Predestined Marriage
Chapter 680 Dad Bought Me This

After a while, Summer said, "Do you think it is possible?"

Jessica went silent for a moment, "I ... think that it's not impossible ..."

It was not impossible. However, it was only Jessica's guess.

Ever since she broke up with Leonardo, Summer had been struggling in unrealistic hopes and suffering from despair again and again.

She didn't want to speculate about Leonardo's thoughts like that anymore. That was too tiring.

"You know what? When the building of the Emerson Group caught fire, I was inside."

Summer paused, and Jessica did not interrupt. She knew that Summer had not finished.

"When everyone was running for their lives, I went upstairs to look for him and Rosie. But when I met him in the corridor, he escaped without me."

This was not the first time Leonardo had left without her. Summer's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.

Jessica couldn't believe it, "Is Mr. Emerson really like that?"

"Yes," Summer replied and sighed slightly.

Jessica didn't know what to say to comfort Summer.

Summer directly changed the topic, "I have to finish washing the dishes, and Rosie will wake up soon."

"Fine. Talk to you later. Goodbye!"

Jessica hung up the phone and felt somewhat upset, so she picked up the phone and called Carl.

Carl always answered Jessica's phone very quickly.

Carl picked up the phone as soon as it got through.

"Hello, I'm having a meeting. What's wrong?" Carl was always like this when talking to Jessica.

Jessica had already been accustomed to it, "I'll hang up then and let you have the meeting."

"Hey, wait..." Carl shouted to stop Jessica from hanging up, "Come on, just say it."

Jessica would not call Carl unless she needed him. However, he was still happy to receive Jessica's call.

Jessica said, "See you in Golden Cauldron Club tonight."

"Alright." Carl did not ask her why and directly agreed.

After Summer hung up the phone, she thought about what Jessica had said. Actually, she had a point.

It was a waste for a person like Bruce to be her bodyguard. However, it was even more impossible for her to believe that Leonardo had sent Bruce here.

After experiencing despair again and again, Summer would not have any more fantasies about Leonardo. However, she felt that it was necessary to sound out Bruce.

Summer made up her mind and decided to invite Bruce over for dinner tonight.

In the evening, she knocked on Bruce's door after preparing all the ingredients. It was weird that Bruce was still wearing a thick coat at home. It seemed that he had just returned from outside.

Seeing that Summer had been observing him without saying anything, Bruce took the lead and said, "Ms. Summer, what's the matter?"

"Thank you for giving me the plants. I'd like to invite you over for dinner." Summer slightly smiled, trying to look honest and sincere.

Bruce refused without thinking, "Thank you. But I'm not going."

It couldn't be that he liked her.

"Come on. I'm very grateful to you for bringing me food and sending me to the Emerson Group. If you don't come, you'll make me feel guilty." Summer turned around to look at her house and said, "Please come in an hour."

"Ms. ..."

Before Bruce could say anything, Summer turned around and left, pretending that she did not hear him at all, not giving him any chance to speak.

Bruce stared at Summer for a while, closed the door with a frown and took out his phone to make a call.

After Summer returned home, she began to cook.

Rosie's interest in cartoons was diminishing, apart from several cartoons about fighting and killing for justice. She did not like the ones that normal girls liked.

When Summer was cooking, she went over to cook with Summer. Summer gave her a corn and asked her to strip it.

Rosie then went to the side to strip the corn. By the time Summer had prepared two dishes, Rosie had already stripped almost one corn, and she had done it very well.

Summer discovered that although Rosie was not as lively as before, she seemed to be smarter than before. Of course Rosie had always been smart, but in the past, she had had only intelligence of an ordinary child. But now, Rosie was smarter than her peers.

Perhaps it was because Summer had been staring at Rosie for too long, Rosie raised her head and looked at her, "Mom, are you going to make a dish of corn?"

"Yeah, I may use your corn soon." Summer regained her senses and smiled at Rosie.

Rosie had the remaining corn stripped and carefully picked up the corn silk mixed in the kernels before handing the plate to Summer.

Summer took it over and said, "Thank you, Rosie."

"You're welcome." Rosie stood up and looked up to see how Summer cooked.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Rosie pointed at the door and said to Summer, "Someone's knocking on the door."

"I'll go get it." Summer washed her hands and turned to open the door.

It was Bruce.

Summer opened the door and stood to the side, "Come on in."

Bruce walked in expressionlessly, looking extremely reluctant. Summer looked at his expression but didn't say anything.

Rosie walked out and saw Bruce. She was not very familiar with Bruce, so she stared at him for a while.

Bruce took out a doll from behind and handed it to Rosie, saying, "Here you are." Rosie blinked and looked at Bruce, then looked at the doll in Bruce's hand and said, "It's cute." Then, she reached out to take it Summer said, "Have a seat, please. The dinner will be ready soon."

Bruce nodded and sat down on the sofa, still expressionless.

After Summer entered the kitchen, she realized that Rosie had not followed up.

She looked outside and saw Rosie sitting down on the sofa beside Bruce.

Bruce was big and Rosie was small, and the scene looked somewhat funny.

Rosie seemed to like Bruce. Summer was surprised. The sound of oil from the pot dragged her back to the reality. So she turned around and continued to cook.

In the living room, Rosie was playing with the doll while she turned her head to look at Bruce and asked, "Did you take this doll from my home?"

Bruce narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

Rosie added, "Dad bought me this."
