Predestined Marriage
Chapter 726 A Hard-fought Battle

"What?" When Summer heard Jessica's words, she was astonished for a moment before looking down at her hand.

She didn't feel the pain until the blood from her fingers had dropped onto the chopping board.

Jessica walked forward and quickly took the kitchen knife in her hand and put it aside, pinching her fingers and saying, "Be careful!"

Summer smiled, "I'm fine. It is just a scratch."

"A scratch? Look at it yourself. If the wound is deeper, it will leave a scar!" Jessica was a little angry. She held Summer's finger and let Summer see it herself. Such a big move made Summer painful.

Jessica glared at Summer and with an angry face, she put Summer's finger under the tap to give it washed by running water.

After washing the blood off her hands, Jessica was about to ask Summer if there was any Band-Aid when she heard Summer ask her, "Who told you that?"

Jessica did not catch her at first. After realizing that Summer was asking about Leonardo and Amber's marriage, she could not help but glare at Summer again, "You are hurt. How can you still care about other people's business?"

Although Jessica had a sharp tongue, she still told Summer, "Carl."

It turned out to be Carl....

"If it was Carl who told you, then it might be true." Summer looked down and muttered.

Seeing that Summer was out of her mind, Jessica pinched her wound with displeasure and said, "You'd better tell me if there are any Band-Aids first!"

Summer frowned in pain, "It is in the cupboard in the living room."

Jessica got Summer a Band-Aid and covered the wound with it. Summer still wanted to ask something, but when she saw Jessica's angry face, she did not ask again. Jessica helped Summer cover her wound with the Band-Aid and carefully looked at it before saying, "Your hand is injured and cannot get wet. Let's go out for dinner." "It's fine. It's just one finger. It won't affect cooking. I...."

Before Summer could finish her sentence, she stopped after seeing Jessica's unhappy face. In the end, she went out with Jessica.

Jessica couldn't be bothered to discuss with Summer and drove directly to Golden Cauldron Club.

Although today was a working day, the restaurant in Golden Cauldron Club was still crowded in every room. They didn't ask for a private room, but instead got a table in the hall.

After ordering the dishes, Jessica fixed her gaze on Summer. No one knew what she was looking at.

Summer was uneasy by Jessica's gaze, "Just say what you want to say. Don't look at me like that."

"Your ex-husband is getting married. What about you?" Jessica paused for a moment and quickly knocked on the dining table twice with her fingertips, making a clear sound, "Hurry to replace someone and get married. If you really can't replace one, I can introduce someone to you."

Summer whispered, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing Summer like this, Jessica let out a long sigh. She lowered her voice and said, "I just can't let it go! Mr. Emerson had lost his memory for three years, and Amber had so many opportunities at that time, but she still failed to make Mr. Emerson fall in love with her! And now Mr. Emerson falls in love with her after you've been through all this? This is quite beyond my imagination!"

Hearing Jessica say this, Summer was very calm. She looked down and her mind flashed back to scenes that she had experienced with Leonardo. However, she was very calm now.

"Those things are over. When I was with him, we didn't let each other down. That's enough."

Summer smiled helplessly, "Besides, I've already let go of it."

"Really?" Jessica looked at Summer's finger with a Band-Aid on it, questioning her.

Summer touched the injured finger and said calmly, "I have indeed not completely let go of it, but I have decided to. Right now, the most important thing for me is not to pay attention to Leonardo's marriage, but to obtain Rosie's custody."

When Jessica heard this, she suddenly looked up at Summer, "That's right! How can I forget about this?"

Summer had thought about the custody of Rosie before. But they did not have to fight for custody at that time. If Leonardo and Amber really decided to get married, she must get the custody. Summer didn't know if Amber really loved Leonardo. But she knew that Amber would not treat Rosie well.

When she had just woken up and hadn't fully recovered her memories, she met the lost Rosie in the mall. At that time, Amber wanted to abandon Rosie. Her Rosie definitely couldn't live with Amber. "But will Mr. Emerson just agree to that?" Jessica felt that Summer had little chance of winning.

Summer could tell what Jessica was thinking, "My chances of winning are indeed not much. Back then, on the island, I thought that I would surely die. But I am still alive now. As long as I have the chance and don't give up, I believe I will be able to obtain Rose's custody!"

Seeing that Summer was so determined, Jessica held her hand and said, "Alright. Just do it. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you!"

Whatever, Jessica would always be with her.

There were so many things Summer wanted to say to Jessica, and it ended up with a simple "thank you".

Jessica let go of her hand and said, "Don't mention it. We have been friends for so many years. You don't have to thank me."

Summer smiled and didn't say anything.

Just at this time, the dishes they ordered were served, and they chatted while eating.

"Is the news correct that Leonardo is getting married?" Summer asked again.

Jessica thought about it and said, "I only heard him mention it. But the news must be correct. I just don't know when it will be."

Summer thought for a moment and concluded, "In this way, there should be a long time before their wedding. If they are really ready for the wedding, there will be news."

In the evening, Summer drove to the kindergarten to pick up Rosie.

At the entrance of the kindergarten, she met Tim.

"Ms. Summer," Tim nodded respectfully.

Summer nodded politely and said, "I'm at home these days. So, I am going to take Rosie to my place for a few days. Tim, please pass on these words to Leonardo." "OK." Tim didn't seem surprised at all.

"Sorry, I didn't tell you in advance and made you come in vain." In fact, Summer was afraid that if she told Tim in advance, Tim would tell Leonardo. Then, she would meet Leonardo.

Right now, she was trying her best to avoid meeting Leonardo, because she had to be ready in advance. There would be a hard-fought battle when she fought with Leonardo for the custody later. Tim was not angry at all, "It's fine. This is my duty. Since you will take Rosie back, then I will leave first."0000000☐☐☐☐
