Leonardo's words shocked Summer for a while before she reacted.
After a while, Summer asked with a puzzled look, "You said that you didn't take my child away, didn't
you?"
When she questioned Leonardo that day, he denied it.
Summer wavered and suspected that she guessed wrong.
However, she really couldn't think of anyone else who would take her child away from her.
Summer had some doubts, but she didn't expect Leonardo to admit it frankly and even threatened her.
Leonardo still wore a poker face, and his eyes were cold. "Of course, it's me. Who else would take her
away?"
Summer pursed her lips and squeezed out some words, "You wicked man!"
"So, you'd better obey my order now." As Leonardo spoke, he reached out to touch Summer's face.
Summer turned around and dodged his hand, her eyes filling with disgust.
Leonardo threatened Summer with the child and it worked out.
In the following months, Summer neither cried nor made any trouble. She took good care of herself.
Apart from that, she did not speak to Leonardo.
Although Leonardo was angry at Summer's coldness, he had never lost his temper with her.
Even Summer admired Leonardo's patience.
Early in the morning, when they were having breakfast, Leonardo said suddenly, "We will return to
Hoover City tomorrow night."
Hearing this, Summer finally spoke to him for the first time this month, "Can I see my child when I go
back?"
Leonardo did not say yes or no, and glanced at her, "You haven't returned yet, but do you want to strike
a bargain with me?"
Summer shouted angrily, "Leonardo!"
Leonardo looked down and slowly cut the egg on the plate. His voice did not contain any emotion, "You
are not entitled to negotiate with me."
Summer clenched her hands and stared at Leonardo, unable to utter a single word.
The next night, Summer and Leonardo boarded the plane back to Hoover City.
The plane landed at the International Airport of Hoover City in the early morning.
Neither of them informed anyone of their return, but they saw Carl and Jessica at the airport.
Jessica had been a little busy in the past six months, so she was tired but looked very energetic.
"Summer, welcome back." Jessica walked over and gave Summer a hug.
Summer reached out and patted her back.
After letting go of Summer, Jessica carefully looked at Summer from head to foot and said, "Why do
you look so thin?"
Jessica remembered that she looked quite good when they made a video call before Summer gave
birth.
Leonardo had sent someone to take care of Summer after she gave birth. How could she become
thinner and thinner?
Summer smiled and asked, "Is that so?"
Jessica also noticed that Summer's expression was somewhat strange. Summer was a new parent but
no joy was shown between her eyebrows.
Jessica remembered that Summer refused her request to see the baby through video chatting when
she called Summer recently.
"What happened? Where's the baby?" Jessica said as she looked around.
Behind Leonardo and Summer was a group of bodyguards, but their child was not there.
No one answered Jessica's question, as no one could answer the question.
Leonardo frowned slightly and reached out to pull Summer's hand as he walked out.
Summer resisted and wanted to break free, but Leonardo had great strength. The more she struggled,
the tighter he clenched her hand. The strength was so great that he almost broke the bones of her
hand.
She was not let go until she was thrown into the car by Leonardo.
"Leonardo, why not tell Jessica that you took the child away? Are you feeling guilty?" Summer said
coldly as soon as she got into the car.
Leonardo was completely unaffected by her, and his expression was indifferent.
If it weren't for the fact that they were sitting next to each other, Summer would have suspected that
Leonardo might not have heard her.
No matter what she said, Leonardo did nothing.
When she was tired of talking, she quieted down.
The car was driven into a senior residential area in Hoover City.
People who were living here were either rich or powerful.
Summer wanted to see her child, so she could only accept Leonardo's arrangement.
He took her to his apartment.
Not much furniture was in the apartment. Apart from sofas and television, there wasn't even a dining
table. The room looked deserted.
"Sit." Leonardo pressed Summer on the sofa and turned around to pour a glass of water for her.
Summer took the water and asked, "When are you going to let me see my child?"
Leonardo stared at her for a long time before he said, "If I don't let you see your child for the rest of my
life, you will talk to me like this forever?"
"Yes." Summer answered without any hesitation.
Leonardo's face instantly became sulky.
Summer considered their child more important than him?
Leonardo sneered, "Then you can't see her anymore."
Although Leonardo was kind sometimes, he was a ruthless man most of the time. Summer did not
doubt whether he was serious or not.
"Leonardo, don't do this. Shall we have a good talk?"
Summer was really scared. Even her voice became hoarse. "I'm back now. I won't escape anymore.
My child is too young and only a month old. She should have grown up beside me. Let me see her and
take care of her, okay?"
As she spoke, she choked with sobs and her eyes turned red.
Summer felt extremely sad.
As long as she thought of her one-month-old daughter whose whereabouts were unknown, Summer
would feel very sorrowful.
Would the ones that took her baby away take good care of her daughter like parents?
Would her daughter be disliked and neglected because her daughter always cried?
Everyone said that mothers were strong.
However, they were fragile sometimes.
Summer could not help but feel sad when she thought of her child.
Her daughter was so young...
Seeing Leonardo was silent, Summer reached out to hold his hand and pleaded, "Please?"
Her red eyes were filled with tears which seemed to overflow in the next moment.
Leonardo only took a glance before turning to look elsewhere.
His throat slid with difficulty, but he stopped himself from saying the words that came to his lips.
He even hoped that he had used such a dirty trick to force Summer back.
At the very least, when Summer was so sad, he could return the child to her and made her happy.
But now, he could only feel her sadness.
