Predestined Marriage
Chapter 234: It's More Important to Eat with You

Then Summer was dumbfounded.

She muttered, "Leonardo?"

The driver reacted quickly. He got out of the car and opened the back door for Leonardo.

Then Leonardo sat down in the car. Seeing Summer's surprised expression, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her head. With a smile, he said, "I saw you earlier."

Summer was shocked, "How did you see me?"

"I saw the car." Leonardo stretched out his hand and held Summer into his arms lightly.

Then he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. He held her hand in his, "You can come to me directly. Otherwise, you may go back and get angry with me if I don't see you." Hearing this, Summer pulled her hand back, "I'm so stingy? When did I get angry with you for such a trifle?"

"Well, no." Leonardo nodded seriously.

Summer clenched her fists and hit him.

She didn't have much strength, so it didn't hurt him.

Leonardo grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go to lunch."

He was sure that Summer had not eaten yet when she came for him at that time.

"I saw you get in the car with your father before. What are you going to do? Is it OK if you stay with me?" Summer did not want to interfere with his business.

"It's more important to eat with you." As Leonardo spoke, he stretched his hand towards her belly and said, "You can't be hungry, since you're carrying a baby." Summer glared at him. But Leonardo wore a bigger smile on his face.

...

They had lunch in a restaurant.

Leonardo ordered all the dishes that Summer liked.

Her taste hadn't changed much lately, so Leonardo ordered according to her previous preferences.

Summer was a little hungry, so she started eating soon after the dishes were served.

However, Leonardo did not eat much. Summer stuffed a potato chip into her mouth and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

"I've eaten," Leonardo said as he put a piece of chicken into her plate.

Summer's appetite had indeed grown recently. The dishes Leonardo ordered were her likes, and in the end, she had eaten more than half of them.

She thought that Adams had terminated his contract with Tip Top Media Company. Then she couldn't help but ask, "I saw the hot topic on Weibo. Did you propose to cancel the contract?" She didn't mention Adams. But Leonardo naturally knew who she meant.

"Yes."

Upon mentioning Adams, the joy and relaxation on Leonardo's face faded away. And then he turned gloomy slightly.

Adams went to the court. So, it meant that he had prepared to get Vicky out.

Since Adams had cared nothing and had to stand against him, there was no need for Leonardo to show any mercy. But this was just the beginning.

Summer fell silent when she received Leonardo's affirmative answer.

Leonardo took the initiative to cancel the contract with Adams. This was a signal that they had officially broken off.

Summer recalled the emotional Weibo post Leonardo wrote.

She frowned slightly and whispered to Leonardo, "Didn't you talk to Ada... him again? Perhaps he has some unspeakable bitterness?"

She had just gotten used to saying "Adams".

Leonardo pondered for a while before he stared at Summer affectionately, "Summer, you should know better than me that bitterness is not a reason for a person to put down his self-esteem and reduce himself into the mud."

Adams lost his demeanor completely after he had done all of this and mixed up with Vicky.

Leonardo didn't seem to be very sad. Instead, he felt extremely sorry for Adams.

Summer couldn't explain this feeling. After all, Leonardo was a very difficult person to understand, and neither was Adams.

In this world, probably everyone had his own bitterness, but the bitterness was not a reason for a person to do evil.

No one could shake Leonardo since he had made a decision.

As soon as the news of Adams and Tip Top canceling the contract came out, the major media reported it one after another.

And some influential users of Weibo posted about this.

There were many talks about this matter for several days in a row.

However, Summer found that many different people followed the event, including common internet users and Adams' fans. But some people followed it because of the founder of Tip Top, XN.

"Mr. Adams and Tip Top Media Company peacefully terminated the contract. Please no more wild speculation. We had worked together for ten years. Good luck." XN, the founder of Tip Top posted such words on Weibo the day the event was exposed.

This simple and brief Weibo post was retweeted tens of thousands of times.

Some netizens even made a deep analysis of this post.

"I feel that XN is so helpless."

"I can't understand why Adams suddenly wants to cancel the contract with Tip Top."

"I think it's still what we guessed. Adams went solo because he wanted to make much money for himself..."

"I predict that Adams, who left Tip Top, will not necessarily be more glorious than before."

Everyone seemed to believe that it was Adams who initiatively terminated the contract with Tip Top.

After all, in people's eyes, the company was profit-oriented. So, Tip Top wouldn't take the initiative to cancel the contract with Adams, the cash cow.

Naturally, they assumed that Adams wanted to terminate the contract.

Moreover, on the day the news came out, Tip Top tried to guide the public opinion that "Adams volunteered to cancel the contract."

Netizens also tacitly acknowledged that Adams had offered to terminate the contract.

Seeing that Tip Top had guided the trend, Adams did not explain too much. He just made a long post to express his gratitude to Tip Top and to "founder XN". And his post received countless likes.

It was close to the end of the year when this news was not a hot topic anymore. And many companies allowed their employees to take vacations one after another. During that period, an officer of the Public Security Bureau contacted Summer once and told her that they'd found Karen. And Summer was asked to go there. Summer called Lynn, but Lynn didn't answer her at all.

Summer had no choice but to make a trip to the Public Security Bureau.

As a result, she saw not only Karen, who was safe and sound, but also Jerome when Summer arrived.

Karen was dressed in a crimson coat with exquisite makeup. And she was carrying the latest bag of a famous brand. It seemed that it was not her who had disappeared.

When Jerome saw Summer, a smile appeared on his face. He greeted Sumer warmly, "Hi, Summer."

But Summer frowned and ignored Jerome. She walked over to Karen and asked, "Where have you been recently?"

Karen held Summer's hand and said with a warmhearted tone, "I haven't been anywhere lately. I stayed at Jerome's for a while after I quarreled with your father. I'm telling you that I was lucky. Jerome took care of me during those days. I'm grateful to him."

Summer was not used to being so close to Karen. She frowned again and pulled out her hand. Then she said coldly, "You go home since you're fine."☐☐☐☐
