Summer blurted her guess, "I think he wants the child."
Unexpectedly, Jessica disagreed immediately, "Impossible. If Leonardo only wants to have a child, would he beat his brain and do so much? Many women want to give him a child! I figure, he hasn't given up yet..."
Hearing this, Summer was silent.
After a while, Summer continued, "Jessica, the most important thing to me now is the child. What Leonardo has done makes my very worried."
She didn't and had no time to think about whether Leonardo had given up or not.
"Why don't you run away like before?"
After saying that, Jessica retorted herself, "You're about to give birth, where can you go..."
Summer listened to Jessica's words, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.
Everything seemed to have returned to its original state.
At first, when she thought that she had successfully escaped, Leonardo stopped looking for her.
Later, when she thought that she could give birth to this child peacefully, she discovered that she was surrounded by Leonardo's people.
She could not understand what Leonardo was thinking, much less what he was going to do.
After getting off the phone with Jessica, Summer still felt uneasy.
She went out to look for Douglas.
"Summer?" When Douglas opened the door and saw Summer, he hurriedly moved aside and let her in.
Summer walked in and sat down on the sofa directly.
Douglas closed the door and walked in. "Do you want some water?"
Summer looked up at him and said with a serious tone, "Call Leonardo."
"What?" Douglas was stunned for a moment, and then he began to play dumb. "What are you talking about ... My cousin doesn't know I'm in Sydney, he..."
Although he was indeed instructed by Leonardo to come to Sydney, before coming here, Leonardo repeatedly warned him not to let Summer know that it was him who had sent him over.
As a result, he let the cat out of the bag on his first day?
Although Douglas was crafty and clever, he was just a child in Summer's eyes after all.
Summer directly ignored Douglas' words and said in an irrefutable tone, "Call him. I have something to tell him."
This tone was actually somewhat similar to Leonardo's.
Douglas could only take out his phone and call Leonardo.
After dialing, he turned on the speaker and placed the phone in front of Summer.
Summer lowered her eyes and looked at the phone. The screen of the phone showed that it was dialing a number which was still familiar to her.
Her hands hanging by her side involuntarily clenched tightly, and her heart beat abnormally for an instant.
At this time, the phone was connected.
A familiar voice came out of the phone. "What's up?"
Leonardo's voice was low and deep, but when it came out of the phone, it became even colder.
Summer opened her mouth slightly but suddenly did not know what she was going to say.
This was the first time she had heard Leonardo's voice since she left Hoover City nearly half a year ago.
Douglas saw Summer kept silent for a long time and wanted to remind her, but only reached out and nudged her without saying a word when he saw how absent-minded Summer was.
Only then did Summer regain her senses.
She pursed her lips and was about to speak when she heard Leonardo's voice again. "Summer."
His tone was calm and firm.
Before Summer could say anything, Douglas, who was next to her, became excited instead. "Cousin, are you omniscient? How did you know that it was Summer calling you?"
