His Ugly Bride novel Chapter 656

Summer stood in front of the door to her apartment and slowly took out the key. Just as she inserted it into the keyhole, she heard a door open and close.

She turned around and saw someone close the door to the opposite apartment. Did Bruce really live here? Was it just a coincidence? Did this kind of thing really exist?

She narrowed her eyes slightly and pondered for a moment before entering her own apartment.

But as soon as she came in, Bruce, who had closed the door of his room, suddenly opened it again.

He stood by his door and glanced at her door before taking out his phone and dialing a number.

"I've met her. I think she is a little suspicious of me."

The guy he called said something, but Bruce listened carefully and replied expressionlessly, "Got it.”

The next day.

When she went out, she took a glance at Bruce's door. It was tightly shut. She didn't know whether he was at home.

She planned to stop by Leonardo's house for Rosie on her way to Eliza's studio. She had breakfast at a restaurant and picked up some delicate cupcakes in a bakery for Rosie.

She checked the time and drove to Leonardo's villa, thought he had left by then.

She saw a car parked at the villa's gate when she arrived. Its trunk was open, and a bodyguard was putting luggage inside. It looked like someone was going on a journey.

She glanced into the house and frowned slightly. "Is Leonardo at home?"

The bodyguard knew who she was. Although she wasn't living here, Leonardo agreed to let her visit Rosie, which meant she was special to him. Therefore, the bodyguard was nice to her.

He said respectfully, "Mr. Emerson went out early in the morning."

"Then why the luggage? Who is leaving?"

Before he could answer, Kate yelled walking out of the house, "Summer."

Summer looked up and saw her coming over bundled up. Remembering what Bruce had said yesterday, Summer asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I will see a doctor overseas." Kate dipped her head. She was wearing a thick woolen scarf and gloves, feeble and shuddering in the cold.

Bruce had prepared her for this yesterday, so Summer was not surprised. However, Kate misread Summer's calm look.

Kate assumed Leonardo asked her to get treatment because Summer persuaded him. Kate sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Summer."

Summer was puzzled. "What are you thanking me for?"

Figuring Summer wanted to avoid the subject, she gave her a faint smile. Kate didn't wear any makeup, but like Leonardo, her skin was fair and perfect, even though it was pale from sickness.

"Miss, it's time," the bodyguard urged Kate.

Kate looked up at Summer and said, "I'm leaving. I wish you and Leonardo a lifetime of happiness."

She sounded calm, as if already accepting her fate of possible doom. Summer expressionlessly asked, "Where is Bruce? Why isn't he here?"

Kate froze before replying softly, "We are not that close. Why would I bring him?"

In fact, Bruce did not want to leave the country with her. Kate was too proud to tell Summer she wished Bruce could accompany her, and it didn't matter anymore, because he would not do that for her.

Summer had no idea what was on Kate's mind. She was somewhat puzzled. It looked like Bruce was right. Kate was leaving without him.
