Chapter 10 Use Her As A Springboard

Book:CEO's Substitute Wife Published:2024-5-1

The next day.
Summer was woken by the ringing of the mobile phone.
To act like a bumpkin, while everyone around her uses smart phones with beautiful appearance and full functions, she still uses the old machine which can only make phone calls and send messages.
She took her cell phone and looked at the notes, and she immediately came to her senses.
She hesitated for a moment before she picked up the phone, “Dad.”
Lynn Jarrett’s voice was as serious as always, “You went home yesterday? Who sent you back? ”
As a father’s phone-call to a newly married daughter, what he asked was such an irrelevant question, Summer just felt bitterly disappointed.
Usually, Lynn Jarrett rarely calls her. Seeing him suddenly called to ask about that, Summer couldn’t help but suspect his true purpose.
But she still told the truth: “it’s Leonardo’s cousin.”
Lynn Jarrett pondered for a moment at the other side of the phone, and then he said, “When you have time, take your sister to the Emerson house and introduce her to some suitable young people there, so that she can make more friends.”
Summer suddenly understood the meaning of what he said.
After she left Jarrett’s villa yesterday, “Douglas” and Vicky Jarrett might have met…
And it’s most likely Vicky took a fancy to “Douglas”, so she wanted her to set her up with him.
Those father and daughter’s schemes are perfect.
Leonardo apparently made an engagement with Vicky Jarrett, but in the end, it was she who married him.
Then, they will use her as a springboard and find Vicky another excellent man to be her husband in the Emerson family.
Everyone in Hoover city knows, that except Leonardo, all the cousins of his in the Emerson family are outstanding and among the best.
A trace of self-deprecation appeared in Summer’s eyes. Vicky is indeed Lynn’s biological daughter, but somehow she’s not?
How could he be so unfair?
Summer endured her grievances, tried to keep calm in her voice, “Wouldn’t I like to take my sister to Emerson house? but until now I haven’t seen the Leonardo yet.”
When Lynn heard that she didn’t even see Leonardo’s face, he suddenly became angry.
“You didn’t even see your husband? That’s useless. And you still dare to go home?”
Summer tried to keep tears in her eyes while her nose twitched, her voice was the same as usual, “If you send my sister to Emerson house at first, maybe Leonardo would like to see her! I’m a fake, why would he want to see me?”
Leonardo, who came out of the bathroom, just heard that.
She was sitting on the bed, with the thick, black hair like seaweed hanging down to her waist. Her fingers were holding the mobile phone too hard that he could see the protruding blue blood vessels. Like water, her eyes were full of tears, which did not flow out because of stubbornness. The delicate figure of hers looked pitiful.
Leonardo narrowed his black eyes, he found that the new wife of his more and more pleasing.
No one knows what the person at the other end of the phone just said, Summer’s face turned pale. She didn’t speak and didn’t hang up either.
Leonardo went straight over, grabbed the phone in her hand, and hung up directly.
Huh, this woman actually still uses this kind of cell phone.
Then, he looked down at Summer, with almost no emotion in his indifferent voice, “if you don’t want to hear those words, just stop listening to it.”
Summer raised her head in a hurry, with the tears in her eyes, she could not even see his face, only to feel a blur in front of her.
But strangely, she heard a hint of soothing in his words.
But the next moment, she widened her eyes sharply, “why am I in bed?”
She gave up the bed to the injured man, instead, she slept on the sofa last night!
“You sleepwalked on your own.” Leonardo said. without expression, walked to the bed, and lay down beside her.
