Predestined Marriage
Chapter 765 Don't Remember

Leonardo took out his phone and glanced at it. The name "Amber" on the screen made him reluctant to answer the call. So he just threw it aside casually. He originally planned to put out the cigarette, yet now he continued smoking until there was only a butt left. Then he pressed it on the ashtray. After that, Leonardo reached out to pick up the phone he had thrown away earlier. Just as he picked it up, another call came in. It was still Amber.

Leonardo answered it expressionlessly. He did not say a word and just waited for her to speak up first.

"Why didn't you answer my phone?" Amber asked reproachfully.

"I was in a meeting." Leonardo didn't even blink his eyes as he lied, without changing his expression.

Yet, Amber's anger dissipated a little, and her tone softened, too. She said in an aggrieved manner, "Leonardo, I had an accident today in the wedding dress store..."

Leonardo turned on the speaker, walked to his desk holding his phone in hand and sat down. Then he put his phone on the desk, looking careless.

After a while, when Amber finished speaking, he added indifferently, "I still have several meetings today. I will go to the hospital to see you after work."

Actually, Amber wanted him to come and see her now and comfort her. But since Leonardo said he still had several meetings, she could only pretend to be tolerant and waited for him to come to see her at night.

But the words were already on the tip of her tongue and she was slightly unwilling to just give in, "You only focus on work! Which one is more important, me or your work? If you were with me today in the wedding dress store, maybe I wouldn't get hurt at all."

The corner of Leonardo's eye twitched slightly, and his tone remained the same. "You are important, and so is my work. But you're more important."

Amber said so much just to hear something nice from Leonardo. Leonardo's words were exactly what she wanted. There was already a trace of smile in her voice, "I know. Take care of yourself." "Get some rest." Leonardo's fingers tapped on the desk slowly and rhythmically. Obviously, he had run out of patience.

When Summer got back home, she mulled over what just happened and felt that Bruce was somewhat strange.

It wasn't the only eccentricity that he helped her deal with Amber. Everything seemed to be odd since he showed up here at the beginning. And he even agreed to be her bodyguard. But Summer couldn't tell why in particular.

And the thing about Trevin now echoed in her mind again.

All these things mixed together and made Summer somehow irritated. It was like there was some unseen force pushing them forward.

In the afternoon, Summer began to make soup for Jessica again. Before the soup was ready, Summer's phone rang.

She was busy with the soup and didn't notice who was calling. She directly answered, "Hello?"

"You go to pick up Rosie at the kindergarten this afternoon."

The deep voice of a man came from the phone. Summer was just about to lift the lid of the pot, and her hand suddenly paused. This was... Leonardo's voice!

Summer didn't say anything for a long time.

The man calling was already a little impatient, "You can't be there?"

"Doesn't Tim have time to pick her up?" Summer asked.

It seemed that Leonardo didn't want to say one more word to her as he only replied, "Yes."

"Then I'll pick her up later." As soon as she finished the sentence, Summer hung up the phone.

Summer always felt that if she hung up the phone first, she would win something. She couldn't help but laugh at herself.

There was still an hour before school was over, and the soup would be ready by then. She would first eat with Rosie, then send Jessica the soup.

Jessica liked Rosie, so she would definitely be happy to see the little cutie.

After the soup was ready, Summer turned off the stove and drove to pick up Rosie.

Rosie was standing at the gate of the kindergarten with her teacher. Seeing Summer get off the car from afar, she looked up and said something to her teacher. Then, she ran towards Summer. Summer squatted down to hug Rosie, then heard her asking in an adorable voice, "Mom, why did you suddenly come to pick me up?"

"Don't you want Mom to pick you up?" Summer scratched her nose in love and carried her into the car.

"Yes, I do~" Rosie kissed Summer on her face.

Summer laughed and buckled Rosie's seat belt.

Then Rosie muttered, "Dad said this morning that he would pick me up."

Summer was stunned for a moment. She reached out and patted Rosie's little face, saying in smile, "He is busy with his work, so Mom's here to pick you up." Rosie nodded, "OK."

Summer looked at Rosie from the rearview mirror and asked gently, "Do you remember Auntie Jessica? She's injured and in hospital now. Shall we go to see her after dinner?" "Why is she injured?" Rosie looked up, her big eyes filled with doubt.

"Because she wasn't careful. That's why you have be careful when taking the stairs or whatever. Don't hurt yourself." Summer explained to her warmly. Rosie nodded again, "I know."

Summer brought Rosie home and had dinner together. Then they left for the hospital with the soup.

Before she left, she called Jessica and told her she would take Rosie there.

Rosie had never been to a hospital before, so this was her first time visiting one and she was curious about everything.

They entered the elevator and stopped at the floor where Jessica's ward was.

This floor was for VIP wards. Normally, there would be no people around here. It was quiet and private.

Just as Summer came out of the elevator, she collided head-on with a man who was heading towards the elevator.

At the side, Rosie first exclaimed, "Dad."

Summer subconsciously tightened her grip on Rosie's hand a little bit. Her gaze landed behind Leonardo. Amber was in a wheelchair and turned her head to look at Summer.

This hospital did claim a spotless reputation. So basically, people of higher status would come here to see a doctor or to be hospitalized. Jessica was here. So it was normal that Amber was also here given her injury.

She just didn't expect that Amber would be on the same floor as Jessica.

Leonardo acted like he didn't see Summer at all. He just replied to Rosie, "Yes."

Rosie stood quietly beside Summer, looking at Leonardo and then at Summer with a puzzled face.

Seeing this, Amber asked the nurse behind her to push her forward. She smiled at Rosie and said, "Rosie, it's been a long time. Do you remember me?"

Rosie glanced at Amber and pouted, "No, I don't."

Hearing this, Amber's expression changed. She looked at Leonardo, "Leonardo ..."

"Summer!" Jessica's voice suddenly sounded. Summer looked over and saw that Jessica also came out in a wheelchair.

"You told me that you've arrived and I didn't see you all this time, so I thought I should come out and check on you..." Jessica came over on her own. When she got closer, she found the man in front of Summer was Leonardo, and the other one in a wheelchair was actually Amber.

Jessica exclaimed deep down. What an... exciting scene!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
