Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 489

As Rosie spoke, she reached out to touch the corners of Summer's mouth.

Summer was squatting in front of Rosie, so Rosie could touch Summer's lips, which were broken.

Embarrassment flashed across Summer's face. Just as she was about to speak, she heard footsteps behind her. It was Leonardo.

Rosie immediately shared what she had discovered with Leonardo. "Dad, Mom's lips got hurt!"

Summer was speechless. Leonardo glanced at Summer and then replied to Rosie, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Rosie ran over and pulled Leonardo up to Summer. "Look, here...."

Rosie's tone was somewhat exaggerated.

Summer glared at Leonardo and bent down to carry Rosie upstairs.

"Mom, your mouth...."

Rosie's little arm was wrapped around Summer's neck, and Rosie was still thinking about the broken corner of Summer's mouth.

"It's fine. It doesn't hurt." Summer paced faster upstairs.

With Rosie in her arms, Summer went to the room where she had stayed before.

As soon as Summer entered the room, she locked the door.

When Rosie saw Summer had locked the door, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Summer with a puzzled expression. "Why did you lock the door?"

"If not, bad people will come in."

"Who?"

"Someone wicked."

Rosie tilted her head, looking like she didn't fully understand. With a frown, she said in a sweet voice, "My father ... will ... beat the bad people."

Rosie didn't speak fluently but pause for two times, as if she was considering how to express it.

Rosie's brain raced, but she was inarticulate.

This was the first time Summer heard Rosie say so. Thus, Summer was curious. "Really? Will your father beat up bad people?"

"Yes." Rosie seemed to have thought of something. But under Summer’s gaze, she could not express her idea properly. So, she simply replied in a loud voice, "Yes!"

She clenched her small fist and stood in front of Summer. Looking up, Rosie put on a serious expression on her face.

Summer was amused and touched Rosie's head. "Yes, you're right."

Then, she took Rosie to the sofa, and Rosie began to play with her toys.

After quite a while, there was a knock on the door.

Immediately after, a servant's voice sounded from outside. "Mrs. Emerson, Miss Rosie, it's time for lunch."

Summer was surprised that it wasn't Leonardo.

She raised her voice and returned, "Alright, we'll be right there."

After that, she led Rosie to the door and opened it.

But after opening the door, she was surprised to find that Leonardo was standing at the door rather than the servant.

Compared with Summer, who had an obvious look of surprise, Leonardo was much calmer.

"It's time for lunch."

Leonardo kept a straight face and Summer could not tell any emotions from his voice.

After taking a deep breath, Summer walked in the front with Rosie.

Lunch was prepared by the servants and it was very rich and delicious.

Summer recalled the dishes she had cooked for Leonardo before and felt that they were quite rough.

At the dining table, Summer and Rosie sat side by side, and Leonardo sat opposite them.

Servants were standing beside the dining table. The whole dining room was so quiet that one could hear a needle falling onto the ground.
