Summer held Leonardo's hand. Leonardo turned to look at her. He looked cold but sounded gentle,
"What's wrong?"
Leonardo was indeed different now and was somewhat like who he had been three years ago.
Even if he was in a bad mood, he would restrain his emotions when facing Summer.
Summer asked him, "What are you going to do?"
Leonardo cooperated with her footsteps and slowed down. He smiled, "Nothing. He has stayed in the
old mansion for three years. I'm going to take him out to meet people."
Summer understood that Leonardo was going to punish Michael.
The more Michael didn't want to do something, the more Leonardo wanted to force him to do it.
Leonardo had a strong executive ability.
On the second day after meeting Michael, Leonardo had people spread the news that he was going to
hold a dinner party.
The venue for the dinner party was in a seven-star hotel, where Michael used to go frequently.
And the banquet he had asked Summer to attend happened to be in this hotel.
Tim asked with a worried expression, "Mr. Emerson, why do you suddenly want to hold a dinner party?"
Tim remembered that last time when Leonardo had prepared a banquet, Leonardo had left to look for
Summer before the party even begun.
Tim, however, had to stay behind to deal with the guests. He had been busy during that period as he
had had to take care of the banquet as well as the company's affairs. He had been unwilling to recall
the memory of those days.
Now that Leonardo had decided to hold a dinner again, Tim wanted to make sure first. But Leonardo
just squinted at Tim.
Tim knew that he shouldn't have asked this question, so he said as his expression changed, "I just..."
Leonardo sneered and interrupted him, "Michael has stayed in the old mansion for three years. As his
only son, I will host a banquet for him. What do you think?"
Leonardo emphasized the word "only". He said it slowly to make it sound even more sinister.
Tim shivered, "I think it's... not bad."
"Go ahead." Leonardo raised his hand and signaled for him to do it.
Tim turned around and walked out. He kept wiping the cold sweat off his forehead as he walked.
Mr. Emerson sometimes would recover some of his memories and became strange and unfathomable.
After Tim got out, Leonardo leaned back in his chair and kept still for a long time.
The dinner party was scheduled on Friday night.
Summer went out to talk about the script with Eliza. After that, Eliza mentioned about the party.
Eliza asked her, "Have you got the invitation?"
Summer shook her head, "No."
Summer had vaguely got Leonardo's thoughts that day, but she didn’t in detail.
Leonardo had been busy with his work and she the script. Although they had been always together,
they hadn't talked much about it.
Summer and Leonardo had got along very well. After that day, she thought that Leonardo would
demand to move into the same room with her, but Leonardo did not.
Summer was confused. She knew nothing about what Leonardo had thought of her or his recent plan.
Now that Summer hadn't asked, Leonardo wouldn't talk with her about it.
Leonardo had not taken the initiative to tell her things like that. And he would never do that. Thinking of
this, Summer sighed helplessly.
However, Eliza mistakenly thought that Summer was disappointed because she was not invited.
Eliza blinked at her and smiled, "It doesn't matter. I've been invited and you can go with me!"
Summer went speechless. Did she look like that she wanted to go?
No, she didn't really.
"Do I look like I really want to go there?" Summer looked at Eliza, somewhat angry.
Eliza nodded, "Yes."
Summer smiled, "Whatever you say."
They had discussed a lot about the script, and Summer was ready to go home.
Once Summer left Eliza's studio, she checked her phone and it was just 4 p.m.
She asked Leonardo to bring Rosie with him to the company in the morning, but Rosie found it boring
there. Now that she was free now, she could go and take Rosie home.
Summer sat in the car and called Leonardo. As soon as the call got through, Rosie's sweet voice
sounded, "Mom!"
Summer unconsciously smiled, "Yes, sweetie."
Rosie's couldn't yet focus her attention. She greeted Summer in the phone and turned to do something
else.
Then Summer heard Leonardo's reprimand to Rosie, "Pick it up."
Then Rosie said unhappily, "No..."
There was a brief silence. Summer guessed Leonardo might be threatening Rosie with his cold gaze
again, as Summer then heard Rosie say compromisingly, "Alright."
"What's the matter?" Summer had been listening carefully until Leonardo spoke.
Summer was surprised and said, "I've finished my work. I can go there and pick up Rosie."
"OK." Then Leonardo hung up the phone.
When Summer drove over, Tim was waiting outside with Rosie.
Tim was a very cautious person. He took Rosie to stand in an inconspicuous place waiting for Summer.
When Rosie saw Summer, she ran over, calling out, "Mom!"
Summer caught her and looked up at Tim.
"Mrs. Emerson," Tim approached her and greeted. Then, he took out an invitation letter for the dinner
and handed it to Summer. "Mrs. Emerson, May I ask you a favor?"
Summer glanced at the invitation letter in his hand and asked, "What is it?"
"Please give this invitation letter to Mr. Stanley," Tim said sincerely, as if he was really asking Summer
for a favor. Summer knew it clearly that it was instructed by Leonardo.
Tim was a considerate person and was very respectful to both Summer and Leonardo. Besides, he
was efficient and this was supposed to be an easy job to him. So, if it weren't for Leonardo's instruction,
Tim wouldn't have asked her for help.
In other words, without Leonardo's instruction, Tim would not dare to ask her to do such a trivial
thing.
