Predestined Marriage -
Chapter 67 Let Me See
Vicky's face swelled up like a balloon, but Leonardo seemed to enjoy this.
Summer couldn't bear to see this. She gave him a gentle kick on the leg under the table and whispered, "Douglas!"
Leonardo turned to look at her, knowing she wanted him to stop. He knocked on the table with his slender fingers and said indifferently, "Alright, I have to say, Mr. Jarrett, it must be hard for you to slap your daughter."
There was not a trace of pity in his voice. He sounded like a bystander who was enjoying this show.
Lynn was angry, but he couldn't offend Leonardo. He lowered his head, took a glance at Vicky and immediately looked away.
He couldn't see her face anymore.
Leonardo had a cursory glance at Vicky and said, "Parents should give kids a lesson. But you're too cruel, Mr. Jarrett, am I right?"
Lynn lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Leonardo had reached his goal, so he didn't want to stay here any longer. He turned to look at Summer and said gently, "Are you full now?"
Summer put down the pumpkin pie and regained her composure. She nodded yes.
"Let's go." He stood up and walked outside.
Summer quickly took her bag and followed.
Leonardo was tall and walking fast. When Summer went outside the restaurant, he had walked a long distance.
Just as she was about to run up to him, he stopped and looked back at her, as if he was waiting for her.
A lot was going on. And perhaps she was affected by her mother. Her eyes turned red with tears.
When she was a child, Karen once took Vicky and her to an amusement park.
Karen was busy taking care of Vicky. Summer was curious about everything back then, and naturally, she was left behind. She saw her mother disappear into the crowd, without even looking back. If only Karen could turn around to look at her.
Leonardo frowned, seeing Summer standing there in a daze. He walked over. "What happened?"
Summer lowered her head and dried her eyes. When she raised her head, she looked like her usual self, but with red eyes.
"I've got sands in my eyes."
She thought he would see right through her lie, but he lowered his head and said, "Don't move. Let me see."
Summer was still grateful for his help. She then stood still and raised her head to show him her eyes.
However, she had forgotten that even if "Douglas" would do something good, he was not a gentleman. Seeing his face moving closer, she had a bad feeling and wanted to step back.
He quickly reached out to hold the back of her head, lowered his head and gave her a kiss. Then he stepped away.
It all happened in seconds.
It took a while for her to get her head around. She wanted to swear at him, but he helped her just now.
But it was impossible not to swear.
"Douglas, you're a jerk!" Summer realized she was out of words.
She couldn't replace any other words except "jerk".
But he gave no response.
"Summer, you should be thankful that I am willing to kiss you when your face is like this," As he spoke, he touched her swollen face.
Summer suddenly pushed his hand away and looked at him coldly. "Don't touch me."
"Douglas" thought it was fun and wanted to touch her again, and Summer was about to push it again.
But this time, "Douglas" grabbed her hand.
Her hand was soft.
He rubbed her hand and led her forward.
"Let go!" Summer struggled.
She felt "Douglas" had gone too far today. He kissed her and held her hand!
It was not far from Summer's company. Colleagues could come here for lunch. What if they saw her?
Summer would definitely go crazy because of him!
She couldn't draw her hand back. To avoid others' attention, she had to let him hold her hand. And they walked to the car.
After they left, Vicky came out from behind a pillar. She looked at the photo she had just taken. Something cold and evil shone in her eyes.
Summer was the wife of Leonardo Emerson. But now she was so close with Leonardo's cousin. Vicky would like to see what they would do if people knew. She was so humiliated. She would not let it go at that.
"Douglas" took Summer to the hospital where a doctor treated her face. Then she went back to work.
When she sat down at her desk, she heard people saying Vicky had asked the day off.
They lowered their voices when they saw Summer coming.
But she still heard something.
"Summer is more than we think she is. A lot has happened after she came."
Summer couldn't deny what they said.
First, Stone went to the hospital, and then Vicky Jarrett took the day off.
But she was not to blame. They messed with her first.
After work, when Summer was about to leave, Lynn's secretary came.
"Miss Jarrett, Mr. Jarrett wants to see you."
Why did Lynn want to see her?
Was it because of what happened today?
It was possible.
Summer said gently, "I'm sorry, I'm off work now. If it's work, I will see him tomorrow. If it isn't, he will call me. Besides, I have to visit Mr. Green now."
Lynn's secretary knew a little about her. She had imagined Summer as plain and slow.
But when Summer went to the company, she realized Summer was not only beautiful, but also smart.
The secretary said again, "But Mr. Jarrett asked you to meet him."
Summer didn't reply. She took her bag and went straight out.0000
