Rosie widened her bright eyes and looked like she had been tricked, "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't tell Mom?"
Leonardo thought for a moment and said, "Did I?"
"Yes, you did!" Rosie stamped her foot with anxiety, "I said that I would behave well, and you wouldn't tell Mom about that!"
"I remember..." Leonardo seemed to recall it finally. He bent down slightly and looked at Rosie's eyes, "But did I agree to it at that time?"
"You said you would say how I behave.
Doesn't that mean you have agreed?" Rosie pursed her lips in anger.
Rosie was a delicate and pretty girl. Even when she was angry, she was still adorable.
Leonardo stifled his laughter and pretended to be serious, "Just as you said, I only said to see how you behave."
Rosie was about to cry. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and said angrily, "I hate you."
Then she was going to run away. Leonardo quickly grabbed her and picked her up.
Rosie struggled in his arms, "Let go of me! Leonoodle, put me down!"
Although Rosie could now clearly pronounce "Leonardo", she would still call him "Leonoodle" when she was angry. This was Rosie's special way of calling her dad.
Up to this day, Summer and Rosie were the only ones who dared to challenge Leonardo's authority.
Rosie lived with Leonardo until she was three years old.
But at that time, Leonardo brought Rosie with him just because she was his daughter.
Later, Summer came back. Leonardo recalled what had happened before. From then on, to Leonardo, Rosie was the daughter of Summer and him.
