Predestined Marriage
Chapter 69 I’m Sorry

During dinner, Summer felt something was wrong with "Douglas".

His face was cold and hard most of the time. He looked intimidating when he didn't speak.

However, Summer could tell he was in a bad mood.

Summer put some fish into his bowl and said, "Try this. I used some pepper. I wonder if you like it."

"Douglas" took it out and threw it on the table.

Summer thought if she did something to annoy him.

But she thought she didn't. Could it be that he was angry because she threw her bag at him?

No, he wouldn't be angry at such things.

Feeling her gaze, Leonardo suddenly raised his head and said, "Where did you go last Friday?"

"What?" Busy avoiding his gaze, she did not hear what he said.

Leonardo put down his chopsticks and fixed his gaze at her. He said slowly and clearly, "Where did you go and who did you meet last Friday?"

Summer froze. She looked up at him, "What do you mean?"

His interrogation made her uncomfortable.

He smiled and said coldly, "Do you feel guilty? Are you cheating on my cousin?"

"What nonsense!" Although he had joked about it before, he went too far this time.

Summer threw her chopsticks on the table and stood up. "Even if I was sold to your family for 300 million yuan, it doesn't mean anyone here can judge me."

Then she stormed off.

She even bumped into the doorframe. She was furious.

Leonardo lost his appetite. When he put down the chopsticks, his phone rang.

It was from Tim. "Mr. Emerson, I've emailed you the CCTV footage."

"OK." Leonardo hung up the phone and went to the study.

The video was taken in a drug store.

Other than a doctor who gave her some medicine, there were two other men in the footage.

One of them wore a mask and a cap. Leonardo recognized him at a glance. It was Adams.

The drug store was very close to the suburbs. Summer would not go there. The Jarrett Group was now focused on household goods. She didn't need to go there to do her job.

In the video, Summer grabbed Adams's arm, obviously asking for help.

Then she was taken away by Adams.

The rest of the video showed Summer got off the car when they arrived downtown. They only said a few words.

Leonardo paused the video where Summer took several steps and turned around. He wanted to see what she had said. But the video had been zoomed in. He could only see that she said something. But what she said he didn't know.

Leonardo turned off the computer and rubbed his eyes.

He found himself acting weird these days.

Adams only asked about Summer, and he thought something happened between them.

Summer woke up from hunger at midnight.

She regretted leaving the table with an empty belly.

She got out of bed and put on a warm down coat. She planned to replace something to eat.

It was quiet at night. Because the villa was built on the hill, she could hear the wind blowing outside.

She quickly went into the kitchen. She found some vegetables and tomatoes and wanted to make some noodles.

Just as she was chopping the tomatoes, she felt a chill down her back, as if someone was behind her.

She blinked her eyes. When she gathered her courage to look back, she heard a cold voice from behind, "What are you doing?"

It gave Summer quite a start. The knife in her hand fell on her feet.

Fortunately, she was wearing thick cotton shoes.

When Leonardo saw the knife fall, his heart skipped a beat. He squatted down to see if she was hurt. Knowing she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. He said in a deep voice, "Stupid woman!" Summer had regained her composure. She picked up the knife and glared at "Douglas". She said while washing the knife, "It must be hard for you to eat food cooked by a stupid woman. I think it's better that I stop cooking tomorrow and move out until Leonardo comes back. What do you think?"

Summer put the knife back and turned around to look at "Douglas" seriously.

She had had enough of this man.

He had helped her, and she was grateful to him. But that didn't mean he could do everything he wanted to her.

"No," Leonardo's face darkened and he said coldly, "Are you trying to make Leonardo think I drove you away?" "Whatever." Summer lowered her head. She didn't want to argue with him anymore.

But Leonardo could see every expression on her face from where he stood.

She got up in the middle of the night, so her hair was a little wild. She zipped her clothes all the way to her neck. Her face was glowing under the light. But she looked depressed with droopy eyelids. After a long while, Summer heard him saying, "I'm sorry for what happened before."

"What? Say it again?" Summer looked up at "Douglas" with astonishment.

Was he apologizing to her?

But "Douglas" would not say it again. He glanced at the tomatoes on the chopping board and said, "I want to eat, too."

Summer was not angry, but she dissed out of habit, "I put poison in it. Do you still want it?"

Leonardo looked at her. "You eat, I eat."
