Predestined Marriage
Chapter 698 Can't Stand by

Carl entered another elevator. The elevator car Summer and Jessica had been waiting for arrived very quickly.

They entered the elevator car. Then Summer asked Jessica, "What happened to you and Carl?"

"What could happen? He is the boss and I am an employee. Isn't it normal for us to keep a distance from each other?" Jessica stared at her reflection on the elevator wall and said indifferently. Summer smiled, completely disbelieving Jessica's words. They were quarreling again.

It was more serious this time. No matter how badly they quarreled with each other, Carl would never ignore her. However, just now, Jessica did not look at Carl, nor did Carl look at Jessica.

What were they quarreling over this time? They had been together for so many years, and it seemed that they would never stop. Sometimes outsiders couldn't understand what was going on in a relationship.

Just like that between Carl and Jessica and that between Leonardo and her. Summer's eyes dimmed again when she thought of Leonardo. They didn't speak until they left the company.

They opened the car doors and sat in. Summer asked Jessica, "Where do you want to go?"

Jessica said indifferently, "Anywhere."

Summer thought for a moment and drove to Golden Cauldron Club.

They were no longer young after all. Now, anything needed deliberate consideration. She had to guarantee that the place they got drunk in was safe.

After arriving at Golden Cauldron Club, Jessica was somewhat dissatisfied, "Why here again?"

"It's good here." Summer said as she untied her seat belt.

They went straight to the bar. There were not guests in the bar at noon.

The bartender also knew Summer and Jessica, and was surprised that they came at noon. However, he still asked enthusiastically, "What would you like?"

They placed their orders. After a few mouthfuls, Jessica started to retch.

Summer hurriedly put down her wine glass, "What's wrong? You didn't eat, right?"

Jessica had a stomach problem. She would definitely feel ill if she didn't eat before drinking.

Jessica's eyes misted over. She shook her head, "No."

Summer immediately took the glass in Jessica's hand, "Stop drinking. Let's go and eat something."

"It's fine. I often do this. I could still drink." Jessica picked up her glass.

"Alcoholic!" Summer patted her head, lightly.

Jessica curled her lips, put down the glass, and left the bar with Summer.

Summer went to see Leonardo at lunch time, thinking that they might talk over lunch. However, when she came to replace Leonardo, he was having lunch with Amber.

Now she found herself ridiculous. How could she still not accept the truth? Leonardo was not the same Leonardo as before. He might not even be willing to talk to her over lunch.

After all, Leonardo had already declared that she was irrelevant. Leonardo never spent too much time and energy on irreverent women.

Neither of them had eaten, so they went ahead to eat without a word when the dishes were served.

After that, they could calm down and think straight. Summer no longer wanted to drink, but Jessica still wanted to.

Summer was pulled to the bar by Jessica, "You ate so much. Can you still drink?"

Jessica snorted, "Are you complaining that I ate too much? I can afford it. Why can't I eat so much?"

Summer had nothing to say. She could only follow her to the bar. When they went to the bar just now, there weren't any guests. Now there were a few more. They were a few young boys and girls, at most eighteen or nineteen years old. No teenagers were allowed in Golden Cauldron.

There were three men and two women drinking there. One couldn't figure out who they were.

Jessica said jokingly while drinking, "Guess who were a couple over there?"

Summer stared at them for a while and said, "There are five people over there, two girls and three boys. Two of them are a couple, and the other two boys like another girl."

"How do you know?" Jessica became interested and stared at them.

Summer raised her eyebrows and said, "I guessed."

Actually, it wasn't just a guess.

The interaction between lovers could be seen at a glance. The other two boys had been courting the same girl, and the girl had the same attitude towards the two boys. It was obvious that she did not like eithe of them.

Summer and Jessica looked at them for a while and felt bored. They began to talk about other things.

After a while, another boy came in.

The light in the bar was not good and Summer only took a glance. She did not see the boy's face clearly. She only knew that the boy was tall.

Just as Summer was about to speak to Jessica, she heard a loud sound coming from over there.

Summer and Jessica looked back together and saw that the three boys over there had started a fighting. They grabbed anything they could get to throw at each other. Wine bottles, fruits and chairs were all picked up as weapons.

Jessica couldn't help but sigh, "Look at those young people."

Summer glanced at her and said, "We are only in our twenties. We are still young."

They calmly watched the fight over there while drinking. The bartender had called the security.

Summer considered it fun to see them fight as an audience. But then she found the tallest boy was familiar.

She put the drink down and looked intently at the boy. She shouted out in surprise, "Douglas?"

"Who?" Jessica did not hear clearly and asked again.

"Douglas! Leonardo's cousin!" Summer was a little anxious. She put down her glass and stood up. "What does Leonardo's cousin have to do with you?" Jessica hurriedly pulled her back.

"He's not only Leonardo's cousin. He is Douglas. He sees me as his sister. I can't sit back and watch." Hearing that, Jessica could only let go of her. Summer walked over and shouted seriously, "Stop!" The boys who were fighting were startled by this sudden roar and stopped.

Summer's eyes alighted with Douglas'.

It had been more than three years since she had seen Douglas.

Boys change drastically in their adolescence, and Douglas was already nineteen years old now.

The nineteen-year-old boy already had the outline of a man. He was tall and seemed to be much darker, but he was still as handsome as before. Douglas was also stunned when he saw Summer, "Summer."000000
