Summer raised her head with a forced smile.
This expression was real, not faked.
The possibility of Rosie being taken away by Michael excluded any laugh.
Michael said gently, "Go and finish your cooking. I just have something to talk with Leonardo. He was too busy in the company, and rarely seen in the old house, so I can only come here to find him..."
Summer quickly detected the loophole in Michael's words.
Since Michael knew that Leonardo was busy in the company, he would naturally know that Leonardo was still in the company right now.
Michael didn't even have the keys to Leonardo's house, so why did he come here
now? To stand at the door and wait for Leonardo?
No, he was clearly here to catch Leonardo.
If Leonardo came back early today, then Michael would definitely know that Summer had an appointment with Leonardo.
"Let me get you a glass of water first." As she spoke, Summer closed the door and turned to fetch water for Michael.
Michael walked to the sofa and sat down without saying a word.
Summer poured a glass of water for him and was about to return to the kitchen, Michael suddenly said, "I forgot to bring my phone with me. Can you lend me your phone for a call?"
Summer's heart skipped a beat.
She was planning to get in the kitchen to text Leonardo, telling him not to come back for the time being. Michael was really an old cunning fox. Summer turned to look at him and said, "Sure.
Fortunately, Summer had the habit of locking the frequently used software on her phone.
"Let me unlock it first." As she spoke, she deleted the record of recent contacts.
Michael was sitting while Summer was standing in front of him, his view couldn't reach her phone.
After that, she handed the phone to Michael.
Michael took the phone and made a call, but no one answered.
He looked at Summer apologetically, "Can you put your phone here in case he should call me back later?"
Michael's intention was now crystal clear.
He wanted to kill any chance of her informing Leonardo.
Summer's expression turned a little unnatural, "Alright."
"Thank you." In front of her, Michael locked the phone and placed it on the end table.
Summer stared at the phone for a few seconds before turning around and entering the kitchen.
She cut the vegetables absent-mindedly, thinking that Leonardo would be smart enough to notice Michael's car when he came back.
Michael could declare that he didn't bring his phone, but he must have come here by car.
She did the cooking very slowly, and finished it at nine o'clock, an hour later than usual.
And Leonardo didn't return.
Summer was relieved.
With dinner all prepared, she walked out of the kitchen and into the hall.
"Mr. Michael, I'm leaving." She walked over to Michael and said.
She cooked for two hours, and Michael sat in the hall for two hours.
After two hours of silence, his voice was slightly hoarse, "You're not waiting for Leonardo?"
"When he comes back, he will drive me out anyway." Summer lowered her head to conceal the emotions in her eyes from Michael.
With her saying that, Michael didn't stop her anymore.
Michael handed her the phone, "Alright, go ahead."
Summer took a long breath after she got out of the apartment and into the elevator.
She and Leonardo were still too careless. However, Michael was also not comfortable in his heart.
He tried to sound her out with Rosie, but didn't expect her to use it as an excuse to approach Leonardo.
