Although Rosie spoke intermittently, Leonardo could surprisingly understand what she meant.
Rosie wanted the three of them to be together, but her ability to express herself was limited. So, the words she chose failed to convey her idea.
Leonardo said, "I allow her to go with us, but she doesn't want to."
Hearing it, Rosie stopped crying and looked at Leonardo seriously.
Rosie said in confusion, "She wants to come."
Leonardo raised his eyebrows and looked at Rosie, "Is that so? Then why hasn't she made it?"
Leonardo felt that Rosie was quite interesting. She cried hard just now. Now, she stopped to argue with him although she didn't understand
what he meant.
Rosie was confused. She pouted her lips and said angrily, "She'll come!"
"Alright." Leonardo took a deep breath and returned, "She'll come."
The elevator reached the first floor. Leonardo strode out of the elevator with Rosie in his arms.
He put Rosie down and took her hand.
Suddenly, Rosie broke free from his hand and ran towards the elevator.
Leonardo stared at his freed hand for a few seconds, and then strode over.
Rosie was pressing the elevator button on tiptoe. But it was a bit too high for her to reach it.
Leonardo bent down, stretched out his long arms and picked Rosie up. He carried her on his shoulder and walked out.
"Let me down!" Rosie flapped her calf and said, "Put me down."
Without saying a word, Leonardo directly took her to the parking lot.
He spared a hand to press the car key. After opening the door with one hand, he stuffed Rosie into the car.
The back seat of the car was equipped with a child's safety seat. It should have been installed earlier.
Leonardo pressed her on the seat and fastened her seat belt. Since Rosie was still angry, Leonardo's face darkened. "Sit obediently. Don't move, and don't shout!"
Rosie was so scared that she shrank her shoulders. She flicked a nervous glance at Leonardo and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Rosie was afraid of Leonardo.
Leonardo closed the car door with satisfaction and walked to the front to drive.
When he started the car, he looked at Rosie through the rearview mirror. Seeing that she was playing with her seat belt with a sullen look, he retracted his gaze.
Normally, it was a twenty-minute drive, but Leonardo drove ten minutes longer.
The car stopped at the entrance of the villa. Leonardo got off the car and opened the back door, only to find that Rosie had fallen asleep.
Leonardo bent down to carry her out and whispered, "You fall sleep once you're full."
Recently, Tim had been living with Leonardo. Noticing Leonardo carrying Rosie in, Tim was shocked.
Then he remembered what Leonardo said last time. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. "Mr. Emerson, why do you bring Rosie back?"
Did Leonardo directly snatch Rosie from Summer?
Leonardo walked in without looking sideways.
"Rosie insisted on coming back with me."
Even though Rosie wanted to run back when she just got out of the elevator, she voluntarily followed Leonardo as he left Summer's house.
Leonardo directly took Rosie to her room.
After placing Rosie on the bed, he suddenly stopped.
No one had ever told him that it was Rosie's room. He instinctively carried Rosie here.
He stared at Rosie for a few seconds before leaving.
Tim was standing at the door.
