Rosie showed great curiosity towards what Summer said. She asked, "Did he eat the cigarettes?"
She knew what cigarettes were, but she was surprised that they could make one full.
Summer smiled and said, "That's your dad's unique skill. Anyway, he is full."
Rosie nodded in confusion.
When Summer and Rosie returned from dinner, the house was exceptionally quiet.
Summer turned on the light and looked around. Finally, she looked at Leonardo's door.
Without pushing the door open, she knew Leonardo was not here anymore, because there was no
Leonardo's aura anywhere. She could not tell what kind of feeling it was. In any case, she could feel
that Leonardo was here or not as soon as she entered the house. When she entered, she paid special
attention to the doorway.
The ashes and cigarette butts were gone. Summer was surprised that Leonardo would clean up the
door way. She imagined Leonardo stooping down to sweep the floor with a broom.
She had never seen Leonardo sweep the floor, so she could only imagine it.
However, after entering the house, Rosie ran to the door of Leonardo's room as she shouted, "Daddy?"
She patted the door a few times, but no one answered her. She then turned her head to look at
Summer doubtfully. "Mom, Dad doesn't open the door."
She thought Leonardo was still in the room. "Probably he fell asleep." Summer walked over and took
Rosie to the bathroom. "You should go to bed early, too."
It was getting late. Rosie looked a little sleepy when she was having dinner.
When Summer was bathing Rosie, Rosie dozed off like a chicken pecking rice.
After putting Rosie down, Summer closed the door and came out. She took out her phone and fought
out Leonardo's phone number. She hesitated for a while, and in the end, she did not dial the number.
It was clearly Leonardo's fault, why should she back down first? Even if she reconciled with Leonardo,
the problem between them still hadn't been resolved yet. Summer wondered what Leonardo was
thinking....
Early in the morning, Tim received a phone call from Leonardo. He was instructed to go to the villa to
get some daily necessities and two sets of clothes to the office for Leonardo.
After answering the phone, Tim felt a little puzzled.
'Mr. Emerson lives with Mrs. Emerson in her house? Why did he suddenly ask me to take his clothes to
the company.'
'Did they quarrel?'
When he arrived at the company, he knew he guessed right.
The entire Emerson Group was immersed in a depressing low pressure all day. Leonardo was in a bad
mood, and he talked to others harshly.
When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Tim received a third text message from his wife
urging him to go home for dinner. Tim finally went to Leonardo's office on the pretext of delivering the
documents.
"Mr. Emerson, should I drive you back today?"
"No necessary," Leonardo said without raising his head.
"Then can I get off work now?" Tim asked tentatively.
Leonardo looked up at him, "Get off work?"
Tim nodded slightly and said respectfully, "It's almost nine o'clock."
Leonardo said obscurely, "You've never been in a hurry to go home before."
"My wife is waiting for me at home for dinner." When Tim mentioned his wife, a smile appeared on his
face.
That smile was unpleasant for Leonardo to look at. Leonardo narrowed his eyes and stared at Tim for a
while. Suddenly, he stood up and walked out with his coat. As he passed by Tim, Leonardo simply said,
"Let's go."
"Where are you going, Mr. Emerson?" Tim followed closely.
"Let's go to the Golden Cauldron Club for dinner."
Tim had no choice but to drive Leonardo to the Golden Cauldron Club.
He thought he could go home after sending Leonardo to the Golden Cauldron Club. However, just as
he opened the car door for Leonardo, Leonardo said inadvertently, "Let's have dinner together."
"Mr. Emerson...." Tim wanted to refuse, but Leonardo had already entered the Golden Cauldron Club.
Leonardo's upright back was emitting a bleak feeling under the illumination of the light.
Tim didn't want to have dinner with Leonardo at all. He wanted to go home to accompany his wife and
children. He was getting old and he wanted to focus on his family. However, he could do nothing with
Leonardo's order. He had to go in reluctantly.
Leonardo was extravagant today and he ordered a large table of dishes.
But these dishes were very light flavored, which were not the taste that Leonardo loved. After following
Leonardo for so many years, Tim knew Leonardo loved spicy food.
The two men sat face to face without saying a word. Even the air was filled with embarrassment.
Tim suspected Leonardo couldn't go home for dinner because he quarreled with Summer. So Leonardo
stopped Tim from going back to accompany his wife and children and deliberately forced Tim to have
dinner with him.
Leonardo noticed Tim's expression. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does it make you feel
uncomfortable to dine with me?"
"No." Tim immediately denied.
Then he sighed and boldly asked, "Mr. Emerson, did you quarrel with Mrs. Emerson?"
Leonardo was picking up the dishes and he suddenly stopped. He retracted his hand and placed the
chopsticks on the dining table, staring at Tim seriously.
"I'm just asking. If you're willing to tell me, I may be able to help you analyze it." Tim was sincere. He
knew Leonardo and Summer well. Most likely, Leonardo was the reason for the quarrel between the
two of them.
Leonardo did not immediately answer Tim. Tim lowered his head and waited for Leonardo to speak.
After a long while, Leonardo said in a low voice, "Do you think Stanley is coveting Summer?"
"We don't know Mr. Stanley's background. He must get close to Mrs. Emerson for some reason." There
was no doubt about this.
"Even you know Stanley is trying to do something evil to Summer. Summer actually said that Stanley
was innocent!" Leonardo sneered.
Tim frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Emerson, Mr. Stanley may not want to have a relationship with Mrs.
Emerson. He may have other purposes."
Mr. Emerson was still unable to get rid of the thought that all the men who tried to get close to Summer
had feelings for her. Mr. Emerson was insecure, suspicious, and paranoiac. Tim had seen these
problems in Leonardo a long time ago.
However, Leonardo was in his early twenties back then. When Tim first came to work under Leonardo,
Leonardo didn't trust Tim.
After a long time, Leonardo gradually grew older and became even more reserved. In terms of work, he
basically wouldn't have such an unreasonable time.
However, Leonardo showed these problems when it came to Summer.
After all, it was related to Leonardo's childhood experiences.
After experiencing his mother’s kidnap case, Leonardo was somewhat mentally handicapped. It was
understandable that he would sometimes become paranoiac and insecure. But if this continued, it
would be bad for Leonardo.
