Predestined Marriage -
Chapter 203: Only Things Related to Summer Can Make You This Anxious
After Jessica said so, she walked over and held Summer's arm.
As they were about to leave, Leonardo stood up and quickly walked in front of Summer. He held her hand and said, "Come home with me."
"I don't want to." Summer shook off his hand without even looking at him, her expression extremely cold.
A trace of gloominess flashed through Leonardo's pearl-like eyes. He tightened his jaw, and looked like he was suppressing his feelings. He clenched his hands into fists, then loosened them, and then clenched them tightly again...
Finally, he opened his mouth slightly and said softly in a low voice as if he was speaking to a child, "I'll pick you up in a few days."
He said it in an unquestionable tone. He was not asking for Summer's opinion, but informing her.
"Let's go." Summer ignored him and pulled Jessica out.
Carl looked at Leonardo and hesitated.
"I'll see them off." After saying that, Carl left the room.
And Leonardo was the only one left in the room.
He stood there motionlessly for a long time and then he slowly sat down on the sofa.
He bent his arms and placed his elbows on his knees. He supported his forehead with one hand and slightly leaned forward, looking very tired. He even looked a bit fragile.
Carl's address was still unknown to the media.
However, he still stood at the entrance of the community for a long time to make sure there wasn't any reporter before letting Jessica and Summer leave.
He wanted to drive them to Jessica's place, but Leonardo was still at his home. So he could only watch as Jessica's car left. He waited at the entrance of the community for a few minutes to make sure that no one followed them before walking back.
However, he bumped into Leonardo at the elevator.
Leonardo walked out of the elevator with a cold expression. He looked at Carl and said, "I may need to bother you for the next few days."
Carl understood what he was referring to.
Summer obviously didn't want to see Leonardo now, so he could only ask Carl to take care of her.
Carl said half-jokingly, "You have been bothering me all the time. I wouldn't be used to it when you stop bothering me someday." Leonardo didn't reply and walked towards the door.
Carl hurriedly stopped him, "What exactly happened this time? Is it really because of Adams?"
Leonardo paused for a moment, but left without answering Carl's questions.
After driving out of the community, Leonardo called Adams.
Adams immediately answered the phone. As if he was anxious to receive Leonardo's phone call.
"You finally called me?" Adams said slowly and he seemed to be smiling.
Leonardo's voice was ice-cold, "Where shall we meet?"
"My home."
Leonardo hung up the phone and drove directly to Adams' house.
When Adams came to open the door, Leonardo grabbed his shirt and pushed him into the house. Then Leonardo closed the door behind him.
"Why did you do that? If you want anything, you can come for me!" Leonardo said angrily with an extremely gloomy face.
Adams was grabbed by Leonardo, and his shirt collar tightly tied around his neck. His face became red, but his expression was still calm.
It seemed as if Leonardo was not grabbing his collar and they were still good buddies.
"Coming for you? It's useless," Adams smiled faintly and said with a strange tone, "It wouldn't bother you at all. Only things related to Summer can make you so anxious." Leonardo's expression became even darker. He threw Adams to the ground. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he still didn't feel relieved. But he didn't make another move. He didn't show any mercy this time. Adams was ruthlessly thrown to the ground. His expression changed because of the pain, and he didn't look calm anymore.
He coughed a few times before saying, "Looks like I made the right bet."
"What kind of man are you to bully a woman?" Leonardo gritted his teeth and said.
"As long as it works." Adams laughed again, which looked extremely annoying to Leonardo.
Leonardo stared at him for a few seconds, "Did you hear the conversation between Grandfather and Michael at the tea house that day? Is that why you did all this?"
He didn't know which word in this sentence stimulated Adams, but Adam's face instantly turned as pale as a piece of paper.
He pressed his chest and coughed badly. He looked panicked, "What do you know?"
"What are you afraid that I would know?" Leonardo approached him step by step, not showing any emotions on his face.
After the two of them confronted each other for a while, Adams suddenly laughed out loudly. He looked almost insane, and completely lost his usual elegance.
"You know nothing about it. You'll never know what you want to know," Adams' tone was firm. After saying that, he turned around and staggered back to his room.
Summer and Jessica arrived at Jessica's home safely.
"What do you want to drink?" Jessica asked as she handed Summer the slippers.
Summer took the slippers and shook her head.
After entering the room, Summer sat on the sofa motionlessly with a pillow in her arms.
Jessica poured a glass of water and handed it to Summer. Then, she sat down beside Summer and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Summer held the glass and curled up on the sofa. She told Jessica about what happened recently and her speculations.
"It's unlikely...." Jessica scratched her hair irritably, "Adams and Boss should be getting along pretty well. How could he do such a thing? There's no reason for that." "True." Summer nodded in agreement.
Even an outsider like Jessica felt that Adams wouldn't do such a thing, let alone Leonardo.
She was different from them from the beginning.
Jessica came from a harmonious family. Leonardo had been kidnapped, but he still had his father, grandfather, and other relatives.
However, she was like an outsider in the Jarretts since childhood. She had no sense of belonging to the Jarretts. She had no relative and only one friend, Jessica. She had to be independent and brave since she was little, which made her develop a very sensitive personality.
She trusted her own judgment.
Also, Leonardo did not deny it. So it must be Adams who did it.
Seeing that Summer was a bit upset, Jessica hugged her and said, "I didn't mean that. Summer, don't be sad...."
"I'm just a little tired." Summer tried to smile but realized that she couldn't.
She couldn't even put on a fake smile.000000
