Predestined Bride

Summer looked at the full of gloom ‘Douglas’ and had a glimpse of his bloody hand, her eyes were opened wide with shock, “You…”

She didn’t put anything strange into her dishes, how could it make him run out and cripple himself?

Leonardo didn’t respond to her and was about to leave when his cell phone rang.

He glanced at the unknown number and immediately cut the call.

At this moment, he raised his sight and looked at Summer, “Go in.”

His voice was low, cold and suppressive with a hint of gloom.

Summer was very sensitive and felt that the ‘Douglas’ was scary. She slowly backed into the room. One hand was holding onto the door and was contemplating whether to lock the man outside.

Leonardo didn’t notice her hesitation because his cell phone rang again.

This time, the display wasn’t an unknown number. Instead, it was the name, Tim Knight.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He didn’t hesitate to answer the call and that Summer was around, he asked, “Why is he looking for me?”

Tim simply said, “Let you bring his daughter-in-law home for dinner, tonight.”

“Ah?” Leonardo laughed, “Next time you don’t have to bother about his call.”

Tim agreed, “Okay, he doesn’t pay my salary.”

After ending the call, Leonardo saw that Summer was still hesitating at the door.

“Eavesdropping on my call?”

Summer shook her head rapidly, “No.”

She felt that she’d better not offend ‘Douglas’.

“Then why don’t you go inside?” Leonardo finishes and stepped forward a step. He looked down upon her and said tenderly, “Or was it that you’ve thought through and are willing to leave my cousin and follow me?”

On hearing what he said, Summer turned and closed the door, without hesitating.

Leonardo didn’t flinch when he saw that he was locked out heartlessly.

He will be staying here for the next two days because he wanted to find the person he chased.

Since he wasn’t here, then there is no reason to stay at Summer’s place.

This new wife was smart, kind, and should not do anything that will interfere with him. That’s why he decided not to bother with her.

…

At the entrance to the alley, Leonardo saw Tim immediately.

As Tim saw Leonardo, he walked over in big strides. His resolute expression had a trace of worry, “Boss, how are you doing?”

Tim reached over to support him but Leonardo waved him off, “I’m alright.”

Tim opened the car door and he sat inside. He leaned back into the seat and said without emotion, “Tim, has he been calling you these couple of days?”

Tim knew who Leonardo was referring to. He nodded and said, “Mr. Emerson said that you’ve blocked his number. He changed the number and called you but you didn’t answer. So the only thing he could do was to call me.”

“Okay.” It wasn’t the first time.

“Just now before you came, Mr. Emerson called and said that if you don’t bring Missus back for dinner, he’ll call her directly.”

His good old dad wants to call Summer that woman to go back to the Emerson residence for dinner?

Tim waited for a while before hearing Leonardo said softly, “Up to him.”

…

Summer returned to her room to finish her dinner. As she was about to wash the dishes, her cell phone rang. It was an unknown number. It rang for a while, it shouldn’t be a prank call.

“Hello, I’m Summer.”

“I’m Leonardo’s father, Michael Emerson.”
