What was going on? Didn't Tim say that Leonardo was having a meeting? Why was Leonardo still at home?
When Leonardo came downstairs and saw Summer, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Summer remembered the scene of Leonardo and Amber hugging together on the roadside the day she was stopped by Logan's men.
Over the past few days, that scene had constantly reminded her that Leonardo was no longer her Leonardo in the past.
Summer clenched her hands tightly and felt a chill went through her body.
She pursed her lips and said in a cold voice, "I came here because Tim said that you were in a meeting."
"Really?" Leonardo had come down the stairs and walked towards her.
He stopped three steps away from Summer. "Did Tim say that I was in a meeting at the company? Did Tim not explain it clearly enough, or did you not ask it clearly enough?"
Summer felt that she was probably crazy.
At this moment, she was not thinking how to refute Leonardo's provocative words. Instead, she was thinking that Leonardo was thinner than before, and seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
They had lived together for too long, and they were too familiar with each other. Therefore, she could easily discover that Leonardo was thinner now.
Leonardo was a man with strict self-control. His weight had always been the same and never increased, except that he would lose some weight if he was overworked.
Being thinner, Leonardo looked more aggressive with his sharp features and chiseled face. Leonardo was a little unfamiliar to Summer now. For a moment, she felt as if she was in another life.
"Answer me." The man's deep voice was close to her.
Summer suddenly looked up and realized that Leonardo had already walked over to her when she was distracted.
He looked down at her with an imperceptible gaze, which swept across her eyebrows and paused on her neck for a moment.
Summer sensed his gaze and immediately reached out to cover the newly healed wound on her neck. Actually, the injury on her neck was already close to the back of her neck. It was her subconscious move.
That day, she stood in front of him and Amber with injuries in a terrible state. His cold words hit her heart fiercely.
The chill rose from her feet again. Summer shivered involuntarily.
Something occurred to Leonardo, who was standing in front of her. He suddenly took a step forward.
Summer reacted quickly and took a step back, her eyes full of vigilance. She didn't know what Leonardo wanted to do.
She had seen this man being gentle and affectionate, and being cold and heartless as well.
Right now, she could only use her little self-esteem to maintain her dignity. Since he was the one who decided to break up with her, then they should just be decent.
"I'll go up and see Rosie." After Summer finished speaking, she hurriedly walked past him and ran upstairs without looking at Leonardo any longer.
Leonardo stood with his back to the stairs. Even if Summer looked back, she could not see his face.
She could not see that his face was as cold as ice, so cold that there was no color in it.
Bruce had lived with Leonardo for some time before, and the bodyguards in the villa knew him. However, they were somewhat afraid of Bruce. They didn't know much about Bruce, but they knew that Bruce was no ordinary.
"You can do it together." Bruce didn't care whether they agreed or not. He just took off his coat and nodded at them. "Come on."
Inside the room, Leonardo heard the screams of the bodyguards and did not do anything. He walked to the sofa and sat down. He lit a cigarette, sucked it, and put it between his fingers. He did not move again.
Summer went to Rosie's room, and found Rosie was sleeping.
Although Leonardo looked thinner, he took good care of Rosie. She looked like she was a little heavier than the last time she saw her.
Her complexion was very good. Her small face was red and fleshy. She was sleeping soundly, covered with a velvet quilt.
She had been depressed over the past few days, and now she became much more relaxed at the look of Rosie. She didn't want to wake her up and just looked at him quietly like this, feeling very satisfied.
She looked at Rosie like for a while, then got up and went out, gently closing the door.
After so much time, she thought Leonardo was no longer in the hall. But when she went downstairs, she found Leonardo smoking in the hall. There were already several cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him.
When they were together, Summer did not really care about Leonardo smoking, and Leonardo did not smoke much at that time.
He was very considerate sometimes.
And now, Summer had lost the right to care about him.
