Leonardo's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and his face softened in an instant.
He waved to Summer. "Come here."
Summer walked closer and realized that he was holding her phone.
Charlie saw Summer in the video and smiled. "Hi, Summer."
"Grandpa." Summer raised her eyes and smiled at Charlie.
Leonardo put the phone in front of him and said to Charlie, "Alright, go to bed early. Drink more tea and practice more Tai Chi."
His tone was indifferent and normal.
Summer didn't know what they had talked about earlier. She nodded in agreement. "Leonardo is right. Grandpa, you should go to bed early and exercise more."
Charlie kept silent for a while. He waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, I'm going to sleep."
Before Charlie could finish speaking, Leonardo hung up.
He was so fast that it felt perfunctory.
Summer thought she had to correct him. "You should let grandpa hang up first."
"His hands are slow as he gets older. Waiting for him to hang up is a waste of time." Leonardo's expression and tone were perfunctory.
Summer thought of Eliza and stopped persuading him.
She knew that Leonardo had his own considerations.
The next day. Summer got up late as usual.
As soon as she entered the dining room, she saw Eliza serving the dishes silently. The swelling on her forehead reduced a little, looking less frightening than yesterday.
Eliza brought breakfast to the dining table with a straight face.
Summer looked at Eliza quietly while eating breakfast.
She felt that Eliza had become strange after returning from the hospital yesterday.
It was hard to tell how she was different. The most obvious was that she was quiet and was working industriously.
Perhaps her brain was damaged yesterday, or did Eliza find it interesting to be a maid?
When Summer slowly finished her breakfast, Eliza walked toward her as if she had something to say. Summer waved at the other maids to let them leave.
When the other maids left, Summer looked at Eliza and said, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to go back," Eliza bluntly said.
"Really?" Was her mind cleared after she was beaten up by Alisa?
A trace of unwillingness appeared on Eliza's face. She took a deep breath and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I can tell that you and Leonardo are deeply in love."
When she was in the hospital yesterday, she saw it clearly as a bystander.
After Leonardo arrived, Summer was the only one in his eyes.
The man never cared about Alisa, not to mention Eliza.
Eliza was ambitious and occasionally blinded by her confidence, but she was also a sensible adult.
Being the only child of a wealthy family, she was born with pride. She would sometimes do stupid things, but she was not stupid.
Summer was tilting her head to get a glass of water when she heard Eliza's words. She didn't expect it from Eliza and was slightly dumbfounded.
She couldn't help but look up at Eliza.
