Predestined Marriage
Chapter 452 A Question of Life and Death

Summer sat down opposite to Jessica. She was not so optimistic as Jessica, "Not necessarily."

Jessica asked, "Then what are you planning to do next?"

"I think I should give him two days to calm down first, and then I'll try talking to him the next time I go to see Rosie. He behaved like that only because he has lost the memories of the past few years and doesn' love me now. I can't just be angry with him, can I?"

Summer sighed and closed her eyes shortly. Her tone was somewhat upset, "Even if I really wanted to be angry with him, he wouldn't come to coax me like before."

Even she herself did not notice the grievance in her tone.

Jessica did not know what else she could say. She just felt that it was indeed difficult to resolve the problem between her and Leonardo.

Ever since Summer and Leonardo parted in discord the other day, Leonardo had not seen Summer for a while.

Recently, Leonardo had seen Summer quite frequently in his life. Just after a few days without her, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

Tim was acutely aware of the fact that Leonardo had returned home after work without going to Summer's place for supper in the past few days.

And he also noticed that Rosie was sent back to Leonardo's place.

Tim wondered if something he didn't know had happened between those two again.

Tim placed a stack of documents in front of Leonardo, "Mr. Emerson, these are urgent documents."

Leonardo was sitting expressionlessly in the executive chair behind his desk. His hands were placed on the armrests of the chair, and his eyes were not fixed on anything. But as he heard Tim's voice, he still replied, "Okay."

Tim was puzzled, but he didn't ask Leonardo what was going on.

Just as Tim was about to leave, Leonardo suddenly stopped him. "Tim."

"Mr. Emerson, anything else?"

Tim immediately turned to look at Leonardo and asked him respectfully.

"You and your wife ..." Leonardo's eyebrows were knitted even more tightly.

He seemed a little irritated. He paused for a moment and then continued, "Do you guys fight?"

Tim was a little surprised that Leonardo had asked such a question, but he kept a straight face, "Of course we do."

Leonardo seemed to be very interested in this question. He looked up at Tim and asked seriously, "What happens after you guys have a fight?"

"She ignores me, and I ... I ignore her." This was the first time that Leonardo had asked him about something that private, so Tim was also a little embarrassed.

The look on Leonardo's face became more serious, "What else do you do then?"

Leonardo might not even have noticed that there was an apparent puzzled look on his face when he was asking that question.

Tim knew his boss very well, so he was almost certain that Leonardo had had a fight with Summer.

Maybe it wasn't so accurate to say that it was a fight. It was very likely that Leonardo had said something harsh that irritated Summer, so the two of them were not on speaking terms.

"If it isn't a matter of principle, I would usually go to make peace with her first. Women are more sensitive, and sometimes they are just being emotional."

Tim felt that it was not a bad thing that Leonardo would take the initiative to ask him something like that.

A matter of principle?

Leonardo thought of the newspaper article and said coldly, "Is that guy called Jerome really Summer's first love?"

It was true that he had lost some of his memory now, but he knew everything he needed to know.

Before he and Summer became a couple, he had never had a single girlfriend. What about Summer? She even had a first love before him.

Tim broke out in a cold sweat.

This was totally a question of life and death.

If Tim didn't tell Leonardo the truth, Leonardo would be angry. But if he told Leonardo the truth, Leonardo would be even angrier.

A smart guy like Leonardo immediately understood everything when he saw Tim's hesitation to speak.

He snorted coldly, "I see. You can get out now."

Tim sighed gently. But another thing came to his mind when he was about to leave the room.

"Mr. Emerson, I have found a few famous hypnotists according to your request earlier. Well ..."

Tim then raised his head to look at Leonardo's expression.

Leonardo's face suddenly clouded over when he heard those words, "Find someone to try those hypnotists first. If they can have people's memories locked, then send them here to see me." Tim nodded slightly, "I see."

"Mr. Emerson, there's something else I want to talk to you about."

Leonardo frowned slightly, "Say it all at once."

"It's about Stanley. He's a PhD in psychology who has lived overseas for a long time. He returned to China three years ago on the invitation of the criminal investigation team..."

Before Tim could finish, Leonardo interrupted him, "Get to the point."

"Stanley is a distinguished psychologist overseas. He was still not so famous here because he has only stayed here for a short time. In a sense, psychology and hypnosis are within the same field. Mr. Emerson, would you like to speak to him?"

The look on Leonardo's face did not change. His tone was also still soft, "Do you think I should speak to him?"

The more expressionless he showed, the angrier he was.

Leonardo was apparently furious.

If it were in the past, Tim would never have suggested Leonardo try speaking to Stanley.

After all, in the past, Leonardo valued Summer so much that it would be kind of him to not get Stanley out of her life.

The main reason Tim had brought that up was that he knew the relationship between Leonardo and Summer was still not that close, and that he wanted Leonardo to get better ASAP.

Tim didn't dare to say another word and left the room with his head down.

Leonardo raised his hand to rub his eyes. It was a bit difficult to tell the look on his face when he put down his hand.

In the past two days, Summer only went to see Rosie when Leonardo was not at home.

And the time she went there was also not fixed. It was either in the morning or in the afternoon, so she could avoid running into Leonardo perfectly.

She was not avoiding Leonardo on purpose. It was mainly just because she had not figured out how to face him.

What should she say when she met Leonardo? How could she make peace with him?

However, to her surprise, when she went to see Rosie, Leonardo's bodyguards did not stop her.

She had thought that Leonardo might not let her see Rosie again, since he was so angry that he even wanted to throw her out at that time. Fortunately, he didn't.

Today, Summer planned to go to Leonardo's place to see Rosie in the afternoon.

On her way there, she even bought cupcakes for Rosie.

However, she was stopped by a bodyguard as she walked to the entrance today.

"Sorry, Ms. Summer, you are not allowed inside."

Summer stood in astonishment for a moment and asked, "Why?"

"It's Mr. Emerson's order. Please don't make things difficult for us."

So it was Leonardo's order. Was that why she could enter the building to visit Rosie the other day? She was allowed in only because Leonardo had forgotten to tell his bodyguards his order? To think about it carefully now, she thought that was quite probable.

Summer turned around and stepped aside, and then she took out her phone to call Leonardo.‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
