Summer went downstairs. When she passed by the dining room, she saw Douglas sitting at the table eagerly without moving his chopsticks.

When he saw Summer coming over, he asked her, "How is cousin?"

"Not bad. I'll bring him some food. You eat first." After Summer finished speaking, she went straight into the kitchen.

Summer prepared the food and just as she came out of the kitchen with the tray, she saw Leonardo already sitting at the dining table.

Hearing the movement, Leonardo raised his head to look at Summer.

Summer looked at the tray in her hand and said, "You've come down!"

"Yes." Leonardo replied indifferently and lowered his head to eat.

Summer put the tray back and sat down beside Leonardo.

She secretly glanced at Leonardo and found that his expression was the same as usual. She could not see anything wrong with him. He was exceptionally calm.

...

Throughout the meal, Leonardo did not say a word.

After finishing his meal, he got up and went upstairs to his study.

Summer did not disturb him but directly went back to the bedroom.

However, Leonardo had never returned.

Summer fell asleep in a daze and woke up in the middle of the night.

She subconsciously stretched her hand to the side, only to find that it was empty.

Leonardo was still in the study?

She sat up and took her phone to check the time. She realized that it was already one o'clock.

Summer put on a dress and went to Leonardo's study.

The door was unlocked. When she pushed the door open, she smelled a strong smell of smoke. There was no light on in the study. In the darkness of the room, she saw a spark.

Leonardo was smoking.

Summer did not turn on the light. She was groping in the dark and walked over gently.

In the darkness, they couldn't see each other's faces, but they could feel each other's auras.

Summer sat down beside him, and the smoke made her cough lightly.

The spark flashed for a moment before it was extinguished.

In the darkness, Leonardo's voice was hoarse and deep like a ghost, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." Summer's warm voice was soft as she fumbled to hold his hand.

His usually warm palms were frighteningly cold.

Summer held his hand and passed the temperature of her palm to him.

But very quickly, Leonardo pulled out his hand.

After a while, his voice sounded again.

"It was in that abandoned factory that they threatened her with me."

Summer knew that she was referring to Leonardo's biological mother.

Simple words explained everything.

Although Leonardo's previous reaction had already indicated that this matter might be true, Summer was still shocked when she heard Leonardo admit it.copy right hot novel pub
