Predestined Bride

Summer said softly, “To go out with Jessica. I don’t want to disturb your drinking.”

Leonardo frowned and opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Summer in a soft voice, “Alright, I know. I’ll be careful. I won’t run around, and I’ll be back soon.”

Summer had known Leonardo so well. She knew what he was going to say, so she just finished the sentence for him, leaving him speechless.

Leonardo was indeed speechless.

He could only smile, “Be a good girl.”

Jessica left the room with Summer and Rosie.

After walking around the Golden Cauldron Club, Summer suddenly remembered that she hadn’t bought the picture book she promised Rosie.

Rosie was very sharp. When she heard that Summer and Jessica were talking about it, she ran over and pulled Summer’s hand, “Mom, I saw a bookstore on our way here. It’s not far.”

She pointed outside as she said that.

“Alright!” Jessica petted Rosie’s head and said, “Then let’s go over there and take a look.”

The bookstore that Rosie said was indeed not far from the Golden Cauldron Club. It only took them seven or eight minutes to walk there.

The bookstore is not big. On the shelf, there were mostly children’s books.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

As soon as they entered, they could feel that the decoration here was very classy with the stylish furniture which was all imported.

It was impossible to make money by opening such a bookstore in the downtown area of Hoover City. This shopkeeper must be wealthy.

The store was not big, but it was carefully decorated. In the middle of the day, there were few customers. The shopkeeper sat behind the cashier and looked up drawlingly. “Welcome,” he said.

The children’s books were surprisingly comprehensive in such a small shop. Summer soon found the book that Rosie wanted. She picked another two and was about to pay the bill and leave.

Rosie carried her book and walked in front of them happily. Jessica and Summer followed.

“Mom!”

Suddenly, Rosie screamed from outside.

Jessica was stunned but then reacted quickly. She lifted her foot and ran out, “I’ll go take a look. Summer, you stay here!”

Summer was pregnant, so Jessica couldn’t let anything happen to her.

As soon as Jessica walked outside, she saw that a man wearing a cap and a mask held Rosie captive with a dagger. Her little face went pale, but she did not cry.

However, it seemed that Rosie couldn’t hold it any longer when she saw Jessica. She was about to cry, but she forcefully held back her tears.

“Rosie, don’t be afraid!” Jessica told herself to calm down and comforted Rosie in a soft voice.

Then, she looked at the person who kidnapped Rosie and asked calmly, “Who are you? What do you want?”

The man nodded his chin for Jessica to go over.

Jessica walked over. Then the man directly threw Rosie away and pulled Jessica over. He pressed the dagger on her neck and brought her into a car.

He had come prepared.

They didn’t notice that there was a car parking at the door on their way here.

Jessica quickly calmed down and thought about how to buy some time. But the man did not give her any chance at all by directly knocking her down.

It all happened too fast.

Summer immediately called Leonardo. When she chased outside, she could only watch the car driving away.

“Mom!” Rosie was frightened and immediately threw herself into Summer’s arms.
