Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 4

The black car stopped in front of Edison's villa.

Summer was about to unfasten the seat belt. Leonard, next to her, leaned over. With his slender and beautiful fingers, he pressed lightly on the dark buckle of the seat belt. The seat belt was immediately released with a slight snap.

His face was handsome and compelling and was getting closer to her. As they faced each other, Summer s mind settled and was as still as water. She couldrểt help but blush when she looked at his face, and there was a trace of confusion in her glassy eyes.

This man's face is pretty enough to attract any woman he wants.

But then Summer remembered what he had done yesterday, and her look returned to normal.

He's nothing but a rich and nasty young kid who covets his sister-in-law, like a spoiled child who wants what he can't get.

She lifted her head and adjusted her glasses. Her face showed little emotion and she said, "In getting off."

Leonardo narrowed his eyes, there was a look of anger in his eyes.

Summer was keenly aware of this change and tried to get out of the car. As she was opening the door though, an arm caught her hand and grabbed her.

He was strong, with his long arms across her. Looking from the outside, it almost seemed like he was holding her in an embrace.

Through her glasses, he looked straight at her which were as clear as water, and said deliberately, 'l took you home, don I deserve a 'thank you ?”

She lowered her head, flinching a little, and whispered, "Thank you."

People in the Edison family usually left her alone if she acted so demur. She hoped “Douglas” would feel the same and just back off.

Leonardo looked at her slightly closed pink lips and his face got darker. He said softly, '!t sẳeems your appreciation ¡s insincere. I guess I have to take that thanks: myself.”

With the thought, he leaned over and kissed her lips.

As he was kissing her, he thought, she's my legitimate wife, why should I hide my desire to kiss her?

She stared at the enlarged face in front of her eyes, reaching out to push him away, only to find that her hands had been clasped tightly.
