Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 448

Vicky wanted to kill Summer.

Vicky couldn't do anything to Summer now. But if Vicky found out about Rosie's existence, Summer couldn't imagine what Vicky would do to Rosie.

Therefore, that Rosie stayed with Leonardo was the best choice.

Summer took a deep breath. Leaning against the wall, she took out her phone to call Leonardo.

After a long time, it was connected.

Leonardo answered the phone and did not speak immediately.

Summer called out his name. "Leonardo?"

Leonardo returned coldly, "Speak."

His voice sounded extremely cold, and Summer could sense some dissatisfaction in his voice.

Summer thought for a moment and guessed that Leonardo might be unhappy because she sent Rosie to his house.

Summer said sincerely, "Sorry, I sent Rosie to your house without telling you in advance."

"Don't even think about taking her back." Leonardo's deep voice sounded even more charming on the phone, revealing no emotions.

Recently, Summer had gotten used to this kind of Leonardo.

She replied, "Alright."

Leonardo did not immediately respond to her.

After a few seconds of silence, Leonardo hung up.

Summer looked at her phone with a bitter smile.

Sometimes, Leonardo was cold, and she didn't know what to do.

Summer put away her phone and walked out in a bad mood.

This kind of activity was a bit boring, so she planned to say goodbye to Eliza and went home.

A tall figure walked over from the front.

"Summer."

Hearing this, Summer looked over and got shocked. After a few seconds, she finally called out his name accurately.

"Jerome."

The one was none other than Jerome.

Summer's memories of Jerome were just a blur.

All she could remember was the teenage Jerome.

Therefore, Summer was a little unfamiliar with Jerome.

Jerome wore a dark blue suit, which was well cut, appearing elegant.

"There you are," he said excitedly.

Jerome walked up to Summer and extended his hand towards her. However, in the next moment, he seemed to recall something and quickly put his hand back down to his sides, looking somewhat uneasy.

"A few days ago, the media reported that you appeared. I didn't believe it. To my surprise, it is really you." After it, Jerome signed, "I'm so surprised to see you."

He repeated several times that he was surprised to see Summer.

Three years had passed. After being rescued from the jaws of death, Summer changed her view of some things.

If Vicky hadn't insisted on blaming Summer for Adams' death, Summer might have been willing to let go of Vicky, not to mention Jerome.

Jerome no longer owed her anything.

"It's me." Summer said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Jerome replied the same, "Long time no see."

Summer noticed that Jerome tightly clenched his hands, which were hanging on his sides, and then loosened them.

That was what happens when a person got nervous.

Summer looked at him with mixed feelings. After a brief pause, she said, "My friend is waiting for me. I need to go."

"Alright." Jerome nodded mechanically and stood there watching her leave.

Summer walked in front and felt that Jerome kept fixing his eyes on her, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

When she entered the venue again, she could not find Eliza, so she called her.

Fortunately, Eliza quickly answered the phone.

"I'm a little tired. I want to go back first."

"Alright. Be careful of the reporters."

If Eliza had not reminded Summer, Summer would have almost forgotten about this.

"I see. You should go back as soon as possible." Summer hung up and walked out.

When she came outside, she remembered that she didn’t Jessica tonight.

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Jessica's voice rang out. "Summer!"

Summer looked up, catching Carl and Jessica walking towards her.

"I'm surprised that you participate in this activity. If I knew you would make it, I would have come with you." As soon as Jessica approached, she complained to Summer. "Stupid Carl should be blamed. He took the wrong road. We just came...."

Carl followed behind and said, "Is this my fault? You said that the road was blocked and you asked me to change the route."

Jessica turned to look at him with a faked smile.

Carl immediately shut up.

Jessica asked Summer, "You're here for the ceremony. Where's Rosie?"

"I sent her to Leonardo's house." After Summer finished speaking, she glanced at her watch. "Hurry up and go inside, otherwise the event will be over soon."

"Alright." Jessica nodded and suddenly asked her, "Are you going back now?"

"Yes, I'll go back first."

Summer waved her hand and walked out.

Summer thought of Eliza's instructions, so she was quite cautious.

But she still failed to avoid the sharp-eyed reporters.

Just as Summer was about to leave, a group of reporters surrounded her like a swarm of bees.

"Hello, are you the screenwriter of ‘Lost City’?"

"Where have you been for the past three years? What have you been doing?"

"Will the second series of ‘Lost City’ be filmed? Who will you work with?"

"Did you really write the scripts of ‘Lost City’?"

"Did you go abroad to give birth to a child three years ago as the rumor goes?"

Among these reporters, some were concerned about her work, while others focused on her private life.

Summer hadn't been besieged by reporters for a long time, so she wasn't used to it.

The flash made her eyes uncomfortable.

A suit was draped over her shoulders at this time.

"Disperse. Please cooperate...." The security guards stepped forward and separated the reporters.

Summer turned around and found it was Jerome.

Jerome held her shoulder and said, "Let's go."

They dodged the reporters and stood by the side of the road.

Summer took off the suit and returned it to Jerome. "Thank you."

Jerome did not reach out his hand to receive it. He only asked her, "Aren't you cold?"

"No." Summer shook her head.

Actually, it was a little cold, but Summer felt that it wasn't proper for her to wear his clothes.

"I like you, so you reject me and we can't even be friends, right?" Jerome looked less excited.

Summer was decisive. She was supposed to give him an affirmative reply.

But Jerome didn't give her any chance.

He continued, "I know you have a deep affection for Leonardo. I don't love you right now. I just want to be friends with you. I hope you can give me a chance."
