There was one question mark and three exclamation points in Jessica's text message. Looking at them, Summer could even imagine the expression on Jessica's face.
She explained to Jessica with patience, "I didn't know it, but Carl called this morning to ask about it. And then I asked Leonardo about it in a roundabout way."
Jessica asked, "And then?"
She felt that Summer had deliberately made her anxious by speaking slowly.
"Leonardo doesn't care at all. I don't know why you're so afraid of him all the time." Summer thought that the current Leonardo was simply the gentlest man in the world.
Although he remained indifferent to the others, he was no longer as sharp as before. He became more restrained and gentler to the people around him.
Jessica replied in a very profound manner, "You don't understand."
She had witnessed Leonardo's unscrupulous means. From the very beginning, she saw Leonardo as a ruthless person.
Jessica and Leonardo would occasionally communicate a little because Carl and Summer had a good relationship with Leonardo. Even after so many years, her fear of Leonardo was still as intense as before.
Ending the chatting with Summer, Jessica was going to send a message to Carl.
She chose an emoji and sent it to Carl after searching through her emoji collection. Then, she sent a message, "Mr. Emerson, please favor me with a dinner tonight."
Last night, when she told Carl that she had dreamed of Leonardo, he laughed at her. However, he got up very early in the morning and called Summer.
Men usually hid their thoughts more deeply than women. They might say nothing about what they did. Even if they said something, their words might not be the whole truth.
Strangely, Carl did not reply immediately.
Jessica thought that he might be busy.
However, she didn't get Carl's reply until she arrived at the event site and gave her phone to Molly.
