Predestined Marriage -
Chapter 537 Believe It or Not
Summer returned to the car and went lost in thought. Stanley had seemed a little strange when he received her call at noon.
And what his assistant said even confused her more.
Stanley's assistant said that she ordered takeout for him, which meant that Stanley did not go to the Golden Cauldron Club.
The assistant didn't have to lie to her about such a trivial matter.
Therefore, if the assistant was telling the truth, who was the "Stanley" she met at the Golden Cauldron Club?
Were there two identical people?
Summer had never met two unrelated people who looked exactly the same.
Twins might look alike. But not every pair of twins looked exactly the same.
Leonardo and Kate were twin siblings. In spite of different genders, they looked quite similar in their features.
So far, she still hadn't known much about Stanley.
As for his family background, kin and friends, she knew nothing.
Thus, she was unable to rule out the possibility of his having twin brother.
Summer glanced at Stanley's psychiatric clinic before starting the car and leaving.
No matter how much she thought now, it was just her guess.
She still needed to replace Stanley to figure it out.
When Summer drove back to the villa, she saw Leonardo's car there.
She looked at the time and it was only five o'clock.
Was he off work so early today?
Just as she thought, someone pushed open his car door.
Then, Leonardo got off the car. His tall and erect figure appeared in Summer's sight.
The temperature had dropped today, but he just wore a thin suit. Standing straight, he turned his attention to Summer. Calm and expressionless, he didn't seem to feel the cold.
Summer opened the car door and got off the car after some hesitation. She walked towards Leonardo.
Two steps away from him, she stopped. Her gaze met Leonardo's.
After silence for a few seconds, Summer asked, "You are off work?"
Almost at the same time, Leonardo said, "Where have you been?"
Both of them paused as they finished speaking.
Leonardo knitted his eyebrows. The emotions in his eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish.
Summer knew that Leonardo would definitely not speak first.
"Shouldn't you know clearly where I have been?" He had arranged for bodyguards and they had followed her since she left the house early in the morning. Those bodyguards would definitely tell Leonardo everything about her movements.
She remembered that when she first married Leonardo, there wasn't even a single maid in his villa, all of them were bodyguards.
She didn't know what charm Leonardo had. His bodyguards were actually so loyal to him.
Hearing this, Leonardo put on a cold smile. His expression was sinister as he grimly asked, "Where did you come from?"
His gaze was telling that he had guessed that she went replace Stanley.
She was too naïve. She had thought that it would be fine if she dumped the bodyguards he had arranged. But with his keen senses, how could she hide it from him?
Summer pursed her lips and told him the truth, "Stanley's psychiatric clinic!"
Anyway, Leonardo had already guessed it. It was useless for her to conceal it any longer.
Yesterday, they had already quarreled over Stanley. Summer could tell that Leonardo was in a rage again. He just didn't show it.
If she continued to conceal it, Leonardo might be angrier.
Leonardo sneered and didn't say anything. He turning around and strode towards the villa.
Staring at his back for a moment, Summer chased after him, "Leonardo!"
However, hearing her calling, Leonardo didn't stop. Instead, he walked even faster.
Summer also picked up her pace. She explained to him as she walked, "I went to replace Stanley because I have serious affairs. Besides, he was not in the psychiatric clinic, and I did not see him." Leonardo still ignored her. Summer got mad and ran forward to grab him.
But when she saw his expression, a shiver ran down her spine. His expression was frighteningly cold.
She subconsciously let go of his arm when she met his cold gaze.
Leonardo looked down at her. The words he said seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth word by word.
"If you see him, when do you plan to come back? Tonight or tomorrow morning, or never?"
He looked at her as if she had just carried on a clandestine love affair.
Summer was enraged and couldn't help but raise her hand. However, when she met his icy gaze, she forcefully clenched her hand in mid-air and pulled it back.
"I'll explain it to you one last time. Believe it or not, nothing is going on between Stanley and me." With that, she took a glance outside the villa.
If it were a few years ago and she hadn't have given birth to Rosie, she would have rushed out. But when she left home this morning, she had told Rosie that she would come back to make meatballs for her tonight.
She was angry with Leonardo, but she could not go back on her promise to Rosie.
After the last banquet, she had promised Rosie that she would keep her words. Taking a deep breath, Summer turned around and walked to the hall.
They were standing in the middle of the courtyard, and there was still a distance from the hall.
Summer calmed herself down during this short journey.
As she entered the hall, a servant respectfully nodded to her, "Mrs. Emerson!"
Summer asked, "Where is Rosie?"
Before the maid spoke, Rosie's voice rang out, "I'm here!"
Summer looked over and saw that Rosie was being led downstairs by a maid.
She held a picture book in her hand and went downstairs with a skip and a jump.
Seeing Summer gazing at her, she waved the picture book and said happily, "Mom, look, I drew two big apples."
"Alright, watch the steps. You can't jump on the stairs. Mom will wait for you to come down." Summer's agitation immediately dissipated as soon as she saw Rosie.
