Predestined Marriage
Chapter 779 Let Go

After Jessica left, there were only Summer, Trevin and Stanley standing at the entrance of the courthouse.

Trevin said to Summer, "I'll drive you home. We can talk about something on the way."

Summer nodded, turning around to leave.

Then, she thought of something and turned to look at Stanley, "Stanley, are you happy now?"

Stanley looked up. There were mixed feelings in his eyes.

"But are you really happy? Are you happy to see me and Leonardo split up and turn against each other?" Summer looked at him, asking with resentment.

Stanley opened his mouth but did not say anything.

Summer sneered at him and then got in the car, followed by Trevin.

With a gloomy face, Stanley watched them leaving.

'Was I happy?'

'No.'

'What was happiness?'

'Since when was all I knew scheming?'

His foster father, the famous philanthropist, appreciated his schemes.

He didn't know what happiness was. He only knew that he would feel happy every time he attained his end by hook or by crook. But soon he would feel upset and empty. Sitting in the car and looking at the buildings outside the window, Summer said with fatigue, "I was born and grew up in Hoover City. And I'm tired of it now whenever I look at it." Trevin said, "Then leave this city."

Summer turned to look at him while he continued, "If you want to stay in the country, we can go to another city. If you don't want to stay in the country, we can go abroad."

"We?" Summer asked.

"Don't forget what you promised me. As long as you win the case, you'll consider being my girlfriend." Trevin winked at Summer, looking like a playboy again.

Summer's mind drifted away. After a while, she said, "Okay."

"You don't have to worry about the case. Even if Leonardo appeals, it's likely to be dismissed. The news on his fiancée's getting pregnant was everywhere now. It's unfavorable to him. Besides, everyone's talking about him. It will affect Rosie...."

Trevin said a lot to Summer, some of which she could understand, while the others she couldn't. Soon, they arrived at the residential area where Summer lived.

Before getting off the car, Summer smiled and said, "Thanks for driving me home."

"Have a good rest. After the case, we can talk about us." Trevin still looked like a playboy, but Summer didn't mind anymore.

'Leonardo had started a new life. What about me?'

'Rosie liked Trevin. And Trevin had spared no effort to help me in this case.'

'Trevin could make a good boyfriend.'

Seeing Trevin's car away, Summer turned around and entered the building.

As soon as going into the elevator, Summer felt relaxed.

She leaned against the wall with a weary face, tilting her head slightly. She tried to empty her mind, but there were all kinds of thoughts running through it.

The elevator stopped.

It was the floor where Summer lived. She stood up and walked out. She felt that her mind went blank again. She was supposed to be happy because of winning the case. However, she felt sad. She opened the door. The light was off, and the curtains were drawn. Even if it was daytime, it was dark in the room.

Summer was too tired to turn on the light. She closed the door, changed her shoes, and walked towards the sofa.

Just as she was about to reach the sofa, she felt that there was something wrong.

"You're back," said a deep voice in the darkness.

Summer froze and said in disbelief, "Leonardo!"

Someone was moving on the sofa. Then, the cold man was approaching Summer. She couldn't see anything in the darkness, so she just stepped back.

A powerful arm held her waist. Then, she was pressed against his warm chest.

Summer was shocked, beginning to struggle, "Leonardo, what are you doing? You stayed with Amber in the hospital and didn't go to the court. Why are you here? Let go of me!"

"Let go of you?" Leonardo whispered in her ear, "If I let go of you, who's going to set me free?"

Summer did not understand what Leonardo was saying. She felt that Leonardo was trying to take revenge on her.

"If you consider yourself a man, please leave right away! I was wrong to drug you in the Golden Cauldron Club that day. But if you don't have feelings for Amber, would you sleep with her? Would she get pregnant? Leonardo, if someone's to blame, it's you! You are in no position to take revenge on me."

After drugging Leonardo, Summer felt that she was a despicable and dirty person.

However, at this moment, she stopped feeling guilty.

"Summer, you're wrong about one thing. If I consider myself a man, what I should do now is not to leave, but...." Instead of keep talking, Leonardo started sizing her up. Summer went to the court today. In order to look smart, she wore a shirt and suit pants.

Her shirt was tucked into her pants. She got slimmer, so Leonardo pulled out the shirt without putting any effort. Then, his large, rough hands touched her smooth skin. Leonardo hadn't touched her for a long time, but it was still so familiar for Summer. She couldn't help but shiver.

Instead of feeling sexy, she felt disgusted. Leonardo used the hands that had touched another woman to touch her!

Tightening her body and trying to move Leonardo's hands out of her clothes, Summer said in a cold voice, "For Rosie's sake, we should show some respect for each other."

Leonardo quieted down, as if he was thinking about Summer's words.

Seeing this, Summer continued, "You have Amber and the child in her belly now. You are going to get married next month. Please show some respect for your own choice and your future wife and child." Summer tried to withdraw her hand from his, but she found that it was impossible.

She knew how strong Leonardo was. He could beat two young, strong men down by himself, let alone keep her from moving away.

She didn't have breakfast, and it was already noon. She was hungry and tired. If she continued to stand here with Leonardo, she might pass out.

Just as she was about to continue speaking, she felt her feet in the air.

In the next moment, she was carried away by Leonardo and put onto his shoulder.
