Chapter 484 Asking for Help

"Why are you here?"

Summer did not expect Leonardo to come so soon.

Leonardo, who was still in the suit he wore when he left the airport in the afternoon, glanced at
Summer, bent down and picked Rosie up. Then, he entered the house.

After a while, he found Summer did not keep up, so he turned to look at her and said, "It's time to eat."

Hearing this, Summer looked at the clock. Only then did she realize that it was already seven o'clock in
the evening.

Seeing Leonardo sitting down on the sofa with Rosie in his arms, Summer hurriedly closed the door
and followed him.

Summer asked Rosie, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

On Leonardo's knee, Rosie said in excitement, "Drumsticks!"

"Drumsticks? I'm not sure if there are drumsticks available in the refrigerator." Summer turned around
and walked towards the kitchen.

As she expected she wouldn't come back in about half a month, she cleaned out the refrigerator,
except for the frozen meat in the freezer.

But she was not sure if there was any drumstick left

She went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. In the freezer, she found drumsticks.

Since Rosie liked drumsticks and chicken wings, Summer was accustomed to buy more when
shopping. Even if Rosie didn't come here a lot recently, Summer didn't change the habit.



Putting one hand on the refrigerator door, Summer shouted to Rosie, "Rosie, we have drumsticks in the
refrigerator. Be with your dad for a while and I'll cook."

Rosie replied, "Alright!"

Summer took out drumsticks from the freezer and cast a glance at the living room.

Leonardo turned on the TV, and there came the sound of a cartoon.

With his legs crossed, Leonardo watched TV. Rosie, who sat beside him with her doll, was watching
television attentively.

They were almost in the same position.

Rosie laughed out once in a while, while Leonardo sat immobile and stared at the screen with a straight
face.

Summer smiled and went to the kitchen to cook.

Apart from meat, there were only a few potatoes and dried fungus available at home.

With them, Summer cooked braised drumsticks, sliced pork with fungus, stir-fried potato slices and
shrimps and seaweed soup.

All of them were simple homemade dishes.

When cooking the soup, Summer shouted to Rosie who was in the living room, "It's time to eat. Come
to the kitchen and get your tableware."

Not long after, Summer heard heavy footsteps approaching.

Rosie would always be excited at Summer's words and run to the kitchen.



Obviously, it was Leonardo who came to the kitchen.

Summer paused for a moment and turned around. It was indeed Leonardo walking in.

Without looking at Summer, Leonardo walked straight to the cupboard and took out bowls from inside.

Rosie had a colorful bowl, which was for kids. Leonardo took it out. Then, he took another two small
white bowls.

He probably felt Summer's stare, so he suddenly turned around and looked into Summer's eyes.

In an instant, Summer got embarrassed being stared by Leonardo.

She smiled at him and then turned to look at the boiling seaweed and shrimps soup.

Both seaweed and shrimps needed to be socked in boiling water instead of cooking. After adding salt,
vinegar and shallot, the soup was finished.

Just as she finished it, Leonardo reached out his hand and took the soup.

Summer turned around and saw bowls in his other hand. She said, "Leave it to me...."

Leonardo ignored her, walking out with bowls in one hand and soup in the other.

Since Summer failed to stop him, she served the dishes all by herself.

After placing the soup on the dining table, Leonardo shouted to Rosie, "It's time to eat."

Rosie, who was concentrating on cartoon, failed to hear Leonardo at all.

Leonardo narrowed his eyes, stood up and walked over.

He directly turned off the TV with the remote on the coffee table.



As Rosie was watching TV happily, she was irritated and threw out the doll she carried when Leonardo
turned off the TV. She pointed at Leonardo and shouted out, "Why did you turn off the TV?"

Because of anger, Rosie asked in a sharp voice.

Leonardo ignored her, pointing at the little tiger that she had thrown to the ground, and said in a low
voice, "Pick it up."

With a snort, Rosie wrinkled her nose and refused to do as Leonardo said. Instead, she was about to
turn on the TV with the remote.

It was easy for Leonardo to tell her plan. When she reached out, Leonardo picked her up by the collar,
walking from the sofa towards the dining table.

As soon as Summer served the last dish, she saw this scene.

Once being picked up by Leonardo, Rosie sensed that her father might be angry and didn't dare to talk
back anymore. With her lips twitched, Rosie clenched her fists and dreaded to cry out.

Summer put down the dish and looked at Leonardo, "What's wrong?"

Rosie, who had pursed her lips and tried not to cry, cried out as soon as she saw Summer, "Mom! I
want Mom!"

She sounded extremely miserable.

If she hadn't been present, Summer would suspect Leonardo was mistreating Rosie.

Leonardo put Rosie into the dining chair and said without any expression, "Even if you ask help from
your grandfather today, it's useless."



Stopping for a moment, Rosie raised her head and cried out miserably, "Grandpa! I want Grandpa!"

Leonardo's face clouded over.

This was also the first time she had seen Rosie being so naughty.

Leonardo poured a glass of water and handed it to Rosie, "Drink some water and calm down."

Summer pulled a wry face when she looked at Leonardo.

How could he handle a child like this?

She could hardly watch any longer and tried to hug Rosie, but she was stopped by Leonardo.

Rosie's cry became low. She looked at Summer wrongly and said, "Mom...."

Just as Summer was about to speak, Leonardo gave her a gentle push. He repeated, "Drink the water."

As he said in a serious voice, Rosie trembled and lowered her head to drink water.

She took a swig of water and pushed Leonardo's arm away.

"Are you calm now?" Leonardo put down the cup and asked her.

Rosie reached out to wipe the tears off her face and said with a sob, "Yes."

Leonardo asked again, "Do you want to eat?"

Rosie looked up at him and nodded, "Yes."

Leonardo set her bowl, which was full of rice and a drumstick in front of her.



Rosie picked up her chopsticks and began to eat as Leonardo told. After taking a bite, she sobbed, "It's
hot."

"Then wait a moment and eat when it's getting cold."

Leonardo did not look up at her and continued to serve dinner.

Summer was dumbfounded when she saw Leonardo put a bowl of rice in front of her.

Leonardo did not seem to have noticed what he had done and continued to serve food for
himself.
