Predestined Marriage

Chapter 248: It Is Hard to Be Together for Long

Summer did not know that Karen had gone to look for her that time.

Leonardo did not mention that.

Because Summer was on the phone, she walked slowly. Originally, she was walking side by side with

Leonardo, but now she had already fallen behind Leonardo.

Summer heard Karen's words and raised her head to look at Leonardo.

Leonardo found that she hadn't caught up with him, so he turned around to look at her.

Seeing her staring at him with her phone in hand, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Come here

quickly."

"Summer?" Karen said on the phone, "Why aren't you talking now?"

"If you have nothing more to say, I'll hang up," Summer said coldly. She hung up the phone directly and

walked to Leonardo.

Leonardo felt that something was wrong with her. He frowned but did not ask her. He held her hand

and walked into the restaurant.

Summer sat down at the dining table and did not look at Leonardo. Leonardo put food in her bowl, but

she did not have any reaction.

It looked as if she was completely in her own thought.

Leonardo thought about the phone call she had just got and guessed that her statement had something

to do with it.

After breakfast, Summer did not return to her room.

She stood up and said to Leonardo, "I'm going to take a walk in the courtyard."

Without waiting for Leonardo's reply, she walked out.

Douglas ran over and sat down beside Leonardo. "Where is Summer going? Aren't you going with her?

You two have been always together these days. I can't even find a chance to play with Summer."

Leonardo did not say anything. Douglas didn't know what he was thinking.

Douglas felt bored and was about to get up and leave when he heard Leonardo said, "Follow her and

see what she is doing now. Don't let her get into trouble."

After all, Summer was not familiar with the old house, so he was still afraid that something unexpected

would happen.

Douglas said subconsciously, "Why don't you go out with her? Did you have a quarrel?"

As a result, Leonardo stared at him coldly. Douglas stuck his tongue out at him and ran out.

Leonardo looked at Douglas until he ran out of the door. Then he pursed his lips and withdrew his

gaze.

Summer looked at him with a complex expression and he couldn't understand her emotion at that time.

It might be better for him not to interrupt her. When she calmed down a little, she would naturally be

willing to talk to him.

...

Douglas went to the courtyard and found Summer in a pavilion.

The old house was a retro building, so there were pools and pavilions in the courtyard.

Summer leaned against the pillar of the pavilion and looked at the water absentmindedly.

"Summer, what are you looking at?"

Douglas ran over. A gust of cold wind blew over, and he trembled. "It's so cold."

"What are you doing here?" Summer turned to look at him.

Douglas put on the hat of his down jacket and sat down beside Summer. "Leonardo told me to come

over."

Summer smiled but did not say anything.

"Did you have a quarrel?" Douglas felt that Summer was not very happy.

Summer shook her head. "No."

Leonardo did not tell her that Karen had come to look for her. His motive was for her good. This was

not a big deal.

She would not quarrel with Leonardo over this matter.

Even if she knew that Karen had come to her at that time, she would not take her in. She would

probably send Karen back to the Jarrett Family.

If Karen did not want to go back, she would probably let her live in the hotel.

And Leonardo didn't go too far.

After all, he didn't even like the Emersons, let alone Karen.

However, Summer was still unhappy about that.

No matter what, Karen was Summer's mother. Leonardo should have told her that he had driven Karen

away.

Leonardo looked cold, but he was a cautious and considerate man.

His actions made Summer suddenly realize that they were not equal.

Leonardo would make a decision for her and not tell her about this matter, probably because in his

heart, she could not handle these things on her own.

After thinking carefully, she really felt that she did not have anything.

She had no good career, no particular merit, and no intelligence.

Therefore, Leonardo drove Karen away on behalf of her and he even felt that there was no need to tell

her.

There was a large gap between her and Leonardo. Apart from being slightly different from ordinary

people in personality, Leonardo was indeed perfect.

She knew that his motive might be for her good.

But she couldn't only view this matter in a positive aspect and only thought that he was for her good.

It is difficult for two people who had a large gap to be together for long.

Recently, she had been too dependent on Leonardo.

She didn't want to always depend on man and let him to help her arrange everything.

Douglas tilted his head and frowned thoughtfully. "Then what happened to you guys?"

Summer laughed. "Little brat, it's none of your business."

Douglas curled his lips, and made a gesture of number eight, "Don't call me little brat all the time. You

are only eight years older than me. And we are still of the same generation. How can you call me little

brat?"

Summer said, "It's too cold. Let's go back."

When she came out, she felt it was okay, but now she felt a little cold.

She and Douglas had just left the pavilion when they saw Leonardo walking over with her coat in hand.

Summer walked over quickly and said, "Leonardo."

Leonardo's eyebrows furrowed slightly, like an inextricable knot.

He silently draped the coat over her shoulder.

They walked inside together.

Leonardo thought that Summer would say something to him, but she didn't.

He remembered that Summer was actually a person who could hide her thoughts well.

If he had known earlier, he should have asked her directly instead of giving her a chance to consider

things on her own.

Now she had thought about it for so long, she would not tell him anything.

Summer remembered that Eliza had given her a phone number at that time.

Although she had rejected Eliza at that time, she still had her phone number.

Because of Eliza's father, there were many people who would help her.

Eliza said that she was willing to help her. As long as her words were sincere, she would definitely help

Summer find someone reliable.

Summer found Eliza's phone number. After thinking for a while, she did not dial the number directly. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Instead, she searched Eliza's WeChat account using the phone number.

It would definitely be awkward to call Eliza all of a sudden.

It could be considered a tentative approach to contact her on WeChat first.

Summer sent a request with her name.

After all, today was New Year's Eve, and she thought that it would take Eliza a long time to reply, or she

would simply ignore it.

However, not long after her message was sent, Eliza agreed her request.
