Predestined Marriage
Chapter 225: After All, I Am Mrs. Emerson

Surprised, Karen looked at the person in the car.

The light was dim, and she couldn't see his face clearly.

The car door then opened. He got off and walked to Karen, "Auntie, it's me, Jerome."

"Jerome?"

Karen felt him familiar at the first glance.

She carefully checked him out and discovered that he was Jerome Patel, who had been engaged to Vicky.

Jerome had been to the Jarrett's several times. Karen remembered him. He was a handsome young man. Otherwise, he would not earn Vicky's favor.

Afterwards, Vicky contacted less with him and fell in love with an actor.

"It's so late. Why is Auntie here?"

Embarrassed, Karen hesitated.

Though she said nothing, Jerome had got his suspicions.

"My home is not far from here. If Auntie doesn't mind, you can go to my house tonight." Seeing Karen was somewhat embarrassed, Jerome added considerately, "It's my own house."

It was definitely not decent for Karen to go to Jerome's house now.

But hearing that it was his own house, Karen smiled, "It may disturb you...."

"No, it won't." As he said, he opened the car door for her.

Karen smiled and got into the car.

Along the way, they chatted.

Somehow, Jerome talked about Summer.

He pretended to be calm, "I haven't seen Summer for a long time. How is she?"

"You know Summer?" Karen was surprised, but she then remembered that Vicky had complained to her that Summer wanted to steal her boyfriend.

And at that time, Jerome was Vicky's boyfriend.

Summer had liked Jerome?

"Yeah, I'm ahead of her in school. I've known her for a long time." A trace of nostalgia hid in his tone-he seemed to have a good relationship with Summer. Karen couldn't help but ask, "So, you take me in because of Vicky or Summer?"

"Of course Summer," he added, "she is a good girl."

They had arrived at the hood.

Jerome stopped the car and opened the door for Karen, "We have arrived."

He opened the trunk and said, "Please wait for me. I want to get something."

Jerome took the things and led the way ahead.

Following him, Karen stared at his figure and thought what if he was her son-in-law.

Such a polite and refined young man was much better than Leonardo.

Thinking of Leonardo, she trembled before continuing to walk forward.

The next day.

When Summer entered the dining room, she immediately saw Eliza who was serving breakfast.

She didn't seek for Eliza, but Eliza was too conspicuous.

Although Eliza wanted to steal her husband, Summer had to admit that Eliza was beautiful. She was elegant and had put on makeup. Even if she had worn the uniform, she looked prominent. After what happened yesterday, Eliza had calmed down and planned to take her time step by step.

Seeing Summer in, she nodded slightly, "Mrs. Emerson."

Leonardo was already sitting at the dining table.

Recently, she got up a little late. Leonardo had to get up early and go to work. But usually after Leonardo finished his breakfast did Summer get up.

Sometimes, Leonardo would leave before she got up.

As soon as she sat down, Leonardo said, "I might come back late today because of the court."

Leonardo was talking about Vicky's case.

She was charged with intentional assault, but Summer was not injured.

However, Warren was the lawyer, so Vicky would definitely be sentenced.

Summer thought for a while, "I'll go with you."

She just wanted to see if Vicky had a trace of regret.

Leonardo frowned, "I go alone."

Summer changed her face. She put down the spoon and squinted at Leonardo.

She thought that this request wasn't too much, so why didn't Leonardo refuse?

Moreover, Eliza was still here. He made her lose face!

The other reason why she kept Eliza here was to see if Leonardo was constant in love.

She trusted him, but she would occasionally feel uneasy as well.

After all, she was not good enough for Leonardo.

All of her confidence was based on his love.

Leonardo's eyebrows were knitted more tightly, "It's cold outside. And it's not convenient for you to go out."

Summer made no concession, "I can put on more clothes. The doctor said I am healthy."

Leonardo had asked her not to go out and she had taken it to heart. They did not mention that matter, but it did not mean it had passed.

Leonardo looked up at her for seconds, "Then I'll go back to pick you."

Thinking of what had happened before, Summer was a little upset. She lowered her head to have the breakfast and urged him to work, "Alright, you go to work." Leonardo pursed his lips and left with a cold face.

Not until Leonardo left did Eliza glanced at Summer sneeringly.

In her opinion, Summer was too self-righteous. She actually dared to defy Leonardo.

Feeling someone looking at her, Summer raised her head and smiled, "I know what you're thinking."

Eliza changed her face at first. She then soon recovered, "Are you?"

She didn't believe it.

"Everyone thought Leonardo outstanding, so it's not hard to understand why you are so keen on him, but...."

Summer paused and became serious, "Everyone is an individual, not an appendage to anyone. With my own thoughts and living method, why must I belittle myself while being with a man more prominent than me?"

Eliza slightly changed her face. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Summer felt somewhat amused, "You might not be infatuated with Leonardo too much but just think that it is glorious to be Mrs. Emerson. However, since so many women had the same idea with you, why would you think Leonardo would fall in love with you?"

Eliza was seen through by Summer and turned exasperated, "Shut up, Summer! No need to be high-sounding. You are the same as me!"

Summer curled her lips, "Of course not. After all, I am Mrs. Emerson."

Seeing Eliza's face scarlet, Summer thought it amusing.
