Predestined Marriage
Chapter 727 I Am a Smart Kid!

Watching Tim left, Summer kept waiting for Rosie at the gate of the kindergarten.

Rosie was so excited and ran to her when she saw Summer came to pick her up.

Rosie ran to Summer and hugged Summer's leg. She looked up and blinked and smiled at Summer, "I just wondered if you are gonna come or not."

Summer pinched her little nose and picked her up. "Didn't I tell you this morning that I will come and pick you up after school?"

"But what if you have work to do? You won't come if you have work." Rosie said with a serious look.

Summer did not know how to reply her.

It was always because of work that she failed to stay with Rosie. So, Rosie already learned it by heart.

Summer put her down and crouched in front of her. She looked into her eyes and said slowly, "If I told you that I will come, then it's for sure. Unless something urgent happens, I will never break my words, OK?"

"OK." Rosie nodded.

After returning home, Summer prepared to cook.

Rosie brought a stool and put it in front of the kitchen island and stood on it. She tried to reach the top of it and help Summer prepare the food.

Then, Rosie saw the Band-Aid on Summer's hand. She leaned over and grabbed her hand, "Mom, you're hurt!"

"It's nothing." Summer smiled as she looked at Rosie's worried little face.

"Does it hurt?" Rosie looked up at her, worried.

Summer was so touched and kissed on Rosie's cheek, "Don't worry, my dear. It doesn't hurt at all."

"Mom, wait!" Rosie jumped off the stool and ran.

"Where are you going?" Summer raised her voice and asked her.

Without answering her, Rosie flipped through stuff in the living room. When Summer was about to check it out, Rosie came back with a pink little box in her hands.

It was a palm sized, pinky carton box with a little bear's picture on it.

As she climbed onto the stool, she handed it over to Summer.

Summer helped while watching her climbing clumsily onto the stool. She asked, "What is this?"

"Little Bear Band-Aid." After Rosie stood up, she took back the little box from Summer and said, "Let me open it. After you put this on, you will not feel pain anymore." It was baby talk. Only kids would believe that.

But Summer still cooperated patiently, "Really? Then I'll try it."

Rosie opened the box and took out a pinky Band-Aid. She ripped it open and was about to apply it on Summer's finger.

Summer pulled off the old one that Jessica put on for her and moved her finger to Rosie.

Rosie was shocked and said, "It's a big wound."

She blew on Summer's finger and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Summer shook her head, "No, it doesn't."

Rosie turned a little angry and said, "Mommy is lying. It didn't help. It still hurts."

It was embarrassing for Summer. She meant to make Rosie not to worry about her, but Rosie figured it out.

Rosie carefully helped Summer to put the Band-Aid on. She was so careful that she even breathed slower. After that, she stood straight and felt released, "Done! Now, it won't hurt anymore!"

Watching the way Rosie was, Summer felt warm and smiled.

Rosie murmured, "I'm a smart kid! Blowing won't help, but Band-Aid will help stop the pain."

"You are right. Now, it doesn't hurt much anymore. Thank you, Rosie." Summer fondled her head.

Rosie looked up and laughed, "Mommy, you don't need to thank me, because I love you."

This time, Summer really couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect that Rosie would say so.

Rosie was confused and stared at Summer. Summer stopped laughing and asked her, "I love you too, but who taught you to say so?"

"My teacher." Rosie packed her bandage box carefully and jumped off the stool to put it back.

"Did your teacher buy this for you?" Summer never bought things like this for her.

"Dad bought it!" Rosie's voice came from the living room.

"Your Dad?" Leonardo bought this for Rosie?

"OK." Summer was a little surprised that he would buy this kind of things for her.

Maybe he asked Tim to buy it for her.

Rosie returned to Summer after putting it back and said, "The other day, Dad took me to the supermarket after school. He bought it." Summer was still surprised. It was hard for her to imagine him taking Rosie to buy a box of pinky Band-Aid.

After dinner, Rosie was reading her comic books on the carpet while Summer was washing the dishes.

Summer's phone rang when she was about to finish. She hesitated before she went to get her phone.

She didn't pick up immediately when she saw the number.

It was Leonardo's call. She knew that he called to check on Rosie because there were no other reasons for him to call.

Summer took a deep breath and answered the phone.

She put the phone next to her ear and waited for him to say something first.

And he started first. "Is Rosie with you?" His voice was cold. Summer could imagine the way he looked as he was sitting in front of his desk in his study.

"Yes, she is. I came back just a few days ago, so I took her over." After speaking, she waited for him to speak again.

But he kept silent, so Summer continued, "I will bring Rosie back later on."

"OK." After a few seconds, Leonardo replied.

"Well, if there's nothing else..."

Before Summer could finish the sentence, he interrupted, "Amber and I are getting married."

All in a sudden, Summer's mind was blank. But she quickly adjusted herself and said immediately, "Congratulations."

"You should cherish your time with Rosie. After I get married, you can't take her to your place whenever you want." Summer felt his voice was colder than ever before.☐☐☐☐☐☐
