Predestined Marriage
Chapter 364 How did I Spoil Her?

Amber did not expect Leonardo would say this, so her expression changed abruptly. "What do you mean?"

"Can't you understand such simple sentences? I mean you should no longer take care of Rosie." Leonardo frowned slightly and his tone became colder.

He was growing impatient.

"No matter what, I am your fiancée and Rosie's real mother. How can you talk to me like this?!" Amber was infuriated by him and her voice rose considerably, no longer as calm and elegant as usual. She had had enough of all this for three years.

Even a piece of ice should be melted by now.

However, Leonardo didn't soften his attitude towards her at all, just like a rock.

"First, it's Kate who said you were my fiancée, which has nothing to do with me. Second, if you weren't Rosie's real mother, do you think you could sit here and talk to me like this now?" Leonardo's tone was extremely cold and showed no pity at all.

With a pale face, Amber was speechless for a long time. She picked up her bag and went out.

Just as she arrived at the gate, she bumped into Kate.

Kate hurried to stop her. "Amber? Where are you going? It's so late, you might stay here tonight."

Amber cautiously looked inside and pulled Kate to a corner outside the gate where nobody could see them.

Under the dim streetlights, Kate saw Amber's red eyes and her expression changed slightly. "What happened?" "Kate, I really can't stand Leonardo anymore. He's numb with no feelings...."

Amber told Kate what Leonardo had said just now.

Kate pondered without saying anything.

"You shouldn't have brought Rosie back that year. Leonardo is nicer to her than me!" Amber exhaled in a depressed mood.

"Don't say that. Rosie is Leonardo's daughter." In Kate's heart, kinship was of great importance.

Leonardo didn't remember what happened in the past. Kate thought he would at least have a special feeling towards her after she told him that Amber was Rosie's biological mother. Unexpectedly, Leonardo was pretty good to Rosie, but remained cold to Amber.

In the past three years, there had been no change at all.

It was exactly because of this that Kate deliberately released news to the media that Amber was Leonardo's fiancée.

Although Amber was dissatisfied with Kate's reply, she did not say anything. She just said with fatigue, "I'm a little tired today, and will go back first."

"Let me ask the driver to take you home. Don't worry, I'll replace a way." As Kate spoke, she reached out and patted Amber on the shoulder.

After seeing Amber leave, Kate entered the house.

Leonardo was having dinner and a highchair was beside him. Rosie was holding a small powder-blue bowl with fruit.

As soon as she saw Kate walking in, she called sweetly, "Auntie."

"Rosie, are you eating fruit?" Kate smiled and walked over.

Rosie reached out with a fork and handed a piece of watermelon to Kate. "Auntie, have some."

Kate hesitated as she watched the fruit in the bowl, which was mashed up by Rosie and covered with her saliva.

She smiled and held Rosie's chubby little hand, pushing the fruit to Rosie's mouth while saying, "Rosie eats it. The more you eat, the more beautiful you will be."

Hearing what Kate said, Leonardo turned to look at her and whispered, "Rosie, give Daddy a piece of apple."

When Rosie heard this, her eyes lit up. She stuffed the watermelon into her mouth and then forked a piece of apple into Leonardo's mouth.

Leonardo opened his mouth and ate. "Finish the rest by yourself."

With the encouragement, Rosie directly threw away the fork and grabbed the fruit with both hands.

Kate wanted to stop her, but was interrupted by Leonardo. "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"No."

Leonardo said carelessly, "Then go and eat. Don't worry about Rosie."

When Kate entered the dining room, a servant had already taken out the cutlery and placed it opposite from Leonardo's seat.

After finishing the fruit in the bowl quickly, Rosie tugged at Leonardo's sleeve and lifted the bowl high. "Daddy, I finished."

With the fruit in her mouth, her chubby cheeks bulged a lot.

Leonardo found it interesting and reached out to pinch her face.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Rosie stretched out her hand to pat Leonardo's hand.

Leonardo withdrew his hand and a servant took a tissue to wipe the juice from the corner of Rosie's mouth.

Rosie refused and stretched out her hands towards Leonardo, wanting him to carry her out of the booster seat.

"Let me do it." Leonardo took the tissue from the servant's hand and cleaned Rosie's mouth. He carried her out and put her on his lap. "Sit down." Rosie sat down obediently without moving.

Leonardo continued eating.

Looking at the father and daughter, Kate had mixed feelings and said seriously, "Don't pamper her. The child is young and will be spoiled easily." Rosie was studying Leonardo's throat. When he ate, his Adam's apple would move, so Rosie reached out to touch it out of curiosity.

Leonardo stopped her by holding her hands and looked down at her as a warning. Rosie could only lean obediently into his arms and remained silent. Afterwards, Leonardo looked up at Kate and asked indifferently, "How did I spoil her?"

Kate choked on her words. Looking at Leonardo's poker face and Rosie, who was quiet and obedient in his arms, she pursed her lips without speaking. Leonardo finished his meal, only to replace that Rosie was falling asleep with her head down.

He gently carried her upstairs and put her on the bed.

Just as he put her down, she mumbled in her sleep. Leonardo reached out and quieted her down by patting her on the back.

The chubby little girl on the bed was snoring lightly, looking like a cute piggy.

Leonardo remembered that when he woke up, he didn't remember anything. He seemed to have never cared much about his daughter, who was brought up by servants. Until one day, when he came back from work, the little girl toddled towards him and gave him a kiss.

Perhaps it was because she was related to him by blood.

He did not remember how he had been with Amber in the past, nor did he have any feelings for her, but he felt that Rosie was very important to him.

After making sure that Rosie was asleep, Leonardo went out and gently closed the door.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Kate. Obviously, she had been waiting here for a long time.

"Leonardo, I have something to talk with you."

Leonardo put his hands into the pockets of his suit pants, looking a little unconcerned. "If it is related to Amber, you don't have to say it. I'm tired of this."

"What's wrong with Amber? She falls head over heels in love with you and is also Rosie's mother. Moreover, she is not young any more...."

Leonardo interrupted her, "You're also not young any more. You should think about getting married first."

"Leonardo, you......"‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
