One can say whatever when they are angry. Actually, Carl had already regretted it the moment he said
that. But right now, he had said what he said and it couldn't be taken back.
Jessica had been spoiled since she was little. She was kind of fragile but not arrogant, yet she couldn't
bear suffering wrong. So she immediately left there in an I-don't-give-a-damn manner.
Carl clenched his fists in anger and smashed twice on the table. A sharp pain came from his hand, and
next second, he couldn't feel a thing except numbness.
He picked up the bottle of red wine that was almost full on the table and gulped it down.
Originally, Summer wanted to get something from Bruce by inviting him to dinner at home. However,
Bruce finished his meal in a flash and left instantly, so she didn't have the time or chance to get
anything from Bruce. Luckily, Bruce just lived nearby. So she still had chances even though she failed
this time.
Summer would not give up so easily. Excluding the possibility that Leonardo had asked Bruce to treat
her well, it was pretty suspicious itself that Bruce would treat her so well.
The more she experienced, the more Summer understood that people like Bruce would never do such
things for no reason.
In the following days, Summer didn't go out and stayed at home with Rosie.
Eliza was preparing for the shooting of "Lost City 2". She called Summer almost every day to complain
about trivial matters like which director was hard to get along with and which actor broke the contract
on spot.
Summer was just a scriptwriter, and Eliza liked her script. With Eliza around, Summer didn't have to
worry about anything.
She was really grateful to Eliza, so she listened to Eliza's complaints willingly and occasionally
comforted her. Therefore, their relationship was even better.
In the blink of an eye, on the day before New Year's Eve, Eliza finally stopped filming and visited
Summer with gifts.
When Summer opened the door and saw Eliza, she was a little surprised. For Eliza didn't notify her in
advance.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to come by." Summer moved aside to make way for Eliza to come in.
"I should call you in advance, but I forgot," Eliza said as she carried those bags inside. "I just
remembered it when I was downstairs. Thinking that you are home every day, I just came straight
over."
Summer closed the door and walked inside, following behind Eliza. "Why do you take so many gifts?
Even if you want to send gifts, you should send to those rich investors."
"You've disappeared for three years. And you'll definitely be popular again when ‘Lost City 2’ is
released next year. Then you'll be literally the shiniest star at that time. I'm just here to play up to you in
advance. I could really use some help when you get there."
Eliza said as she sat down on the sofa, like she had been here a million times.
But this was actually her first time visiting Summer's apartment. She looked around curiously and found
that there was quite a lot of kid’s stuff.
"Looks like you are not alone?" Eliza beat about the bush.
Eliza's visit was so sudden that Summer didn't have the time to pack up Rosie's stuff. But actually, it
was fine. It wasn't a big secret anyway.
She had worked with Eliza for so long and knew what Eliza was like.
"No." Summer replied lightly. She walked to the side to boil water and asked Eliza, "What would you
like to drink? Coffee, tea, or juice?"
Eliza had asked Summer about her child with Leonardo before, but Summer always went over it. Only
this time, Summer did not avoid this topic.
There were toys for kid in the room, and Summer admitted that she wasn't living alone. This was
admitting implicitly that she was living with a child.
This child must be hers with Leonardo.
Eliza was slightly surprised for a moment, then sat up straight and said, "Coffee."
Summer took out some coffee beans to make coffee for Eliza.
Eliza focused on Summer's expression and said casually, "Last night, we had a meeting until three
o'clock. And then I went out to do some work early in the morning. Now I'm really sleepy. I have to have
some coffee."
Summer only glanced at Eliza and laughed.
Eliza was obviously curious about Rosie, but she was also worried that Summer had been shunning
the topic before and being too direct might hurt Summer’s feeling. So she could only keep making
small talks.
"Take care of yourself. Don't wear yourself out."
As they were talking, Rosie's door opened, and the sound attracted Eliza's attention.
Rosie walked out. She didn't notice Eliza, walked straight to Summer, and said, "Mom, I'm thirsty."
Eliza's eyes almost stuck to Rosie from the moment she came out.
The little girl was in a set of bright yellow pajamas. Rosie had fair skin, and such a bright color added to
her face a pinkish and tender touch. She was like an exquisite and carefully molded doll.
Her brows and eyes were exactly the same as Leonardo. Heavens! She actually saw Leonardo and
Summer's daughter!
Was she the first one to see Leonardo's daughter in the entire showbiz in Hoover City?
Big news! Absolutely big news!
Summer poured a cup of water for Rosie, and when she looked at Eliza again, the latter was sitting
there motionless, like she was frozen, her mouth slightly open and eyes wide open. She looked funny.
Rosie was indeed thirsty. She didn't put down the cup before she drank up more than half a cup of
water.
At this time, Summer held Rosie's little shoulder and asked her to look at Eliza, "Rosie, that's Mom's
friend. You can call her Ms. Austin."
"Ms. Austin." Rosie called Eliza.
"Hey, you are Rosie, right? Good girl." When Eliza talked to Rosie, even her voice turned cute.
Summer smiled and took the brewed coffee over.
Eliza's eyes were still onto Rosie. When Summer came closer to her, she asked curiously, "Is she really
you and Leonardo's daughter? She is such a big girl! You guys are so good at keeping secrets!"
Rosie didn't stay in the living room for too long and greeted Eliza before going back to her room to play.
Summer smiled faintly and said in an unbelievably gentle tone, "So are you and Bowen."
Eliza was stunned. Summer sounded gentle, but what hidden in her words was a threat.
Summer and Leonardo had never let Rosie appear in public, and Eliza had been keeping her
relationship with Bowen a secret, too.
If Eliza dared to leak the news about Rosie, Summer wouldn't mind to let everybody know her
relationship with Bowen.
Summer was not afraid of her. And Eliza couldn't get any benefit from this.
