Predestined Marriage
Chapter 714 What a Mess!

Hearing what Leonardo and Amber were talking about, Summer sneered. And when she raised her head, she pretended not to hear anything and directly walked past them.

She didn't stop for a moment. Only then did Amber see Summer. She was surprised and subconsciously turned to look at Leonardo. But Leonardo was looking in another direction, his expression slightly solemn, as if he was pondering over something.

Thinking of what had happened in the meeting room this morning, Amber had a strange feeling.

Somehow, she muttered to herself, "Why did Summer leave before the show was over?" She said casually, but as she spoke, she was paying close attention to Leonardo's expression secretly. However, Leonardo didn't move at all, nor did he even look at her.

Amber got angry when Leonardo suddenly turned to look at her. He saw the anger on her face and looked at her with a faint smile in a mocking way. Then, Leonardo said in a cold voice, "Do you remember what you said when you asked me to invest in 'Lost City 2'?"

Amber was surprised, and then hurriedly said, "Yes, I do."

She said that she only wanted to win Summer for once, and she had promised it would definitely not delay the shooting of "Lost City 2". Thinking of this, Amber's expression changed. She had only said so to make Leonardo like her.

However, when Leonardo had mentioned this, it was obvious that he meant something else, like ridicule or blame.

"Good." Leonardo looked at her calmly and turned his head away.

Tim had arrived and was hurriedly walking towards Leonardo. "Mr. Emerson."

"Is everything ready?"

Tim nodded and replied, "Yes, sir."

Leonardo completely ignored Amber and directly left.

"Leonardo!" Amber called him from behind.

Leonardo didn't seem to have heard it and kept walking. However, Tim handed an invitation letter to Amber.

He said seriously to Amber, "Mr. Emerson is going to attend a charity party tonight and he wants you to go with him. And Mr. Emerson has something to deal with now. Please excuse us, Miss Amber." Amber was surprised to see the gilded invitation letter, and then she was delighted, "Did Leonardo ask you to give it to me?"

"Of course." Tim was indifferent without showing much respect, as if he was only dealing with a business affair.

Amber took the invitation and smiled. "I see. Thank you, Assistant Tim."

Tim nodded, then turned around and left to catch up with Leonardo.

Amber held the invitation letter and looked in the direction where Leonardo had gone. She could still vaguely see him. She chuckled, thinking that Leonardo still cared about her and he was just a little angry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her accompany him to the party.

All the bad emotions of the day had been relieved at this moment.

Summer returned to the hotel, took a shower, and lay on the bed. However, she couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Closing her eyes, she could still feel Leonardo's heavy breathing by her ears. Somehow everything that had happened in the lounge kept flashing back in her mind.

What exactly was Leonardo doing?

For a moment, she did have felt a hatred for Leonardo.

However, when she recalled Leonardo's experiences in his childhood and the things they had been through together, she harbored a more complicated feeling towards Leonardo.

Her love for Leonardo was not pure anymore, nor was the hatred. It was so complex and heavy that even she could not figure it out herself.

Summer sighed and called the waiter for a bottle of wine.

The waiter quickly brought the wine over and went into the room to prepare the wine for her. Summer refused, "It's OK. I'll open it myself."

The waiter went out. Summer opened the wine, poured it into the goblet and raised her head to drink it in one shot.

However, she drank so quickly that most of the wine spilled out and she almost choked herself. Summer coughed with tears, laughed self-deprecatingly and then continued to drink. She felt bitter and blamed it on the wine.

Usually, she was a drinker and had to drink a lot to get drunk. But she drank too quickly today and felt dizzy soon. She leaned against the bed, feeling the world spinning. Not long after, she tilted her head and fell asleep.

Just as she fell asleep, there was a knock on the door. The knock was very rhythmic, showing the patience and probing of the person.

However, Summer had already fallen asleep because of the alcohol. It was impossible for her to hear the knocks on the door, let alone open the door.

After a while, someone unlocked the door with a door card. Then a tall man walked in.

After Leonardo entered, he gently closed the door and slowly walked to the bed.

Summer had been sitting on the carpet drinking, so she was sleeping, leaning against the edge of the bed. Her face was pale, and even when she had fallen asleep, she still looked unhappy.

Leonardo stood in front of the bed, looking at her for a moment and reached out to take the goblet from Summer's hand. Then he made the bed, lifted her up from the floor and put her down on the bed before covering the quilt for her.

Summer felt uneasy even in her sleep. She frowned and murmured, "Leonardo..."

Leonardo froze for a moment. He bent down to kiss lightly on her forehead, and then reached out to stroke her long hair.

Summer finally stopped frowning, and she even subconsciously rubbed her head on Leonardo's big hand. Leonardo stiffened somehow, and his expression softened. He kissed her on the forehead again and then kept staring at Summer.

It had been a long time since he had been able to take a good look at her. The opportunity was rare.

After a while, Leonardo stood up, took the air conditioning remote control at the bedside, and adjusted the appropriate temperature.

After he put the remote control back, Leonardo paused for a moment before straightening up and walking out.

At the door, he saw Summer's shoes scattered on the floor. That was because Summer entered the door with a bad mood and kicked them away after taking off the shoes.

Leonardo squatted down to put her shoes in place.

However, just as he opened the door and before he could even turn around to look at Summer, he heard Tim say, "Mr. Emerson."

Tim stood outside the door with a calm expression. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a while. However, Leonardo did not come with him.

Tim was looking for him.000000☐☐☐☐☐
