His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian)

Chapter 47 It's Only Natural for Men to Pay

Summer left the villa and ran far away before stopping.

She must stay away from Douglas, for he was too dangerous.

Just as this thought occurred to her, a car stopped beside her. She turned her head instinctively and

saw Leonardo lowering the window.

Their gazes met. Summer was shocked for a moment before quickly moving her eyes away, and she

quickened her pace.

Leonardo drove slowly and closely followed her. He kept his car alongside her and said in a low voice

with a commanding tone, "Get in the car."

"No need," Summer turned around and said before continuing walking. Leonardo understood that

Summer was keeping her distance from him.

As Summer walked, she felt he stopped following her. She paused for a moment, but couldn't help but

look back.

She saw Leonardo get off the car and walk towards her with a cold and threatening look.

He had long legs and walked to her in a few steps. Without saying anything, he picked her up

horizontally and stuffed her into the car.

Summer was dumbfounded. This man was really...

She laughed angrily, "Douglas! Will you stop messing around?"

"Who's messing around?" Leonardo glanced at her coldly before continuing to drive seriously.

"You! Of course!" Summer said.

Leonardo pretended he didn't hear her and jumped to the next question, "Address?"

Summer did not answer him. Leonardo stretched out his long arm and took her phone from her jacket

pocket, finding the message from Karen.

"You eavesdropped on me?" Otherwise, how could he know that she was going to see Karen?

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant that Karen had mentioned.

Before Summer got off the car, she saw Karen through the restaurant's French window, who had been

waiting there for a long time.

Karen was sitting by the window. She checked the time every now and then and looked outside. She

was alone.

When Leonardo saw that Summer was only watching Karen instead of going to see her, he asked, "Are

you planning on sitting here and watching her like this?"

Summer looked at him and did not say anything.

Let Karen experience what it was like to be hung out to dry.

Leonardo looked out of the window and found that there was also a restaurant on the opposite side. He

drove to its parking lot and got Summer out of the car and into the restaurant.

He took Summer directly to the second floor and chose a booth by the window. From here, she could

see Karen.

The waiter brought the menu to them, and Leonardo directly pushed it to Summer.

Summer looked up at Leonardo. Although she didn't say anything, he seemed to know what she was

thinking.

"What are you looking at? Order the food." Summer regained her senses. He had been looking down at

his phone. How could he know that she was looking at him? Could it be that he had an eye on the top

of his head?

Since she was already here, she ignored the awkwardness and ordered some dishes.

Afterwards, Leonardo also ordered two.

Before the dishes were served, Summer involuntarily turned to look at Karen in the restaurant opposite

her with a complicated expression.

"Douglas" was quite silent when he was not mocking or threatening her.

"This is the first time she has asked me out to dinner." As soon as Summer finished speaking, she saw

that a car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant and Vicky showed up.

She sneered and continued, "I knew she couldn't just ask me out for dinner." Vicky directly went to

Karen's booth. Due to the distance, Summer could not hear what they were saying. However, based on

their movements, she could tell that Vicky was losing her temper while Karen was comforting her.

After arguing for a while, Karen lowered her head and picked up her phone. Not long after, Summer's

phone rang. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She answered it, "Hello?"

"Summer, why haven't you come yet? Didn't you agree to have lunch together?" Karen was

suppressing her anger, as if getting impatient.

Summer said indifferently, "I'm still on the bus. The road is jammed."

Karen let out a sigh of relief, "Then hurry up."

After hanging up the phone, Summer saw Karen talking to Vicky again. Then, Vicky turned around and

left the booth, but did not leave the

restaurant. After what had happened last night, Vicky just couldn't wait to have Karen ask Summer out.

Did Vicky think that Summer had been ruined by the haters, so she wanted to see how miserable she

was?

If that was the case, shouldn't Summer show up to upset Vicky?

At this time, the waiter began to serve. Leonardo's voice pulled her back to reality, "Eat."

Summer came back to her senses. She suddenly remembered that he muttered "mom" when he was

sick and in a trance last time. She asked "Douglas" curiously, "You have always lived at Leonardo's.

Where are your parents?"

As she finished speaking, she noticed that Douglas paused looking unhappy.

Summer realized that she might have asked the wrong question, so she quickly put food in his bowl

and fawned over him, "You eat more." They finished their meal in silence.

Summer wanted to pay the bill, but Leonardo pulled her behind him with one hand. After paying for the

bill, he turned around and said seriously, "It's only natural for a man to pay for a meal with a woman."

Summer also looked serious, "I am the elder here. I should pay it."

Leonardo leaned closer to her and whispered, "I've already paid the bill. If you really feel guilty, give me

a kiss."

Summer didn't say anything. She would prefer death.

Summer shook off his hand and left the restaurant.

Leonardo looked at her back and revealed a meaningful smile. In the end, Summer never went to the

opposite restaurant to meet Karen. She and "Douglas" went straight home.

Karen had been calling her, but she never answered.

She thought that this matter was over, but the next morning, she received a phone call from Lynn.

"Summer, have you been looking for a job recently? Why don't you come to our own company, so you

won't have to fawn over others? How nice!" Lynn was so sincere that Summer almost believed him.

Summer replied casually, "But I've already found a job."

Between Jarrett Group and Tip Top, she would choose Tip Top in a heartbeat.

Lynn was silent for a moment. Then as if he had made up his mind, he said, "How about I offer you

shares if you come to work in our company?"

Shares?

Summer couldn't help but sit up straight, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.

Vicky and her brother both held Jarrett Group's shares, and would receive a dividend every year. Even

Karen had some shares. Even few, it was better than nothing.
