Predestined Marriage

Summer stopped. Silence ensued.

She looked at Tim who was driving and turned to “Douglas”. Seeing he was lost in thought, she reached out and patted him. She said, "You haven't said what he likes to eat!"

“Douglas” regained his senses and looked deeply at her. After a few seconds, he said, "He is not picky. He likes whatever you cook."

He was telling the truth. Summer was good at cooking. He ate dishes she cooked for a while, and every dish tasted good.

Summer was disappointed by his answer.

After that, “Douglas” remained silent and did not say anything.

Summer didn’t know what he was thinking about.

The first thing Summer did when she returned home was to look for Leonardo.

She ran to the study and knocked on the door, but no one was there.

When she went downstairs, she met “Douglas”. Summer asked him curiously, "You said Leonardo is at home, didn’t you? I just went to the study. But no one was there."

Leonardo looked away to avoid her gaze. Then he said, "Perhaps he is sleeping in his room. He is in poor health conditions and gets tired easily."

Once you told a lie, you needed to tell dozens to cover it up.

Previously, he had lied to Summer because he found her interesting. He didn’t do it on purpose.

He had heard of her defending for “Leonardo”, both in public and in private.

Leonardo was born in a large family with a hundred years of history. He had experienced many things. He could tell without any difficulty whether Summer was telling the truth or not.

He knew Summer meant it and she told the truth. Leonardo had mixed feelings now. He didn’t understand why himself.

"Alright." Summer nodded and went downstairs.

Seeing her enter the kitchen, Leonardo called Carl and requested irritably, "Come out and have a drink!"

"Sorry…." Carl apologized. He was about to refuse, but Leonardo hung up before he could say anything.
