Rosie used to be quite into cartoons, and nothing could distract her. But now she was saying they were
boring?
Summer asked tentatively, "Then what do you want to watch?"
Rosie hopped off the sofa and went upstairs without a word. Summer followed and saw her drawing on
the ground with a board.
Rosie was focused and ignored Summer. Summer tried to talk to her, but she wasn't interested.
In her own comfortable zone, the girl no longer cared about what was happening around her.
Summer sat with her for a while and went downstairs to prepare lunch. She did not plan to eat lunch
here but simply wanted to cook for Rosie. The servants left the kitchen quietly to make room for her.
Leonardo would not return at noon, and Kate had left, Rosie's lunch was covered by Summer.
Therefore, the servants did not need to cook for them.
Summer put in some effort to make the food cute, as little girls liked lovely stuff. Summer walked out of
the kitchen with the lunch, smiling.
When she passed the hall, someone entered the house. She looked up and saw Leonardo prancing
into the hall.
Leonardo also looked up, and they locked eyes with each other. When Summer thought of what
happened yesterday, she looked away in a fluster and went upstairs, as if she hadn't recognized him.
She just kept walking and smothering her urge to look back at him. What was so good about him?
Last night at the Golden Cauldron Club, he had turned a blind eye to her. She knew he was determined
to stay away from her.
Everyone has his bottom line and dignity to protect, and she was no exception!
When she reached upstairs, she discovered her palms were sweaty, and the tray was slimy, too. She
was inexplicably nervous. Why?
She brought the lunch to Rosie and watched her finish it before leaving the room. Then, she couldn't
help but glance at Leonardo's study, but the door was shut.
She had been in Rosie's room for almost half an hour, and Leonardo might have come back for
important documents and left already. With that thought, Summer relaxed a little.
However, she saw him sitting on the sofa in the hall when she reached the staircase. Her heart was in
her throat again. Why was he still here? She dithered over whether to go downstairs or not. She
glanced down and saw he was on his phone.
Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up, so she was relieved and went downstairs. She arrived at the
hall, handed the plate to a servant, and walked to the front door.
Leonardo's voice came from behind her, "Stop!" It was low and deep, without emotions.
She was surprised but didn't stop. Instead, she picked up her pace and then scooted.
She vaguely heard him sneer, but she ignored it. She hated to stay in the same room with Leonardo,
who had nothing to do with her anymore.
Things could go wrong so quickly between two people. They were not married. Besides being Rosie's
parents, they were like strangers to each other.
But in fact, he had transferred the Emerson Group to her, so their relationship could also be considered
professional. Summer was overthinking this.
She only regained her senses when the bodyguards stopped her outside the house.
"What are you doing? Get out of the way!" She looked cold.
The bodyguards looked at each other hesitantly but didn't move. Summer knew they were under
Leonardo's order.
She turned around and saw Leonardo walking out of the hall calmly. He was dressed in a dark suit,
which accentuated the dark and mysterious side of him.
She frowned at him and ranted, "Leonardo! What is this?"
He ambled to her, and every step he took brought her more pressure, so she retreated.
In the end, he stood in front of her and stared at her for a moment before slowly saying, "I told you to
stop."
"You didn't say my name. How could I know whom you were giving the order?" She lifted her chin
slightly, looking cold and unyielding.
He sneered suddenly. She curled her lips. Why did he sneer? What was so funny?
"You got carried away just because you left the Golden Cauldron Club unscathed?" He looked at her
mockingly. "Keep your head down and your nose clean. After all, you are the mother of my child."
'You are the mother of my child.' That he knew.
He was cautious and paranoid, so he always knew the right thing to say.
She gazed at him and taunted word by word, "It is none of your business."
Sure enough, his face dulled as soon as he heard this. That delighted her more than anything. This
was payback for pissing her off.
She squinted at him, showing no intention to back off. Leonardo's jaw tightened. Although his
expression did not change, Summer noticed he was gritting his teeth.
Maybe she picked it up because they had been together for too long, or she was overthinking again.
After a while, he coldly said, "Very good."
"Since you are satisfied, can I go now?" She was not backing down.
She only cared about Rosie now. Even if Leonardo was mad at her, he couldn't vent his anger on
Rosie. So, Summer was not afraid of him at all.
To put it another way, she couldn't care less about how things would go between them. They were
already like this, how could it get worse?
With that thought, she looked calmer. He snorted coldly and walked straight past her to the gate.
The bodyguards made way for her as well.
