Predestined Marriage
Chapter 695 He's Not Here

Summer pondered for a moment and said, "Please think about it carefully. Is there anything unusual about Leonardo?"

After thinking for a while, Tim hesitated before saying, "Well, no."

The weirdest thing about Mr. Emerson was that he broke up with Summer and got together with Amber. However, Tim only thought about it in his heart and didn't say it out loud. Summer fell into deep thought. Was she thinking too much?

Since Summer remained silent, Tim leaned forward and said, "Ms. Summer?"

Summer was pulled back to reality and smiled politely, "Tim, thank you so much for seeing me on short notice."

"Ms. Summer, you're welcome. Even if you and Mr. Emerson are no longer together, we are still friends," Tim said sincerely.

Summer chuckled, "Since you see me as a friend, don't keep calling me Ms. Summer. That would be too weird."

"No, no, no." Tim's face changed as he waved his hand to refuse her suggestion.

He had been working for Leonardo for so many years. Leonardo was very powerful and intimidating in his heart. Even though Summer was no longer with Leonardo, Tim was used to putting her beside Leonardo. He did not dare to be so intimate with Summer.

Summer said that casually. She didn't expect that she would frighten Tim.

"Tim, if you have something to do, just go for it. I've known enough." Summer was a little embarrassed. Tim was always very busy. He could only have a few days off for the New Year. But she even called him out to ask about these things.

Tim did not stand up and leave right away. He picked up the coffee and took a sip. He opened his mouth, but closed it without speaking.

Summer asked, "Is there anything else?"

Tim coughed and said, "Did you see the news about Mr. Carl?"

"Which said he had an illegitimate daughter?" Summer did not expect that Tim would gossip about Carl. "Fake news. I took Rosie to the Golden Cauldron Club for dinner yesterday. Perhaps they thought Rosie was his daughter."

Tim nodded. He didn't stay any longer and got up to leave.

After he left, Summer leaned against the chair, thinking.

Tim was the closest person to Leonardo, but he said that Leonardo was doing as usual. Then, why did she have that feeling? Or she was just thinking too much?

Summer was distressed and sighed heavily.

Not long after the New Year holidays, Eliza told Summer to get ready to join the cast and crew.

Before that, Summer went to Leonardo's place to see Rosie. Leonardo was not at home when she went over.

The servant used to work in the villa, and knew Summer. So, when someone saw that Summer stopped in the hall, she said, "Mr. Emerson has been very busy these days. He goes out early in the morning and comes back late to eat with Miss Rosie at night."

"Oh, I see." Summer was a little embarrassed. She smiled at the servant and went upstairs to see Rosie.

She really wanted to take care of Rosie, but soon and she would be on set.

Leonardo was busy too. Rosie would be often alone at home.

Too many things happened last year. Otherwise, Rosie would have been to kindergarten long ago. Summer thought that Rosie would be happy if she could play with other kids at the kindergarten. "Rosie, do you want to go to kindergarten? You can play with many other kids," Summer asked Rosie with a smile.

Rosie understood her words quickly and asked, "You're going to take me to the kindergarten?"

"Yes," Summer replied, "Do you want to go there?"

Rosie continued to ask, "Is it fun?"

Summer touched the hair on Rosie's forehead. "It should be more fun than staying alone at home. But you might meet kids with a bad temper."

Rosie frowned. But soon she smiled, "Yeah, I want to go there."

"Then I'll discuss with your father and send you to a kindergarten." Summer gently pinched Rosie's cheek.

Rosie shook her head and shook Summer's hand off. "Okay."

There were a few days left before Summer was supposed to join the cast and crew. Although it was a short time, she and Leonardo should be able to replace a nice kindergarten for Rosie with their connections. After leaving Leonardo's villa, Summer drove to the Emerson Group. She checked the time. When she arrived there, it was time for lunch. Then she called Leonardo. But it was hung up when she got through. Summer stared at her phone for a few seconds and called again. This time, someone picked it up after the phone rang for several seconds.

Before Leonardo spoke, Summer heard another woman's voice. "What is wrong with her? Does she call you again?"

Summer's hand on the phone seized up. This voice was very familiar. It was Amber. Leonardo was with Amber now? Summer tightened her grip on the phone and did not say anything.

After a long while, Leonardo asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

He sounded very cold, and Summer couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"I want to discuss with you about Rosie going to the kindergarten. I'm going to the set in a few days. I hope you can replace time to talk to me about this before I go there. We can replace a good kindergarten for Rosie as soon as possible." Summer also said in a matter-of-fact tone.

They used to be so intimate, but now they could only call each other for their child.

"I'm not busy now. You can meet me in the restaurant opposite the company." He hung up on Summer right after he finished speaking.

Summer slowly put down her phone and bit her lips. She did not move. Leonardo asked her to go over now?

But she heard Amber's voice on the phone. He was with Amber, and he wanted her to talk to him now?

What was he doing?

Summer was unsettled by his kiss and even asked Tim how he was doing recently.

Now she knew she was a total fool!

Summer clenched her fists and hit hard on the steering wheel. She took a few deep breaths. Then she turned the steering wheel, started the car and went to the restaurant across the road. She parked her car, slammed the door and went in.

The waiter greeted her, "Good afternoon, Miss. What can I do for you?"

"I'm here to look for someone." Summer looked around and did not see Leonardo and Amber. She turned to ask the waiter, "Is Leonardo Emerson here?"

The waiter was stunned. "Are you talking about the president of the Emerson Group across the street?"

Summer nodded. "Yes."

The waiter gave her a weird look, but he still replied honestly, "He's not here. He didn't come this noon."

"What?" Summer thought the waiter was lying to her. "He told me that he was eating here."

The waiter explained, "Mr. Emerson often eats here, but he didn't come today."

Suddenly, Summer's phone rang.

Summer looked at it and found that it was Leonardo.

She picked it up and said coldly, "You lied to me. You're not here!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
