After Summer said that, the room went so quiet that they could only hear their breathing.
Summer felt suffocated by the silence.
Leonardo stood before her and remained silent.
Summer pushed him. "Say something!"
But Leonardo just turned around and left without saying anything.
Summer gritted her teeth and pointed at his back. "Leonardo, if you go out today, we will break up for
real!"
Leonardo was never the only one who could talk tough. Summer could also do it!
However, most of the time, Leonardo only wanted to scare her, and he didn't really do anything to her.
Leonardo was a soft-hearted man. He just liked the tough talk.
However, Summer was different. Most of the time, she was soft-hearted, but she meant what she said.
Leonardo stopped three meters away from Summer for a moment, and then he walked out without
hesitation.
The door closed with a loud and ear-piercing clang. Summer's heart ached as if Leonardo punched on
it.
Summer lost all her strength. She staggered to a chair and sat down. She lowered her head and
covered her face with her hands for a long time.
Summer stayed in Leonardo's study for a long time, until someone knocked on the door.
Only then did Summer realize it was so dark outside.
It was already evening.
"I'm coming," Summer shouted before she stood up.
However, she sat for too long, and her legs felt numb. She supported herself by the table for a while
before she got better. Then she slowly walked to the door.
Summer opened the door and was surprised to see Tim.
"Tim? What are you doing here?" Sometimes, Tim would stay for dinner. But it would only happen
when he drove Leonardo home from the company at the dinner time.
Normally, Tim only brought the documents here and made a report to Leonardo. He wouldn't stay here
for long, let alone come to Summer for anything.
Now Tim looked very embarrassed. He opened his mouth, but closed it without speaking. He hesitated
for a long time and did not say anything.
"Just say it." Summer was getting more confused. Why did Tim beat around the bush? He was a
cautious and calm man.
Tim frowned slightly as if he had finally made up his mind. He lowered his head and spoke a little faster
than usual. It sounded like he was not as calm as usual. "Mrs. Emerson, the servant has packed your
things and prepared the car. You can set off now."
"What do you mean?" Summer's face turned pale bit by bit, and her voice trembled. "Raise your head
and look at me. Tell me what's going on!"
But Tim kept his head down. "Mr. Emerson said this is his house. You and he are not married yet, so ...
you are...."
Summer interrupted him, "Leonardo wanted me to get out?"
Tim did not dare to say anything, but his silence proved everything.
Summer knew they had a big quarrel this time. But she never expected that he would want her out!
Leonardo used to try every way to bring her here, but now he was sending her away!
Summer clawed at her hair, laughed mockingly and then shouted, "Where is Leonardo? Where is he? I
want to see him! If he wants to get rid of me, talk to me himself!"
Tim finally looked up at Summer. He pursed his lips and didn't do as she said.
This was between Leonardo and Summer, but Leonardo wanted Tim to handle it for him.
First, Leonardo gave Tim the cold shoulder. And now Summer was venting her anger on Tim.
Tim just thought he might owe Leonardo much in his previous life. That was why Leonardo worked him
so hard now. Tim was just repaying the kindness.
Since Tim remained silent, Summer grew angrier. "Alright! If you don't tell me where Leonardo is, I'll go
find him myself!"
Then she pushed Tim away. But she saw Leonardo just as she moved one of her feet.
Leonardo was wearing the same suit as he was in the study when he quarreled with Summer. Summer
prepared it for him when she went out in the morning.
And now, Leonardo was walking up to her in the suit she picked for him in the morning. And he was
going to kick her out!
Summer couldn't help but clench her hands so tightly that her knuckles ached.
She stared at Leonardo, not even blinking her eyes. She didn't want to miss out on his subtle
expression.
Leonardo walked up to her and looked down at her. He looked so aloof and remote.
He was giving Summer the coldest look she had ever seen. The intimacy in the past vanished as he
said, "I tried to respect you by asking Tim to do it. But you insisted that I say it myself. Alright, I'll do it
for you."
Summer tried her best to speak in a calm voice, "Alright."
"We divorced three years ago, and we're not married now. So, there's no need for us to live together."
Leonardo never liked to talk too much. But he could easily hurt others when he spoke seriously.
"You mean ... we're breaking up?" Summer said the last two words with all her might.
"You'll get what belonged to you. As for Rosie, you might not be able to take good care of her now. She
will stay with me. If you want custody, you can ask me later."
Leonardo behaved himself with great calmness. It made Summer look more miserable, because she
couldn't help but start trembling.
She knew she should be as calm as Leonardo, but she couldn't make it!
Summer looked at Leonardo in disbelief, "You don't even want Rosie to live with you?"
"Whether Rosie lives with you or me, it's all the same to me. Anyway, she's my daughter."
After saying that, Leonardo glanced at Summer and raised his wrist to look at the time. Then, he looked
back at Summer. "I have something to do. I hope you will leave before I come back."
Then he turned around and left.
"Mr. Emerson." Seeing Summer's expression, Tim couldn't help but try to stop Leonardo.
Leonardo glanced at him and said carelessly, "Tim, I have confidence in you."
" ... I see," Tim replied with a headache.
Leonardo strode away without any hesitation.
"Mrs. Emerson, you..." When Tim turned around, Summer was still looking in Leonardo's direction. Tim
didn't know if he should keep going.
Summer took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Tim, I will leave. I won't make things difficult for
you. After I move out, please come and see Rosie more often."
