Summer took a rough look before sitting down on the bed.
Rosie took off her shoes and climbed onto it, sitting side by side with Summer.
Rosie was so cute. Now that she knew Rosie was her daughter, she found her even more adorable.
Summer touched her head and kissed her on the cheek.
Rosie opened her eyes wide and sat up to kiss back.
After she finished, she giggled. She found it funny.
Summer kissed her again and Rosie climbed on her lap.
They lay down and rolled over. Rosie giggled harder when Summer tickled her.
When Rosie was tired, Summer held her hand and lay on the bed.
Feeling that someone was around, Summer sat up. She saw Leonardo standing at the door, not knowing when he was here.
Summer sat straight and pulled Rosie up. She said warmly, "Dad is here."
"Dad!"
Rosie called him excitedly, got out of bed and ran over to hug Leonardo's leg.
Rosie was so small, like a toy on Leonardo's lap. The scene was very harmonious.
Leonardo looked down and saw Rosie staring at him. He bent down and picked her up.
Rosie hugged his neck and sized him up.
Leonardo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You look alright." Rosie said with a puzzled
expression.
Leonardo sat down with her in his arms and asked patiently, "Why?"
Summer knew what Rosie was going to say, so she tried to stop her.
"I thought you were jealous."
"Rosie!"
However, Summer wasn't quick enough to stop her.
"Summer said you were jealous," Rosie said proudly.
Summer was speechless.
Leonardo gave Summer a meaningful glance.
Summer didn't know what he was thinking.
Summer straightened her clothes seriously. She did not look at Leonardo.
In the next moment, she heard Leonardo saying, "Not Summer. She's your mom."
"Mom?"
Rosie pursed her lips and tugged at his tie.
She refuted, "Summer is not my mom."
Leonardo and Summer were stunned.
Although Rosie was only three, they shouldn't treat her like an ignorant child.
She had her own thoughts.
It took time for her to accept Summer as her mom.
They should be more patient.
Feeling depressed at first, Summer calmed down very quickly.
If she had died three years ago, she wouldn't have been able to see Rosie. It would have been impossible for Rosie to call her mom.
Plus, Leonardo and Amber had been by her side for the past three years. She only got to know Rosie very recently. Hoping Rosie could call her mom now was not realistic.
Summer stood up and walked over. "Rosie, what do you want for dinner? I'll cook for you."
After a long afternoon, it was almost dinner time.
