Douglas was young and loved to play, so he was naturally happy to attend the dinner party.
However, he had already forgotten that he had returned secretly. When his uncle saw him later, he would definitely ask him.
Douglas was so annoyed that he wanted to scratch his hair, but when he thought that he had just done the hairstyle, he forcefully withdrew his hand.
Summer explained, "Douglas has been back for a period of time. He has always lived with us, and his family know about it."
Liam was a good subordinate, so he naturally wouldn't ask too much about his boss's affairs.
He took Summer and Douglas to the lounge
to meet Michael. Michael looked the same as the last time Summer saw him. He was still calm and composed.
Leonardo looked very similar to Michael, but there was a gloomy aura on Leonardo, and there was always a gloomy haze in his eyes that could not be swept away.
When Michael saw Summer, he was also slightly stunned. "Summer?"
"Dad," Summer walked up to him and called him obediently.
Michael had never seen Summer's usual look, so it was normal for him to be surprised for a moment.
He was no ordinary person after all, and after a short period of surprise, he had his normal expression quickly. "Where's Leonardo?"
"He is not feeling well, so he didn't come." Summer didn't even feel too guilty when she lied. She herself was extremely shocked at that.
Fortunately, Michael did not seem to care about whether Leonardo would come or not.
He nodded. "Okay."
Michael glanced at Douglas standing behind Summer and said, "Adams is also here. You should chat together."
Just now, Liam had already told him about Douglas, so he didn't ask any further.
Douglas smiled quietly and obediently, "Then we will go to see him now."
After leaving the lounge, Douglas gave Summer a thumbs-up, "Summer, you're really amazing! You actually dare to lie in front of my uncle!?"
"This is not a lie. This is an excuse," Summer shook her head and said, "do you think he doesn't know that Leonardo isn't willing to come? It's just that I found an excuse to prevaricate when he asked. No one would feel embarrassed. That's it."
"I see. You adults are so complicated." Douglas intoned, elongating the word.
Summer smiled. She heard Adams's gentle voice behind her. "Douglas, Summer."
Although Douglas had said before that Adams was also here, Summer did not take it seriously. But they met him the moment they left the lounge.
It was really embarrassed!
Summer turned around and smiled stiffly. "Adams."
Douglas also called him, "Adams."
"You arrived just now?" Before they could reply, Douglas looked behind Summer and said, "Leonardo doesn't come."
"He doesn't feel well..." She gave the excuse to Michael just now very smoothly. When she used it again to Adams, Summer actually felt that it was very strange.
Adams revealed an understanding expression as he changed the topic and said, "I'll show you around."
After that, he took the lead and turned around to walk in front of them.
Douglas was obviously a fan of his brother. He poked Summer with his arm. "Is my brother handsome?"
"Yes." Summer nodded. "And he is a good actor."
