Summer's indifference embarrassed Karen somewhat.
She withdrew her hand then and turned to look at Jerome.
Jerome smiled warmly at her. And he looked like a man of the right kidney.
Karen became even more resolute, "Summer, let's get out here, then we talk about it, OK?"
Summer turned around and walked out.
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Jerome strode over to Summer to talk to her.
However, he was stopped by a bodyguard before he could get close to Summer.
Jerome's expression changed slightly, but then he returned to normal. He said jokingly, "I just want to talk to you. He is so vigilant. Does Leonardo treat you as a prisoner?"
He sounded like he was joking with a close friend.
However, Summer knew that she wasn't that good with him. Naturally, she didn't think that this was a joke.
Was he intentionally saying this to play her off against Leonardo?
She didn't know what was wrong with Jerome. Why did he have to put her on the spot?
"Mr. Jerome, you must have a bad understanding when you were studying, weren’t you? Otherwise, how could you not even know what a bodyguard means? Do you want me to explain to you what a bodyguard means?"
Summer looked at Jerome mockingly.
Jerome felt that the way Summer looked at him was like looking at a clown.
"Of course, I know what a bodyguard means. But I just want to get closer to talk to you. How can he stop me? Isn’t this excessive?" Jerome said stubbornly because he felt ashamed.
But Summer replied in an indifferent tone, "It's not excessive. After all, we aren’t close friends."
Suddenly, Karen said, "Summer, don't talk to Jerome like this. I know that there is a misunderstanding between you and him. For the sake of that he had taken care of me during this period, can you make peace with him?"
‘Had taken care of you?’
‘Did he do that out of sincerity?’
Summer did not know how Jerome met Karen and why he took care of her.
But she knew seldom people would do others’ a favor if he had no attempt.
Summer didn’t believe that Jerome had taken care of Karen because he had been together with Vicky before.
"There's no misunderstanding between us. Make peace for what?" Summer pretended to be puzzled as she looked at Karen, "Vicky is your daughter. And she had an engagement with Mr. Jerome before. Naturally, a kind person like Mr. Jerome will take care of you when he sees you are in trouble."
Karen was speaking up for Jerome. It seemed that Jerome had taken good care of her and coaxed her well these past few days.
"Summer..."
"I’m busy, and I have to go." Summer pretended to look at the time and said, "I'm sure that Mr. Jerome, who is so kind-hearted, won't mind sending his ex-fiancée's mother home, will he?"
Jerome had taken care of Karen intending to get close to Summer.
He had a better understanding of the Jarretts', so he naturally knew that Summer treated her mother very well.
But now, it wasn’t the case.
After Summer said that, Jerome only had to reply, "Of course, it's my pleasure."
"OK, see you."
Summer did not see Karen before she turned around and got into the car.
