Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 481

Summer thought for a moment and agreed with Tim.

It was indeed hard to figure out what Leonardo was thinking. Hence, Summer was very surprised that Leonardo was willing to live in the countryside for these past few days.

There was something she didn't know about him.

Leonardo said something to Arthur, then Arthur patted Leonardo and said something. However, Summer only saw his mouth moving without knowing what they were talking about.

Suddenly, Leonardo waved at her.

Summer hurried over.

As she approached, Arthur smiled and looked at her, "Since you like my pickles, I'll pack a box of pickles for you. It should still be edible when you get home."

It was late autumn now, while food was less perishable in this weather.

Summer was touched, "That's so nice of you. Don't bother. I'll go get it myself."

She had been cooking dinner all these days, except for the first day when she had a fever. Therefore, she knew where Arthur kept those pickles.

"Alright, then you go get the pickles, and I'll go dig some sweet potatoes for you. It's pesticide-free, not like those sold in the city...."

Arthur wanted to get the hoe as he finished speaking.

Summer stopped him, "No need...."

The weather just cleared up, so the ground was still wet and slippery, especially in the cropland.

"It's just a few sweet potatoes, nothing precious here...." Arthur ignored Summer's persuasion and went to the field with a hoe.

Seeing this, Summer gave up and went into the house to get some pickles.

There was a large pottery jar with a lot of pickles inside, which smelled delicious.

Summer packed a box of pickles and came out, and Arthur had already returned.

He had been farming in the countryside all his life. Although he was getting old, he was still healthy and nimble.

Arthur washed the fresh sweet potatoes and packed them up. Afterwards, he went into the house and came out with two large bags of things.

This reminded Summer of a topic she had seen online before. It was talking about that parents would pack a great number of things for their children when they left home after the Spring Festival.

Usually, parents were always worried about their children, so they wanted to prepare everything for them when they left for work in other cities.

However, Summer had never received such treatment from Karen. Instead, she got this from an old man who had known her just for a few days.

Arthur neatly put those things into a nylon bag. As he tied up the bag, he said, "I'm just afraid that it'll be inconvenient for you to carry so many things on your way home. Otherwise, I'll give you more. I grew those food myself, and they are very fresh...."

Summer walked over and helped him hold the bag without saying anything.

Actually, she was so touched that she couldn't speak.

It took them some time to pack up things.

When they were about to leave, it was almost lunchtime.

Arthur frowned as he stood at the door and said, "It's already noon. How about you leave after lunch?"

Although he didn't show his feelings or speak it out, Summer could feel that Arthur didn't want them to leave.

However, it must come to an end, like the rainy days.

It was impossible for her and Leonardo to stay here forever. They had to live their own lives.

Summer raised her head and tugged at Leonardo's sleeve, pleading, "Leonardo."

Anyway, it was already noon. Summer wanted to stay and have lunch with Arthur, but Leonardo might not agree.

As expected, Leonardo refused.

"We still have a lot of things to do, so we won't stay for lunch." Leonardo looked at Arthur calmly and slightly frowned. After pondering for a moment, he solemnly said, "Take care."
