Predestined Bride

Summer immediately hugged his neck. Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she realized what was happening.

She struggled to get down from his arms, “Douglas, put me down!”

Leonardo held her tightly in his arms. He ignored her struggle and put her on the passenger seat.

Summer wanted to get off the car as soon as she was seated.

Leonardo knew that she would do it. He supported the door with one hand and put the other on the car. He looked at Summer with a faint smile and said, “If you dare to get out of the car, I will kiss you.”

Hearing this, Summer pursed her lips and said through clenched teeth, “Shameless!”

Leonardo closed the door, got in the car from the other side and drove away.

Summer turned her head to the other side. She did not even want to look at the man beside her. The mere sight of him would annoy her.

Leonardo did not look at her either. He looked straight ahead and said indifferently, “You haven’t answered my question.”

Summer was shocked. Then she remembered his mocking tone. He asked her if she wanted to scam others.

Summer turned to glare at him, “I think it’s you who want to scam, right?”

Leonardo glanced at her and smiled. He seemed to imply something, “Your husband is the most promising man in the Hoover City. How dare I touch you?”

These words sounded like ridicule, but Leonardo seemed to feel proud when he said that.

Anyway, Summer felt that “Douglas” was strange.

She looked at “Douglas” carefully and found nothing out of the ordinary. He was the same as usual.

However, if “Douglas” saw her interview so quickly, did Leonardo see it?

With this thought, Summer felt a little uneasy.

The Emersons’ attitude was obvious from the beginning. After removing a few trending topics related to Leonardo, they did not make a move. In other words, as long as Leonardo was not involved, they would not care about the grudges between Summer and her family.

In today’s interview, the reporters’ questions about Leonardo were a bit excessive. Would her brash answers make Leonardo feel disgusted?

Summer organized her speech and decided to ask “Douglas” first, “Your cousin … did he see the interview?”

Leonardo recognized the hesitation in her tone and looked at her in surprise. His eyes flashed and he said, “Yes.”

Summer asked, “Then he…?”

Leonardo said with a natural expression, “He is very angry.”

Hearing this, Summer’s heart skipped a beat and she became even more uneasy.

She looked out of the window and realized that it was not the way back. She asked vigilantly, “Where are you going? I want to go back to the villa.”

Leonardo ignored her as if he hadn’t heard her words. He just stopped in front of a clinic on the roadside.

He got out of the car and opened the door for Summer, “Can you get out? Or shall I hug you?”

Hearing this, Summer hurriedly bent down and got out of the car.

“You want to buy medicine?” Summer asked curiously when she saw him walking to the clinic.

The man walking in front of her ignored her and continued walking to the clinic.

Summer followed up and heard him say to the doctor, “She fell and hurt her leg. Please take a look at her.”

Summer was shocked.

“Douglas” drove her to the clinic to check her legs.

When the doctor heard it, he looked at Summer and said gently, “Come in and I’ll help you see where you got hurt.”

“No, my leg is fine,” Summer said as she couldn’t help but look up at “Douglas”.

There was no expression on his face. When he stayed silent, he looked sharper and not like a playboy at all. Instead, he was so dominant, just like a king.

This kind of “Douglas” made her panic.

The doctor heard Summer’s words and looked at Leonardo. He smiled and said, “Your boyfriend cares about you. Just let me see.”

Summer immediately retorted, “We are not a couple!”

Leonardo smiled and didn’t say anything. He pointed at a female doctor not far away and said, “We want a female doctor.”

The doctor smiled again and seemed to understand Leonardo as he called the female doctor over.

The female doctor came over and blushed when she saw Leonardo. Then, she gently rolled up Summer’s trousers and looked at her knees.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Her legs were fair, slender, and straight. Even the female doctor could not help but praise her, “Your legs are beautiful.”

However, Summer felt uncomfortable when she thought of “Douglas” standing beside her. So, she put down her trousers.

Her knees were just a little red and swollen. It was not an injury to her. She did not know why “Douglas” had to make a fuss about it.

She turned her head and met his gaze.

He glanced at her legs as if he did it carelessly, “You’re quite resistant to falling.”

At that time, he saw her fall straight to the ground and did not stand up for a long time. So, he thought that her leg was seriously injured.

It was rare for him to have no sarcasm in his words. Instead, it was as if he was sighing.

…

Although Summer’s legs were fine, the doctor still gave her some potion.

After leaving the clinic, Leonardo went to open car door. But he turned around to find that Summer did not follow him but was still standing at the clinic’s door.

He turned around and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Summer, “What, your leg hurts so much that you can’t walk? Do you want me to hug you?”

Summer never thought that her temper was good. But she had never met a man as shameless as “Douglas” who could make her angry so easily.

She said with a poker face, “Thank you for today. If you have anything to do, you can go now. I’ll take a taxi back.”

Leonardo liked to see her putting up with him. He leaned against the car and said indifferently, “I’m not busy. I’m just going to eat with my friends. Let’s go together.”

Summer turned around and left.

She knew that she couldn’t talk to this man. And she didn’t know why he had been pestering her.

Could it be that he liked “ugly” women like her?

Summer walked a little further. Then she heard Douglas’s voice coming from behind her.

He seemed to be on the phone.

“I’m outside. Yeah, I met Miss Jarrett. We’re going to have lunch together. You won’t mind it, right? We’re … After all, we meet every day … We…”

Summer paused and turned around to see “Douglas” staring at her with a faint smile. The threat was self-evident.

She had no doubt that if she took another step forward, he would claim “Summer seduced me”.

She clenched her fists and subdued her anger as she walked to “Douglas”.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, “Miss Jarrett, you may get in the car. Leonardo and I have something to say.”

Seeing Summer get into the car, he took his phone to the front. It was a lock screen, which meant he was not calling anyone just now.
