Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 541

Stanley paused for a moment before saying, "I went out this afternoon."

Summer nodded and thought of something, then she asked, "Was it urgent? You forgot to bring your phone."

It was not in Stanley's nature to forget to bring his phone unless something urgent had happened.

Stanley didn't pick it up the first time Summer called him. The second time she called, he hung it up very soon. Then the phone was turned off.

So, Stanley forgot to bring his phone. That might explain why the phone was turned off. The battery might have run out.

Stanley smiled. "It's not very urgent. I've solved it."

Although Stanley was smiling, Summer could tell he was a bit cold and indifferent from his expression and tone. It made her somewhat uncomfortable.

So, Summer touched Leonardo, signaling him that they could leave now.

Leonardo leaned against the sofa comfortably, as if he was at home.

Summer was lost for words. What was going on with Leonardo? Did he enjoy staying at Stanley's place?

Summer pushed Leonardo.

Leonardo glanced at Summer, and then he looked up at Stanley, "Do you have any coffee?"

Now he sounded like ordering coffee in a coffee shop.

Stanley narrowed his eyes and looked a little impatient. But then he got up and went to make coffee for Leonardo.

When Stanley left to make coffee, Summer whispered to Leonardo, "What do you want to do? We should go back."

"As long as we're here, we might as well stay longer. What’s the hurry?"

It sounded like Leonardo's grief talking. However, his tone was no different from usual, and Summer could not tell if he was angry.

Summer could not figure out what Leonardo was thinking, so she gave up on trying. She stood up and walked to Stanley.

"Stanley, don't bother about it. We have to go back now." Summer didn't know why Leonardo wanted to stay here, so she could only say it herself.

Stanley turned to look at Summer. Then he lowered his head again and continued to make coffee, "It doesn't matter. The coffee will be ready soon."

Stanley was brewing coffee himself, so it took a while.

"So, we should have a cup of coffee before leaving." Summer and Stanley both didn't know when Leonardo walked over.

Who would have coffee at night if he was not to work overtime?

Summer thought that Leonardo was making troubles for Stanley, but she had no way to stop him.

Stanley heard Leonardo's words, and he just smiled.

After Stanley brewed the coffee, Leonardo drank half a cup before leaving with Summer.

When Stanley closed the door, Summer glared at Leonardo, "You won't sleep well tonight."

Then she just walked to the elevator herself.

When Summer got to the elevator, she found it stopped on the upper floor. She pressed the button and it got down soon.

Then she entered the elevator together with Leonardo.

After the elevator door closed, the door of Stanley's house opened again.

Stanley stood by the door and looked at the elevator. Nobody was there, but his eyes showed complicated emotions and a trace of sharpness, as if he could see the people inside through the door.

Summer and Leonardo were standing in the elevator.

When the elevator moved, Summer found Leonardo lost in thought. But she did not know what he was thinking.
