Summer stopped and turned to look in the direction of the dining table.
Leonardo sat there alone, eating with his back to her.
The table wasn't big, but one could feel how lonely he must be.
Summer stood there for a moment, then walked towards the table and sat down in front of Leonardo.
Leonardo did not expect Summer to return. He was taken by surprise. Two seconds later, he regained his usual coldness.
"I want to ask you something."
Summer did not want to beat around the bush. They didn't have much chance to meet after all.
Leonardo glanced at her and motioned for her to ask.
"Where is Vicky? Is she still alive?" Summer tried to read Leonardo's expression in search for an answer.
Leonardo did not tell her where Vicky was, nor did he say whether Vicky was still alive. Instead, he sharply asked, "Has the Jarrett family come to see you?"
Summer was a little shocked. She only asked about Vicky. But Leonardo immediately guessed what was going on.
Even though she always knew how smart Leonardo was, she was still a little surprised.
"Fine." Summer did not intend to pursue much further. After all, they had nothing to do with each other now.
Leonardo did not need to answer her question. It was not his duty.
"Perhaps she is dead, or perhaps her life is worse than death." Leonardo looked at Summer and gave her an ambiguous answer.
What did that mean? Summer pursed her lips and stared at Leonardo without saying a word.
Leonardo didn't speak anymore and only focused on the noodles.
He quickly finished them. To Summer's surprise, Leonardo took the bowl into the kitchen and began to wash it.
Summer did not believe that Leonardo could wash the dishes by himself.
When Leonardo brought the bowl under the tap, Summer finally believe that Leonardo was really going to do it.
Summer was extremely surprised.
Leonardo quickly finished washing. It was just a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.
He went out and saw Summer still sitting at the dining table, "After all, there is no servant here. I have to do my own work."
Summer narrowed her eyes and snorted softly.
The reason he said that was because Summer had said that she was not a servant.
Summer didn't want to reply, but Leonardo seemed to suddenly have an interest and asked, "Why do you want to ask about Vicky? Are you asking for the Jarrett family, or for yourself?"
"Can I be curious?" Summer raised her eyebrows and glared at Leonardo.
Leonardo stared at Summer for a moment and said, "If they really want to find Vicky, you can tell them that Vicky is with me. Tell them to ask for me."
Leonardo asked the Jarrett family to look for him? What did he plan?
Leonardo just said that Vicky might be dead or something.
In other words, Leonardo had indeed tortured Vicky when he was in Country M, but he still spared her life.
"If you want the Jarrett family to see you, you can tell them yourself." Summer could not understand what Leonardo was thinking, nor could she understand what he was going to do.
Summer didn't know why Leonardo would say this. She felt bored.
But Summer felt that she was even more bored to talk nonsense with Leonardo here.
She got up and pushed the chair away, then went back to her room.
