Summer Sweetheart novel (Leonardo and Summer) novel Chapter 87

Summer stopped. Silence ensued.

She looked at Tim who was driving and turned to “Douglas”. Seeing he was lost in thought, she reached out and patted him. She said, "You haven't said what he likes to eat!"

“Douglas” regained his senses and looked deeply at her. After a few seconds, he said, "He is not picky. He likes whatever you cook."

He was telling the truth. Summer was good at cooking. He ate dishes she cooked for a while, and every dish tasted good.

Summer was disappointed by his answer.

After that, “Douglas” remained silent and did not say anything.

Summer didn’t know what he was thinking about.

The first thing Summer did when she returned home was to look for Leonardo.

She ran to the study and knocked on the door, but no one was there.

When she went downstairs, she met “Douglas”. Summer asked him curiously, "You said Leonardo is at home, didn’t you? I just went to the study. But no one was there."

Leonardo looked away to avoid her gaze. Then he said, "Perhaps he is sleeping in his room. He is in poor health conditions and gets tired easily."

Once you told a lie, you needed to tell dozens to cover it up.

Previously, he had lied to Summer because he found her interesting. He didn’t do it on purpose.

He had heard of her defending for “Leonardo”, both in public and in private.

Leonardo was born in a large family with a hundred years of history. He had experienced many things. He could tell without any difficulty whether Summer was telling the truth or not.

He knew Summer meant it and she told the truth. Leonardo had mixed feelings now. He didn’t understand why himself.

"Alright." Summer nodded and went downstairs.

Seeing her enter the kitchen, Leonardo called Carl and requested irritably, "Come out and have a drink!"

"Sorry…." Carl apologized. He was about to refuse, but Leonardo hung up before he could say anything.

...

At the Golden Cauldron Club.

Carl walked over to Leonardo reluctantly with a glass in his hand. He complained, "What’s wrong? What bothers you so much that you ask me out for a drink at day?"

Leonardo didn't reply. He silently took a sip of wine.

Seeing his reaction, Carl realized that things might be more serious than he expected. So he stopped smiling and said seriously, "You have to tell me what the matter is."

Leonardo finally turned to look at him.

However, after staring at Carl for a few seconds, he looked away and said indifferently, "You won’t understand."

Carl was confused. What was the point of asking him out?

...

When the meal was ready, Summer was told that Leonardo and “Douglas” went out together.

She was left alone.

Just as she was about to eat, her phone rang.

She took it out. It was Karen.

She tapped on the screen with a finger and pressed on the green button after hesitating for a while.

Summer was on her speakerphone. She said softly, "Hello?"

She heard an ear-piercing noise, which was followed by a sharp cry. Karen shrieked, "Help me, please."

Summer checked the phone number and was sure it was Karen.
