After Jessica said so, she walked over and held Summer's arm.
As they were about to leave, Leonardo stood up and quickly walked in front of Summer. He held her hand and said, "Come home with me."
"I don't want to." Summer shook off his hand without even looking at him, her expression extremely cold.
A trace of gloominess flashed through Leonardo's pearl-like eyes. He tightened his jaw, and looked like he was suppressing his feelings. He clenched his hands into fists, then loosened them, and then clenched them tightly again...
Finally, he opened his mouth slightly and said softly in a low voice as if he was speaking to a child, "I'll pick you up in a few days."
He said it in an unquestionable tone. He was not asking for Summer's opinion, but informing her.
"Let's go." Summer ignored him and pulled Jessica out.
Carl looked at Leonardo and hesitated.
"I'll see them off." After saying that, Carl left the room.
And Leonardo was the only one left in the room.
He stood there motionlessly for a long time and then he slowly sat down on the sofa.
He bent his arms and placed his elbows on his knees. He supported his forehead with one hand and slightly leaned forward, looking very tired.
He even looked a bit fragile.
...
Carl's address was still unknown to the media.
However, he still stood at the entrance of the community for a long time to make sure there wasn't any reporter before letting Jessica and Summer leave.
He wanted to drive them to Jessica's place, but Leonardo was still at his home. So he could only watch as Jessica's car left. He waited at the entrance of the community for a few minutes to make sure that no one followed them before walking back.
However, he bumped into Leonardo at the elevator.
Leonardo walked out of the elevator with a cold expression. He looked at Carl and said, "I may need to bother you for the next few days."
Carl understood what he was referring to.
Summer obviously didn't want to see Leonardo now, so he could only ask Carl to take care of her.
Carl said half-jokingly, "You have been bothering me all the time. I wouldn't be used to it when you stop bothering me someday."
Leonardo didn't reply and walked towards the door.
Carl hurriedly stopped him, "What exactly happened this time? Is it really because of Adams?"
Leonardo paused for a moment, but left without answering Carl's questions.
After driving out of the community, Leonardo called Adams.
Adams immediately answered the phone. As if he was anxious to receive Leonardo's phone call.
"You finally called me?" Adams said slowly and he seemed to be smiling.
Leonardo's voice was ice-cold, "Where shall we meet?"
"My home."
Leonardo hung up the phone and drove directly to Adams' house.
When Adams came to open the door, Leonardo grabbed his shirt and pushed him into the house. Then Leonardo closed the door behind him.
