His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian) novel Chapter 146

In the car, Summer occasionally turned to glance at Leonardo.

Leonardo looked straight ahead. But as if he had eyes on the top of his head, he asked her, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I am not..." Summer quickly looked away.

How impressive of him to notice that!

The Jarretts might invite Summer to dinner when Alexander returned home, but it might not be this noon. Besides, didn't Leonardo need to call to confirm his guess?

Instead, he came directly, which meant he was sure of this.

He was a quite confident man.

They arrived at the Jarrett's quickly. As soon as the servants saw Summer, they bowed respectfully and greeted, "Miss Summer."

Summer led Leonardo inside.

There was no one in the hall, but some people were talking in the kitchen.

"Summer! You're back!"

Karen walked out of the kitchen. When she saw Summer, her eyes narrowed with laughter.

Summer said calmly, "Mom."

When Karen approached, her expression changed when she saw Leonardo standing behind Summer.

She glanced at Leonardo and pulled Summer to the side. "Summer, why did you bring him here? Are you messing around? You and him..."

Karen seemed to find it hard to say. After a pause, she continued, "Even if you guys are close, you shouldn't have taken him home! What if Leonardo finds out?"

What if Leonardo found out?

Whatever, he wanted to come anyway.

"Nothing I can do about it!" Summer looked indifferent.

Karen still thought that Leonardo was "Douglas". So, she assumed Summer was cheating on Leonardo since she brought "Douglas" home.

However, Karen's attitude was obviously different from before.

She used to scold Summer when she saw Summer and "Douglas" together. This time, although she sounded disapproving, she was just worried that Leonardo would find out about this.

This change of attitude was truly intriguing.

Summer did not intend to argue with Karen about this, and asked, "Where is Grandfather?"

Both she and Leonardo wanted to see Alexander.

"He is upstairs in the study. I'll take you to him," Karen said as she walked upstairs.

After walking a few steps, she turned around and saw that "Douglas" was still following behind Summer. Her expression changed slightly as she said, "Summer, you..."

Summer pretended not to understand what Karen meant, asking, "What's wrong?"

Karen said with rare stubbornness, "Mr. Emerson, stay in the living room for tea.

Summer is just going up to meet her grandfather. She will come down soon."

"It's fine. I'll go up with her," Leonardo said indifferently.

Then he took Summer upstairs. The house was built by Alexander himself in the early years. It was huge, and there were many rooms on the second floor.

Leonardo asked her, "Which one is your grandfather's study?"

Alexander's expression changed several times before he finally calmed down. He asked uncertainly, "Are you ... Leonardo?"

"It's me." Leonardo curled his lips, but it

wasn't a smile. The air seemed to freeze around them.

Summer did not expect Alexander would know Leonardo.

"You..."

When Alexander was about to say something, a servant's voice suddenly came from outside, "Sir, it's time to eat."

"Let's go eat first." Alexander glanced at Leonardo again, then turned around and walked out of the door.

Summer looked at Leonardo and followed Alexander, asking, "Have you met my grandfather before? And he knows you?"

Leonardo did not deny it. Instead, he replied straightforwardly, "Yes."

When the three of them arrived at the dining

room, the other three Jarretts had already seated themselves at the dining table.

Vicky was surprised that Summer brought "Douglas" home. She sneered, "Summer, this is a family gathering. Why did you bring an outsider here?"

Although "Douglas" was handsome, Vicky hated him for not having interest in her. Now she took a fancy to Adams and felt that Adams' status was slightly higher than "Douglas". So, she naturally disrespected "Douglas".

Before Summer could speak, Alexander coldly glanced at Vicky.

Although Alexander loved Vicky and Spencer, he did not spoil them as brainlessly as Lynn. He was relatively strict.

Vicky was a little afraid of him, so she quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.
