Predestined Marriage
Chapter 287 Adams

Leonardo remained silent, and Summer's face also turned cold.

She took a deep breath and covered her face with her hands, trying to hide her tears.

Without saying a word, Leonardo reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

Summer resisted, but he didn't let her go.

They had just taken a long-distance flight, and they were already tired. Summer fell asleep soon.

Leonardo carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the bed.

He had slept in this bedroom for half a year, and now he finally had a hostess at home.

Leonardo looked at Summer by the bed for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom to get a towel and cleaned her face.

Summer had cried before, and there were still traces of tears on her face. It might not be good if he didn't wipe them off.

Just as he was cleaning Summer's face, Leonardo's phone rang.

He hurriedly took out his phone and turned it off.

He turned to look at Summer and found that she was not disturbed. Only then did he stand up and gently picked up his phone and went out to answer the phone.

The call came from Tim.

During the days in Sydney, Tim was busy investigating the child, but he found nothing.

After all, it was a newborn baby, and it was too hard to replace.

Leonardo walked to the French window, answered the phone, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any progress?"

"I have found some clues, but I'm not sure whether it has a direct connection with people from the Emersons for the time being..." Tim said.

Tim couldn't explain it clearly on the phone.

Leonardo pondered for a moment and said, "Come in and talk to me."

Time arrived quickly.

When he entered, he respectfully called out, "Mr. Emerson."

Leonardo looked at him and gestured for him to keep it down.

Afterwards, he instructed Tim, "Go to the study first."

Tim nodded and went straight to the study.

Leonardo went back to the bedroom to take a look. Seeing that Summer was sleeping peacefully, he closed the door and went to the study.

The bedroom door was just closed. Summer, who was still asleep on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.

Previously, when Leonardo cleaned her face, she had already woken up. She was just pretending to be sleeping.

It was strange that Leonardo had never allowed her to see the child.

Although Leonardo was cold and indifferent, he treated her well. It was strange that he still insisted on not letting her see the child.

She got out of bed gently, opened the bedroom door and walked out.

Previously, she had heard a heavy sound of doors opening and closing outside. That should be the sound of the door of the apartment, so that she could feel it in the bedroom. Summer walked to the entrance and took a look. Sure enough, she saw a pair of men's shoes which were not belonging to Leonardo.

Other than Carl, the man who could come to the house to replace Leonardo was Tim.

As for Carl, he was somewhat noisy. If he came to here, it would not be so quiet.

In that case, the man could only be Tim.

Summer glanced at the door of the study and leaned over gently.

The door to the study was wooden, and the sound of opening the door was very quiet.

Through the crack in the door, she saw Leonardo standing face to face with Tim.

"Mr. Emerson, this is the information regarding unusual financial transaction of the Emersons that I found out. Among them, a sum of money was transferred to a foreign account by Mr. Adams. I think this may have something to do with the disappearance of the young miss." Tim handed a document to Leonardo.

Leonardo did not say anything about this. After a moment of silence, he said, "What about others?"

Tim gathered up the information and shook his head. "No one else was found any abnormality in the flow of funds for the time being," he said.

They began to talk about something else, but Summer did not quite understand.

She closed the door, and felt a little confused.

She knew Adams.

However, who was the "young miss" that Tim mentioned? Was she their daughter?

Didn't Leonardo secretly send someone to swap the child away?

However, what did Adams have to do with her daughter's disappearance?

After replaceing out that the child had disappeared, she first thought of Leonardo. That was because she could not think of anyone else who would take the child away other than Leonardo.

If Adams had sent someone to take the child away, then what was Adams trying to do?

Just to stand against Leonardo?

If it was really Adams, what would he do to her daughter?

A chill ran in from Summer's limbs, causing her to tremble.

If Leonardo had taken the child away, he could at least guarantee that the child would be safe.

But what if it was really Adams?

Summer staggered and reached out to the wall for support before she could barely stand firm.

She didn't dare to imagine what Adams would do to her daughter...

Summer suddenly realized that she was still standing by the door and hurriedly ran back into the bedroom.

There was no need to pretend to be sleeping anymore. She sat on the bed with her phone in her hand, pretending that she had just woken up and was hooked on the phone.

When Leonardo pushed open the door and entered, he saw Summer leaning against the bed and concentrating on her phone.

Leonardo sat down beside the bed and said, "You are awake."

Summer did not raise her head, "Yes."

Although she had always been staring at her phone, she was quietly observing Leonardo's reaction.

Leonardo raised his hand slightly, seemingly wanting to touch her head, but he only raised it for a few seconds before withdrawing it.

Then, she heard Leonardo's calm voice, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Summer raised her eyes to look at him, "Can you cook?"

Leonardo did not expect Summer to ask him, or perhaps he did not expect Summer to speak to him so calmly. He was stunned for a moment and coughed softly, "I won't. I'll ask the Golden Cauldron Club to send it over."

Summer said, "Is there any ingredient in the fridge? I'll cook myself."

Leonardo shook his head.

"Then let's go out and buy some ingredients together." Summer lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

Leonardo hurriedly stood up without any movement, but his eyes were staring straight at Summer.

Summer actually wanted to go out with him to buy food ingredients.

Although this wasn't a big deal in the past, after such a long period of "cold war", Leonardo was somewhat flattered.

Summer put on her slippers and saw he was still standing there staring blankly at her. She asked, "What's wrong? I can't go out."

Leonardo did not say anything and led her outside.

Leonardo drove her to the nearby supermarket.

Summer knew what Leonardo liked to eat, so she didn't need to ask him about the ingredients and directly put them in the shopping cart.

Leonardo silently pushed the shopping cart behind her. He was clearly a tall, cold, and handsome man, but his appearance was as obedient and docile as a tamed lion.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
