Predestined Bride

Jessica spent the next few days peacefully.

No one sent messages to her or called her.

The number that had reached her wasn’t valid. Jessica tried several times to call it but failed. She stopped calling.

Everything was settled down. It was so calm to make her felt that something was not normal.

Another strange thing was that she couldn’t get in touch with Summer. She could occasionally see Leonardo’s Moments of WeChat. He posted Summer’s photos on it.

In the past, Leonardo didn’t post on his Moments.

He might be influenced by Summer. Or, people who lived happily would like to share his life with others.

Leonardo’s Moments were all about Rosie and Summer.

If he hadn’t posted Summer’s photo, she would have suspected that they were colluding to deceive her.

It was a good thing for Summer to go on vacation and relax. Although Jessica was curious about what had happened at that time, she did not want to disturb Summer.

She didn’t bother Summer by asking her about the affair.

Apart from Summer, Rosie was together with them at that time.

She was just a child…

Moreover, she had had unfortunate experiences. If something happened at that time, Rosie would remember it. If she asked Rosie again, it would probably hurt her.

…

It was another day to pick Rosie up from school.

Jessica had fully prepared to join the crew. She was in a semi-off state. Therefore, she was idle.

Almost every day, she went to pick Rosie up from school.

The day was Friday. She would like to take Rosie to her home and go out to play together on the weekend.

Before she went out, Jessica called Tim to tell him her idea.

“You should ask Rosie about this. Let’s see what she will say. She can do it if she wants to.” Tim was a father. He knew to respect the child’s wills.

Tim was clear about the relationship between Jessica and Summer. He had nothing to worry about Rosie staying with Jessica. As long as Rosie was willing, he would not object.

“Alright.”

After communicating with Tim, Jessica took a car to pick up Rosie.

Rosie rushed towards Jessica.

“Auntie Jessica.”

She was like a bird rushing out of its cage.

“This is for you.” Rosie handed a small handmade flower to Jessica.

“You made it yourself?” Jessica asked.

Rosie nodded. Jessica couldn’t help but reach out to touch her head, “Thank you. Let’s go.”

They got in the car. Jessica told the driver, “To the Golden Cauldron Club.”

A few days ago, she took Rosie to another restaurant. That day, she would take her to Golden Cauldron Club to have dinner.

Rosie had no objection to her arrangements.

“It is so heavy.” Jessica weighed Rosie’s schoolbag with her arm.

“There are books inside.” As Rosie spoke, she opened the bag and showed it to Jessica.

Jessica looked inside and found that there were quite a few books inside.

“Why did you take so many books? Have you finished reading them?”

“Yes, I lent these books to my classmates. They returned to me today.”

“Let’s go to buy a few more.”

At the moment, the car happened to pass by a bookstore.

The car stopped. Jessica got off and found that this bookstore was the one near the Golden Cauldron Club.

How coincidental!

“Let’s go.” Jessica walked forward and reached out to hold Rosie’s hand, but she found that Rosie was not following her.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She turned around and saw Rosie grabbing her clothes with her hands. She whispered, “It doesn’t matter if we don’t buy books. There are some at home.”

Jessica smiled and said, “We have been here. Let’s go.”
