Predestined Marriage

The two adults exchanged looks and put down their phones, eating with Rosie.

It had been a long time since they ate together.

When they were sitting together for dinner now, they were no longer a family.

Rosie looked especially happy. Even Summer was in a good mood, and she treated Leonardo in a nice way.

Perhaps because the New Year approached, Rosie was very excited tonight.

It was already eleven o'clock, and she still stayed awake. She was clearly very sleepy, but she didn't want to sleep.

Summer failed to make her sleep. In the end, she had to press her on the sofa and stopped her from moving around. Rosie fell asleep soon.

As soon as Rosie fell asleep, Summer looked up at Leonardo, trying to drive him away, "You can go now."

Leonardo's face darkened a little. He raised his wrist, took a look and said softly, "It's not past midnight."

"Rosie is already asleep. You don't need to stay here anymore." Summer spoke coldly, carrying Rosie back to her room.

Leonardo, who was gloomy, looked at her back without saying a word.

After Summer put Rosie on the bed, she came out again and found nobody on the sofa.

Was Leonardo left?

After Summer looked around the room, she made sure that Leonardo had really left. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa.

After a while, she got up, poured herself a glass of wine and placed it on the table.

She felt somewhat disappointed.

She was no longer as uncomfortable as when she just broke up with Leonardo.
