Chapter 105: Continuing This Farce
At this time, Summer was extremely shocked.
She walked over to the young man and asked him with a serious expression, "What is your relationship with the Emerson
family?"
"Relatives." The young man had an indifferent expression on his face, and then added with great vigilance, "But I'm not close to
them, and I don't have any money!"
This brat lived in her house without permission, but now he was the one who was on guard. Was it because he was afraid that
she would kidnap him and ask the Emerson family for money?
"Are you really called Douglas Emerson?" Summer quietly asked, "How many people in your family are called Douglas
Emerson?"
"Why are you asking this?" The vigilance in the young man's eyes was even deeper, but because of his young age, his immature
appearance did not seem to be a deterrent.
Although she did not know how this child entered her room and lived in it, she could tell that he was not a child who could be
easily fooled.
He spoke with a foreign accent. It was clear that he should have lived abroad for a long time.
There were all sorts of signs that he might have run away from home!
Summer curled her lips and smiled, saying, "Did you run away from home? I bet you aren't used to living in this kind of place.
Should I ask your family to pick you up?"
He glared at her and immediately became anxious, shouting, "No way! I paid great efforts to come out."
Her guess was correct.
"You know that there is a crime called trespassing, right?" Summer smiled and said.
Little Douglas's expression changed when he heard this, and there was a trace of panic his eyes. He said loudly, "I am the only
one in our family called Douglas!"
He lived abroad most of the time, and occasionally came home for vacations. He was unfamiliar with this country, so he was a
little afraid of Summer's threat.
When Summer heard his words, she was somewhat dumbfounded.
If there was only one Douglas in the Emerson family, then who was that Douglas in home now?
She stared at Little Douglas in front of her for a while. Little Douglas was scared, and he said, "What's wrong with you?"
Just as Summer was about to speak, a sudden sound interrupted Summer's thought.
Little Douglas looked at her awkwardly, and then pretended to be fierce and said loudly, "What are you looking at? Have you
never heard a hungry stomach shout?"
Those two persons called "Douglas" had the same bad temper!
...
In the restaurant, Summer watched Little Douglas eat up three bowls of beef noodles.
The place where she rented the house was a slum in Hoover City, so there weren't any decent restaurants nearby. But there
were a lot of small diners.
Little Douglas disliked this kind of diner at the beginning. But perhaps he was too hungry, he still followed her in.
After sitting down and tasting it, his eyes lit up.
To thank Summer for this meal, he almost answered every question she asked.
"I used to live in Australia. I wanted to be a professional e-sports player. My mother wouldn't agree and she didn't give me
money. So, I ran away to scare her. You can't tell them that I'm here. Otherwise, they'll take me back."
"Playing games? Aren't you supposed to study hard at your age?"
Little Douglas corrected her, "That is a profession! E-sports! This is my dream!"
Summer threw a damper over him, saying, "But you are only fourteen years old."
Although she didn't know much about the e-sports industry, she knew that if Little Douglas really wanted to do this, he would
need to be an adult at least.
Little Douglas snorted and raised his chin with his arms crossed, appearing extremely arrogant.
Summer almost laughed. She felt that this child was quite funny.
Summer's fingers knocked twice on the dining table, and she casually asked, "Do you know Leonardo?"
"My cousin. Isn't he very famous here?" After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. He said in a weird
tone, "Although he is rich and good-looking, he is already married. You have no chance."
Summer noticed the keyword "good-looking".
The anecdotal Leonardo was said to be disfigured, so how could he be so good-looking?
Seeing Summer's suspicious expression, Little Douglas turned panic, saying, "You forgot what I said just now!"
His family told him not to talk about his cousin with outsiders.
However, he had just accidentally said it! But this woman looked not so clever. It should be fine, right?
Summer did not have the mood to pay attention to Little Douglas's expression.
The things that had puzzled her after she married into the Emerson family could all be reasonably explained.
"Douglas" had never appeared with Leonardo at the same time.
"Douglas" lived in the master bedroom.
Tim often stayed with him.
That time in the dining room, when Tim saw her fall into Douglas's embrace, he was just surprised for a moment before he
retreated.
The black card and that expensive car...
"Douglas" unscrupulously teased her again and again...
He was able to freely enter and exit Leonardo's villa, and he is not Douglas, Leonardo's cousin, then he could only be Leonardo
himself!
This thought shocked Summer so much that she couldn't regain her senses for a long time.
She couldn't sit still any longer. She got up and ran out.
When Little Douglas saw that she was leaving, he hurriedly got up and followed, saying, "Where are you going? You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Summer's figure had already disappeared.
He rubbed his full belly contentedly and scratched his little curly hair, muttering to himself, "At least lend me some money before
leaving..."
...
Summer directly took a taxi back to the villa.
She rushed in aggressively, caught a bodyguard and asked, "Is Douglas here?"
The bodyguard stuttered, "He is ... not here."
Summer went to the study and the bedroom. Indeed, there was no "Douglas."
Leonardo was "ugly and inhumane". This was something that everyone in the Hoover City knew. And due to Vicky, Summer
marry into the Emerson family in order to avoid the engagement.
Summer naturally believed that Leonardo was an "ugly and inhumane" man and did not doubt the truth of the rumors.
That was why when he saw "Douglas", she never thought that he might be Leonardo himself!
She prejudiced that Leonardo was not a healthy person. Even though she felt that he was suspicious for the past three months,
she had never thought about it.
Until she met Little Douglas, she finally learned the truth. Although the child looked strange, but he did not seem to be lying.
She had gradually calmed down and was no longer in a hurry to confront "Douglas".
She wanted to confirm that if "Douglas" was Leonardo. If he was...
Then she would carry on with this farce.
