Leonardo glanced coldly at Warren. Warren lowered his head slightly, as if he was not the one who said those words. He looked calm. But Summer noticed that Warren's hands were tightly clenched together.
Summer chuckled. She thought Warren was so brave that he wasn't afraid of Leonardo at all.
Leonardo stood behind Summer with one hand on the table. This posture looked like he was holding Summer in his arms.
He stretched out two fingers and tapped twice on the table to remind Summer. "Sign it."
Summer didn't dare to sign it.
Warren was a famous lawyer in Hoover City and was also a personal lawyer to Leonardo. Once these things were signed, they would have legal effect.
The Emerson Group was a big company, yet Leonardo gave it to her rashly.
She had never coveted the Emerson Group. Now Leonardo gave it to her, she did not dare to take it.
Summer did not know how to persuade him anymore. She frowned and called out his name, "Leonardo!"
Leonardo raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Warren's time is precious. The longer you dawdle, the more I pay him. We still have to raise Rosie and should save money as possible as we can."
His tone was solemn, as if he really cared about this small amount of money. Summer knew that he was teasing her. He was even in the mood to tease her now.
"Leonardo, I won't sign it. The Emerson Group is your family's property. How could you treat it
like a joke and give it to me blindly?"
Leonardo seemed to find her serious expression interesting. He smiled faintly and said, "This is not a joke. It's my betrothal gift to you."
Summer was stunned for a moment before she could speak.
She softened her voice and asked him, "Aren't you afraid that I'll change my mind and run away with another man with your money?"
"Oh? I remember one sentence you said before." Leonardo paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Is there any man in Hoover City who is more promising than Leonardo?"
Summer almost forgot what she had said.
A long time ago, she had said it in front of the media. She didn't expect that he would still remember it.
Leonardo's voice brought her back from the
memories. "Then let me ask you now. Do you think there is any man who is more promising than me in Hoover City?"
Her answer was the same as before.
"No."
There came a sound of coughing.
Warren, who was ignored, coughed, trying to attract their attention, indicating his presence. He didn't come to look at them being nostalgic.
Summer remembered there was another person in the room. She glared at Leonardo and turned to look at Warren.
Warren sighed, "Do you want me to come back another day?"
As a response, Leonardo pressed the pen back into Summer's hand.
"I'm hungry. Hurry up." With that, Leonardo sat down on the other side and signed with Summer.
Summer didn't move. Leonardo pretended to glower at her. "If you don't sign it, I won't let you see Rosie!"
Speechless, Summer curled her mouth and felt Leonardo was childish and boring now.
Warren seated himself and began to organize the documents.
