The glimmer of light was in the lower left corner of the window. It was very weak, but Rosie could see it very clearly.
"Eh?"
Rosie stood on tiptoe in surprise and tilted her head to look.
Suddenly, a hand emerged from the lower left corner of the window.
At her age, Rosie was curious about everything. She didn't not feel scared, but instead she stared at the hand with great curiosity.
In the lower left corner, a hand was stretched out, followed by an arm, then a head, and then a broad shoulder...
When that person's face was revealed, Rosie's eyes immediately lit up. Seeing that Rosie was so happy that she was about to cry out, the person outside the window made a gesture keep her silent.
Rosie was very obedient and did not say anything. She clenched her hands into small fists and raised them in front of her helplessly. She whispered, "Dad."
The sound insulation of the window was very good. She shouted in a low voice, and Leonardo outside the window could not hear her.
But he saw it clearly.
He hadn't seen Rosie in almost a month.
Rosie seemed to have grown up a little. She was wearing a fluffy one-piece pajama. She looked soft. The temperature in the room should be just right. Her little face was slightly red.
He had thought Rosie would be afraid when she saw him. In the middle of the night, if a person suddenly appeared outside the window, anyone would be afraid.
However, she recognized him at a glance and listened to him, not saying a word.
The father and daughter were separated by a soundproof window. They could not hear each other's voices and could not even see each other's expressions clearly. However, Leonardo had never felt Rosie so close to him by blood and love as of now.
She had the same blood as him, and had his surname. She was the best thing that had come out of his love with Summer.
She needed him and trusted him.
She was different from Leonardo. He owed his mother. However, Rosie was a separate individual.
She was innocent and deserved to be loved.
Leonardo's usually solemn face unconsciously appeared a little moved and loving.
Suddenly, there was a sound in his ears.
Leonardo raised his head and saw Rosie who had already unlocked the window. She smiled at him expectantly and said to him, "Dad, come in quickly."
In fact, it only took half a minute for Leonardo to think of these things, and it didn't take much time.
However, Rosie had already opened the window for him.
Leonardo stretched out his hand and opened the window. He waved his hand, signaling for Rosie to step aside.
Rosie took two steps back and let Leonardo in.
However, Rosie was short. Although she took two steps to the side, it looked as if she hadn't moved.
Leonardo was helpless, but he didn't say anything. He leapt into the room.
When he landed, he was squatting on the ground. As soon as he landed, Rosie rushed over and hugged his neck. She said with a sad expression, "I thought you weren't coming today."
Leonardo was stunned and stretched out one hand to close the window. The other hand reached behind her to support her. "Who said I was coming today?"
His hand was so big that it almost covered her back.
Little girl.
After Leonardo closed the window, he pulled the curtains back to cover it, and then stood up with Rosie in his arms.
To Rosie, Leonardo's question was hard to answer.
Summer had told her that Leonardo would come to pick them up. When she started to think about Leonardo, she naturally thought about Leonardo coming every day.
Leonardo tightened his arm and firmly pressed her into his embrace. Then, he whispered in her ear, "I forgive you."
He forgave her for her decision to let Stanley hold her hostage without consulting him.
Summer clutched his clothes, and the restlessness of the whole day completely calmed down in a moment.
Very quickly, Leonardo felt Summer's hands touching his body, and she even wanted to take off his clothes to touch him.
Leonardo accurately held her hand and lowered his voice. "Summer, I can feel your eagerness after not meeting me for such a long time. After all, I am the same, but it is not suitable to do those things now. Moreover, Rosie is still here."
Her happiness instantly dissipated. Summer pushed him away and said angrily, "I want to see if you're injured. Who's thinking about those nasty things in your mind all day long! Shameless!"
Rosie's childish voice came from the side, "What is shameless?"
Summer almost forgot that Rosie was still at the side, so she didn't know how to explain to her.
She blinked and reached out to poke Leonardo on the shoulder. It was obvious that she wanted him to explain.
Leonardo received her distress signal and gave her a meaningful look. Then, he turned
around and asked Rosie, "Is Rosie sleepy?"
Rosie shook her head, "I'm not sleepy."
Leonardo raised his eyebrows and walked to the bed. He put Rosie on the bed and said, "If you're not sleepy, you can play by yourself."
Rosie stared at Leonardo in daze, her eyes filled with confusion.
There must be something wrong.
Why did she have to play by herself? Wasn't
Dad going to play with her?
