As soon as the waiter walked away, Karen sat opposite Summer before she said something.
Karen stared at Rosie. Her eyes lit up, and she looked surprised. "What's your name?"
Rosie was so curious that her gaze wandered around Karen. She said, "Rosie."
"Rosie?" Karen muttered, not knowing how to spell this name correctly.
However, Karen did not want to care about it.
She smiled and tried to make herself more approachable. "You look like your dad. You're so cute."
Summer looked coldly at Karen and felt extremely disgusting.
Karen stayed here and wouldn't leave. If she wanted to drive Karen away, she would have to quarrel with Karen.
She didn't want Rosie to witness that. Besides, there was no need for her to be so emotional for Karen.
"Thank you." Rosie thanked her. She was quiet in front of strangers.
Summer did not say anything. Rosie turned to look at her, as if she was puzzled that why Summer did not speak to Karen.
Summer smiled at Rosie and comforted her, "Let's eat something."
Then she looked up at Karen and said, "What's your phone number? I don't have it yet."
Karen was stunned. She asked in disbelief, "You want my phone number?"
"Yes." Even though Summer did not have any expression when she spoke and did not look happy at all, Karen was quite happy.
Summer actually wanted her phone number.
Was it because Rosie had just called her "grandmother" that Summer finally wanted to make up with her?
Karen's hands trembled as she held the phone because she was excited. "Alright, give me your number. I'll call you."
Summer glanced at her phone and asked, "Don't you know my number?"
She was also curious about how Karen got her number.
Hearing this, Karen gently patted her head and said, "That's right! I have your number. I'm really old."
Summer sneered and didn't say anything.
Karen quickly found Summer's number and called her. She also asked Summer to keep her number.
Being watched by Karen, Summer took her phone, found Karen's phone number, and sent a message.
Karen was stunned when she saw the reminder of the new text message on her phone. Summer sat right opposite her. Why did she still send a text message?
She looked at Summer in surprise, "Why are you sending me a text message?"
Summer nodded and signaled to Karen, "Take a look at it."
Karen took a deep look at Summer before reading the text message that Summer had sent her.
"If you want to know anything about Vicky, don't say a word from now on until you leave. And you can't tell anyone about Rosie. Otherwise, you'll only see a dead Vicky."
Only then did Summer turn to look at Karen. Coldness flashed through her eyes, making Karen shiver.
Summer intentionally sent Karen a text message about Vicky to threaten Karen, but she didn't expect that Karen would actually be distracted and no longer pay any attention to Rosie.
Although Summer already knew what kind of person Karen was, she still had expectation for Karen when she saw Karen whispering to Rosie.
She hoped that Karen would change. Even if Karen did not like her, she would at least be concerned about Rosie. However, it turned out that Summer was wrong. Karen did not like Summer in the past, and she still did not like Rosie now.
Karen had been the same for the past twenty years, and she would probably never change in this lifetime.
Summer was moved only because Rosie called Karen "grandma". That was why she intentionally sent Karen such a text message to sound out her intention.
As expected, Karen did not disappoint Summer. She was still the Mrs. Jarrett who loved Vicky and only cared about everything of her stepdaughter. But she would never be Summer's real mother.
After that, Summer ignored Karen. Although Karen was eager to know Vicky's whereabouts, Summer's words was still a deterrent to a certain extent.
She was truly afraid that something would happen to Vicky, so she did not dare to act rashly. She forced herself to wait until Summer and Rosie finished their meal and didn't say a word.
When Summer went to pay the bill with Rosie, they came across Carl.
Carl said to Rosie, "Can I take you with me? I have a lot of good things!"
Summer glanced at Karen not far away and knew that Karen still had something to ask her, so she asked Carl to take care of Rosie.
As soon as Carl took Rosie away and Summer put away the changes, Karen came up to her.
"Summer, please tell me how Vicky is now. Where is she?" Karen pleaded her, "Vicky has done a lot of bad things, but I brought her up. She just chose a wrong path."
