Predestined Bride

Summer had been pretending to be stupid and ugly in front of the Jarrett family for so many years. These people in the Jarrett family had been completely used to her silly appearance.

As a noble family that had lasted for a hundred years, a servant of the Emerson family was very smart, not to mention their masters, Leonardo and “Douglas”.

It was impossible for her to deceive them by pretending to be stupid, so she had no intention of pretending to be stupid from the beginning.

Therefore, as long as she left the Jarrett family, she didn’t pretend any more.

Leonardo turned his head and saw the relief on her face.

She seemed to be afraid of having something to do with “Douglas”.

Although he knew that what she disliked was a fake “Douglas”, he was somehow upset.

Screech-

When the car braked sharply, the tire rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

Due to inertia, Summer suddenly leaned forward and then was bounced back into the chair.

Looking very embarrassed, Summer resisted her anger and turned to look at “Douglas”, “What are you doing?”

“I didn’t brake on purpose,” Leonardo said innocently.

“You…” His insincere explanation let Summer speechless.

He was such a powerful master that she could do nothing but bear.

Leonardo watched Summer repress her anger, and he thought her expression was a little funny.

Summer felt that she was unlucky as long as she met “Douglas”, so she was more determined to stay away from him.

The car stopped at the door of Leonardo’s villa.

After saying thank you, Summer immediately opened the door and ran into the villa.

She asked the bodyguard standing at the door, “Is your master at home?”

She dared to return to Jarrett’s home because she had the self-confidence that she could leave there safely. But she was still grateful to Leonardo for letting “Douglas” pick her up.

The bodyguard took a look at Leonardo, who was coming to them with the car key. He said casually, “Master has gone out to work and hasn’t come back.”

“Oh…” Summer had a pause and then said, “If he comes back, let me know.”

She wanted to thank Leonard face to face.

“Yes,” the bodyguard said respectfully

Leonardo came over and stared at Summer’s back and said to the bodyguard, “What did she say?”

“Madame wanted to know whether you were at home or not. And when you come back, let her know.” The bodyguard replied honestly.

…

As soon as Summer returned to her room, she logged onto her email to see if there was an interview invitation.

Several small companies had sent her invitation letters.

She didn’t ask her parents for money after she went to college. She just graduated this year and her salary was only enough to support herself.

She married into the Emerson family, which must have given the Jarrett family a lot of benefits. But she did not see a cent now. And because of the marriage, she lost her job and she was very short of money. So, she was badly in need of a job now.

The companies that sent out the interview invitations were not large in size. But they were also good for Summer, who had just graduated, so she planned to go for the interview one by one.

She turned off the computer, went to the stairway, looked at the living room, and found no one there.

She didn’t hear the car, and Leonardo probably didn’t come back.

She had to go back to her room and wait.

When night fell, Leonardo had not yet returned.

Summer thought about it and went to the kitchen.

Leonardo ought to come back for dinner. She could make a meal to thank him.

There were only a few bodyguards in the villa. She seldom had meals in the villa. Did these bodyguards do all the meals for Leonardo?

Leonardo was such an odd man that he didn’t even invite a servant.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the kitchen, a bodyguard came in, “Is madam hungry? We can make whatever you want to eat.”

“I’ll make it for your master. It’s OK. I’ll do it myself.” She opened the refrigerator as she spoke.

After hearing this, the bodyguard just said, “If you need any help, you can call us.”

Summer smiled at him and said, “OK.”

The ingredients in the refrigerator were very complete, all kinds of red meat, white meat, vegetables, melons and so on.

She didn’t know what kind of food Leonardo liked. She was about to go out and ask the bodyguard when she heard a deep male voice behind her, “Beef stew, salads… More peppers, less oil.”

Summer suddenly turned around and saw “Douglas” standing behind her.

He changed into a suit of dark loungewear, his hands into the pockets of his pants. With such a height, even if he didn’t say anything, it’s hard to ignore him.

He looked down at Summer and added, “Oh, and a steamed egg with no pepper.”

Summer, “Oh…”

He began to order dishes. Did he treat her as a hotel attendant?

As he was about to leave, Summer grabbed him and asked, “What kind of food does your cousin like to eat?”

Leonardo stopped and looked back at her. “He likes what I said.”

“Really?” She thought they were “Douglas”‘s favorite.

Leonardo narrowed his eyes, reached for the top of her head, and suddenly held the back of her head, forcing her to look at him.

In order to match her height, he bent over and looked at her. There was no expression on his handsome face, “Do you think I have to cheat you for a meal?”

Their faces were very close, and as he spoke, hot breath he blew out fell on her face, which made her face burn.

She could see clearly that her own face was reflected in his dark eyes.

She didn’t feel much about her face before. But now she looked very ugly and stupid.

She suddenly felt that “Douglas” had a strong ability to tolerate. A rich master like him who was used to beautiful women could kiss her ugly face!

Leonardo saw Summer staring at him blankly. He smiled, slid his hand over her delicate neck, stroked her and said, “You are looking at me so obsessed. Do you want to get rid of that disable man and be together with me?”

His fingers were a little cool, but they seemed to be carrying electric current, which made her shiver involuntarily.

Summer suddenly came back to her senses and pushed “Douglas” away, “What are you talking about!”

Unprepared, Leonardo was pushed back two steps by her. After he stabilized himself, he was not embarrassed at all. His face was still so calm, “Believe me, those are Leonardo’s favorite dishes. Besides, I will have dinner with others tonight.”

He gave her a meaningful look, and then slowly paced away from the kitchen.

As soon as his figure disappeared, Summer still felt frightened, reached for the refrigerator door and gasped to stabilize her figure.

She trembled slightly and reached out to touch her neck. As soon as she touched it, she retracted her hand as if she got an electric shock.

After calming down, Summer could be sure that “Douglas” deliberately flirted her just now.
