Predestined Bride

Summer tilted her head and said crisply, “I’m not going.”

Leonardo was surprised.

Summer stretched out her hand and removed his hand from her chin. “Stop pinching my chin. It hurts.”

Seeing Summer so obviously rejecting him, Leonardo stared at her and asked, “What do you want, Summer?”

“I want to write my script. I felt creative recently.” Summer pushed him away and stood up, and then she walked upstairs.

She hadn’t gone out for days since her photos were exposed online.

She might not be able to work in Tip Top anymore.

She didn’t know what else to do except concentrate on the script.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Clenching his fists, Leonardo just stood there and saw Summer going upstairs.

…

Leonardo pulled a few strings and quickly set the news to rest.

In show business, news came and went. People would forget it once there was something new.

That was also why so many celebrities were buying their ways to the top trending topics.

To Summer’s surprise, Adams also posted on Weibo and explained why he would have dinner with her.

He just made up an excuse and those netizens were buying it.

Those netizens no longer cared, but Summer’s life was greatly affected.

More than a week later, Jessica asked Summer out.

Summer and Leonardo were not on speaking terms because of the wedding.

Leonardo was so busy that Summer barely saw him. And she was also busy writing the script.

Although they ate under the same roof and slept on the same bed, there was little communication between them.

However, Leonardo still arranged for a driver and bodyguards to escort her when he knew Summer was going out.

Summer refused him without thinking, “There’s no need. I’m just hanging out with Jessica.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a chill down her spine.

Summer paused for a moment and walked out calmly.

However, those poor bodyguards all quietly stood at the side, not daring to breathe.

Leonardo took a deep breath and said to them, “You hear me.”

His words were squeezed out of his mouth word by word. They were shocked when they heard his words. They immediately replied in unison, “Yes, sir.”

Then they quickly ran out together, as if a ghost was chasing after them.

Just as Summer walked outside the villa, she heard footsteps behind her.

Before she could turned her head, the bodyguards had already stood in front of her.

A black car stopped in front of her. Immediately, a bodyguard pulled open the door and said, “Mrs. Emerson, please.”

The other bodyguards surrounded her. It looked like they were inviting her into the car, but in fact, they were afraid that she would run away.

Summer didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

What a pack of loyal bodyguards.

They were as unreasonable as Leonardo was.

“Alright, alright. I’ll get in.” After Summer finished speaking, she bent down and got into the car.

The bodyguards felt Summer had seen through everything.

…

She just wanted to go shopping with Jessica to relax, but Leonardo asked such a large group of bodyguards to follow her.

They followed her wherever she went. There was no way to keep a low profile even if she wanted to.

When Jessica saw she was followed by a group of bodyguards, her eyes widened. “Oh, my God. Even the queen didn’t have so many bodyguards.”

Summer turned to look at them.

When they felt her gaze, they all looked away.

Summer sighed, “I’m not queen, but Leonardo is definitely a drama king.”

With so many bodyguards, Summer and Jessica could only went for a stroll, and then they went to a restaurant.

Because there were so many of them, Summer and Jessica had to book a private room.

They also ordered some food for the bodyguards in the hall outside the private room.

The bodyguards had followed her for long, and they were starving. As soon as they sat down, they began to gorge themselves.

Jessica peeped through the crack of the door, then she told Summer to change her clothes and they sneaked away.

It couldn’t be called shopping when a group of bodyguards was following them.

They slipped out through the back door of the restaurant and went to the night market behind their high school.

They bought some mutton shashlik at a roadside stall and chatted while eating.

“Sometimes I miss the life in high school.”

“Why?” Jessica’s mouth was full of oil and grease. She asked her while taking out a tissue.

Summer smiled, “Because it’s simple.”

Apart from going to school, she also played the invisible daughter at home. Thinking back, Summer found it not bad.

Hearing Summer’s words, Jessica thought of something and threw the unfinished shashlik into the trashcan. “I don’t miss high school very much.”

Just as Summer was about to ask her why, a familiar voice reached up to her ears.

“Summer.”

It was from a man. It sounded familiar, but she couldn’t remember who it was.

Looking back, she discovered that it was Jerome, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.

Jerome smiled the moment he saw Summer.

He ran towards Summer through the crowd, his tone filled with excitement. “It’s really you!”

Without waiting for Summer to speak, Jessica directly stood in front of her and said, “Jerome? Why are you here?”

This night market was not in a bustling area. The things sold were cheap. Only the residents and some students would come to this neighborhood. It was obviously no coincidence that Jerome would come to such a place.

When Jerome saw Jessica, he said in surprise, “Oh, you are here, too.”

Jerome and Jessica were somewhat related. But Jessica didn’t know how they were related. They occasionally saw each other at family banquets and gatherings. They knew each other, but they did not like each other.

Jessica hated Vicky, so she naturally didn’t like Jerome, who had been with Vicky for a while. She crossed her arms and asked with raised eyebrows, “I’m asking you a question.”

Probably seeing Summer say nothing, he explained, “I saw you guys in the restaurant before, but I wasn’t sure, so I followed you here.”

Hearing this, Jessica asked sharply, “What do you want?”

The color drained a little from Jerome’s face. He no longer spoke to Jessica and gently said to Summer, “Summer, I have something to tell you.”

“Well?” Summer looked at him stonily.

She did not feel it was something good.

Jerome glanced at Jessica, which meant apparently that he wanted Jessica to give them some space.

Jessica just ignored him.

“Forget it if you don’t want to say it.” Summer said indifferently and was about to leave with Jessica.

“Wait.” Jerome stopped Summer and said anxiously, “Summer, do you want to be with me?”

Summer was lost for words.

Jessica was also dumbfounded.
