Rosie looked at Carl for a moment with her head tilted and then called out, "Uncle Carl."
"Hey!" Carl's heart turned soft, "Order whatever you want. I'll come back later when I finished my work."
As he spoke, he gave Rosie a high five. Rosie put up her small hand and hit Carl's hand, which was a
lot bigger than hers.
Summer stood aside and looked at them.
Recently, Rosie got more cheerful and talkative, which was a good thing.
After Carl played with Rosie, he stood up straight and looked at Summer, "Summer, I'll get you a large
chamber."
"No thanks. I'll just sit in the lobby. You can get me a table near the window." The Golden Cauldron
Club was well-located. One could get a good view near the window.
Besides, it was too boring to always sit in the chamber when she was with Rosie.
"Alright." Carl nodded.
During the New Year holiday, many people ate in restaurants, and the Golden Cauldron Club that was
usually packed.
Carl talked with the restaurant manager and then waited with Summer and her daughter for a while
until there were seats available.
"Thank you." Summer thanked Carl for his help.
"You don't need to be so polite." Carl sighed. He looked at Rosie and whispered to Summer, "Although
you are no longer with Leonardo, we are still friends. I will help you whenever you need."
Carl used to be polite to Summer because of Leonardo.
Now that they had known each other for years, Carl already took Summer as his friend.
Even if Summer was not Leonardo's wife or Jessica's good friend, he would still help her. This was a
moral rule of him.
Summer nodded, "OK."
Carl smiled and turned to Rosie with a big smile, "Rosie, throw me a kiss."
Rosie blinked her eyes and said seriously, "Mom said that I can't kiss a man easily, even though you
are handsome."
Amused by Rosie, Carl laughed. "Alright, no kiss. I'm leaving."
Summer followed Carl with her eyes and then turned to look at Rosie. She asked, "Is Uncle Carl
handsome?"
She knew that Rosie sometimes judged others by face. When Rosie saw Jessica, she kept calling her
"Pretty Auntie".
Rosie pursed her lips and frowned as she pondered. Then she nodded with certainty, "Yes."
But she immediately added, "But not as handsome as Dad."
"Rosie, is your father handsome?" In fact, Summer had never asked how she thought of Leonardo.
"Daddy is the most handsome man." Rosie chuckled and added, "Mom is also the prettiest woman."
Such a sweet girl she was. Summer laughed and started to order food.
Before the food was served, Rosie leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside. She
pointed outside and asked Summer what it was.
Summer replied patiently.
However, such harmony was broken when a person appeared.
"Summer."
When Summer heard the voice, she couldn't help but frown.
She turned around and saw Karen in a blue coat walking towards her.
Summer's face fell. She only glanced at Karen and pulled Rosie by her side.
When Rosie heard the voice, she already turned around and looked at Karen curiously.
Karen's gaze settled on Rosie's face. The little girl in front of her, with red lips and white teeth, looked
so pretty and extraordinary. It occurred to her that she had seen them together in the supermarket
before the New Year.
At that time, Karen felt that this child looked familiar. Now she knew the reason as she saw the girl's
face.
This girl looked so much like Leonardo!
Leonardo had perfect features and was very handsome. Rosie, though being a girl, resembled
Leonardo in her eyes and brows.
After Karen realized that this girl might be Leonardo's daughter, she stared at the girl in wide-eyed
amazement. "She is..."
"Karen, please leave immediately if you have nothing to say. Don't disturb us." Summer was worried
that Rosie would be frightened, so she tried her best to keep her voice steady.
Though interrupted by Summer, she wasn't angry and instead continued, "Summer, is she really ... his
daughter?"
Rosie was very sensitive and felt the tension between them. She tugged Summer's clothes and gave
Karen a guarded look.
Summer sensed Rosie's movements and her eyes turned cold. She immediately called a passing
waiter. "Hello, would you please take this lady away? I don't know her. She's disturbing us."
Carl had told them to take good care of Summer and Rosie before he left, so the waiter naturally did
not dare to slight her.
He immediately turned around and made a gesture, "Madam, please leave now and don't disturb our
guests."
Karen's face changed slightly, but she quickly caught on. She said to Summer with a seemingly angry
look, "Summer, calm down. Don't make yourself a laughing stock."
After she finished speaking, she turned to the waiter in an arrogant manner and said, "I'm sorry. She's
actually my daughter and is angry with me. This is our own family business, so leave us alone."
The waiter looked at Karen, then at Summer with uncertainty.
Though confused, Rosie heard the words "she is actually my daughter".
As far as she learned from the cartoon, the mother of her mother should be the grandmother.
Rosie looked at Karen curiously and called out tentatively, "Grandma?"
The word attracted the attention of Summer and Karen.
Summer felt herself careless. Rosie would be four years old in a few months and had already started to
know many things.
It was natural that she also knew about simple family relationships.
However, Summer did not want Rosie to know about the messed-up relationship of the Jarretts.
Hearing this, Karen lighted up and was even more confident when speaking to the waiter, "Did you
hear that? She called me grandma."
Summer did not want to embarrass the waiter or herself, so she said to the waiter, "I'm sorry. We are
okay now."
The waiter nodded and left.
