Predestined Bride

Summer’s heart softened all of a sudden.

Leonardo wasn’t pretending to be drunk.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t call her “Mom”.

At the bottom of his heart, mother is a very important and heavy role, so he wouldn’t make fun of it.

He only let her touch him when he was drunk because he trusted her and her only.

That’s why he acted like this.

Summer suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Although Leonardo was a man with deep thoughts, he was also the kind of person who would express his emotions directly.

Previously, when she asked if he was being nice to her because she looked like Rachel, he didn’t even try to lie but acquiesced.

He was honest about his feelings, he didn’t know how to disguise, also disdain to deceive.

Summer sighed. Then she helped Leonardo change into his pajamas.

Leonardo had nearly fallen asleep, but he was quite cooperative when Summer changed his clothes.

When Summer was done, he had completely fallen asleep. He looked calm and noble, and the gloominess on his face dissipated. He was just like an ordinary young man from a rich family.

Suddenly, he reached out his hand and only touched the quilt. He frowned, although he did not open his eyes.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Seeing him frowning, Summer felt bitter. It was the first time for him to feel this way.

She put her hand into Leonardo’s. He grabbed her hands tightly, and his furrowed brow was slowly relaxing. Then he fell asleep peacefully.

…

The next day.

Leonardo opened his eyes, and after returning to his senses, he felt that there was someone with a warm body leaning on his chest, and the two of them were in an intimate posture.

The hangover left him momentarily confused.

His face darkened, but quickly, he smelled Summer’s aroma and realized that he was in his bedroom at home.

He relaxed and looked at the woman in his arms.

Summer took care of Leonardo last night so she went to bed late. Now she was sleeping soundly.

Her long black hair spread out on the pillow. She was wearing cotton white pajamas and her cheeks were red because of the warmth under the quilt. She did not look as enchanting as usual when she was asleep but was much cuter.

Leonardo reached out a finger and lightly tapped on the tip of her nose. He smiled and said softly, “My little girl.”

A little girl four years younger than him.

He stared at Summer like that for a long time, and then couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her.

He kissed her eyes and the tip of her nose, then from the tip of her nose to her chin. Before he couldn’t control himself, Leonardo got out of bed and entered the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Leonardo felt refreshed. Seeing that Summer was still asleep, he walked over and took a look at her again. He tucked her quilt for her before going to the cloakroom to get changed.

…

Hunger woke Summer up.

She rubbed her stomach as she sat up from the bed and suddenly remembered what happened last night. She turned around and found that the place on the bed beside her was empty. Then she let out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, she was also a little disappointed.

Looking at the time, she realized that it was already ten o’clock.

Leonardo didn’t like to stay up late and always got up early.

When she finished washing up, she heard a knock on the door.

Only the bodyguards would knock on the door. Summer asked, “What is it?”

However, it was not a man’s voice, but a woman’s. “Mrs. Emerson, are you going downstairs for breakfast now? Or should I bring it up for you?”

Since when did the maid come to the villa?

Summer walked over and opened the door. She saw a middle-aged woman in maid’s uniform standing at the door.

When the middle-aged woman saw Summer, she paused for a moment and then hurriedly lowered her head to greet her respectfully, “Mrs. Emerson.”

“May I know your name?” Summer didn’t remember they had maids.

“My name is Ava Hughes. Mrs. Emerson, you can just call me Ava,” The middle-aged woman smiled and said friendly.

“Nice to meet you Ava,” Summer asked her, “Where’s Leonardo?”

“Mr. Emerson is in the study.” Ava said it with a kind smile on her face, “You can go and find him.”

From the few words, Summer understood that Ava was not just a servant.

After she got changed, Summer went to Leonardo’s study.

When she opened the door, she saw Leonardo typing something on the computer.

He didn’t look up, but he knew that it was Summer.

“Have you had breakfast?”

Summer said hesitantly, “Not yet.”

What happened last night made Summer’s mood extremely complicated.

It was as if two people were arguing in her head.

One of them told her to stick to her original thoughts. She should stop thinking about whether he loved her or not and just keep their relationship like this.

The other felt that Leonardo definitely had feelings for her. Otherwise he wouldn’t have trusted her so much.

She was a little irritated by this.

Hearing Summer’s words, Leonardo looked up at her and frowned slightly, “Go eat your breakfast first.”

His face was cold again as usual, and he looked nothing like last night.

Summer took a light breath and asked him, “Did you invite Ava here?”

“She used to take care of my mother. She was good at her job and my mother liked her very much. Later, when my mother was gone, she resigned and went home.”

Summer was a little surprised that Leonardo would mention his mother to her in a causal conversation.

Then, Leonardo further explained, “It’s convenient to have another female at home.”

Summer blinked. If she didn’t get it wrong, Leonardo invited Ava back because of her?

Summer’s doubts and thoughts were all displayed on her face. Leonardo coughed lightly and said seriously, “Go eat your breakfast.”

“Okay.” Summer turned around and slowly walked towards the door.

Suddenly she stopped and said with a cheeky grin, “Leonardo, do you know what you did last night?”

Leonardo narrowed his eyes slightly, “What?”

Yesterday at the Golden Cauldron Club, he did have the thought of pretending to be drunk make take the opportunity to make peace with Summer.

However, the wine was stronger than he expected and he was actually drunk.

He knew how he returned home and that Summer changed his clothes for him, but he didn’t remember the details, such as what he said.

“Nothing much. I’m going for breakfast.” Seeing that his expression didn’t change, she knew that he didn’t remember anything from last night.

It’s good that he didn’t remember. He would probably get angry if he recalled what he did.

Leonardo also came to the dining room while Summer was eating.

Summer glanced at him as she drank the porridge.

What was he doing here?

Leonardo sat down in front of her with a serious expression. He pondered for a moment and said, “It’s not that you’re like her, but she’s like you.”
