Predestined Bride

Summer made tomato and beef noodles.

When she chopped the beef, Leonardo stood by the side. After a while, he said in a strange tone, “Slow down.”

He had no experience in cooking.

Summer chopped even faster. After putting it on a plate, she turned to look at him and said, “Wait outside. Don’t get in my way.”

Perhaps people would feel lonely at night. Leonardo didn’t want to go outside. He wanted to watch Summer cook.

He found himself an excuse, “I must watch you. What if you do poison me? I don’t want to die.”

“I’m not that stupid. If I poison you, I will go to prison. So I won’t. I’m worth 300 million,” Summer teased herself.

But Leonardo took it seriously.

Leonardo tried to defend himself. “It was two families that wanted you to get married. My cousin had to agree to it.”

“I don’t blame him. Why are you nervous?” Summer looked at “Douglas”. “I remember you said he was useless the day I came. Now you speak for him. Do you like him or not?”

“Douglas” asked, “What do you think?”

Well, she thought he was a psycho.

But Summer didn’t dare to say it.

After a while, Summer put two bowls of noodles on the table.

They let their guards down and chatted while eating.

But Summer talked for most of the time. And what she asked was all about Leonardo.

His answers were mostly like “yes”, “no”, “I don’t know”, and “possible” and so on.

Summer wondered if they were really cousins.

…

The next day.

Summer overslept.

She quickly washed up, changed her clothes and ran to the door.

She met vigorous “Douglas” at the top of the stairs.

They both got up and had noodles at the middle of the night. Why did she look miserable and he energetic?

She once again wondered if he was made of iron.

When Leonardo saw her, he frowned, “Didn’t you sleep well?”

Summer felt he was showing off.

She looked at the time and ran downstairs, saying “I’m late. I’m not cooking breakfast today.”

Leonardo stepped forward and grabbed her, “I’ll drive you.”

Summer didn’t want him to drive her, but she would definitely get late if she took the bus.

In the end, a bodyguard drove her to the company. “Douglas” got a phone call and left.

Leonardo went to a private teahouse.

Liam was waiting for him at the door. When he saw him coming, he nodded slightly and said, “Sir, Mr. Emerson is waiting for you.”

Then he led him in.

In a private room, Michael was sitting in front of the tea tray, looking rather serious.

“What do you want with me?” Leonardo sat down on the furthest sofa from Michael. He said indifferently, as if the man in front of him wasn’t his father.

Michael was used to his attitude. He raised his head and said to Liam, “Show him.”

Liam held the tablet and handed it to Leonardo.

There was this headline news, which was striking.

It said, “Mrs. Emerson and her cousin-in-law seemed rather close.”

It was veiled, and yet intriguing.

It had many views.

He browsed and found this article was suggesting Leonardo’s cousin was having an inappropriate relationship with his wife.

There were also two photos below. He and Summer were intimate in the photos, which were taken outside the restaurant yesterday.

Michael said, “Explain.”

Leonardo nodded and said seriously, “It is taken from a bad angle. I can’t see my face. It’s a little blurry.”

“Leonardo!” Michael was so angry that he smashed the cup onto the ground.

“You’ve been angry with me for so many years because of your mother. I turned a blind eye to you, but you’re making it harder and harder. You’re taking revenge for not being able to save your mother back then, aren’t you?”

As the patriarch of the family, Michael was powerful and imposing.

Liam, who was at the side, instinctively took a step back.

However, Leonardo did not have the slightest bit of fear. He stared at Michael and said mockingly, “What are you talking about? My mother died at the hands of the kidnappers. What does it have to do with you? Don’t be so anxious to take the responsibility.”

Before he found out the truth, no one was to blame. But once he found out, no one would get away with it.

Hearing his words, Michael looked up at his son carefully.

It had been years since they had proper talks because of what happened to his mother.

They argued every time they met.

“I’m getting old. You’ll take over my company in the future. We have to sort it out. And I’ve seen Summer, who is kind and warm. But if you don’t like her, you can divorce her after I give you the company.”

He had a big family. Many relatives had long coveted Michael’s position. He arranged Leonardo’s marriage because there was talk that Leonardo couldn’t perform sexually and produce offspring so that he couldn’t take over the company.

Ever since Leonardo’s mother passed away, not only had he not appeared in public, but also some relatives had never seen him again.

Michael had even sent Leonardo all kinds of women, beautiful, sexy, sweet and gentle, but they all looked miserable when they went out.

However, Leonardo did not touch them.

Michael had no choice but to force him to get married to shut their mouths.

He knew Leonardo was healthy. After a few years when Leonardo understood him, he would naturally be willing to have kids.

“What happened between me and Summer is between us. I advise you to stop interfering.”

Leonardo suddenly remembered Summer probably didn’t know about this news when she went out earlier.

He had underestimated Vicky’s powerful wish to die. She took photos and even sent them to the media.
