His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian) novel Chapter 316

After the kidnapping that year, Leonardo had been against Michael for a long time.

At that time, he hadn't figured out anything unusual about the kidnapping. He just felt that Michael was also responsible for it.

Since then, there had been a gap between them.

Since Leonardo was sent abroad by Michael and lived with Violet's family, he had made a clean break with Michael.

After Leonardo returned, he built his own villa and founded Tip Top Media Company. At the meanwhile, the conflict between him and Michael had also deepened day by day.

"Yes." When Leonardo sized Michael up, Michael was also looking at him.

They didn't seem to be father and son, but strangers.

Leonardo's gaze finally landed on Michael's eyes. He asked in an indifferent voice, "Why are you there?"

"I just want to see where you live." Michael's tone was as cold as Leonardo's.

In the early years, Michael had also tried to ease the relationship with Leonardo. However, they had barely spoken with each other in the recent years.

"Really? How can you suddenly care about me so much?" Leonardo looked at him with a faint smile.

What Michael disliked the most was such an expression on Leonardo's face, which made it impossible for him to read Leonardo's mind.

Michael frowned slightly. "Since you're back, go and see your grandfather."

"Alright, we'll have lunch together." Leonardo stood up and went to the Emerson's where Charlie was living.

After Charlie was discharged from the hospital, Leonardo seldom came to visit him.

The main reason was that Leonardo had been very busy. For another, he was reluctant to return to the Emerson's.

Leonardo stood at the door of Charlie's room and paused for a moment before pushing open the door and entering.

When the servant, who took care of Charlie, saw Leonardo, he whispered to Charlie, "Mr. Charlie, Leonardo is here to see you."

Charlie sat in a wheelchair with a thin blanket covering his laps. He stared blankly out of the window. No one knew what he was looking at.

He didn't react to what the servant said.

The servant glanced at Leonardo, nodded slightly, and respectfully greeted, "Mr. Emerson." "Leave us alone."

After the servant left, Leonardo walked to Charlie and squatted down in front of him. "Grandpa, I'm Leonardo. How are you?"

His voice caught Charlie's attention.

Charlie turned his head to look at Leonardo. There was no light in his eyes. He just stared at Leonardo and unconsciously murmured something.

Leonardo pursed his lips and frowned, looking puzzled. He said in a serious tone, "Grandpa, what exactly are you trying to tell me?"

What Charlie had told him during the Spring Festival indicated that there was more to be known about the kidnapping case back then.

However, what Charlie wanted to say must be much severer than the little secrets behind a kidnapping case. Why were Michael and those men so fearful?

What kind of role did Violet play in the kidnapping case many years ago and in the accident that had happened to Charlie now?

In the end, Leonardo failed to get any reaction from Charlie.

Leonardo sat with Charlie for a while before leaving.

The servant stood guard at the door. At the sight of Leonardo, he called respectfully, "Mr. Emerson."

"Grandpa is always in such a state?"

Leonardo stopped and asked coldly.

Michael frowned at first, then reached out to support his forehead, seemingly feeling a little dizzy.

Leonardo slightly curled his lips and mocked, "You are indeed old. How can you be dizzy after drinking a little wine?"

"Wine..." Michael couldn't even finish a sentence before he fainted on the dining table. His head knocked heavily on the table.

Leonardo sat quietly for three seconds before picking up the wet towel beside him and wiping the powder from his left fingernail. He walked slowly to Michael and pulled out a strand of hair from his head. Although it wasn't a decent move, it worked.

Summer invited Jessica to a restaurant for dinner.

In terms of what had happened last night, Summer knew Jessica had contacted her out of concern. However, she left without saying a word, so she did owe her a treat.

Jessica happened to have a few days off. When Summer offered that she would treat Jessica to lunch, Jessica naturally agreed happily.

Summer booked a private restaurant in advance and waited for Jessica.

Before Jessica arrived, Summer ordered a glass of watermelon juice for Jessica.

Just as the watermelon juice was served, Jessica showed up.

She sat down opposite to Summer and reached out to fiddle with her own hair. "It's too hot."

Summer pushed the juice to Jessica and said, "Have a drink. It's just served."

"I love you." Jessica blew her an exaggerated kiss and drank the juice up in one gulp.

Only now did Summer realize that Jessica didn't wear any makeup.

"You went out without makeup today. Aren't you afraid of being photographed?" Jessica cared of her own image in front of the public. In general, she wouldn't come out without any makeup.

After Jessica finished drinking the juice, she slumped on the sofa with satisfaction. "I'm currently committed to my own craft. Without makeup, I am still stunning, so I'm not afraid at all."
