Summer hesitated for a moment before replying, "I did."
Carl touched his forehead, saying in a serious tone, "Why are you so calm at this point. Do you think
Leonardo will let you go? Do you?"
Summer replied with certainty, "No."
"Then you...." Looking at Summer's calm face, Carl felt anxious, "Aren't you afraid of him?"
Summer remained calm, "There's nothing to be afraid of."
Just as Carl was about to continue, Jessica interrupted him, "Wait, what happened? What did you do to
Leonardo? I can't understand you?"
"Nothing. It's just a small conflict between Leonardo and me." Summer quietly gave Carl a look,
signaling him not to tell Jessica.
Summer didn't expect that Carl would come to her once he knew it. And it was the same day as
Jessica was discharged from the hospital.
Summer had made up her mind not to tell Jessica anything about it. She didn't want Jessica to be
worried.
"Don't fool me!" Jessica knew it was not that simple after listening to the conversation.
Jessica glanced at Summer and then turned her eyes upon Carl, "Summer doesn't want to tell me. You
tell me!"
It was impossible for Carl to hide anything from Jessica. Giving Summer a reluctant look, he told
Jessica everything.
Hearing what Carl had said, Jessica felt shocked and murmured, "Summer, you drugged Leonardo?
Awesome!"
Tugging the corners of her mouth, Summer didn't say anything.
In the next second, Jessica exploded and said, "Do you think it's a compliment? You're so stupid. Even
if you don't want the man anymore, you shouldn't push him to the bed of that bitch Amber." Carl said,
"Leonardo and Summer are divorced...."
"Shut up!" Jessica snorted. Carl stopped speaking, looking out of the window.
"Beside, Leonardo is not a simple person. He can destroy you with just a finger...." Jessica was angry
at first, and then she was worried, "How about hiding abroad for some time?"
"I know you are worried about me, but it is not as serious as you think. I can deal with it." Summer
knew that they cared about her.
It was between her and Leonardo. She didn't want too many people to get involved.
Carl and Jessica looked at each other and fell silent.
After a while, Carl said, "But what you did is incredible!"
Carl and Leonardo had known each other for many years. Although Leonardo's covering Amber didn't
turn them into enemies, Carl felt angry.
And Amber getting hospitalized for her broken legs eased Carl's anger.
Hearing that Leonardo had been drugged by Summer, he felt his anger was released again, but then
he was a little worried about Summer.
He thought Leonardo and Summer would get back together someday. However, when seeing Leonardo
covering for Amber regardless of whether it was right or wrong, he believed that Leonardo cared about
Amber.
Leonardo was a cold and unpredictable person, but he could do everything for those whom he cared
about.
Therefore, Carl was more worried about Summer.
Summer and Jessica were good friends, and he also treated Summer as his good friend. That was why
he came to Summer after he knew what happened.
Jessica glared at Carl, "It's anything but incredible!"
Jessica went home for rest, and her parents had come back. So, Summer didn't need to make soup for
her anymore.
She got more time for the preparation of the case.
Another month passed in a flash. It was hot in Hoover City in early May, and it was time to wear skirts.
There was a short time left before the court session of Summer and Leonardo's custody case opened.
And the news on Leonardo and Amber's going to obstetrician was everywhere on the Internet.
There were not only photos and videos, but also people saying that they had seen Leonardo and
Amber in the hospital.
Dozens of news items were sent to Summer on her phone every day, all of which were about Leonardo
and Amber. There was evidence for every piece of news.
People on the Internet and across Hoover City were gossiping about them.
"Are they getting married?"
"It's just a rumor. Neither of them had confirmed it!"
"They may announce it this time!"
"It's Mr. Emerson's second marriage."
"Rich people."
Summer could hear them talking about Leonardo and Amber even in the supermarket.
She caught a cold again, wearing a mask.
The closer to the court session, the more irritated she became.
She didn't want to hear about Leonardo and Amber, so she just bought some things and went home.
Ever since Leonardo came to her house last time, she had not seen Leonardo for more than a month,
except the blurry pictures on the Internet.
It could be vaguely seen from the contours that the man in the photo was Leonardo.
Summer drove home, looking for all the photos she had seen online in the past two months.
She couldn't be sure of Amber's pregnancy when seeing the first piece of news and the first photo.
'However, the news and photos on Leonardo and Amber's going to obstetrician were everywhere, and
Leonardo didn't deny it. He might want to hold a big wedding instead of hiding their relationship.'
'It would probably be announced in a few days.'
'That night, Leonardo and Amber....' Summer forced a smile. Then, she turned off her computer, picked
up her phone, and stood up to call Trevin.
As Summer had expected, Leonardo and Amber announced the wedding a few days later.
"Yesterday, Leonardo, the president of the Emerson Group, announced his marriage to his fiancée at a
business party. It's scheduled for the middle of next month...."
All the high-society people in Hoover City were talking about it when the news broke.
Summer sat in front of the TV, eating instant noodles and watching the news report.
Tomorrow would be the court day. She had no mood to cook or think of anything else. All she knew was
that she had to get custody of Rosie.
The next morning, Summer dressed up and went to the court. She met Trevin at the entrance to the
court.
Noticing the dark circles under her eyes, Trevin asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"How can I sleep well at such a pivotal time?" Summer turned to look at Trevin and said, "You also
have dark circles, too."
"That night, Leonardo and Amber....' Summer forced a smile. Then, she turned off her computer, picked
up her phone, and stood up to call Trevin.
