Summer was about to say something, but Stanley interrupted her.
"I know what you want to ask, but today's topic is that you are treating me to lunch." Stanley stared at Summer. "If you really want to ask those questions, you can ask first."
Summer felt she needed to take back her previous thoughts.
She didn't like to talk to smart people.
Smart people can tell at a glance what you are thinking, what you want to ask, and what you want to do.
Since she had shown her cards to Stanley and admitted that she had recovered her memories, she naturally wanted to ask about what happened three years ago and how Stanley knew her.
However, since Stanley said so, she wouldn't ask about that again.
The meal turned into a simple lunch between friends.
Without mentioning Summer's doubts, they ate happily.
But things didn't always go as smoothly as they thought.
Just as they were about to finish their meal, a group of people walked in from outside.
Summer only took a glance at them and did not look carefully.
Rosie, who was sitting beside Summer, saw Leonardo standing behind the crowd with keen eyes.
Rosie shouted excitedly, "Leonardo."
However, she was sitting in a booster seat and she couldn't get out of it. So she could only shake her body and be anxious.
As soon as Leonardo stepped into the restaurant, he frowned and stopped. "Someone is calling me."
Tim, who was following behind Leonardo, had no choice but to stop with him.
Leonardo listened carefully for a while and heard no one calling Leonardo.
The people walking in front were extremely cautious. When they noticed that Leonardo stopped, they didn't dare to go any further. They could only stop and wait for Leonardo.
Just as Tim was about to remind Leonardo, he saw Leonardo looking towards a certain place.
Tim followed Leonardo's the line of sight and saw Rosie sitting in a booster seat with excitement, and Summer beside Rosie.
It would be fine if it was just like that.
However, there was a man sitting opposite Summer.
Tim turned around and carefully looked at Leonardo's face. He did not notice anything unusual. He looked away, respectfully stood behind Leonardo, and said, "Mrs. Emerson and Miss Rosie are there. Are you going to say hello to them, Mr. Emerson?"
Tim was accustomed to calling Summer "Mrs. Emerson", and Leonardo did not correct him, so he didn't change.
"Don't you see that she is eating happily with another man?" Leonardo sneered, "Don't disturb her."
He stressed "another man" obviously.
Was he jealous?
Tim wasn't sure.
In days gone by, Tim could be sure that
Leonardo was angry.
But now Leonardo had changed, Tim was not sure.
After finishing speaking, Leonardo strode towards the private room without looking back.
When Summer saw Leonardo, she thought that she might be in trouble.
Although she didn't have an affair with Stanley, Leonardo did not think so.
Leonardo had shown his attitude clearly before.
Although Summer didn't know what Leonardo was thinking, she knew he was angry.
"What's the matter?"
Stanley looked back in time to see Leonardo striding towards the private room.
Just now, Rosie mumblingly called "Leonardo", and he did not hear that clearly. So he did not know that she was calling Leonardo.
Someone in the room guessed that she might be Leonardo's confidante, and he said, "Mr. Emerson left a long time ago."
Summer pursed her lips and said through clenched teeth, "Thank you."
Then she went out of the room and closed the door.
She looked down and met Rosie's puzzled eyes.
"Daddy." Rosie thought they were waiting for Daddy to come out. Where was Daddy?
Summer didn't know how to explain to Rosie that Leonardo didn't want to see them.
No, Leonardo probably didn't want to see her.
Summer picked Rosie up and said, "Let's go home first."
It was already afternoon. On the way home, Rosie started to get sleepy.
When they got home, Rosie fell asleep.
Summer carried Rosie to the bed. In order not to wake Rosie up, Summer try her best to be gentle.
However, Rosie had weighed more than ten kilograms. Summer carried Rosie all the way, and now her arms were a little limp. She put Rosie on the bed with great efforts.
Summer stared at Rosie's face that looked like Leonardo. She sighed and reached out to point at Rosie's little nose, and whispered, "Little fatty."
Coming out of Rosie's room, Summer called Tim.
Tim said respectfully, "Mrs. Emerson."
Summer got straight to the point, "Is Leonardo angry because he saw me having lunch with Stanley just now?"
Tim glanced at Leonardo, who was sitting behind the desk, flipping through the documents expressionlessly. Tim turned to the side and whispered, "I think he is..."
Summer paused for a moment and said, "If he goes home after work tonight, I'll trouble you to come and pick up Rosie."
If Leonardo was angry, he would definitely not come to her tonight.
However, Rosie missed him. It seemed that Leonardo did not reject Rosie. Summer thought it would be fine to let Rosie stay overnight in Leonardo's house.
