Predestined Marriage -
Chapter 563 Give Her What She Wants
Hearing that Summer was going to call home, Tim's expression changed slightly. He said, "My phone didn't activate the international roaming service." Summer was surprised for a moment, "All right then."
Seeing that she believed it, Tim nodded and said, "How about you use Mr. Emerson's phone after he comes back?"
Summer looked at his face and found nothing wrong, replying, "OK."
Outside the car.
The bodyguards surrounding Vicky moved aside as Leonardo approached her. She brought fewer people here, who were hiding at the back now.
She still remembered all the cruel things that Leonardo had done to her before. Therefore, she couldn't help but tremble and retreat when she saw him. However, she couldn't move back since there was a car behind her.
She stared closely at Leonardo, her facial muscles twitching with tension.
Leonardo stood in front of her with a gloomy look and said in a dead voice, "I really underestimated you. It seems that you want to die in a foreign country, just like Adams did."
Hearing Adams' name, Vicky calmed down a little and wasn't as terrified as before.
She gazed at Leonardo with her tearful eyes. Even though she was scared, she still mustered up the courage to ask with her body trembling, "Did you just admit that it was you who killed Adams?" "He deserved it!"
Though Leonardo hadn't regained all his memories yet, he knew what happened back then from Tim. Thus, he thought that Adams deserved more than death.
It was Adams who caused Summer to lie in the hospital bed for three years.
Before marrying Summer, Leonardo had suffered in silence for many years. No matter how people misunderstood and slandered him, he didn't care and just ignored it.
However, Summer was the apple of his eye. He only cared about her in the world, but he didn't protect her well.
If Adams was still alive, he would cut Adams into pieces for Summer.
Leonardo's tone was so cold and gloomy that Vicky felt as if she had traveled back to the night when her flesh was cut by Leonardo's subordinate piece by piece in the dimly lit room. Back then, Leonardo just sat in the shadows and watched it indifferently.....
Though several years had passed, she still remembered the fear she felt at that time.
"You should be glad that Adams died in that explosion. If he didn't die...." Leonardo wore a strange smile and paused. Even if he didn't finish his words, Vicky was already frightened by him.
She paled with hatred in her eyes. She trembled and said, "Leonardo... do you think I'm as weak as three years ago? You and Summer can't escape."
Though afraid, she still plucked up the courage to talk tough.
If she wasn't Vicky, Leonardo might have appreciated her courage.
Now he only sneered and signaled to his subordinate, who then tied Vicky up and quickly taped her mouth.
"You...." Vicky was struggling to say something, but Leonardo didn't give her the chance.
He turned around and got into the car where Summer was sitting, while Vicky was taken by his subordinates to another car.
When Leonardo got in the car, Summer asked, "What do you want to do to Vicky?"
Just now, he was talking to Vicky with his back to Summer, so Summer didn't see their faces and couldn't know what they were talking. Leonardo stared at the wound wrapped in gauze on Summer's forehead for a while and said, "Give her what she wants."
Since Vicky was courting death, he would let her.
Summer was silent for a moment and looked up at him, "Call Rosie. I want to hear her voice."
Hearing this, Leonardo didn't take out his phone. Instead, he said, "It's early morning in Hoover."
Summer froze for an instant. She only thought of listening to Rosie's voice, but she forgot the jet lag.
"Then make a video call to the servant. I want to see Rosie," she involuntarily clenched Leonardo's sleeve as she spoke.
This time, Leonardo was straightforward, "Alright."
He took out his phone and called home, "I want to see Rosie."
The servant said something, and then Leonardo hung up and made a video call.
As soon as the video call was connected, Summer saw Rosie sleeping soundly on her bed.
She stared at the phone screen for a long time. Only after confirming that it was really Rosie did she feel relieved.
Her nerves were so tense that she went limp as she relaxed.
She lied in Leonardo's arms and said with lingering fear, "Vicky caught me, but she didn't torture me...."
Leonardo interrupted her in a cold voice, "Didn't torture you?"
Summer knew that he was referring to the wound on her forehead. She shook her head and said, "It is nothing. She hates my guts, but I just got a slight injury. See, she really didn't abuse me. However, she was confident and seemed to have gotten something on me. I was pondering over it for a long time and only thought of Rosie...."
She heaved a long sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, "Fortunately, Rosie is fine."
However, just because Rosie was fine, Summer was even more puzzled.
She asked, "What do you think Vicky is up to? What exactly does she want to do?"
Leonardo wrapped his arm around her waist and tenderly put her head against his chest, saying in a gentle tone, "Have some rest."
Summer was indeed tired. She leaned against his chest and was overwhelmed by the familiar body scent. She felt secure and gradually fell asleep.
Noticing that her breathing became steady, the tenderness on Leonardo's face disappeared. Something cold flashed in his eyes.
Tim's face became taut when he saw Leonardo's expression in the rearview mirror, "Mr. Emerson...."
"Shut up." Although Leonardo was addressing to Tim, he didn't look at Tim but stared straight ahead. Tim didn't know what he was thinking.
Tim glanced at Summer, who was sleeping peacefully in Leonardo's arms. Then he moved his mouth, but didn't say anything.‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
