Chapter 565 He Is Hiding Something from Her

"Summer."

Leonardo called out her name with emphasis. Clearly, he was unhappy at her inquiry.

Summer held his hand to stop him from struggling. Then Leonardo directly lowered his head and
kissed her on the lips, fudging the answer, "What I do right now is also important."

Summer immediately released him and pushed him away, covering herself with the quilt.

Leonardo was aroused by Summer, but he didn't force her since she didn't want it. He took off his
clothes and lay on the bed, hugging her across the quilt.

Although the heat was on, the room was still cold. Summer didn't want Leonardo to catch a cold, so
she shared the quilt with him. Then Leonardo pulled her into his arms.

The room quieted down, but Summer couldn't fall asleep.

She tried to turn over, only to find herself unable to move with Leonardo's arms encircling her waist.

"Can't sleep?" Leonardo's deep voice sounded in her ears.

Summer didn't answer but just put her hand on the back of his hand.

"Since you can't sleep, let's settle the score."

"What?"

"You were so carefree these days that you already forgot how you came here?" Though Leonardo's
tone was as gentle as usual, Summer felt uneasy.



She knew she couldn't avoid it since Leonardo brought it up. Back then, she secretly bought a ticket to
M Country when Leonardo wasn't at home. She told him this news only before boarding.

Now she felt very guilty as she thought about it.

She held Leonardo's hand, worrying that he would lose his temper.

Leonardo continued, "Our wedding is delayed. Summer, how are you going to make up for it?"

Summer already felt guilty, and now she thought she went too far after hearing Leonardo's complaint.

She asked, "What do you want?"

After a moment of silence, Leonardo said, "How about you spend some time with me in M Country?"

Summer was slightly surprised. She did not expect him to make such a simple request.

Seeing that Summer didn't answer, Leonardo held her more tightly and said in a threatening tone,
"What? Is your answer No?"

"No, I'm okay with it." Although Summer really missed Rosie, she knew she had to placate Leonardo
first.

Summer agreed to stay with Leonardo in M Country for a few days. After recovering in the villa for two
days, Leonardo took her out to have fun.

In the following days, they went out in the morning and came back at night.

They didn't bring Tim or any bodyguards with them.

Actually, Tim seemed to be busy these days. Most of the time, he was still out when Summer already
went back after dinner.



Gradually, Summer became suspicious.

One day, she asked during breakfast with Leonardo, "What is Tim busy with these days? He always left
early and came home late. If I didn't know him, I would have suspected that he was having an affair."

As she was joking, Tim happened to came back and heard her remarks.

"My wife asked me to buy some cosmetics for her. I'm a stranger to cosmetics, so I went to the make-
up counter to buy them...." Tim said awkwardly. This explanation was quite credible.

When Jessica went abroad on business before, she had helped Tim buy some skin-care products for
his wife.

Summer couldn't imagine that a rigid and serious person like Tim would go to the make-up counter to
buy cosmetics for his wife.

"You can ask me for help. Anyway, I'm hanging out with Leonardo these days," Summer said sincerely,
but Tim didn't dare to do that.

He shook his head and refused, "It's more sincere if I buy it for her."

In the next few days, Summer and Leonardo still left early and came home at dusk.

A week had passed, but Leonardo had no intention of returning to the Hoover City. Summer made a
chance to ask tentatively, "Shouldn't we go back?"

Leonardo said casually, "Let's stay for a few more days."

In the past few days, Summer only went shopping and climbed mountains with Leonardo.

She didn't find it fun, nor did she feel that Leonardo really enjoyed it.



She had a faint feeling that he wasn't into the trip in M Country. He made such a request just because
he didn't want her to go back to Hoover City.

Once this thought bubbled up, it grew crazily in her mind.

She began to pay attention to Leonardo's words and behaviors. Besides, she kept an eye on the time
when Tim returned and the frequency with which he talked to Leonardo.

She found that Tim would bring a set of cosmetics back every day. It looked like he was really out to
buy cosmetics for his wife.

As Leonardo's right-hand man, Tim was more capable than ordinary people.

Although he knew nothing about cosmetics, he could search the address of the cosmetics counter
online and buy cosmetics according to his wife's requirement. This way, he could get it done very
quickly. However, he had been busying with it these past few days. His behavior was so abnormal that
Summer was suspicious.

She thought he was probably doing something for Leonardo under the pretext of buying cosmetics for
his wife. And the reason why Leonardo took her out every day was that he didn't want her to know what
Tim was doing.

They must be hiding something from her, something big.

Since Leonardo had to hide it from her, it suggested that it wasn't good news.

He never mentioned it, so Summer couldn't ask him directly. If she asked, Leonardo would for sure
make up an excuse to fool her. He could see through her little game easily.



Summer suddenly remembered that day when she followed Leonardo downstairs. He went to the
basement to see Vicky in anger after Tim said something to him.

These days, Summer didn't ask Leonardo about Vicky, because he said he would handle it.

Summer was tricked by Vicky this time, and Leonardo came to save her. Thus, he had the right to stop
her from interfering in Vicky's affairs.

But now that the thing that Leonardo was hiding seemed to have something to do with Vicky.

Summer sized things up in her mind and waited for an opportunity.

The next morning.

Just like a few days ago, Leonardo was going to take Summer out.

When they left the villa and got in the car, Summer flipped through her bag and frowned, "I left my
lipstick in the room."

After searching in vain for the lipstick, she said to Leonardo, "Wait for a moment. I'll go get my lipstick."

Leonardo did not doubt her, "OK."

Summer put on a sweet smile, "I'll be back soon."
