Now that "Connel" was Stanley, why did Jenny have such a response when Summer mentioned Stanley earlier?
Summer carefully recalled Connel's behaviors.
When she first came to Country M, she just felt that Stanley and Connel were alike.
But the sense wasn't so overwhelming until she got along with Connel.
Why? Did he have dual personality?
After Stanley showed his hand, some changes came to her life. A few days ago, the servants and bodyguards in the villa followed her at a distance. But today, they didn't even move a step from her. She would always find servants or bodyguards by her side.
Summer was annoyed. She swung the door of the bathroom open and asked in a tone laced with agitation, "I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
The servant slightly bowed in fear and trepidation.
Summer suffered from the fidgets.
Though the villa was filled with servants and bodyguards, only Stanley and Jenny would talk to her.
But she now felt antipathy against Stanley. And Jenny felt the same against Summer.
Jenny had disguised herself, but now she just showed her hatred straightforward.
Summer entered the bathroom. Seeing the servant still stooping outside, she just shut the door.
She crossed her arms and paced back and forth in the bathroom.
The bathroom was a completely sealed space with only one vent. Life was not a movie, nor was she a spy. She was naturally unable to pry the vent open and escape through it.
In the end, she had no choice but flush the toilet, pretending to have used it before leaving.
Sure enough, the servant was waiting at the door.
Summer took a glance at her and went to the kitchen to serve herself a glass of hot water.
It was getting colder and colder, so Rosie hated to get out of bed. She was reluctant to get up in the morning. And she would sneak back to her room as soon as she finished her breakfast.
But heaters in the whole villa were running. Maybe the heater in her room worked better.
Summer pushed open Rosie's door with the glass cup in her hand.
She acted quietly and Rosie was absorbed in playing with her toys, ignoring her presence.
Summer gently closed the door and walked over. She heard Rosie muttering, "This is Rosie. This is mom. And that is Leonoodle... no, not Leonoodle... he is fierce..."
Summer paused.
And Rosie was still talking to herself.
She even took a cue from Leonardo's tone, "No! You can't go!"
However, she didn't sound fierce at all. Mixed emotion filled Summer's eyes.
It was said that children were forgetful and naive. Perhaps that was just adults' misunderstanding.
Summer sat down at her bedside and called her, "Rosie?"
Summer happened to be muttering, "Go find Summer..." she suddenly raised her head and blinked with confusion, "What did you say?"
"Drink some water." Summer handed the glass to her.
Summer's brows were slightly knitted.
But Rosie was lost in sorrow and she had to placate her before talking sense into her.
Summer took two napkins and wiped her tears.
"Rosie, I has something to tell you. You should stop crying now."
Rosie was a good girl and calmed down soon.
Just as Summer was about to start talking, Rosie wiped her face and looked up at Summer, "Tears streak my face. Mom, help me wash my face."
Summer swallowed her words.
And her solemn face was melted away by Rosie's words.
"Didn't you cry so hard? Now you know it is uncomfortable afterward?" she carried her into the bathroom.
Rosie sniffed twice and rested an arm on Summer's shoulder. She refuted, "I cried because I was upset."
Summer felt it amusing since Rosie said it with a childish tone.
However, Rosie was a big girl now. She couldn't laugh out.
Summer put her on the washing basin and turned on the tap, "Did Leonoodle upset you?"
Rosie replied with a solemn face, "Yes."
Loving to play with water, Rosie did not forget to reach out to the running water after that.
