Predestined Marriage
Chapter 219: Instigation

What Leonardo asked her to repeat must be this.

'Instead, I'll love him more.'

How would she say such a thing?

How would she say this in front of Leonardo?

Summer was angry with herself. She shook off Leonardo's hand and walked forward.

Leonardo followed her with a smile on his face and grabbed her hand, "Slow down."

"I like to walk fast." Summer tried to shake off his hand, but in vain. Then they walked forward hand in hand.

They met Jessica at the corner of the corridor.

Jessica shouted at the sight of Summer, "Summer, you're pregnant now. I'm so worried about you. What took you so long? You didn't even answer my phone. I'm...." The words caught in her throat when she saw Leonardo.

She frowned and cleared her throat, saying in a soft voice, "Don't do this again."

Summer was shocked by Jessica's sweet voice and said, "Don't freak out. I am a person, and please don't torture me."

Jessica said, "How could I not freak out? You're having a baby now."

She felt dejected. She just wanted to have a dinner with Summer, but many bad things happened one by one. It was really....

They returned to the private room and finally could had dinner.

During meal time, Jessica asked, "Summer, where did you go? Didn't you go to the bathroom? Why did you leave?"

"I happened to see Leonardo. He was having dinner with his family elders. He saw me and then took me to meet them." Summer looked down and lied.

Leonardo glanced at her and didn't say anything.

"Oh, I see." Jessica didn't doubt it.

After meal, Jessica suddenly realized that Leonardo was the only heir of the Emerson family. Summer didn't need to see anyone in the Emerson family, except Leonardo's father and grandfather. Perhaps Summer was referring to Charlie.

On the way back, both Leonardo and Summer were silent.

When they were about to arrive home, Summer said, "I came out of the bathroom and met Adams. He said that he couldn't get in touch with Vicky for a day. He also said that Vicky was impulsive and would do something stupid. So he guessed that you had caught her."

There was no need to elaborate on what happened later, because any smart person could imagine it.

Summer had guessed that it was Vicky who had hit her. If Leonardo caught Vicky, he would definitely make her wish to die.

This was the truth. If Summer hadn't rushed over, Vicky might still be suffering pain now.

Hearing Summer's words, Leonardo only asked, "Adams came to see you?"

"Yes." Summer looked at him with confusion.

The car was speeding on the mountain road. The night was pitch dark.

Although Summer couldn't see Leonardo's face clearly, she knew he was unhappy.

At that time, Summer was worried that Leonardo would kill Vicky, so she didn't think too much about it.

But Leonardo's question alarmed her.

At that time, Vicky suddenly drove to hit Summer. When that incident happened, there was no one around. Leonardo made a call and then sent Summer to the hospital.

Leonardo was thoughtful, so he must make the call to ask his subordinates to catch Vicky.

Vicky was seriously injured, and Leonardo's subordinates were very capable. Therefore, Vicky had been kept for a day, but the Jarretts didn't know it.

It was Adams who came to Summer first.

Then this thing was clear.

Adams instigated Vicky to hit Summer, and then he came to see Summer and let her see Leonardo's cruelty.

It wasn't a seamless plan. If Summer was timid, she would definitely be scared.

Then the conflict between her and Leonardo would intensify.

However, what good would it do for Adams?

Was it that Adams just didn't want Leonardo to live happily? He did that just to make Leonardo unhappy?

Summer knew what kind of person Leonardo was. And in fact, Vicky wasn't innocent.

Although Summer didn't agree with Leonardo's approach, she could understand it.

She suddenly thought of something and looked at Leonardo, "Last time, you used this approach to force Vicky to clarify the marriage certificate thing in front of the media?" "Yes," Leonardo admitted.

Summer sighed.

She couldn't say he was wrong, because his motive was good.

But he also wasn't right. Actually, it was wrong to fight violence with more violence.

She thought for a while and said, "I know there are some things that can't be solved by reasoning with others, but violence is not the only viable solution."

Leonardo said without turning around, "I only use the most effective method."

Summer was angry and smiled, "So when you wanted me to get pregnant, you just kept me in the villa?"

After this, the atmosphere in the car grew tense.

There was a squeal of the brake.

The car suddenly stopped, and inertia caused Summer to lean forward.

Leonardo leaned over to hug her and helped her stabilize.

He asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Summer pushed him away and got out of the car.

The car was parked only ten meters away from the villa.

As soon as Summer got off the car, she saw several cars parked outside the villa.

'Someone came to visit us?'

She ignored Leonardo and walked into the villa.

As soon as they entered, a row of bodyguards bowed and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Emerson."

Ava trotted out from the villa and said, "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson. Mr. Charlie has been waiting for you since afternoon." Why was Charlie here again?

Summer turned to look at Leonardo with a puzzled expression.

Leonardo seemed to know why Charlie came here and said, "The hospital that we went to today belongs to the Emerson family."

Now Summer understood why Charlie came here. He must already know that she was pregnant.

Summer didn't feel strange.

When Charlie heard the commotion outside, he walked to the hall and said loudly, "Come in. Why are you still standing in the courtyard? It's such a cold day!" Summer glanced at Leonardo and then ran towards the hall.

Leonardo frowned and followed behind, "Summer, be careful!"

As soon as Charlie saw Summer, he pulled her inside and said, "It's so cold outside. Come in. It's warm in the room."

Summer smiled, "Grandfather, I'm not cold."

As soon as they entered the living room, a row of maids bowed and said, "Mrs. Emerson."

Summer was confused. Why were there many new maids?"
