Predestined Marriage

Chapter 236: You’re Prettier than That in the Photo

Summer did not react for a while.

Leonardo's auntie?

Summer was confused. Suddenly, she realized that Leonardo's auntie was Adams' mother.

She had never met Leonardo's auntie, and Leonardo had never mentioned his auntie to her. But

Summer could tell that Leonardo was good with his auntie from the relationship between him and

Douglas.

Even though Leonardo had only said this indifferently, Summer could still see that he was upset.

He wouldn’t have such big emotional ups and downs even he didn’t know how to get along with his

auntie after she knew that he and Adams fall apart...

Summer looked up at him. Then she asked softly, "Is there anything wrong with her coming back?"

Summer did not know what Alexander had said to Leonardo last time.

Leonardo’s eyes were fixed on her for two seconds and reached out to pull the bangs off her forehead.

Then he returned to normal and said calmly, "Nothing wrong, we may have to go back to the old house

tomorrow."

Although Summer had once told that she wanted to help him, these matters were too heavy. He did not

want her to be troubled by them.

He still hoped that she could be more relaxed and happier when she was with him.

Summer knew nothing about the kidnapping case back then. The more time passed, the more reluctant

Leonardo was to expose too much of the kidnapping case to her.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Summer had made preparations to return to the old house. She nodded very straightforwardly and

said, "Alright."

Summer’s answer surprised Leonardo.

However, the next morning, Leonardo knew that Summer was ready to return when he saw her take

out the luggage suitcase that had been packed long ago.

Leonardo laughed and put her suitcase back, "You don’t need to bring anything, and we’re just going

back for dinner."

"It's almost the New Year. You should return home this year, right?" Summer glanced at the suitcase

and wanted to bring it over again.

Quickly, Leonardo held her hand and said, "It's been so many years since I didn’t go back to the old

house for the New Year. So, it doesn't matter if I don't go back this year."

Summer was about to say something else but was interrupted by Leonardo, "Alright, let's go. Don't

think about these boring things."

But it's somewhat boring to go home for the New Year...

...

They returned to the old house together.

At the entrance was a group of servants and bodyguards welcoming them back. But they’re not as

exaggerate as the first time when Summer and Leonardo came back.

Summer had seen them once, so she was not that shocked this time.

Perhaps the number of her servants and bodyguards was increased recently. And she was used to

such a life.

With that thought, Summer felt that Leonardo was very generous to her.

It said that people might intrigue against each other in rich families. But she hadn't experienced it so

far.

Recently, Leonardo turned to too much gentler. And he listened to Summer in almost everything.

"Welcome home, Mr. Emerson, Mrs. Emerson."

Along the way, servants and bodyguards greeted them respectfully.

Then they reached the hall. But before Summer could see anyone inside, she heard a woman's excited

voice.

"Leonardo."

Summer looked around and saw a middle-aged woman in a dark red coat walking over.

She did not wear much makeup, nor did she wear any extra jewelry. But she looked very neat and

elegant.

She walked towards Leonardo and reached out to grab his arm.

Immediately, Summer understood that this woman must be Leonardo's auntie, Violet.

"Hi, Auntie," Leonardo greeted her expressionlessly. But he silently held Summer and took half a step

back, avoiding Violet's hand.

A trace of astonishment flashed across Violet's face.

Her hand was still slightly raised, just like that, frozen in the air.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Summer turned her head to look at Leonardo. Leonardo did not look at her, but his hand that held her

shoulder pinched her, comforting her to be at ease.

"We haven't seen each other in almost a year or two." Violet's expression had returned to normal. She

looked at Leonardo gently, "I heard that Douglas secretly ran back to you. I think that he might have

made you some trouble."

Leonardo nodded indifferently, "Yeah."

"..." He nodded??

"Hey, Leonardo! You nodded that I'm troublesome, I didn't make you any trouble!"

Douglas' voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Hearing this, Summer turned her head in surprise and saw Douglas walking over in a blue down jacket.

"Hi, Douglas!" She hadn't seen Douglas for a while and missed him quite a bit.

Douglas grinned and ran towards her, "Hi, Summer!"

"You seem to have grown taller again." Summer stretched out her hand to gesticulate and felt that

Douglas was slightly taller than before.

"You think so? I also think I'm a little taller, but Adams..." Douglas suddenly stopped, and then he

continued somewhat reluctantly, "They all didn’t think so."

Summer naturally recognized that he had just said the word "Adams".

It seemed that Douglas already knew what happened between Adams and Leonardo.

Summer smiled and patted him on the head.

Douglas scratched his head as if he was a little embarrassed and asked with concern, "You're

pregnant?"

He looked at Summer, "But you don’t look like."

"Silly boy, he's still small now. He will grow bigger after two months." Summer could not help but knock

him on the head.

"Isn't this Summer?"

Violet's voice sounded again. Then Summer and Douglas turned to look at her.

Only then did Summer realize that when she was talking to Douglas, Leonardo and Violet seem to

have said nothing.

She wasn’t that close to Leonardo when he was just speaking to Douglas then. Immediately, Leonardo

pulled her to him and introduced her succinctly, "This is my wife, Summer."

Then he looked at Violet and said to Summer, "Summer, this is my auntie."

Since Leonardo introduced Violet, Summer obediently greeted her, "Hi, Auntie, nice to meet you."

"You’re so beautiful." Violet laughed. She seemed to be very gentle.

After she finished that, she added, "You’re even more beautiful than in the photo."

Summer was surprised, "What photo?"

"I sent it to my mother." Douglas walked to Violet and reached out to hold Violet's shoulder, "I told you

long ago that Summer is very beautiful."

Summer could do nothing but smile.

"Stop standing here, go in and have a seat," said Michael. Nobody realized when he had walked in.

Summer was a little conflicted. Leonardo wasn’t good with Michael, so should she greet Michael or

not?

But Leonardo did not give her any time to hesitate. He held her in his arms and walked inside, "Let’s

get in."

As soon as Summer sat down, Douglas moved closer to her and asked her questions curiously.

No one mentioned Adams.

But then, Adams and Alisa walked in from outside.
