Prev Chapter Next Chapter

When he was absent-minded, Rosie ran up to him and called, "Dad."

Rosie had already climbed onto the chair opposite his desk by herself, from where she finally climbed

onto his desk.

Normally, when worked from home, Leonardo would let Rosie sit on the desk. As she was too small, he

could only be relieved when she was within his sight.

Summer strode over and paused for a moment before saying, "Rosie misses you, so I send her here.

By the way, I need to have a talk with you."

Have a talk?

Probably, sending Rosie back was just an excuse for having this talk.

Leonardo only gave her a faint glance and then called the servant to bring Rosie back to her room.

After Rosie left, they sat face to face.

For some reason, no one spoke first.

Summer looked down at the desk, while Leonardo lowered his head and casually flipped through the

documents in his hand.

After a while, Leonardo said, "Don't you have something to talk about? If not, I still have work to do."

Leonardo said in a cold and indifferent voice, in which Summer can feel no emotion other than a trace

of boredom.

Summer pursed her lips tightly and took a deep breath before speaking, "When are you going to marry

Amber?"

Leonardo paused and finally looked up at Summer. "What? Do you want to come to the wedding?"

Hearing this, Summer involuntarily clenched her hands, but she still kept a calm expression. She even

smiled. "Why won't I come if you invite me?"

Leonardo didn't expect her words. He stared at Summer and said nothing.

"If you have decided to marry Amber and to keep Rosie's custody, I will sue you." After saying those

last four words, Summer tensed up, sitting with her back straight. She was nervously waiting for

Leonardo's reply.

What would Leonardo say? Would it still be the same as before?

They had lived together for so long, so Leonardo knew Summer’s habits very well.

He retracted his hands from the desk and placed them on his legs. He also clenched his hands tightly

under the desk where Summer could not see.

Then, he said slowly, "Amber and I love each other. Of course we should get married. As for Rosie's

custody..."

At this point, he paused and sneered. "She is my daughter. Of course, I want the custody."

"Don't you know that Amber doesn't like Rosie? If you really like Amber, think about it for her. She

doesn't want Rosie to stay with you at all! Give me Rosie's custody, which is good for you, for Amber ...

and for all of us!"

When things had come to this point, Summer had completely put aside her personal feelings. She only

wanted Rosie.

She believed that her analysis was rational enough and easy to understand for Leonardo. So there was

a high possibility that Leonardo would approve.

If Leonardo could hear what she said, then they wouldn't have to meet in court. This was the best

result.

However, thoughts were just thoughts.

"Good for all of us?" Leonardo's voice was somewhat gloomy as he curled his lips slightly. He looked a

little scary.

Facing such a Leonardo, Summer was a little scared. Just as Summer was feeling extremely nervous,

Leonardo suddenly stood up, placing his hands on the desk and leaning forward to look at Summer.

His eyes were as black as ever, as if thick ink had been sprinkled inside. They are so deep that she

couldn't see any other colors.

Leonardo gazed at her and said mockingly, "Summer, you are really a kind and carefree woman. Do I

need to thank you for caring about me and another woman?"

Summer noticed the mockery in his words.

"What do you want? Do you want me to cry in front of you and beg you for the custody of Rosie?"

"Let’s be realistic! I will definitely get the custody of Rosie." Summer's eyes were filled with

determination.

Leonardo looked down at her with a smile that she could not understand.

His woman had to be like this, never admitting a defeat, even in front of him.

If so, he could rest assured...

Leonardo closed eyes to cover his emotions. He turned around and said, "If you are determined, you

can leave. I'll see you in court."

"Alright!" Summer bit her lips and squeezed the word out. Then she got up and left.

Without looking back, she strode out of the study.

It wasn't until Leonardo heard the door was shut that he looked back, putting his hand on the desk. He

remained in this posture for a long time.

Summer walked out of Leonardo's villa without looking back.

After getting into the car, she started it and called Trevin.

Trevin picked up the phone very quickly as if he had expected that she would call him.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Summer said directly, "Trevin, I have decided to sue him."

"Alright, I see." Trevin did not ask any question. He was very reliable when he got serious about his

work.

Summer hung up the phone and threw it to the passenger seat and concentrated on driving. However,

her expression remained cold.

When she drove into the community, she saw Bruce shopping in the convenience store at the entrance

of the community.

She drove slowly in the community. When she stopped the car, Bruce had already walked downstairs.

She got out of the car and stopped him.

"Bruce."

Bruce stopped and turned around. He looked at her with eyebrows slightly raised, signaling for her to

say whatever she wanted.

After Summer approached, Bruce tilted his head to look behind her, "Where is your daughter?"

"I sent her to Leonardo's house." Summer walked beside him and said with a sense of loss.

Bruce did not ask other questions but just walked inside in silence.

After entering the elevator, Summer broke the silence and said, "I have decided to sue Leonardo for

the custody of Rosie."

She didn't know why she wanted to tell Bruce this. Maybe she really had nobody to talk to.

Bruce was a little surprised by this news. "Leonardo is going to compete for the custody with you?"

He made a simple deal with Leonardo. He only needed to ensure the safety of Summer. As for the rest,

Leonardo would not tell him and he would not ask either.

What he hated the most was meddling with other’s business.

"You sound surprised," Summer managed to force a smile.

Bruce was truly surprised.

Leonardo tried his best to protect her, but he also wanted to compete with her for the custody. Why did

he do such a laborious thing?

Even though he had lived a dangerous and struggling life before, he had to admit that Leonardo was

very ruthless.
