Summer was too nervous, so she hit Leonardo very hard.
Then she felt that he stiffened, so she called him in a tense voice, "Leonardo?"
"Summer...." Leonardo muttered. He only called her name and then fell on her.
Summer immediately turned her head to the side, and Leonardo's head landed on her shoulder.
The room fell into a strange silence. Summer could only hear their breathing.
After calming down, Summer pushed Leonardo. "Leonardo?"
But Leonardo couldn't reply to it, so Summer pushed him off her body. She sat up and turned on the
lights in the room.
The moment the room lit up, Summer saw everything.
Leonardo had been knocked out, so he was sleeping quietly in bed.
When Leonardo fell asleep, he was still frowning slightly, as if there were too many troubles in his
dream.
Summer stroked the area between his eyebrows until Leonardo stopped frowning. Then she smiled,
covered him with the blanket and bent down to kiss him on the lips.
Summer stood up and looked at his handsome face with a sigh.
Then she walked towards the door. After she gently pulled on the door handle and opened the door,
she found there were no bodyguards outside.
During the day, when Leonardo was not in the house, he would have bodyguards guard the bedroom.
At night, bodyguards would leave because Leonardo came back home.
Summer gently closed the door. She took her shoes and walked downstairs barefoot.
She walked carefully without making a sound.
There were lights in the hall. Some bodyguards were on duty in the courtyard. It was midnight, and they
were very tired. If Summer remained careful, the bodyguards would not notice her.
After thinking about it, Summer was about to go out. Suddenly, she heard Tim calling her from behind,
"Mrs. Emerson."
Summer was scared. Then, she could only turn around and looked at Tim with an upset expression.
"Assistant Tim."
When Summer planned how to escape at night, she only took the bodyguards into consideration. But
she completely forgot Tim also lived in the villa.
Tim looked very calm. He didn't seem to be surprised that Summer came out of the room at this time.
He looked at Summer and said calmly, "Mrs. Emerson, you can go out alone. But how are you going to
find Rosie?"
Summer thought that Tim would send her back to the room. Now it seemed that he was trying to
reason with her.
If Tim wanted to talk, Summer was not afraid of anything.
Summer crossed her arms and said seriously, "Vicky said that they would come to me. Didn't you guys
never hear from Rosie? If you let me out, they will take me away. At that time, you can follow the clues
and find out where Rosie is."
Tim's face changed.
Now Summer was even more certain about her thoughts.
She stared at Tim and said, "So, you guys knew they are after me? That's why Leonardo didn't tell me
that Rosie was kidnapped. After I knew the truth, Leonardo locked me in this villa. He was afraid that I
would use myself to exchange for Rosie."
Summer knew everything. There was no need for Tim to lie, so he nodded and said, "Yes."
This simple answer explained everything Summer had thought before.
Summer bit her lips and rubbed her forehead. She scratched her head irritably and then questioned
Tim, "How can you let Leonardo do that? If those people wanted me, then trade me for Rosie. At least
I'm an adult! Rosie is only three years old. She...."
Summer choked up when she said this. She raised her head and took a deep breath to calm down.
"Mrs. Emerson, I know."
Tim had a complicated feeling. He stared at Summer for a few seconds, then he whispered, "But you
are Mr. Emerson's top priority. If he had to choose between you and Rosie, Mr. Emerson will only
choose you."
Summer looked at Tim in disbelief, "What do you mean?"
Summer found that she could not quite understand Tim's words.
"Mr. Emerson once told me."
Tim paused before continuing, "He said if it hadn't been Rosie, Adams wouldn't have had the chance to
threaten you and take you to the island."
Tim had been dealing with Summer for a long time. Summer was smart. He was sure that she could
understand it now.
Summer was stunned for a moment. After a while, she finally found her voice. "He said that?"
Tim nodded silently.
Summer put one hand on the door and looked down. Silence fell between them.
Leonardo still couldn't get over what happened on the island.
Not only did he blame himself, he even blamed Rosie.
That was why he was not that close to Rosie as before.
"But Rosie is his daughter." Summer could not believe that Leonardo would say that.
"Yes. Mr. Emerson loves Rosie, and he loves you more." Tim's words made the conversation to start
circling.
Leonardo loved Rosie, but now he didn't love her as much as he did when he lost all his memories of
Summer. After Leonardo remembered their past and his feelings for Summer, he loved Summer the
most now.
Leonardo loved their daughter, but he loved Summer even more.
Leonardo was decisive. If he had to choose between them, he would choose Summer without any
hesitation.
Leonardo knew Summer well. After knowing that those people were after Summer, he knew that
Summer would go over and use herself to exchange for Rosie. So, he just locked her up.
But now, the most important thing was to find Rosie.
Summer raised her head and asked Tim, "Do you know what those people want from me?"
Tim shook his head, "No."
Summer turned to look at the dim night outside and said, " Tim, please, let me go."
Summer rarely asked others for help.
But Tim didn't say anything. Summer knew she was making things difficult for him.
" Tim, you have children. You should know how I feel. I feel so guilty staying here. I am such a terrible
mother for Rosie. She has been kidnapped for so many days, but I just sit here and do nothing. I suffer
every day...."
