Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 300

The glimmer of smile deepened in Jerome's eyes, "Tell me your phone number."

Summer gave Jerome her phone number.

After storing the number into his phone, Jerome said, "Are you going back now? Let me drive you home."

Summer, of course, would not get on his car.

"Don't bother. I can go back by myself."

Jerome did not force her. "Goodbye, then."

Seeing Jerome's car off, Summer took a taxi home.

After taking a shower, she received a phone call from Eliza.

Eliza asked as soon as Summer answered the phone, "Did Bowen say anything after I left?"

"What do you expect?" Summer took the rare chance to tease her.

In fact, she knew that Eliza liked Bowen.

However, she was rather surprised. Bowen seemed to have been born into a poor family. Judged by the way he acted, he was a stable man, calm but not dull.

It was easy for a woman to fall in love with him.

Eliza looked extremely anxious. “Tell me quickly if he said anything!"

Summer advised her, "Why don't you ask him yourself?"

"Well, it's a long story," Eliza sighed.

In the end, Summer told her the truth, "He did ask me what we had talked about, but I asked him to go to you. Are you happy with that?"

After a moment of silence, Eliza said at the end of the phone in a faint voice, "I don't think he will come."

Jerome had mentioned that he wanted Summer to do him a favor in a few days.

But in the end, Summer was informed that she should accompany Jerome to a banquet.

When Summer knew it, she refused at once. "You can find someone else. I can't help you with this."

Leonardo had asked her not to meet Jerome.

How could it be possible to drive Jerome out of her sight? But she could refuse to attend the banquet with him.

Although the Patels wasn't as powerful as the Jarretts, it still had a say in the Hoover City. She did not want to see gossips spreading again after she showed up with Jerome in the banquet.

Jerome seemed to have anticipated that she might refuse early on, so he calmly replied, "You promised me earlier. You never go back on your words."

"But I can do it now." Summer rejected firmly.

After a long silence, Jerome stared at Summer for a while and said in a ridiculed tone, "Because of Leonardo?"

Summer stiffened for a moment without saying anything.

Everyone thought that she had truly broken up with Leonardo, but Jerome did not think so.

Jerome did not mind Summer’s silence. Instead, he leaned closer to her and said softly, "Summer, I know you better than anyone else. I know what you are thinking and what you want."

Summer was not used to men other than Leonardo being so close to her. She retreated, but Jerome suddenly reached out to grab her wrist and said, "Leonardo is not for you. His family is too complicated."

"What do you mean?" Summer narrowed her eyes and questioned, "When I went abroad, you said the same thing to me at the airport. You mentioned that his family was complicated. How complicated it can be? How much do you know?"

Jerome did not expect that Summer would give him so many rhetorical questions.

Her tone and eyes were filled with aggressiveness. The smile at the corners of Jerome's mouth faded and he said in a serious tone, "I won't hurt you. In the past, I might have used you like Vicky and the others, but I'm now doing everything for your own good."

"What do you know about the Emersons? Tell me." Summer became more certain that Jerome had known something.

"Are you so eager for the answer?" Summer nodded.

Jerome loosened his grip on Summer’s wrist and said with a cold face, "Attend the banquet with me. I'll tell you everything after that."
