Summer raised her head with a forced smile.
This expression was real, not faked.
The possibility of Rosie being taken away by Michael excluded any laugh.
Michael said gently, "Go and finish your cooking. I just have something to talk with Leonardo. He was
too busy in the company, and rarely seen in the old house, so I can only come here to find him..."
Summer quickly detected the loophole in Michael's words.
Since Michael knew that Leonardo was busy in the company, he would naturally know that Leonardo
was still in the company right now.
Michael didn't even have the keys to Leonardo's house, so why did he come here now?
To stand at the door and wait for Leonardo?
No, he was clearly here to catch Leonardo.
If Leonardo came back early today, then Michael would definitely know that Summer had an
appointment with Leonardo.
"Let me get you a glass of water first." As she spoke, Summer closed the door and turned to fetch
water for Michael.
Michael walked to the sofa and sat down without saying a word.
Summer poured a glass of water for him and was about to return to the kitchen, Michael suddenly said,
"I forgot to bring my phone with me. Can you lend me your phone for a call?"
Summer's heart skipped a beat.
She was planning to get in the kitchen to text Leonardo, telling him not to come back for the time being.
Michael was really an old cunning fox.
Summer turned to look at him and said, "Sure."
Fortunately, Summer had the habit of locking the frequently used software on her phone.
"Let me unlock it first." As she spoke, she deleted the record of recent contacts.
Michael was sitting while Summer was standing in front of him, his view couldn't reach her phone.
After that, she handed the phone to Michael.
Michael took the phone and made a call, but no one answered.
He looked at Summer apologetically, "Can you put your phone here in case he should call me back
later?"
Michael's intention was now crystal clear.
He wanted to kill any chance of her informing Leonardo.
Summer's expression turned a little unnatural, "Alright."
"Thank you." In front of her, Michael locked the phone and placed it on the end table.
Summer stared at the phone for a few seconds before turning around and entering the kitchen.
She cut the vegetables absent-mindedly, thinking that Leonardo would be smart enough to notice
Michael's car when he came back.
Michael could declare that he didn't bring his phone, but he must have come here by car.
She did the cooking very slowly, and finished it at nine o'clock, an hour later than usual.
And Leonardo didn't return.
Summer was relieved.
With dinner all prepared, she walked out of the kitchen and into the hall.
"Mr. Michael, I'm leaving." She walked over to Michael and said.
She cooked for two hours, and Michael sat in the hall for two hours.
After two hours of silence, his voice was slightly hoarse, "You're not waiting for Leonardo?"
"When he comes back, he will drive me out anyway." Summer lowered her head to conceal the
emotions in her eyes from Michael.
With her saying that, Michael didn't stop her anymore.
Michael handed her the phone, "Alright, go ahead."
Summer took a long breath after she got out of the apartment and into the elevator.
She and Leonardo were still too careless.
However, Michael was also not comfortable in his heart.
He tried to sound her out with Rosie, but didn't expect her to use it as an excuse to approach
Leonardo.
Summer returned into the car and took out her phone to call Leonardo.
She made several calls but on one answered.
Unease fermented inside her.
Leonardo said he would come back for dinner. Normally, he would return before 8 o'clock. She had
thought that Leonardo hadn't returned home because he knew that Michael was here.
But now he didn't answer her call.
What happened?
Summer could only call Tim.
Coincidentally, he didn't answer, either.
Summer drove to the Emerson Group.
She waited at the gate for a while, but did not see Leonardo come out.
Where did he go?
Summer checked the time. It was almost eleven o'clock.
It had been a long while since she called him. Normally he would have called her back.
At this time, her phone rang.
She found that it was from Jessica.
Jessica was very busy lately. Summer had not seen her for a few days.
Summer answered the phone, "Jessica."
"Summer, where are you?" Jessica's words brimmed with anger.
Summer sensed it and said, "I'm outside the Emerson Group. What's wrong?"
"Come to the Golden Cauldron Club and take a look yourself. I'll wait for you here."
Jessica hung up the phone.
Summer was a little puzzled. What made her so angry?
Summer drove to the Golden Cauldron Club, and saw Jessica sitting on the sofa once she entered the
hall.
She walked over, "Jessica?"
Jessica raised his head and gave her a look, then put away her phone and pulled Summer towards the
elevator. "Go and see what that bastard Leonardo is doing!"
"Leonardo?" The name lit up Summer's eyes, "Did you see him?"
Jessica smiled coldly, "Yes."
Summer was relieved. It was great that he was fine.
Jessica led Summer directly to a private room by elevator.
As soon as they entered, all the eyes were focused upon them.
Summer immediately saw Leonardo sitting in the middle of the crowd, as well as ... a strange woman
sitting beside him.
Summer was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Jessica.
Jessica raised her eyebrows at Summer and signaled to her to go over by herself.
A familiar voice said, "Jessica, you brought Summer here."
Summer looked over and saw Carl was also here.
Not only Carl, but also Tim and Kate.
No wonder Leonardo and Tim didn't answer her phone.
Tim glanced at Summer and looked away, a little guilty.
Kate stared at her in surprise for a few seconds before turning her gaze away and continue talking to
the woman sitting beside Leonardo.
Only Carl stood up and walked towards her, "Come and sit here, Summer, don’t stand there."
Compared to Jessica's anger, Summer seemed much calmer.
She pulled Jessica and said, "Let's go and sit down."
"Summer." Jessica looked at her with disapproval.
Summer shook her head.
Jessica raised her eyebrows at Summer and signaled to her to go over by herself.
