Summer decided to go to visit Jessica and checked the route and booked her flight tickets.
It had been raining there. So, Summer bought a waterproof suitcase, and a lot of things Jessica liked to eat and some small articles that she could use daily.
In the past, it seemed that Jessica was always worried about her, while she had never done anything for Jessica.
Thinking of this, she felt a little ashamed.
Summer booked the flight two days in advance.
After setting the departure time, Summer decided to tell Leonardo that she was going far away.
That night, when Leonardo came over for dinner, Summer told him about it.
After hearing it, Leonardo pondered for a moment, "Where is it?"
The place where Jessica was filming was a small mountain village in another city. Summer gave a detailed address, and Leonardo searched in his mind. He did not know where that place was.
"It's just a small village. It's a bit far from Hoover. It might take some time. I'm not sure when I'll be back."
Summer said as she prepared the soup for Leonardo.
Leonardo frowned, "What about Rosie? Do you want to leave her alone?"
"You are here. You can take good care of her." Summer knew in her heart of hearts that Leonardo had taken good care of Rosie both in the past and now.
Possibly, it was because she didn't have high expectation for Leonardo.
Leonardo put down his chopsticks and looked at her with a deep gaze. "Summer, aren't you anxious?"
Summer was slightly shocked, "Why should I be anxious?"
"I haven't recovered my memories yet. Rosie is at my house, but you want to leave us and go so far away. Do you really think I don't have any other women, or you can compete with me for custody of Rosie?"
Leonardo's tone was cold and it is hard to tell his emotions.
Summer paused slightly.
After pondering for a moment, she could not understand what Leonardo meant.
She looked up at him, "What do you mean?"
"I made it very clear."
Leonardo sounded a little angry, but his expression did not change. He did not immediately throw away his chopsticks and left. Instead, he took his time over the meal after he finished speaking.
He lowered his head to eat. From Summer's perspective, she could only see his forehead and slightly frowned eyebrows.
Summer asked tentatively, "You don't want me to go?"
Leonardo ignored her.
Summer frowned, "If you don't tell me, how can I know what you're trying to say?"
Leonardo simply put down his chopsticks and stood up to leave.
Summer quickly stood up and pulled him back, "You don't think I should spend time on other people and things, do you?"
Leonardo's eyebrows twitched slightly and he did not say anything
Summer felt that she had figured out what was on Leonardo's mind.
"Leonardo, I can tell you that I care about you and Rosie very much. You are more important to me than anyone else, but Jessica is also very important to me. Other than my lover and child, I also have friends and my career. I can't put all my energies on you alone."
She had never regarded Leonardo as her everything for all these years.
This might have something to do with her upbringing.
When Leonardo heard that, he didn't even look at her. Instead, he coldly said, "Whatever you want."
Then, Leonardo shook off her hand and left.
BANG!
The door was slammed shut.
In the quiet room, Summer was the only one left.
She returned to the dining table and sat down.
