During the meal, Leonardo kept silent.
But Summer always felt that Leonardo was strange.
Summer came out from Rosie's room after she fell asleep. Then she suddenly saw Leonardo standing at the door.
Summer was shocked because she didn't expect Leonardo to be here.
She took a deep breath and looked at Leonardo angrily, "Why are you standing here?"
With an ice-cold face, Leonardo didn't say anything. He just stood at the door. Summer didn't know why he did this.
"Follow me."
Leonardo turned around to leave after finished his words.
Summer was confused, but she still followed him.
When they arrived at the study, Leonardo took out a recording pen.
Leonardo pressed the "on" button.
This recording pen was the one that Kate had given Leonardo.
A familiar voice came from inside.
Summer did not expect Kate to actually record their conversation. Kate would indeed use such a crude tactic. Summer wondered what Leonardo would think after hearing this. After all, his moods changed hourly.
Summer pissed Kate off. Leonardo knew this when he returned at noon. But he didn't get mad at Summer. And Summer thought it's over.
However, Summer didn't expect Leonardo would hear their conversation and then question her.
After finishing playing the recording, Leonardo crossed his arms and stared at Summer indifferently.
He didn't say anything and showed no expression on his face.
Summer could not understand what he was thinking, so she only stared at him silently.
"How much do you want?" Leonardo asked coldly.
Summer remembered what she had said and didn't know how to answer.
Leonardo narrowed his eyes and took a step forward. His shoe tip had touched that of Summer.
They were too close, and Summer could even smell the cold scent on Leonardo.
She wanted to take a step back. But under Leonardo's gaze, Summer didn't dare to move her feet at all.
Leonardo's black eyes were filled with anger. Then he asked, "In other words, how much do you think I'm worth?"
Summer said smartly, "Price... priceless."
However, she stuttered because of tension.
Leonardo raised his eyebrows as if he was surprised that Summer would say so.
Seeing that Leonardo fell silent, Summer felt a bit more nervous.
Did her words sound so faked? Did Leonardo believe what she said?
However, what Leonardo did dispelled her doubts.
He suddenly reached out and gently pressed his fingers on Summer's lips, stroking them.
Immediately, Summer heard Leonardo's lowered voice, "Sweet words, sweet mouth, do you agree?"
His voice was originally very deep, and when it was deliberately lowered, it sounded so sexy.
Summer kept steady and allowed Leonardo's fingers to press on her lips. People would look flirtatious when they did this. But Summer wasn't disgusted with what Leonardo did to her.
Summer was stupefied for a while before she suddenly reacted. She pushed Leonardo's hand away and took a step back, "Mr. Emerson, please be a gentleman and stop doing that again."
"Well, OK," Leonardo replied lightly.
Summer did not know whether Leonardo would listen to her or not. She explained to him, "I just want to enrage your sister. So, I said that. Please don't take it seriously."
Leonardo replied noncommittally, "OK, I see."
