Summer returned to the car and went lost in thought. Stanley had seemed a little strange when he received her call at noon.
And what his assistant said even confused her more.
Stanley's assistant said that she ordered takeout for him, which meant that Stanley did not go to the Golden Cauldron Club.
The assistant didn't have to lie to her about such a trivial matter.
Therefore, if the assistant was telling the truth, who was the "Stanley" she met at the Golden Cauldron Club?
Were there two identical people?
Summer had never met two unrelated people who looked exactly the same.
Twins might look alike. But not every pair of twins looked exactly the same.
Leonardo and Kate were twin siblings. In spite of different genders, they looked quite similar in their features.
So far, she still hadn't known much about Stanley.
As for his family background, kin and friends, she knew nothing.
Thus, she was unable to rule out the possibility of his having twin brother.
Summer glanced at Stanley's psychiatric clinic before starting the car and leaving.
No matter how much she thought now, it was just her guess.
She still needed to find Stanley to figure it out.
When Summer drove back to the villa, she saw Leonardo's car there.
She looked at the time and it was only five o'clock.
Was he off work so early today?
Just as she thought, someone pushed open his car door.
Then, Leonardo got off the car. His tall and erect figure appeared in Summer's sight.
The temperature had dropped today, but he just wore a thin suit. Standing straight, he turned his attention to Summer. Calm and expressionless, he didn't seem to feel the cold.
Summer opened the car door and got off the car after some hesitation. She walked towards Leonardo.
Two steps away from him, she stopped. Her gaze met Leonardo's.
After silence for a few seconds, Summer asked, "You are off work?"
Almost at the same time, Leonardo said,
"Where have you been?"
Both of them paused as they finished speaking.
Leonardo knitted his eyebrows. The emotions in his eyes were complicated and difficult to distinguish.
Summer knew that Leonardo would definitely not speak first.
"Shouldn't you know clearly where I have been?" He had arranged for bodyguards and they had followed her since she left the house early in the morning. Those bodyguards would definitely tell Leonardo everything about her movements.
She remembered that when she first married Leonardo, there wasn't even a single maid in his villa, all of them were bodyguards.
