Predestined Bride

The doctor gave Leonardo an injection. His fever was gone.

Summer helped “Douglas” wipe his sweat off on a towel. The others had left.

She felt strange. Tim saw that she fell into “Douglas’s” arms in the restaurant, but Tim didn’t say anything and even let her take care of “Douglas”. Tim didn’t care about any rumors.

“Mom…”

“Douglas” began to rave again. Summer wiped his sweat off. When she drew back her hand, he grabbed her hand.

She struggled to free herself. He grabbed her hand tightly. She failed.

She glared at him angrily, “I’m not your Mom. Let go!”

However, he was so sleepy that he didn’t hear what she said. He grabbed her hand tightly, calmed down and breathed evenly.

Jessica called Summer.

“Jessica, have you arrived here?”

“I’m at the entrance of the villa. Where are you?”

Summer looked down at “Douglas” who was sleeping soundly. She tried to pull her hand back, but he grabbed her hand tightly. She had no choice but to ask Tim to show Jessica the way.

When Jessica walked in, she was shocked, “Didn’t you say that Leonardo was ugly? Is he ugly?”

Tim stood behind Jessica and felt anxious. He explained, “This is Mr. ‘Douglas’.”

“Mr. Douglas?” Jessica glanced at Tim and said, “Why does he grab Summer’s hand? He’s her cousin-in-law. This will cause misunderstanding.”

Tim was speechless.

Summer couldn’t help but look up at Tim. This was what she wanted to ask.

Tim thought for a while and explained, “You’re his sister-in-law. You’re like his mother.”

Summer faked a smile and looked at Tim, “That’s why he called me Mom.”

Tim wished Leonardo would wake up. He couldn’t take it anymore!

Tim made excuses to leave dejectedly.

“Have a seat. We’ll go out to eat later.” Summer patted the chair beside her.

Jessica sat down and observed “Douglas”.

Even Jessica had met countless handsome men and beauties in the entertainment industry, she couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration when she saw his face, “Holy shit! He’s is so lucky! He’s so handsome. Is he a human?”

She wanted to pinch his face.

Before she touched his face, he opened his eyes suddenly.

First, he was at a loss. Then his gaze became sharp.

Jessica was shocked by his gaze. She drew back her hand and swallowed her saliva. She said, “He is awake.”

Noticing that Leonardo was unfriendly, Summer hid Jessica behind her and said to him, “What are you doing? This is my friend!”

When Leonardo looked at Summer, he calmed down. He said in a hoarse voice, “Water.”

Summer raised her hand that was being pulled by him and said angrily, “Let go!”

Leonardo looked at their hands and her. Then he let go of her hand.

When Summer was about to go out, she heard someone was talking outside.

“I’ll go in and check if he’s dead.”

“He is sick.”

She was familiar with their voices, but she could only recognize the later one. The later one was Tim.

The door was pushed open.

Carl and Tim stood at the door.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Carl didn’t expect that Summer was here. He was surprised. Then he put on his glasses calmly. He said politely, “Hi, Mrs. Emerson.”

Summer said, “Hello.”

Carl changed his attitude quickly.

“I hear that Douglas is ill, so I want to visit him. He…” Carl was interrupted.

“Carl!”

Summer turned around and saw Jessica rolling up her sleeves and walking towards Carl. She punched Carl’s abdomen fiercely.

Carl took two steps back. It was painful, but he didn’t show it. He was calm.

Summer was shocked. What was going on?

They held their breath. Carl chuckled and said in a low voice, “Jessica, would you take care of me if you hurt me?”

Jessica said coldly, “I have warned you! Every time I meet you, I beat you up.”

Summer had never seen that Jessica was so angry. She noticed that Jessica hated Carl.

Jessica turned to look at Summer and said, “I wait for you outside.”

Summer nodded.

After Jessica left, Carl pretended that nothing had happened. He sat down on the bed and stared at Leonardo. He asked, “Are you ill?”

Leonardo said that he would go to the company today, so Carl felt that Leonardo pretended to be ill.

“Leave me alone!” Leonardo frowned and detested Carl.

Leonardo looked at Summer silently.

Summer understood what he wanted to say, “Let Tim get you some water.”

She was worried about Jessica, so she went out.

Leonardo looked at Tim coldly and said, “Get out.”

Tim nodded, “I’ll get you some water.”

Leonardo said indifferently, “No.”

Tim thought that Leonardo was getting weirder.

…

When Summer saw Jessica, she pulled Jessica downstairs and said, “Did you know Carl?”

“Yes,” Then Jessica added, “He owes me. Even if I killed him, he wouldn’t fight back.”

It sounded like that Jessica and Carl had a deep grudge.

Summer let it go and didn’t tell her the invitation of the interview.

They went out to eat. When the dishes were served, “Douglas” called Summer.

She didn’t keep his number, so she didn’t know it was “Douglas”.

“When will you be back?” Although “Douglas” said in a feeble voice because of illness, his voice was recognizable. Summer recognized his voice.

Summer asked, “What do you want?”

He replied, “I haven’t eaten yet.”

“If you had no appetite, let the doctor give you an injection. I…”

She was interrupted by him. He said gloomily, “I want to eat the food you cooked.”

It was rare for him to be gloomy. He always was arrogant. Summer felt sorry for him.

Summer didn’t know how to reply, so she hung up the phone.

Jessica heard their conversations.

She shook the glass and smiled meaningfully, “Did that handsome cousin call you?”
