Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 244

Summer opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say.

Leonardo let go of her and said in a rare gentle tone, "It's time for you to take a nap."

After Summer became pregnant, she developed the habit of taking a nap. Not long, but she just rested for a while routinely.

She was a little confused, so she nodded her head and said, "Yes."

She lay on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking that she would not be able to sleep, but soon she fell asleep.

Seeing Summer fall asleep, Leonardo tucked her in and got up.

He gently closed the door behind him and walked to a jujube tree in the courtyard.

It was planted by her mother when he was very young. He didn't remember exactly how old he was that year.

It was midwinter, and the tree was bare without a leaf. There was not even a single leaf under it because servants cleaned the courtyard every day.

Footsteps came from behind.

Adams’ voice reached up to his ears. "Everyone said we were close. Well, it's just what it looks like." They were about the same height and size. Standing and facing each other, they seemed like two knights in a duel."

Adams smiled, his tone gentle as usual, "You terminated my contract only because of Summer, and you bought the trolls to slander me. What closeness did we have, huh?"

Leonardo did not even blink his eyes. "You forsook your dignity only because of Vicky. You are no better."

"You are no better."

Leonardo's words fiercely struck Adams.

His face contorted into something awful. "Why on earth do you look down on me?"

Leonardo remained expressionless and said, "I do look down on you. If you are against me, come straight at me. Don't harm a woman, especially a pregnant one."

Vicky was instigated by Adams when she drove a car towards Summer.

It was precisely because of this matter that Leonardo was thoroughly enraged.

"Oh, and about the trolls, I didn't do it. And I don't have to. Who do you think you are after you left Tip Top? You're just Adams. Who knows how others want to do with you?"

There wasn't any disdain in Leonardo's tone, but Adams could feel it in every word.

Adams clenched his fists and suppressed his anger as he said, "Uncle wants me to go to the company!"

Leonardo replied lightly, "Whatever."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the time.

Normally, Summer would sleep for 40 minutes to an hour. He could have a cigarette before he came back. Summer would probably wake up then.

Leonardo took out a cigarette and lit it as if no one else was around.

Seeing Leonardo completely ignoring him, Adams didn't intend to humiliate himself. He took a significant look at him and left.

Because of what happened to his mother, Leonardo had been quiet since he was a teenager. Adams became close to Leonardo because of Douglas.

Then Leonardo ran a film company and he joined in. Their relationship became closer.

Adams was just eighteen ten years ago.

Even though he grew up as a good boy in others' eyes, he wanted to be rebellious.

So he went into entertainment industry without a word to his family.

He did not have much hope at the beginning, nor did he have any purpose. He didn't like what he did. And he never thought Leonardo could run this company so well.

Life was unpredictable.

He happened to enter this industry, and he stayed in it for ten years.

After ten years, Tip Top had also become the leading company in this industry.

Ten years had also strengthened their relationship.
