Predestined Marriage

Chapter 168: Smart People Don't Do Stupid Things

The driver poked his head out of the window and shouted to Laura in the dialect, "Miss, you haven't

paid yet! And the ticket!"

"I know!" Laura impatiently turned around. She took out a few bills from her bag and threw them into

the car.

The driver said discontentedly, "Miss, you said that you will give me a hundred thousand if I can catch

up to that car!"

Laura sneered, "Why don't you go steal some?"

"You don't want to keep your word, do you?" The driver opened the door and got out of the car. This

beefy man looked a little scary with a fierce face.

There weren't many people here. Even though Laura was arrogant, she was a little afraid.

However, she didn't give the driver 100,000 yuan after all. She just gave him all the cash she had.

Although Laura felt a little aggrieved about it, she couldn't help but feel excited when she thought that

she would be able to hook up with the young master of the Emerson Group.

...

When Summer returned home, Ava walked out to greet her.

"Mrs. Emerson, you're back." Ava smiled and narrowed her eyes slightly, looking gentle and loving.

Summer liked her very much. She smiled at Ava and said, "Yeah. But I have to go on a business trip

tomorrow. I'll go upstairs and pack my things now."

"Hurry up and go. When Mr. Emerson gets home, we can have dinner."

"OK."

Summer returned to her room and pulled out her suitcase. Only then did she realize that she did not

know how long she was going on this business trip.

Probably only for one week.

As Summer thought about this, she got up and went to the cloakroom to get her clothes.

It would be just a week. An extra coat and a suit of clothes would be enough.

She put the clothes on the bed and bent over to fold them. Then she heard the door open.

Summer turned around and saw Leonardo standing at the door.

She smiled at him. "You're back."

Leonardo walked to her. He pulled her hand and placed it at the collar of his shirt, signaling her to

loosen his tie.

Leonardo didn't seem to be afraid of the cold. Even it was winter, he would wear a shirt and a suit.

Sometimes, he would add a duffle coat. But normally, he wouldn't do it.

Summer was a little jealous. He could dress so elegantly, but she had to wear layers!

So, she intentionally tightened Leonardo's tie. The tight collar constricted his neck.

Although Leonardo remained expressionless as he always did, it can been easily seen that he was not

angry.

He patted her hand that was pulling his tie and said gently, "Stop."

Summer curled her lips and loosened his tie.

Leonardo touched the back of her head, lowered his head and kissed on her lips. He deliberately said

in his deep and charming voice, "This is a reward."

Summer sneered to show that she didn't care about his "reward".

Leonardo seemed to be a little angry, so he kissed her hard and asked, "You're going on a business

trip?"

This man got the news so fast. She only mentioned it to Ava, and he knew it when he came back.

Summer nodded. While fiddling with the buttons on his suit, she said, "Well, Grandpa called me and

asked me to accompany him on the business trip. It might be a last-minute decision. I have to go

tomorrow."

Hearing that, Leonardo stayed silent. He narrowed his eyes, and his dark eyes were gloomy. Summer

did not know what he was thinking.

"What’s on your mind?" Summer stretched out a finger and poked his chest.

Leonardo grabbed her finger and said in a low voice, "Don't worry. No matter what, your grandfather is

smarter than Lynn and the others."

Smart people wouldn't do stupid things.

Regardless of the reason why Alexander asked Summer to accompany him on the business trip, he

would make sure that Summer could return unscathed.

The other members of the Jarrett family still thought that Leonardo was Douglas, but Alexander knew

the truth.

When Leonardo accompanied Summer back to the Jarretts' for dinner that day, he was showing to

Alexander that Summer was his wife and a member of the Emersons. The Jarretts should not do

anything stupid to challenge the authority of his family.

Summer glared at him. "Oh, you know him well!"

Leonardo touched her head and looked at the clothes she was about to pack up on the bed.

Leonardo picked up the coat and looked down at her. "Isn't it too thin?"

Summer just tugged at his suit jacket and repeated in his tone, "Isn't it too thin?"

Leonardo's words which had been coming choked.

"I'm a man, so I'm not afraid of the cold." As Leonardo spoke, he took his coat into the cloakroom and

walked out with a down jacket.

Oh, not the long down jacket again.

Summer curled her lips and felt speechless.

"I'm not afraid of the cold either!" Summer retorted. She was a young girl in her early twenties, okay?

How beautiful and youthful she would be in a thin coat and a skirt!

However, Leonardo ignored her words.

He folded the down jacket and stuffed it into her suitcase. He then folded the rest of her clothes and put

them in one by one.

He was very skilled and looked like as if he did these things often.

Summer was a little puzzled. "You know how to fold clothes and pack the luggage!"

Leonardo was the eldest young master of the Emersons, and he even knew how to do that.

When Vicky was at home, the servants folded her clothes and packed her luggage. Sometimes, Karen

would help her do it.

"I pack my own luggage when I'm on a business trip." As Leonardo spoke, he went to the bathroom to

get her toiletries.

Summer was flattered and followed him. "I can do it myself."

Leonardo looked at her with a faint smile and stepped back, letting Summer collect these things

herself.

Summer felt that she knew too little about Leonardo.

She thought that he was a tyrannical and unpredictable young master. She never expected that he

could pack his luggage and fold his clothes more neatly than she did.

The atmosphere was nice, so Summer thought that it was a good time to change the topic.

"Who taught you it?" She asked casually.

Leonardo stayed silent for a moment before he said, "My mother."

Summer stopped packing. She realized that she had asked a wrong question again. She felt sorry and

fell silent for a moment. But she didn't know what to say.

"Why you look like that?" Leonardo pinched her face and said in a calm voice, "These years, no one

dared to mention her in front of me. But sometimes, I also want to hear people talk about her. It has

been too long. She will be forgotten, but those who harmed her live peacefully. This is unfair."

Summer looked at Leonardo. Her heart ached, and she just wanted to hug him.

And she did it. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Leonardo bent down and buried his face on her shoulder. He sniffed deeply and tightened his arms.

Then he said, "You can refuse Alexander and not go on that business trip."
