Predestined Marriage
Chapter 728 We Can Draw in the Net.

Summer's heart was hammered and her throat constricted as he spoke.

She asked, "What do you mean?"

Hearing her words, Leonardo said baldly, "I know you also want to have Rosie's custody, but I won't give it to you."

Summer tightened her grip on her phone and said in a cold voice, "It seems we have a tacit understanding. Same as you, I won't give the custody to you." Then, time went on without any word.

After a while, Summer heard Leonardo's deep and cold voice, "Then, see you in court."

Summer replied with one word and said firmly, "OK."

Then, she hung up the phone.

Putting her phone aside, Summer legs were so weak that she could hardly stand. She stood with her hands on the top for support.

At noon, Jessica told her that Leonardo was getting married. At that time, she still calmly mentioned Rosie's custody.

However, when Leonardo told her that he was getting married and wanted to have the custody of Rosie, Summer found it really hard to accept.

She had never thought that one day she would meet Leonardo in court fighting for the custody of Rosie.

Summer could see Rosie leaning against the coffee table, reading comic books from the kitchen entrance. She could not read very well, so she just looked at those pictures. She was pointing at books and muttering.

Looking at Rosie, Summer clenched her fists. She would never allow Rosie to live with Amber. She must fight for Rosie's custody by any means...

After Leonardo hung up the phone, he rested his elbows on the desk and clasped his hands against his forehead.

Tim knocked at the door and came in, "Mr. Emerson, aren't you going back?"

Leonardo did not raise his head. He said in a hoarse voice, "Even Rosie is not at home. I'm not going back tonight. You get back and have a rest." Tim could not bear to see him like this, "Mr. Emerson, do you really want to see Mrs. Emerson in court?"

Leonardo did not say anything. After a while, he sat straight and raised his head.

His eyes were filled with emotions that Tim couldn't understand. His eyes were deep and gloomy, as if he couldn't see the edge at a glance. "This is the last step. After this step, we can draw in the net." Leonardo's voice was still hoarse. Tim sensed a rare exhaustion in his voice.

"I think..." Tim still tried to persuade Leonardo. He thought that Leonardo did not have to shoulder all these burdens alone.

The two of them had a deep understanding of each other due to many years' companionship. Leonardo knew what he was going to say the moment he opened his mouth.

"Stop here," he interrupted. "Go back to have a rest."

Tim sighed and left.

He should have known that it was impossible to persuade Leonardo. Even if Summer was here, she might not be able to persuade him. Once Leonardo made his decision, no one would be able to persuade him.

The next day was Saturday. Summer planned to take Rosie out. Rosie still had great interest in the amusement park.

On her way, Summer made a video call with Jessica. Jessica looked sad, "I really hope I could come to hang out with you, but I have work today."

"Enjoy your work!" Summer called Rosie over, "Say hello to Auntie Jessica."

Rosie smiled happily and didn't forget to show off to Jessica, "Auntie Jessica, we're going to eat fries!"

"I am so sad. I don't have any fries to eat." Jessica's mouth curled up and made a pitiful face.

Rosie blew a kiss to Jessica, "Dear Auntie Jessica, have a good day!"

Jessica was amused by her and pretended to snort fiercely. Summer finished her video call with Jessica and took Summer to eat fries.

They played all day and were very tired when they got home. When she helped Rosie take a bath, Rosie kept dozing off.

After taking Rosie back to her room, she searched online to replace some law firms in Hoover City that specialized in custody cases.

Leonardo had told her that he was getting married, which meant that there was no time to delay on this.

She had to start preparing for this matter now. She had to know the odds of her winning the case.

However, there was another problem. They had never publicly announced Rosie's existence. Once they fought a lawsuit, it was very likely that they would reveal Rosie to the public.

With Leonardo's status, there must be people who wanted to take pictures of Rosie.

She didn't want Rosie to live in public. She didn't want everyone to know that her parents got divorced since her childhood.

It was a shame to have divorced parents. However, children were sensitive. Everyone knew that her parents got divorced since her childhood. This would definitely have a great impact on her growth.

Summer rubbed the space between her eyebrows and was lost in thought. She sat in front of the computer until midnight. She had searched a lot of information, but she did not want to contact any of these firms.

Finally, she decided to ask Warren. Although Warren was only good at commercial and economic lawsuits, he should also have some understanding of this. She just wanted to ask Warren about her odds of winning against Leonardo.

Summer had a total of three days off. She went to the amusement park on Saturday and took Rosie to the zoo on Sunday.

It was a small zoo. They went there in the morning and went back at three in the afternoon.

Summer booked a flight ticket for Monday evening. She sent Rosie back to Leonardo's villa on Sunday evening.

Before she came, she called Tim and told him to tell Leonardo that she was to send Rosie back. When she brought Rosie to the entrance of Leonardo's villa, she saw Leonardo waiting there.

Summer got out of the car and took Rosie out of the car. Rosie hadn't seen Leonardo for two days. As soon as she got out of the car, she happily called out, "Daddy!"

Leonardo stood there unmoved, without saying a word. His gaze fell on Summer. Summer stood beside the car and looked at him.

"Mommy, I'm going to Daddy's home. When will you come back to see me?" Rosie pulled the corner of her clothes.

"Maybe you'll have to wait a few more weeks." Summer patted her head.

Rosie was somewhat disappointed. She reluctantly walked towards Leonardo.

"Bye, Rosie." Summer waved her hand.

Rosie walked to Leonardo. Although she was reluctant, she still waved her hand at her.

Summer glanced at Leonardo, he seemed thinner than before. She frowned slightly and then relaxed.

Perhaps he was getting thinner because of his marriage, since he had to handle all the work before marriage.

Summer mocked herself and turned around. She got on the car and drove away without looking back. Until Summer's car disappeared, Leonardo was still standing there.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
