too cold to her.
As soon as Summer left, Jerome turned a little gloomy, "Ms. Karen, I'll take you home."
Seeing that Jerome wasn’t happy, Karen said, "Please don't mind. Summer is upset because she is
pregnant, so..."
Her words irritated Jerome. He fiercely grabbed Karen's arm and asked ice-coldly, "What are you
saying? Say it again!"
Karen was frightened by Jerome, "Jerome, what's wrong with you?"
These past few days, Jerome was very gentle to her. And he even took her out shopping.
Karen's sudden change frightened her.
Immediately, Jerome changed again. He turned to be gentle as previous and asked softly, "You said
she was pregnant?"
"Yes."
Karen heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he had returned to normal.
‘Was she wrong about Jerome just now?’
"I see. I'll send you home now." Jerome looked down. His voice was still very soft, but it sounded
somewhat weird.
...
To Summer, this incident was only a small episode. After that, she forgot about it.
As the New Year approached, Summer guessed that Leonardo might take her back to his old house for
the New Year.
After all, this was the first New Year's Eve for Leonardo to take over the Emerson Group. And he
should return to his old house and celebrated the New Year with his family.
Leonardo had the right to do whatever he wanted.
But in the end, Summer might be blamed for Leonardo’s recklessness.
Two days before the Emerson Group gave the holiday, Summer had started preparing gifts that they
would bring back to the old house.
Everything was ready there. But Summer wanted to bring the things that she was used to.
At night, Leonardo came back a little late.
Summer had finished washing up. But she wanted to write for a while before she went to bed.
Leonardo walked in with his suit jacket in his arms. His hair was a little messy, and he looked
exceptionally tired.
"Hi, honey."
Summer looked up at him.
It was cold. Even if the heating was on, Summer was still wearing fluffy pajamas. Thus, she looked very
warm.
After she was pregnant, she stayed at home all day. And the servants took good care of her, and her
schedule was very regular. As a result, she looked very much better than before under the lights.
She sat in the corner of the sofa and straightened her legs. The computer was resting on her legs. Her
hair was streaming behind her and her skin was very fair. Her cat-like eyes were focused on him,
extremely brilliant and attractive.
Casually, Leonardo threw away the jacket in his hand and walked over to her. He bent down and threw
away the computer on her lap. Then he sat down beside her and held her in his arms.
Summer was a bit scared when he threw away her computer, "Be gentle..."
Leonardo seemed to be unsatisfied with her because Summer cared about the computer then. So, he
looked down at her and kissed her for a while.
But when they parted, Leonardo whispered, "Auntie is back."
