Predestined Marriage

Arthur cast a glance at Summer when she came in before answering Leonardo, "Yes, but it's not safe."

Leonardo looked over his shoulder at Summer and said nothing.

In the next few days, it was still raining, and the road was still in bad condition. As a result, even if the county sent technicians for the electrical circuit and telecom signals, they couldn't reach here.

Leonardo and Summer could only stay at Arthur's.

Since it was raining, Arthur didn't have to work on the farm. He always held a pipe and sat on a rocking chair at the gate, watching the rain outside. Occasionally, he would have the cat in his arms.

The vegetables they ate every day were freshly picked from the land.

Since Summer and Leonardo were staying at Arthur's, they naturally shouldered the responsibility of picking vegetables and cooking.

But Summer still couldn't handle the fire. So in most cases, Arthur made the fire, Summer cooked, and Leonardo washed the dishes after the meal.

One morning, Summer woke up and listened for the sound of rain.

After a while, she turned to Leonardo. "It's not raining."

Leonardo was lying flat on his back beside her. With his eyes closed, he seemed to be asleep. But Summer knew he had been a light sleeper these past few days. Moreover, judging from his tightly knitted eyebrows, it was obvious he was awake.

As expected, a few seconds later, the man beside her opened his eyes and replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

Hearing his word, Summer sat up and moved to the other side of the bed. She got out of bed and put on her coat before walking towards the door.

She was used to it these days. Every day when she got up, she moved to where his feet were and got out of bed.

Summer went downstairs, opened the door, and walked out.

The house was built on a hill, with a small open space in front of the door for exercise and a forest ahead.

Now the forest was shrouded in mist.
