Predestined Bride

After knowing Alexander’s intention, Summer’s expression became colder.

When those old men spoke to her, Summer just responded indifferently instead of warmly.

The older these people were, the more they cared about others’ attitude to them. A few of them saw Summer like this and their faces went an ugly green.

In the end, they didn’t have a pleasant meal.

After the meal, Summer and Alexander returned to the hotel together.

They didn’t say anything on their way back. When they took the elevator in the hotel, Alexander suddenly said, “Summer, don’t feel that I’m using you. Everything I’m doing is for our family.”

Alexander’s words put him on the moral high ground.

For their family.

“Your sister deserves better.”

“Don’t forget that you’re also a Jarrett.”

“I’m doing this for our family.”

Everyone had their own reasons for using her.

But what about her?

Should she just let them to do that and accept her fate?

Summer turned to look at Alexander. Under the blazing light in the elevator, her fair face went even colder.

She stared at Alexander. “But only my family hurts me most during all these years.”

Hearing this, Alexander tensed up, and his expression became complicated.

Just as Leonardo said, Alexander was a smart man, so there’s no need for Summer to say more.

After a while, Alexander said, “Your father and your sister were stupid and did the wrong things. Those will not happen again.”

…

The elevator stopped at their floor and opened.

Summer walked out before Alexander. “Vicky was just foolish to find someone to kill me?”

After she said that, Summer was about to leave. Then she suddenly remembered something. She turned to look at Alexander and said, “Grandpa, I have been wondering about something.”

Alexander frowned slightly and looked stony-faced. Probably because of Summer’s words, he had a very ugly look on his face.

“Why did the Emersons agree that Vicky and Leonardo got engaged? Even if Leonardo was truly a disfigured and impotent man, he could easily find a wife better than Vicky.”

Summer might be able to deceive Lynn with her small tricks. But those were unnecessary in front of Alexander.

Since Alexander easily found out that she had asked reporters to secretly take photos of the factory, it was very difficult to deceive him about anything else.

It was better to ask him directly.

There was a flash of vigilance in Alexander’s eyes. Then, he said coldly, “It has nothing to do with you. You just need to be the young madam of the Emersons. No matter how much you hate your father and your sister, they are your family. The blood in your bones belongs to the Jarretts.”

This was not the first time Summer had heard such words.

She did not expect Alexander to answer her question, but such words made her laugh out loud.

Then, she said coldly, “It is the heart that makes blood. Can you make my heart become yours?”

Alexander’s expression immediately changed. Summer smiled and left.

Alexander and Leonardo were similar. Both of them liked to control others.

However, Alexander’s control was obvious, while Leonardo’s was invisible but more powerful.

…

After accompanying Alexander to dinner these days, Summer was physically and mentally exhausted.

Alexander wanted to return the day after tomorrow. But Summer did not want to stay for another day and wanted to go back tomorrow.

When she opened her suitcase to pack, she received a call from Leonardo.

“You just returned to the hotel?”

“Yeah.” Summer sat down on the bed. She was inevitably affected by those things during these days.

After a moment of silence, Leonardo asked, “What happened?”

He probably sensed that Summer’s mood was down, so he lowered his voice a lot.

Summer was moved as she said, “It’s fine. I just want to go back.”

“Tomorrow?”

“Yeah.”

“I’ll pick you up.”

After talking to Leonardo on the phone for a while, Summer felt much better. She quickly tidied up her things and went to sleep.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The next morning, she ignored Alexander and left the hotel for the airport.

She was tired of the people and things of the Jarretts.

On the plane, Summer texted Leonardo and turned off her phone.

When she thought that she would be able to see Leonardo in two hours, her heart jumped with joy.

After getting off the plane, she went out of the airport and turned her phone on, only to find that Leonardo did not reply to her message. Instead, there were some missed calls from Jessica.

“Summer?”

Someone called her from behind.

Summer thought that she had misheard and did not care. Then someone patted her shoulder. She turned around and saw Adams.

Summer was a little surprised. “Adams?”

After Adams explained everything about that dinner, Summer did not hate him that much.

Adams wore a long dark checked coat and a white turtleneck sweater. He did not fix his hair and let it hang limply over his forehead. He looked warm and kind in this way.

He looked at Summer’s suitcase and asked, “Where are you going?”

“I just returned from a business trip in Middleburg.” Then Summer noticed that Adams didn’t have an assistant, an agent, or a suitcase around him. “What about you?”

“I just came back from a program in the other city. There were no more tickets, so they took the next flight back.” Adams looked around and said, “Didn’t Leonardo come to pick you up?”

“Maybe he hasn’t got here. I have to call him.”

At this moment, Summer’s phone rang and she got a new text.

It was from Leonardo. “I have something to do. Tim will pick you up.”

Summer’s face turned cold slightly, and she replied to Leonardo with the word “OK”.

This small change in her expression did not escape Adams’ eyes, “There will be a traffic jam when you go back. If Leonardo hasn’t come, I can drive you back now.”

Summer nodded. “Adams, sorry for that. And thank you.”

Adams took out a mask and put it on. Then he took over the suitcase in Summer’s hand. “Follow me.”

Summer wanted to say that she could take it herself. But Adams had walked far away, so she had to follow up.

Feeling that a few girls were looking at Adams, she suddenly remembered that Adams was a celebrity. What if someone recognized him…

Thus, she slowed down and deliberately lagged behind Adams by a certain distance.

Adams put Summer’s suitcase in the car. He turned around and saw Summer sneaking over like a thief. He couldn’t help but laugh. “You look more suspicious in this gesture.”
