As a result, as Jessica sat on the sofa in the living room, she heard the extremely loud chopping sound coming from the kitchen.
Carl was sulking.
Recling on the sofa, Jessica looked in the direction of the kitchen. Then she sent the photos she just took to Summer.
Summer replied with a laughing face emoji. "It is said that cooking can make a man more handsome. Do you think so?" she asked.
Jessica smiled. She replied, "Yes, of course."
Summer sensed her happiness through her words.
Rosie was at home, so Summer always had an early dinner on time. She was having dinner with her family.
Leonardo turned his head. He saw Summer laughing with her phone in her hands. He asked, "What made you so happy?"
Summer handed him her phone.
Leonardo took a glance. After that, a smile flashed across his eyes.
Rosie was eating. Seeing her parents like this, she swept her gaze back and forth between Summer and Leonardo. She swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "I want to see it too."
Leonardo silently handed the phone to Rosie.
"Uncle Carl is cooking?" Rosie asked. Then she took a closer look. After that, she said, "in a woman's house."
Leonardo was a little surprised, "How do you know that?"
"He is wearing a pink apron. Uncle Carl once said a husky man like him wouldn’t like the color."
Leonardo stayed silent.
After hearing Rosie's words, Leonardo didn't know what to say.
He returned the phone to Summer. Then he said in a flat tone, "Carl has never cooked for me."
Summer heard a trace of envy in his tone. This was quite unusual.
"Rosie, you..." Leonardo was stunned.
Summer interrupted him and changed the topic, "Jessica said that she would treat us to dinner with Carl sometime. When are you free?"
Leonardo said, "I'm never free."
In Rosie's eyes, Carl was young and handsome. But he, her father, would be an old man if he frowned.
Recently, she literally called him "old man".
He didn't want to see Carl, the middle-aged single man.
Summer knew that was just his angry talk. So she smiled and said, "This weekend then."
Leonardo said nothing and showed no objection.
Seeing this, Summer smiled. Then she lowered her head to reply to Jessica's message. She also told Jessica that they were free this weekend.
