Predestined Bride

Summer handed napkins to Jessica.

Summer hadn’t told Jessica what happened between Leonardo and her, so Jessica was surprised when she heard what Douglas said.

Douglas didn’t know that. He was shocked by Jessica. After he sat down, he asked Summer blankly, “What’s wrong with my name?”

“It’s fine. Your name is pretty good.” Summer patted his head.

Douglas nodded and sat there quietly. He wasn’t noisy as usual.

He was also good at acting.

“Douglas is Leonardo’s cousin,” Summer explained. Jessica was shocked. Summer said, “The ‘Douglas’ you met before is Leonardo.”

Jessica was astonished.

After a while, Jessica frowned and said, “Do you mean that the ‘Douglas’ is Leonardo. This cute boy is Douglas.”

“Yes,” Summer nodded.

Summer turned around and saw that Douglas blushed.

“Why are you blushing?” Summer was surprised.

“He’s shy.” Jessica was confused. “Why did Leonardo pretend to be Douglas? Is he crazy? Does he have mental illness? It doesn’t matter. The key point is that he isn’t ugly. He is so handsome!”

Douglas didn’t know what had happened. Now he knew that.

He frowned and looked at Summer. Summer poured him a glass of water and said, “Drink water.”

Summer looked at Jessica and said, “Keep your voice down.”

Jessica covered her mouth.

The “Douglas” was Leonardo. He wasn’t ugly and he was handsome. He shouldn’t be impotent!

Douglas was here, so Jessica didn’t say anything. She took out her phone and texted Summer, “Is he impotent? Have you tried?”

Summer didn’t answer her vulgar question.

Jessica turned around and teased Douglas with a smile, “How old are you? You’re so cute.”

Douglas’s face turned red again. “I’m fourteen years old.”

“You’re so tall. You’re only fourteen now. You’ll definitely be a handsome man when you grow up.”

Douglas wasn’t modest. “It should be.”

Summer had got used to it.

Jessica was surprised. Then she hugged her belly and laughed.

Summer tilted her head and shouted at Douglas, “You’re so cute.”

Douglas blushed, “Stop…”

“Are you shy?” Summer was surprised. Douglas would be shy if someone praised him.

It was unbelievable.

Jessica was lively. Douglas was talkative. They had dinner happily.

When they almost finished eating, Douglas got up and went to the restroom. Then Summer had the chance to talk to Jessica about Leonardo.

“I haven’t told you that Leonardo was shot. When I took the bullet out for him, he didn’t scram in pain or faint.”

Jessica was worried.

The Emerson family was a celebrated family with a long history. The situation of the Emerson family was complicated.

Ordinary people couldn’t get guns casually.

Jessica frowned, “What did Leonardo do? Why was he shot?”

Summer was shocked by Leonardo’s perseverance. She didn’t pay attention to this problem.

Why was Leonardo shot?

What did he do?

“It’s complicated. The Emerson family cares about their reputation, but they don’t care about the rumors of Leonardo all these years. Furthermore, they asked him to get engaged to Vicky, but he married you. Even if Leonardo was incapable, he shouldn’t have married a family member of the Jarretts.”

Jessica was Summer’s good friend. Moreover, what Jessica said was the truth, so Summer wouldn’t mind.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Summer nodded. “I’ve thought about it, but I don’t know why. My grandfather settled the engagement when he was at home. It’s said that he went abroad within a few years after the engagement. I remembered that.”

“I’ve heard about this. Back then, Leonardo and his mother were kidnapped. When the Emersons went to save them, Leonardo’s mother was dead. Although Leonardo was alive, his face was disfigured and he was impotent. Not long after, the news that Leonardo would get engaged to Vicky was released.”

Jessica had a relative who was a politician, so she knew more about it than others. Jessica was older than Summer and Jessica heard some news from the relative.

However, it was superficial.

Summer analyzed, “In other words, the reason why the Emersons asked Leonardo and Vicky to get engaged was probably related to the kidnapping.”

“It’s possible.” Jessica thought so.

Summer thought about it.

The engagement of Leonardo and Vicky wasn’t simple, and Summer’s grandfather’s departure was related to this matter.

“What will you do next?” After Jessica knew that “Douglas” was Leonardo, she was happy for Summer.

However, Jessica was worried after Summer told her this.

Those celebrated families looked glamorous on the surface. They must have done many bad things stealthily.

Leonardo was the successor of the Emerson family. He was smart. He could hide his nature for so many years.

“I don’t know. Play it by ear.” Summer didn’t know how to do.

Ever since she got married, she couldn’t control her fate.

Most of the time, people were pushed forward by fate.

She couldn’t stop or go back. She was pushed forward. Maybe there was a way. Maybe there was an abyss ahead. She couldn’t master her fate.

Jessica was worried. They remained silent.

Douglas came back.

A person followed Douglas.

They came up. Douglas moved aside. “Summer, this is my brother.”

Summer looked up and saw the person.

“Adams!”

“Adams!”

Jessica and Summer were surprised.

Jessica asked, “Is Adams your brother?”

Douglas scratched his head. “Yes. He’s my brother.”

“His surname is Wilson and your surname is Emerson.” Summer had met Adams many times, but she was surprised that he was related to the Emerson family.

Douglas explained, “My brother takes my father’s surname and I take my mother’s surname.”

Adams smiled at Summer, “Douglas is naughty. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

“It’s fine.” Summer was at a loss.
