His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian) novel Chapter 485

Leonardo sat down and was shocked at Summer staring at him. However, he didn't say anything and lowered his head to eat.

Summer fixed her eyes on him silently for a long time before eating.

She had been observing Leonardo during dinner.

Leonardo didn't seem to notice it. He remained calm and ate without looking up at her.

He didn't say a word until he finished dinner.

He stood up and said calmly, "I'm heading home now, and I'll come to pick Rosie up tomorrow."

Summer was shocked for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright."

Leonardo then turned to look at Rosie, "Rosie,

I'm leaving."

Rosie was eating the last drumstick. Upon hearing him, she said without looking up, "Goodbye!"

Leonardo raised his eyebrows slightly and left.

After he left, Summer sat at the dining table and pondered. She didn't move until Rosie came over and tugged at her sleeve, "Mom, can I watch cartoon now?"

Rosie was able to articulate her words.

All of a sudden, Summer thought of the scene when she first met Rosie. Back then, although Rosie could speak clearly, she didn't talk much.

As long as there were adults around and chatting with them, children could learn to talk quickly.

"Sure." Summer stood up and led her to the sofa and sat down.

She turned on the TV for Rosie and said, "I'll go to clean the dishes. You can watch TV until I'm done. Then, you have to take a bath and go to sleep."

"Yes." Rosie had been preoccupied with the cartoon, fixing her eyes on the TV screen.

Summer stroked her head and went to the kitchen.

By the time she finished tidying up the kitchen and came out, Rosie had fallen asleep on the sofa.

It was natural as she normally went to bed at this time.

Summer carried Rosie into the bedroom, helped her take off her clothes and cleaned her face. Then, she put Rosie on the bed.

The next day.

After getting up, Summer cooked porridge and steamed sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes were brought back from the Uncle Arthur's. They were small and waxy, and it would be a good choice to eat in the morning.

After putting sweet potatoes in the pot, Summer went downstairs to buy steamed buns.

As there weren't enough food at home, they could only eat porridge and buns in the morning.

When Summer went downstairs, she saw a familiar car.

Summer walked closer and confirmed that it was Leonardo's car according to the license plate number.

Then, Leonardo opened the car door and got off.

He came out of the driver's seat, so he had driven here by himself.

Although he had said that he would pick Rosie up today when leaving yesterday, Summer thought he would come at night. Surprisingly, he came over so early.

Obviously, Leonardo had seen her as well. He locked the car and strode towards her.

"Where are you going?"

"Buy steamed buns." Summer pointed at the gate.

Then she asked, "Why are you here so early?"

With the car key in his hand, Leonardo looked down and said, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet."

"What?" Summer wondered why he was so anxious that he came over before eating breakfast.

Leonardo ignored Summer's shocked expression and walked out of the community. He said, "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Summer followed him and asked in confusion.

Summer did not believe him at all.

As Rosie was at home alone, Summer felt worried. Therefore, she walked faster on her way back.

With a bag full of buns in his hand, Leonardo followed her.

In the elevator, Summer looked at their figures reflected on the wall and couldn't help but think that they looked like a couple, who went out for a walk on a weekend morning together and bought buns for breakfast.

Unfortunately, this was not the case for her and Leonardo.

When Summer opened the door and entered, she saw Rosie had gotten up. Standing at the kitchen door with a doll in her arms, Rosie was looking for her mother.

Rosie had lived with Summer for a period of time. Back then, Summer usually cooked breakfast in the kitchen when Rosie got up in the morning, so Rosie was used to look for her in the kitchen.

"Rosie, you are awake," Summer changed her shoes, "I just went out to buy steamed buns. Let's go wash up now. We can have breakfast soon."

"Alright." Rosie rubbed her eyes and reached out her hands, wanting Summer to hug her.

When Summer helped Rosie wash up and went out of the bathroom, she found Leonardo had already placed the buns on different plates.

Without saying anything, Summer put Rosie into her chair.

Rosie reached out her hand in excitement, "What a big bun!"

Since Rosie's hands were clean, Summer didn't stop her from getting buns on her own.

Summer rolled up Rosie's sleeves and turned to the kitchen to serve porridge and sweet potatoes.

As sweet potatoes were small, sweet and glutinous, Rosie liked them very much.

But Summer was afraid that Rosie would suffer from indigestion, so she only gave Rosie two small ones.

"Aren't you going to try one? They were brought from Uncle Arthur's field." Summer looked at Leonardo and handed him a sweet potato.

Leonardo did not refuse and took it.

Summer narrowed her eyes and stared at him, wondering whether her guess was right or not.
