"You...." Amber was made speechless by Summer's retort.
Impatiently, Summer stood up. Her cat-like eyes were filled with extreme coldness. She said in an
emotionless tone, "Amber, you've been picking on me all the time. You must have learned my past. You
should know very well that my classmates were afraid of me back in school. As for why, you can learn
a little more."
"Also, about you and Leonardo, I don't care whether he spent 200 million dollars or 1 billion dollars on
you or how many times you two made love in one night and where you made it. Stop messing up with
me! The last but most important thing is, don't you ever try to hurt Rosie."
Summer paused for a moment before continuing, "You must have seen how well Leonardo and Rosie
get along in the past three years. He won't be easy on you if anything happens to Rosie."
Amber came over like a ton of bricks to pick on Summer, but didn't expect to be beaten flat by
Summer's scolding.
The thing that hurt Amber the most was that she failed to make Leonardo fall in love with her during the
three years when he lost memory. It infuriated Amber to hear Summer talking about those three years!
"Are you threatening me?" Amber clenched her hands tightly, her eyes filled with resentment.
Summer said expressionlessly, "No, I'm warning you."
"Who do you think you are? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Amber laughed under extreme
anger.
"I don't think I'm afraid of you, but you've always thought that I was afraid of you, so you tried to target
me and break me in every way." Summer's tone was extremely calm.
Amber remained silent.
Amber used to be much more rational.
She was a proud girl with a whole bunch of pursuers in her twenties. She was the one to choose, not
the one waiting to be chosen by others.
Afterwards, she fell for Leonardo, but failed to win his love after three years' efforts. Her pride was hurt
like hell.
After that, Amber became unlike herself. She thought that Summer was her enemy, and took out all her
hatred on Summer.
After she became Leonardo's girlfriend, she was even more worried about losing him. She was afraid
that Summer would snatch Leonardo away. Therefore, she kept targeting Summer, picking up on her
whenever she could.
Seeing Amber silent, Summer carefully sized her up and continued, "Leonardo and I did break up,
thoroughly. If you really love him, then stay with him. Don't waste your time on me. Life is short, and
precious."
Summer's words were somewhat emotional, but also like a piece of advice. For a moment, Amber was
confused as to what Summer meant.
She looked at Summer in a strange look, but didn't say anything. Summer had to admit that she was
indeed soft-hearted. Even though she had said that she wanted to hate Leonardo, she still hoped that
Leonardo would be happy. probably because they had such an unhappy past, or because Leonardo
had sacrificed his life to save her.
Probably because she ... still loved him.
Summer stopped this thought quickly. She had recollected her usual calmness when she raised her
eyes again, "There's no need to look at me in that way. You may listen to me or not. Anyway, what
happened between you and Leonardo has nothing to do with me. Whether you listen or not is up to
you."
After saying that, Summer left without looking back.
Amber turned around and looked at Summer's back. A touch of deepness flashed through her eyes.
What did Summer mean by what she said just now?
Although Eliza was far away, she could vaguely see Amber's expression.
As soon as Summer came over, Eliza pulled her to a corner and asked, "What did you say to Amber?
Her expression looks very strange."
"I told her not to bother me anymore." That was mostly what Summer meant.
"Really?" Eliza frowned.
Summer glanced at the director and smiled at Eliza, "I'll go see the director."
Whether Summer's words worked or not, Amber left the next day. She didn't tell everyone else except
the director, and left quietly.
Eliza became even more curious. She felt that it must have something to do with Summer that Amber
left so quickly.
During the break of the filming, she asked Summer, "Did it have anything to do with you that Amber left
so quickly?"
"Am I so capable? Or do you think she'll listen to me?" Flipping the script in her hand, Summer asked
without raising her head.
Eliza thought for a moment and felt that neither was possible, so she stopped asking.
When Summer returned to the hotel after work, she received a phone call from Tim.
Summer hadn't seen Tim after he visited the crew with Leonardo. He must have left with Leonardo after
the charity party.
Summer answered the phone and said politely, "Assistant Tim."
"Ms. Summer, I'm taking Rosie home. She said she missed you very much. Are you free to make a
video call now?" It was very quiet on the other end of the line, and he was probably in a car.
Hearing Tim's words, Summer felt a little remorseful. She had been with the crew for almost ten days
now, and she didn't call Rosie in the middle.
She hurriedly said, "Yes, it is fine now. Is it convenient for you?"
"I'm driving, but I can give Rosie my phone."
"Alright."
After Summer hung up the phone, she opened Face time to make a video call with Tim.
As soon as the video call was connected, Rosie's face appeared on the screen of Summer's phone.
Not long after the New Year, it was still in the first month of lunar year. The weather was cold in Hoover
City. Rosie was wearing a sweater, with her hair braided into two small buns. Her face was pressed
close to the camera, thus full of the screen.
Summer couldn't help but laugh and said gently, "Rosie, you put your face too close. Hold the phone a
little farther away from you."
Summer was not sure if Rosie heard her. Rosie called excitedly, "Mom!"
"Sweetie!" Summer smiled and replied, "Take the phone away a little. Mom wants to see you."
"Oh!" Rosie answered loudly. Then, she took the phone a little far from herself and leaned back in the
seat. She was wearing a red sweater, which made her chubby face, her bright and black eyes lovelier.
She looked at Summer with her pink lips pursed.
Summer looked at her carefully and said, "My Rosie seems to have grown a little bigger!"
"When will you come to see me? It's been a long time since you came." Rosie pouted, looking very
disappointed.
Summer couldn't help but laugh and said gently, "Rosie, you put your face too close. Hold the phone a
little farther away from you."
Summer was not sure if Rosie heard her. Rosie called excitedly, "Mom!"
"Sweetie!" Summer smiled and replied, "Take the phone away a little. Mom wants to see you."
"Oh!" Rosie answered loudly. Then, she took the phone a little far from herself and leaned back in the
seat. She was wearing a red sweater, which made her chubby face, her bright and black eyes lovelier.
She looked at Summer with her pink lips pursed.
Summer looked at her carefully and said, "My Rosie seems to have grown a little bigger!"
"When will you come to see me? It's been a long time since you came." Rosie pouted, looking very
disappointed.
