Summer moved her lips in disbelief at Douglas’ words, but she did not speak.
What exactly had happened between Leonardo and Douglas? Douglas mentioned that in the past three
years, Leonardo had been manipulated like a fool, which meant that they were in contact during these
three years.
Otherwise, Douglas would not know so well about Leonardo's situation. However, what Douglas said
puzzled Summer the most.
Douglas was practically brought up by Leonardo, who was deep and reserved. However, Douglas was
sensible as well.
But just now, Douglas said such mean words.
Leonardo leisurely straightened his clothes. He was unruffled, as if he did not hear what Douglas had
said just now. He said softly, "Do you wish to go on your own? Or shall I call someone to carry you
away?"
If it had been someone else, Leonardo probably would not have wasted his energy. It could be seen
that Douglas was different in his eyes.
Summer gently nudged Douglas. Although Douglas was reluctant, he entered the elevator.
Leonardo glanced at her and got into the elevator as well.
Summer watched them leave before returning to her room.
After she got back to her room, Summer searched for good kindergartens in Hoover City on the
Internet. In the end, she screened out more than ten kindergartens, planning to visit them the next day.
The next day.
Summer was worried about Douglas, so she decided to see Rosie first and saw how Douglas was
doing.
After breakfast, she drove to Leonardo's villa. Just as she stopped her car at the gate, Leonardo's car
drove out.
It was Tim who drove to pick up Leonardo. He slowed down when he saw Summer, and he looked at
Leonardo from the rear-view mirror. "It's Ms. Summer."
Leonardo took a glance out of the window and closed his eyes to take a rest, saying coldly, "Go to the
company."
Tim nodded slightly without saying anything else. He directly drove past Summer and went to the
company.
Until Leonardo's car was far away did Summer get out of the car and entered the villa.
She wouldn't see Leonardo if she could help it.
What had happened yesterday disgusted Summer. In order to please Amber, Leonardo actually made
a fool of her. Leonardo would not do such a rude thing in the past. He was not that stupid.
Summer locked the car and entered the villa.
The wind was strong today. Although it was after Spring Festival, it was cold. Summer pulled up her
collar. When she entered the hall, she saw two servants instead of Douglas and Rosie.
A servant came over with his head hanging down, greeting her in a low voice, "Good morning, Ms.
Summer."
"Where are they?" Although Summer did not say who she was looking for, the servant understood her
meaning and looked upstairs. "They're in Miss Rosie's room."
Summer said, "Okay", and went upstairs to Rosie's room.
She knocked twice on the door, and before she said anything, she heard Rosie's adorable voice from
inside, "Come in."
Summer pushed the door open and entered. She saw Rosie and Douglas lying on their stomachs and
looking at a small fish tank with a turtle inside.
Rosie was three and a half years old now. Although she wasn't small among her peers, she looked
much smaller compared to Douglas.
Douglas was the first to look back. When he saw Summer, his face was filled with joy, "Summer!"
When Rosie heard him, she looked back at Summer, her eyes lighting up, "Mommy."
Summer smiled. As she approached, Douglas and Rosie eagerly made some space for her.
"Mommy, look at the turtle." Rosie pointed her chubby hand at the turtle in the small tank, fixing her
eyes on the turtle. "I'm waiting for it to move."
Summer asked seriously, "So you two just stay here and watch?"
She understood Rosie was very curious, but Douglas... was he young at heart?
Douglas seemed embarrassed, scratching his head. "I'm trying to play with Rosie."
As he spoke, he leaned to Summer's ear and whispered to her, "Yesterday I spent a long time trying to
make friends with her, but I failed. Today I got her the turtle, and she finally agreed to hang out with
me."
Rosie was shy with strangers, so Summer thought Douglas did a great job in getting along with Rosie
in one night.
Rosie looked at the turtle intently, so Summer gave Douglas a look and signaled for him to go and chat
with her.
Douglas got her intentions, rising to his feet and walking to one side.
Summer glanced at Rosie, who was staring at the turtle without noticing that Douglas had left. She
stood up in relief and went to talk with Douglas.
"Leonardo didn't do anything to you, did he?" Summer looked closely at Douglas, not seeing anything
unusual about him.
Douglas shrugged, "After he brought me back, he took me to see Rosie and then he ignored me."
"Just like that?" Summer did not believe it.
Douglas rubbed his nose and sat down on a small chair beside him. "Well, actually when I saw Rosie, I
wanted to hang out with her, so I ignored Leonardo."
Summer thought his words made sense. Summer sat down and asked him seriously, "What exactly
happened between you and Leonardo?"
Douglas’ happy face suddenly became serious. After a moment of silence, he looked up at Summer.
"Summer, this is between me and Leonardo, and it has nothing to do with you. I don't want to get you
involved. It might be a good thing that you've broken up with him."
Summer felt uneasy with his deep and serious tone.
"Why do you say that?" Summer was certain that there was a conflict between Douglas and Leonardo,
and it was a huge one.
Summer stared at Douglas, thinking his mother, Violet. Did Douglas know what happened to Violet? If
he did, he would naturally misunderstand Leonardo. It was hard to explain some things thoroughly.
However, this was only Summer's guess. She wasn't sure if Douglas knew about this, so she couldn't
take the risk and bring it up.
Douglas changed the topic, asking Summer with a smile, "Summer, do you have a boyfriend now?"
Startled, Summer couldn't help but stare at him. "Why do you care if I have a boyfriend or not! Little
brat!"
"I'm grown-up, okay? Why don't you consider me?" Douglas gave a meaningful smile.
