Summer smiled gently at Rosie, and then with a wave, gestured for her to come closer.
Rosie leaned forward.
Summer asked her, "Has your dad been like this since I went out?"
Summer was a bit away from Leonardo, and she deliberately lowered her voice. Naturally, Leonardo could not hear what she had said to Rosie.
Rosie shook her head and said truthfully, "I was chatting with Dad. Then I said I wanted to go out with you. After that, he has been ignoring me like this." Rosie pouted.
Summer was confused for a moment, but before long she understood. In her current situation, how could she go out with Rosie for fun?
Leonardo was always moody, so Summer thought Rosie didn't say anything wrong; he was angry over nothing.
Summer reached out and touched Rosie's head. "Dad has a bad temper. Don't be upset with him."
Rosie let out a sigh like an adult did and said, "If I got upset with him every time, I would have been angered to death."
Surprised, Summer opened her mouth, but no words came out.
"Are you done?" Leonardo's voice suddenly sounded.
Summer turned to look at him and saw that he was staring at her with an unhappy expression.
She said to Rosie, "Let's go to your dad."
Summer wheeled her wheelchair, and Rosie followed beside her with small steps.
Seeing this, Leonardo stood up and walked towards Summer. He pushed her towards the kitchen and said, "You didn't eat much just now. Have some more."
