After receiving Leonardo's reply, Summer hung up without asking more questions.
Leonardo, on the other hand, stared at the phone that was hung up for a long time, and then put it down thoughtfully.
After leaving work, Leonardo first went back to his villa and took Rosie with him to Summer's place.
When they arrived, Summer was not cooking the meal.
She was making a stew.
Fungi were added to the stew, which gave off a strong fragrance.
As soon as Rosie entered, she smelled the fragrance and immediately ran to the kitchen, "It smells good!"
Her voice was sweet and a little loud, but it didn't sound exaggerated.
Summer heard her voice and walked out of the kitchen.
"Rosie?" she didn't expect Leonardo to bring Rosie along.
"Mom!" Rosie ran over and hugged Summer's leg, "I miss you so much!"
Summer's heart softened when she heard this. She picked Rosie up and said, "I miss you too."
Rosie smacked her lips, opened her round eyes, and looked into the kitchen, "What smells so good?"
Summer could not help laughing and carried her to the kitchen. As she walked, she said, "I am cooking something special. It'll smell even better later...."
In the kitchen, there was a small stool specially prepared for Rosie. Sometimes, if Rosie wanted to wash bowls or plates, she could stand on it.
As soon as Summer put her on the ground, Rosie ran over and carried the stool over. She put it in front of the gas stove and was about to stand on it.
The stool was a little close to the gas stove. Summer hugged her and moved the stool away a bit before letting Rosie stand on it again.
She uncovered the pan and let Rosie smell it.
"Does it smell good?"
"Yes!" Rosie stared at the pot with greedy eyes. She unconsciously raised her small hands, as if she was about to reach into the pot in the next second.
Summer quickly put the lid back on the pot and then carried Rosie down.
At this time, Summer asked Rosie, "Where's Leonoodle?"
"Leonoodle..." Rosie probably felt funny that Summer also called Leonardo "Leonoodle" as she did. So, she repeated once and laughed non-stop for a while.
Summer touched her head and walked out.
Just now, she had been playing with Rosie and had almost forgotten that Leonardo was also here.
When she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Leonardo sitting on the sofa, leaning over slightly. He stretched out his hand to take a cup from the coffee table in front of the sofa and carried a kettle to pour himself a cup of water.
Summer was used to putting kettles and cups on the coffee table.
Leonardo poured himself some water and took a sip before putting it back. He frowned slightly and looked cold.
It was normal for ordinary people to pour themselves water to drink.
However, when it happened to Leonardo, it made him look more easy-going.
"Leonoodle!"
Rosie followed behind Summer and ran straight to Leonardo.
She was curious and took a cup from the tray on the coffee table, and then she handed it to Leonardo, blinking, "I also want to drink water."
Leonardo glanced at her, pursed his lips expressionlessly, and went to get the kettle.
Rosie held the cup awkwardly. Leonardo extended his hand to help her hold it, "Take the cup steady."
"Alright." Rosie corrected her posture of holding the cup. But it was still a little crooked.
In the past weeks, Leonardo had gradually accepted Rosie and the child's immaturity in daily life. So, he did not correct her anymore.
