Predestined Marriage -
Chapter 696 I Just Want to Help You
As soon as Summer finished speaking, she heard laughter from the other side.
"Summer, we were just joking with you. Did you really go there?" Amber taunted.
When she spoke, there was an undisguised mockery in her tone.
Summer didn't say anything and stood there with her phone in her hand.
Amber smiled and pretended to be generous. "Forget it, Leonardo, if she really wants to see you, just let her come. I know you don't want me to misunderstand you. After all, she is your ex-wife. Even if you don't have feeling for her at all, you two still have been together for a period of time."
She tried to persuade Leonardo in a gentle voice, and Summer heard everything.
Leonardo was probably moved by Amber. After a few seconds, Summer heard Leonardo's kind voice on the other end of the phone, "Then come over."
The laughter in Amber's tone became even more obvious, "Summer, I won't lie to you this time. We're next door to that restaurant, hurry up and come over..."
In the restaurant next door? Didn't Leonardo and Amber already see her when she stopped at the entrance of the restaurant? Did they think it was fun to fool her around?
Summer sneered. Leonardo could actually fool her around with Amber. She was really the most ridiculous fool in the world.
She hung up the phone and went directly to the restaurant next door. She stood at the door and saw Leonardo and Amber sitting there. They were talking, and did not see Summer. Summer did not know what Amber was talking about. Amber laughed, but Leonardo did not. He leaned against the sofa languidly and lowered his eyes as if he was paying attention to her. Leonardo and Amber were both good-looking. As a woman in her 30s, she looked younger. They just sat there, looking like a perfect couple.
Summer slowly walked over and sat down directly opposite them. The first thing she did when she sat down was to turn around and look out the window.
As expected, Leonardo and Amber were in a place where they could see Summer's car parked outside.
Summer withdrew her gaze and turned to meet Amber's eyes. Leonardo also looked up and glanced at Summer.
Amber deliberately leaned in Leonardo's direction, narrowing her distance with Leonardo. Only then did she look at Summer with a smile, "There you are."
"You are so kind to invite me. Of course I have to come." Summer curled up the corner of her lips forced a smile by curling
It used to be Summer who always sit beside Leonardo. But today, it was Amber. Things changed. Just now, Leonardo had listened to Amber and lied to her about the restaurant next door. Being certain of Leonardo's love for her from his indulgence, Amber became even more unscrupulous.
"We are almost finished. What would you like to eat?" Amber deliberately said this to annoy Summer.
Actually, only Leonardo could really make Summer angry and sad. Whatever Amber said and did had no influence on her.
She just glanced at Amber and said calmly, "Is Miss Amber only thinking about food? I'm here for Leonardo. We have things to talk about."
Amber expected to see the haggard and distressed Summer, not this woman who would waste no time to talk back.
"Summer, what do you mean by that? You're the one who's been pestering Leonardo. He doesn't want to see you at all! He agreed to see you because I persuaded him! How could you..." Amber deliberately stopped and turned to look aside, as if she had been wronged but wouldn't show it.
Summer found it ridiculous, but she did not have time to laugh, because she came for business.
She didn't want to look at Amber any longer. She turned to Leonardo, who had been silent, and said, "I'm here to talk about Rosie going to the kindergarten. Let's decide it together and I hope we can solve it right away. After all the shoot will start very soon."
Only then did Leonardo finally say the first word after Summer's arrival, "I will get it done."
Amber was trying to win Leonardo's attention just now by making that fuss.
However, he did not seem to have noticed her, so she could only stop the act and interjected, "I know there's a nice kindergarten. The principal is a friend of mine..."
"I will handle my daughter's affairs. Thank you for your concern, Miss Amber." Summer interrupted her without showing any respect.
Amber was waiting for Summer's domineering refusal. Secretively, she cracked a smile, but when she turned to Leonardo, that smile turned to a slight frown and she complained, "Leonardo, I just want to be of help..."
"I know." He turned to Amber and gently said, "However, you don't need to be distracted by these trivial matters. You just need to be happy."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, still looking lazy. There was an evident gentleness on his face that Summer found strangely distant.
In Summer's memory, Leonardo was a deep and reserved person. Only when he was extremely happy, and only when she was with him, would he show emotions. She rarely saw such a gentle expression when she was with him.
If Leonardo and Amber had asked her to come here to make her jealous, then they succeeded. She found the scene extremely unpleasant.
Summer couldn't control herself and she couldn't even put on a smile. She looked at him coldly and continued to talk about Rosie, "I will go to some kindergartens that I think are good. You do the same. It doesn't have to be the most expensive, but it must be the best. And we will talk in three days with the ones we have chosen."
Summer felt as if she was discussing a work project with someone. Discussion, individual work, evaluation, and final result.
Leonardo didn't say anything, he only nodded in the least perceptible manner. When Summer got a response, she got up and left.
Amber knew that she should stop, so she obediently watched Summer leave.
Just as Summer turned around, she heard Amber's voice behind her, "Why are you so cold to her? No matter what, she is Rosie's mother."
Summer subconsciously slowed down. After two seconds, she heard Leonardo's indifferent voice, "Right now, the person beside me is you. Do you want me to be kind to her?"
Amber said coquettishly, "You sure know how to talk your way out of it!"
Then, there was Leonardo's chuckle.[
