Predestined Bride

Summer had been thinking about cooking for “Douglas”. After all, that was her promise.

Since they entered the mall, they had been showing Summer around.

When it was getting dark, Summer found an excuse to stop. “I’m so tired. Let’s find a place to rest.”

Then, they found a place to drink.

Summer took out her phone and saw two calls from “Douglas”.

She felt “Douglas” was quite impatient. But she didn’t expect that he would call her twice. She could imagine that he became quite angry but held back his anger after he called her a second time.

Summer stood up and said, “Sorry, I have to go back now. Thank you. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

After leaving the mall, she walked towards the bus stop while calling “Douglas”.

Not long after, the phone was picked up.

“Where are you?”

His voice was already low. So when he was in a bad mood, others would feel that there was a bit of sullen in his voice.

Summer felt a little cold in her neck.

She touched her neck and said, “I’m still outside. I’ll be right back. If you’re hungry, find something to eat.”

“I’m asking you where you are,” he repeated.

The impatience and anger in his tone were no longer concealed.

Summer turned around to take a look and told “Douglas” the name of the shopping mall.

Since “Douglas” threw away the black card that seemed powerful in front of her, she no longer dared to provoke him.

Summer turned around and walked to the entrance of the mall, waiting for “Douglas”.

Not long after, Summer saw his car.

Just as she was about to go over, someone behind her shouted, “Summer, why haven’t you left yet?”

Summer turned around stiffly and saw the colleagues who had shopped with her standing behind her.

“It’s because…”

Summer was interrupted by “Douglas”.

“Summer, get in the car.” Leonardo pulled in at her side. He rolled down the window and looked at her expressionlessly.

Summer’s colleagues looked shocked at the same time.

Summer had a premonition.

She turned her head to look at “Douglas” and said with a fake smile, “Although I am younger than you, I am your elder cousin-in-law.”

Leonardo tilted his head slightly and looked at her colleagues behind Summer. He looked up and said impatiently, “Get in the car.”

Summer felt he was getting impatient again. Afraid that he would make trouble again, she could only turn to the people behind her and say, “He is my husband’s cousin. He picks me up on his way. I’m leaving now.”

She didn’t dare to stay any longer. She opened the door and got in.

When “Douglas” started the engine, Summer could see her colleagues talking lively through the rearview mirror…

Summer sighed and turned to look at “Douglas”. “Why did you come so quickly? Are you working nearby?”

“Douglas” didn’t respond.

Summer turned her head and looked out of the window. She didn’t want to talk to him either.

…

After arriving at home, Summer went to the kitchen to cook.

In the past few days, she had already known the taste of “Douglas” well. He liked spicy food.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After dinner, they went back to their rooms.

Summer took a bath, lay on the bed, and had a video chat with Jessica.

Jessica was dressed in an ancient costume, and behind her was an antique building.

Summer asked her, “Are you still in Studio City?”

“Yes. I’m shooting a night play,” Jessica ran to a small corner and whispered to her, “Do you know who I’m cooperating with today?”

“Who is it?” Summer suddenly thought of something and said, “It can’t be Adams. Didn’t he go abroad to study?”

“It’s him!” Jessica said excitedly, “The director seems to know him, so he asks him to be a guest performer. I just happen to cooperate with him. I’m so nervous that my body is trembling. What should I do?”

Summer pursed her lips and said faintly, “I don’t know. I’m also nervous.”

Adams was the youngest Grand Slam winner. Summer had liked him for eight years.

On the other end of the phone came a sudden voice. “Jessica, come here for acting!”

“OK,” Jessica replied and said to Summer, “I’ve got to go. I’ll help you find Adams for an autograph. His nude photo may not be available, but I’ll try my best.”

After saying that, she turned off the video.

Summer found it funny. She was not as obscene as Jessica!

…

The next day.

When Summer arrived at the company, she felt that the way those colleagues looked at her was strange.

She had expected such a scene, so she didn’t care much about it.

Stone was probably scared by Summer’s means. In the next few days, he was quiet and did not make trouble for Summer.

It was not until Friday that he brought someone over. “Summer, today, you go out to do market research with him. Today is Friday. Give me the report next Monday.”

The person that Stone brought was a tall man who looked simple and honest.

Summer glanced at the man and found she had never seen him.

There were many people in the market department. Summer, of course, couldn’t know everyone because she had been here for just a few days. Therefore, she didn’t think too much.

They left the company and took a taxi.

Summer asked, “Does the company reimburse the fare?”

“Yes.” The man looked at her strangely.

Summer was vigilant. She turned to look out of the window and found they were heading for the suburbs.

When she came out, she had read the information. The product this time was a kind of household necessities. They should go to the residential area.

Summer happened to pass by a pharmacy. She looked down and bit her lips fiercely. She knitted her eyebrows in pain and said, “Can you stop the car? I’m going to buy something.”

The man asked her, “What?”

“Painkillers.” Summer turned to look at him. “I’m on my period. I have an upset stomach.”

The man thought for a while before he understood. “I’ll accompany you.”

“Alright.” Summer knew that even if she refused his request, he would figure out other ways to prevent her from getting out of the car.

She was certain that Stone asked this man to retaliate.

They got out of the car and entered the pharmacy. The man followed closely behind her. Summer bought some medicine and slowly walked out.

At this time, a man wearing a mask and a cap walked in. He coughed lightly with his hand against his lips. As Summer went past him, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm in astonishment. “Cousin, why are you here?”

The man wearing the mask seemed to be shocked for a moment. He reached out and lifted the cap, revealing a pair of familiar and warm eyes.
