Rosie was praised by both her parents, and happily picked up her brush and then continued drawing.
Summer returned to the kitchen.
Leonardo walked to the dining table and noticed some of the dishes on the table were his favorites.
He moved his eyebrows slightly as he walked into the kitchen quietly.
Summer stood with her back to him. She was waiting for the water in the pot to boil, so she could add the beaten eggs into it.
She was cooking tomato and egg soup tonight.
The water in the pot was boiling. Just as Summer was about to pour the eggs in, she felt someone approaching from behind her.
Before she could turn around, Leonardo's arm was already tied around her waist. Then, he put the other arm around her, pulling her entirely into his embrace.
Summer was caught off guard by Leonardo's hug. She was so shocked that her hands trembled and all the eggs in the bowl were poured into the pot.
The eggs were cooked quickly, and they turned into a lump as soon as they were poured into the water.
Summer didn't have time to speak. She quickly took a spoon and stirred the soup in the pot, in a wish to save her soup.
With the stirring, the soup in the pot turned into egg drop soup.
Summer turned off the fire and turned her head to look at Leonardo, "Let me go!"
Leonardo, who was hugging her from behind, did not listen. Instead, he said, "I just want a hug."
He buried his head in her neck, and his voice sounded a little low and distant.
Summer paused for a moment before considering what to say.
She ladled the soup from the pot and patted Leonardo's hand, "You said just one hug."
As expected, Leonardo let go of her.
He straightened up and slightly turned around to bring out the soup to the table. His movements were extremely smooth and pleasing to the eyes.
Leonardo was a man with a good temperament. He was extraordinarily handsome even if he was serving soup in a narrow kitchen.
When Summer followed him out, she heard him say, "Rosie, it's time to eat."
Rosie replied somewhat impatiently, "I want to draw."
Leonardo walked over to Rosie. Summer didn't know what he said, but after listening to his words, Rosie reluctantly put down the brush and stood up.
As Summer watched Rosie eat, something suddenly flashed through her mind.
Her head jerked up. She looked at Leonardo and then turned to look at Rosie. However, she realized that it was not the right time to say what she had just thought of.
Feeling her gaze, Leonardo raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that he had already read her thoughts, yet he did not say anything else.
After Rosie finished her meal, she continued to draw. Only then did Summer say to Leonardo, "I suddenly thought of something. How did Vicky know what happened on the island back then?"
Leonardo knew that she hadn't finished yet, so he didn't interrupt her and signaled her to continue.
"Every time Vicky saw me, she always said that she wanted to avenge Adams. Once, she questioned why it was Adams who died while we were still alive. She never mentioned anything about Rosie from the beginning to the end."
Summer looked up and noticed that Leonardo was still listening very attentively.
She continued, "After what had happened on the island, Kate blocked all the news. There was no media report in Hoover City. Adams’ death was also depicted as accidental while traveling. If Adams had told Vicky about his plan before he went to the island, Vicky would have known that the purpose of our trip was to bring Rosie back. Naturally, she would have known that Rosie existed...
