Predestined Marriage
Chapter 369 She Didn't Dare to Leave

Rosie meekly handed the phone to Summer, "It's for you."

Summer took the phone and put it beside her ear, answering, "Mr. Emerson."

After she uttered his name, she suddenly realized that she had subconsciously exposed the fact that she knew who he was.

Leonardo did not seem to be surprised at all that Summer should know him. He only said in a deep voice, "Miss, please tell me the address. I will come and pick her up immediately."

His voice sounded very calm, carrying a condescending tone, which naturally caused people to unconsciously submit.

Summer replied, "Alright."

The moment she finished speaking, Leonardo hung up the phone.

Summer was a little surprised. Didn't he even have to say goodbye to Rosie?

He just hung up the phone?

At Emerson Group.

When the secretary walked into the president's office with a stack of materials, he happened to see Leonardo hang up the phone and was about to leave. He had stood up with his coat in hand.

Quickening his pace, the secretary walked close and said respectfully, "President, there will be a very important meeting in ten minutes."

"Put it off." Not even giving him a look, Leonardo left directly.

Since the president himself said that he was going to postpone the meeting, naturally, the secretary had nothing more to say.

The secretary followed Leonardo and asked, "When will it restart then?"

"When I come back." Leonardo stopped and glanced at his secretary. His slightly furrowed eyebrows betrayed him, he felt impatient now.

None of his secretaries and assistants was to his liking.

The secretary, being glared by him, immediately shut up, daring not to say anything anymore.

The driver hurriedly followed Leonardo when he saw he was going out.

But Leonardo just said indifferently, "There's no need to stay with me. I can drive myself."

"But Miss Kate said..."

"You work for me or her?" Hearing this, Leonardo turned around and looked at the driver with his eyes squinted, "I pay you, but you follow other's command?"

Seeing Leonardo's sullen look, the driver hurriedly explained, "No... It's not like this... President, it's just..."

Not in the mood to listen to his nonsense, Leonardo directly pushed him away and got into the car.

When he started the car, he called Kate.

He did not ask the woman over the phone about why she would be with Rosie.

He could guess a little even though he did not ask.

As soon as the phone was answered, Kate's dissatisfied voice came out, "Leonardo, I was about to call you. The meeting is about to start. Where are you now?"

Kate had worked in Emerson Group ever since Leonardo woke up three years ago,

But at this time, how could Leonardo have any mood to care about those meetings?

He was famous for being a workaholic.

But he also knew, between work and his daughter, what was more important.

"Don't ever let Amber enter the Emerson's. It is you, so I tell you first. If I see her in the Emerson's again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Leonardo, what are you talking about? Tell me where are you now? It is about to..." Kate didn't know what Leonardo was angry at. It was he who suddenly called her and said these words to her. Leonardo hung up the phone regardless of what Kate said.

After hanging up the phone, Leonardo found a traffic jam ahead, and he had to be stuck for a while.

He could only take out his phone and called the woman again.

Summer and Rosie waited in the restaurant for a while, but still did not see Leonardo. Instead, they received a phone call from him.

"I am stranded by a traffic jam. Please give me more time. Or, if it's really inconvenient for you, you can send her to the police station as well."

His voice did not reveal a slightest bit of nervousness. He was so calm that he did not look like a father who came to pick up his lost daughter. Summer said angrily, "It's very convenient for me."

Rosie was such a young child. How could he allow her to be sent to the police station?

After hanging up, Summer took Rosie away from the restaurant.

The main reason was that children usually couldn't sit still. They were by nature very active.

Leonardo had been stuck for quite a long time. By the time he came over, Summer had already taken Rosie to the park nearby.

When Summer and Rosie were squatting by the bushes in the park and watching ants moving, a deep and pleasant voice came from behind, "Rosie."

Rosie was so immersed in watching the ants that she failed to hear Leonardo's calling.

In fact, Summer was the first to turn around.

She saw a tall man striding towards them. His eyes were fixed on Rosie.

It was already late when Summer and Jessica finished shopping. Afterwards, she brought Rosie to dinner and then waited for Leonardo for a long time. Night already fell.

The street lights in the park lit up. The man's cold, hard face somehow looked much softer under the light.

Leonardo was a handsome man, but he was even more pleasing to look now.

Summer was stunned.

Leonardo approached them and then bent down slightly. He stretched out his arms and picked up Rosie, who was squatting on the ground.

Rosie was puzzled for a moment, and when she saw it was Leonardo who was holding her, she happily shouted, "Leonardo."

Lost for a moment, Summer pursed her lips, smiling.

Leonardo narrowed his eyes slightly and said unpleasantly, "Call me Dad."

"Daddy!" Rosie kissed him on the face playfully.

A trace of slight tenderness flashed through Leonardo's eyes.

He did not know who Rosie was like. Every time she would deliberately call his name, but would immediately change into Dad as long as he darkened his face, trying to be as meek and obedient as possible. He was very sure that she did not resemble him, nor did she take after Amber.

Leonardo touched her head and carefully examined her up and down. After confirming that she was safe and sound, he turned to look at the quiet woman who had been silent all this while.

With just a single glance, he felt that this woman was familiar to him.

But he couldn't at once figure out where he had seen her before.

Just being stared at by Leonardo made Summer feel strange somehow. She said, "Since you have come to pick Rosie up, I should go now."

Although she said so, she did not move.

It wasn't that she didn't want to leave, but that Leonardo didn't say that she could go, so she didn't dare to leave.

She didn't know why she was so afraid of this unfamiliar man, but that was the message that came from her brain.

It said, Leonardo didn't say anything, so she couldn't leave.

"Thank you very much for taking care of Rosie. What kind of reward do you want?"

Leonardo finally spoke. Although he was expressing his thanks, he looked expressionless, which did not make Summer feel like she was being thanked.

Summer shook her head, "No need. Whoever encounters this kind of thing won't just stand by. But, I think you have to take good care of your child from now on."☐☐☐☐☐☐
