Predestined Marriage
Chapter 395 Negotiation

Summer nodded to Stanley.

He glanced at Leonardo deeply before leaving.

After he went away, Tim left with his bodyguards.

Summer regained her senses and realized she and Leonardo were alone in the room.

He leaned against the sofa and looked at her with an unfathomable expression, his dark eyes fixed at her unblinkingly. He was so domineering that Summer was very uncomfortable. She folded her arms and said tentatively, "Mr. Emerson."

Leonardo pointed at the DNA report that he had previously shown to Kate and said coolly, "Take a look for yourself."

Fortunately, Summer was sitting opposite to Leonardo.

Having heard their conversation, Summer had a rough idea of what was going on.

However, when she saw the report, she was still surprised.

She was indeed Rosie's biological mother.

She looked up at Leonardo.

They had a child.

How could it be?

Gazing at her, Leonardo asked, "Do you understand now?"

Summer nodded. She asked, "Was the previous DNA report tampered with by Kate?"

Leonardo did not answer her question. But he raised his eyebrows to show his attitude. He stared at Summer and demanded, "You have three days."

He suddenly paused before continuing, "No, half an hour. Cut your ties with Stanley."

Leonardo did not know Summer and Stanley had already made public that they didn't engage. Stanley admitted he was not Summer's fiancé.

"What do you mean?"

She knew every word that Leonardo was saying, but she didn't understand what he meant.

Leonardo tilted his jaw, being somewhat disappointed with her reaction. He explained impatiently, "You are Rosie's mother. She likes you very much. You should live with us." It made perfect sense. But his condescension discomforted Summer.

"Why? Thanks to Kate, we are no longer husband and wife. There is no need for us to live together. Even if we didn't divorce, we shouldn't live together given the current situation." Her reply caught Leonardo off guard.

There was a glint of anger in his eyes. But he said in composure, "I agree what you've said, Ms. Summer. I believe you are aware you may never see Rosie again if you refuse me." Summer stood up and shouted, "Leonardo!"

He was always unreasonable and domineering.

He didn't make any compromise.

"Ms. Summer, if you've made up your mind, you can go out and cut your ties with Stanley. If you can't, I can do it for you. After all, we used to be husband and wife."

With that, he lifted his arm to check the time, "It's 2:29. I need your answer by 2:59."

Summer opened her mouth. Before she could say anything, she heard Leonardo speaking again, "You are not in a position to negotiate with me. I asked you to move in only because Rosie likes you. You can turn me down."

Leonardo was very blunt, not giving Summer a chance to refute.

Seeing Summer standing still, Leonardo reminded her, "It's 2:31. You only have 28 minutes left."

His request was outrageous. But the way he spoke of it made it look like a reasonable request. Summer left to talk to Stanley.

Stanley leaned against the wall in the corridor, smoking. Seeing Summer walking over, he casually extinguished the cigarette and threw it in the potted plant beside him. "What's wrong?" Summer and Stanley were much closer than she and Leonardo.

She did not beat around the bush. "Leonardo told me to cut ties with you and move over to live with him and Rosie. I don't have a choice. Otherwise, I won't be allowed to see Rosie."

Stanley was stunned, but he soon regained composure. He asked, "What do you think?"

"Leonardo is such a jerk. Why did I get married with him?" Summer grabbed her hair, irritated.

Stanley said calmly after a moment of silence, "Leonardo is stubborn. If that is what he said, you will not be able to see Rosie. Don't you want to recover your memory? If you live with him, you may remember something."

Summer looked at Stanley in surprise. "Are you trying to persuade me to say yes?"

"You can say so." The corner of Stanley's lips curled up. He said while shaking his head, "Besides, you don't have any other choice. You don't know what Leonardo is up to, and you can't bear to part with Rosie. Living with them is the best choice."

Summer found his words reasonable, but this didn't prevent her from feeling aggrieved.

"He was threatening me." But she then put on a bitter smile while saying, "Not necessarily a threat. Indeed, I have no other choice."

She had been unconscious for three years, and Leonardo had taken care of Rosie for three years.

His request was a threat to Summer, but he had his own reasons.

Leonardo loved Rosie, and Summer was her mother. She had an obligation to take care of Rosie and keep her in good company. Hearing this, Stanley quietly sized her up and then looked away, "If you've made up your mind, then just go back and tell him." Summer took a deep breath and turned around.

Stanley watched her as she left. His expression was subtle, no one knew what he was thinking.

When Summer returned to the room, she was surprised to replace Leonardo didn't even change his posture.

At the sight of her, Leonardo looked at the time and said, "It only took you twenty minutes. You're quick."

Summer took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "May I ask when?"

She was very indifferent.

Leonardo's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Now."

Summer clenched her teeth and said, "Alright, but I need to go back and pack my things."

Leonardo stood up and straightened his clothes. "There's no need. My men will prepare what you need."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
