Summer sat down opposite to Jessica. She was not so optimistic as Jessica, "Not necessarily."
Jessica asked, "Then what are you planning to do next?"
"I think I should give him two days to calm down first, and then I'll try talking to him the next time I go to see Rosie. He behaved like that only because he has lost the memories of the past few years and doesn't love me now. I can't just be angry with him, can I?"
Summer sighed and closed her eyes shortly. Her tone was somewhat upset, "Even if I really wanted to be angry with him, he wouldn't come to coax me like before."
Even she herself did not notice the grievance in her tone.
Jessica did not know what else she could say. She just felt that it was indeed difficult to resolve the problem between her and Leonardo.
Ever since Summer and Leonardo parted in discord the other day, Leonardo had not seen Summer for a while.
Recently, Leonardo had seen Summer quite frequently in his life. Just after a few days without her, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Tim was acutely aware of the fact that Leonardo had returned home after work without going to Summer's place for supper in the past few days.
And he also noticed that Rosie was sent back to Leonardo's place.
Tim wondered if something he didn't know had happened between those two again.
Tim placed a stack of documents in front of Leonardo, "Mr. Emerson, these are urgent documents."
Leonardo was sitting expressionlessly in the executive chair behind his desk. His hands were placed on the armrests of the chair, and his eyes were not fixed on anything.
But as he heard Tim's voice, he still replied, "Okay."
Tim was puzzled, but he didn't ask Leonardo what was going on.
Just as Tim was about to leave, Leonardo suddenly stopped him.
"Tim."
"Mr. Emerson, anything else?"
Tim immediately turned to look at Leonardo and asked him respectfully.
"You and your wife ..." Leonardo's eyebrows were knitted even more tightly.
He seemed a little irritated. He paused for a moment and then continued, "Do you guys fight?"
Tim was a little surprised that Leonardo had asked such a question, but he kept a straight face, "Of course we do."
Leonardo seemed to be very interested in this question. He looked up at Tim and asked seriously, "What happens after you guys have a fight?"
"She ignores me, and I ... I ignore her." This was the first time that Leonardo had asked him about something that private, so Tim was also a little embarrassed.
The look on Leonardo's face became more serious, "What else do you do then?"
Leonardo might not even have noticed that there was an apparent puzzled look on his face when he was asking that question.
Tim knew his boss very well, so he was almost certain that Leonardo had had a fight with Summer.
Maybe it wasn't so accurate to say that it was a fight. It was very likely that Leonardo had said something harsh that irritated Summer, so the two of them were not on speaking terms.
"If it isn't a matter of principle, I would usually go to make peace with her first. Women are more sensitive, and sometimes they are just being emotional."
Tim felt that it was not a bad thing that Leonardo would take the initiative to ask him something like that.
A matter of principle?
Leonardo thought of the newspaper article and said coldly, "Is that guy called Jerome really Summer's first love?"
It was true that he had lost some of his memory now, but he knew everything he needed to know.
Before he and Summer became a couple, he had never had a single girlfriend. What about Summer? She even had a first love before him.
Tim broke out in a cold sweat.
This was totally a question of life and death.
