Predestined Bride

Summer did not respond immediately. Karen quickly explained, “Summer, I was too busy and didn’t even have time to eat with you alone. Don’t blame Mom.”

If it had been in the past, Summer would have been thrilled to accept Karen’s invitation.

How careless of her to use being busy as an excuse!

Karen was a full-time rich lady, and she had so many servants. So, what could she be busy about?

Summer remembered very clearly that once she bought a movie ticket and asked Karen to watch the movie with her. Karen promised to go.

However, up until the movie ended, Karen never showed up.

Only after returning home did Summer find out that Karen was busy picking up Vicky because Vicky got drunk outside, so Karen naturally stood her up. She didn’t even bother to call Summer and kept her waiting until the movie ended.

Summer opened her mouth and said with a faint smile, “Alright, send me the address.”

She hung up the phone and looked up. Jessica was looking at her with disappointment.

Summer was surprised, “What’s wrong?”

Jessica said angrily, “Your mother invited you to dinner again? Are you really going?”

“Yes.” Summer pulled Jessica to sit down on the sofa. The second before Jessica snapped, Summer said slowly, “I have my plans. Have you brought the brick for me?”

Jessica replied, “It is in the car. Let me get it for you.”

Summer couldn’t open the door, and her things were all inside. She didn’t know how long it would take before rescue arrives, so she asked Jessica to bring her a brick. She planned to smash the door.

Jessica had been doing great at work these years. She had wanted to help Summer with the door, but her agent called her again.

Before leaving, she reluctantly said, “Summer, when you smash the door, remember to video chat with me.”

Summer didn’t reply. Did Jessica’s fans know how juvenile she was?

…

Summer walked to the door of her room with the brick in her hand, and smashed its handle, making a huge noise.

The noise attracted Leonardo. When he arrived at the scene, he was surprised by what he saw, but then he supported his forehead and let out a low laugh.

This woman was really … unpredictable!

He walked closer and grabbed her wrist with great precision, saying in a deep voice, “Cousin is not at home. You can sleep in his room. If the door breaks, will you pay for it?”

Summer also felt that it was indeed not good to break something. She hesitated and said, “But my things are all in there.”

“When you got married, female supplies were sent to his room.” Actually, he did that recently.

Summer had never expected that, but she shook her head and said frankly, “But I am afraid of sleeping in his room.”

“Douglas” might laugh at that, but she was just being honest.

Leonardo did not see that coming. Was she the same woman who bickered with him all the time?

“So, I will continue. I believe he won’t let me pay for it. He is not that stingy,” Summer said. After all, he bought her a phone, and he let that Internet incident go. She felt that he was better than she had imagined.

Leonardo’s black eyes flashed with a hint of shock, and then he stopped talking.

She said that he was generous. What else could he say?

He could only help her with the door.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He reached for the brick in Summer’s hand and smashed the door open in a few strikes.

Summer felt “Douglas” was not that annoying anymore. She blinked and said, “Thank you.”

Leonardo didn’t say anything or look at her. He turned around and left, looking a little … irritated?

Leonardo didn’t go far when he saw a bodyguard going upstairs.

“It was nothing,” Leonardo glanced at his bodyguard.

He was suggesting that he should turn back.

The bodyguard immediately turned around and went downstairs, but was somewhat puzzled.

Just now, it had been loud. Everyone had guessed that Leonardo and Summer were having a fight. He had even bet a hundred bucks, but now it seemed like they were fine…

Just as Leonardo entered the room, he received a message from Carl.

It was a 40-seconds voice message. Leonardo tapped it and put down his phone.

“Am I disturbing you at this hour? Was everything okay last night? Did you use the things I had sent you earlier? If you…”

Leonardo pressed the power button and locked the screen.

Then he went to the cloakroom.

The room was huge. Half the clothes there were men’s suits and shirts, and the other half were women’s skirts and sweaters.

Summer was probably very tired of him. If she paid more attention to him, she would discover that he lived in the master bedroom, and that “Douglas” and “Leonardo” had never appeared at the same time.

Perhaps her prejudice told her that “Leonardo” was definitely not normal.

Leonardo remembered the joy in her eyes when she heard that the phone was a gift from “Leonardo” at the dining table.

At that moment, he was actually a little jealous of himself.

…

Summer closed the door and lay on the bed.

She would sleep better in this familiar bed. After a short rest, she got up to wash her face and change clothes.

Standing in front of the mirror, she hesitated for a moment before deciding not to be ugly. That was actually quite troublesome, and she did not plan to eat with Karen.

Anyway, Douglas had discovered her true face last night, but he hadn’t said anything about it. Now it seemed that pretending to be ugly would only make trouble for herself.

However…

She remembered that “Douglas” kissed her this morning, and the thought of that kiss made her blush and her heart race.

When Summer regained her senses, she realized that she had been reliving Douglas’ kiss. Her face immediately turned pale.

“Douglas” was Leonardo’s cousin. What was she thinking!

Until she got dressed and went out, her complexion was still terrible.

Coincidentally, she met “Douglas” again at the landing.

Leonardo saw that she was not looking good and frowned slightly as he asked her, “What’s wrong?”

As he spoke, he reached out to touch her forehead.

Summer jumped far away as if startled, and then said in panic, “I’m, I’m fine…”

After saying that, she rushed away.

Leonardo stood there and looked down at his hand that was still in the air. After a while, he withdrew his hand with a gloomy expression.

He walked to the banister and watched Summer running away with her bag on her back. His expression darkened a little, but quickly, he followed her apprehensively.
