1 #####Chapter 543: You Can't Even Protect Your Own Woman

2 However, Summer did not listen to Tim. She directly rushed to the conference room.
3 The room was full of people, discussing business.
4 Summer's sudden action attracted everyone's attention.
The room was filled with serious vibe, then it became so quiet that one could hear a pin
5
drop.
6 Everyone turned to look at Summer. Some of them didn't know her at all.
When Leonardo heard the sound, he was a little impatient, but when he saw that it was
7
Summer, his eyes flashed. He then stood up and walked towards Summer.
Summer did not say anything and directly went to Leonardo's office. Leonardo followed her
8
with casual attitude.
9 Tim stayed and helped to clean up.
10 "Sorry everyone, the meeting is suspended."
11 Someone asked Tim, "Assistant Tim, who was her?"
People who didn't know Summer were all the old timers of the Emerson Group. Some of the
12
young people knew Summer.
Before Tim spoke, someone replied first, "She seems to be the ex-wife of the president. She
13
appeared on the news a while ago..."
14 Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and didn't say anything else.
After exiting the room, Tim walked to Leonardo's office and stood there for a moment. Then
15
he shook his head and left.
16 ...
17 Summer and Leonardo were at the office, and Leonardo sat down on the sofa.
Seeing Summer still standing there, Leonardo pointed to the seat beside him, "Sit down
18
first."
Summer did not listen to him. She only sneered and said coldly, "You knew it wasn't Stanley
19
last night."
She directly mentioned Stanley. Leonardo knew that she was talking about their visit to
20
Stanley's house last night.
21 "That's right. Last night, I know the man who served us was not Stanley himself."
22 Leonardo admitted so frankly without any guilt.
Summer clenched her teeth, "Leonardo, are you happy as long as something happens to
23 Stanley? Let me tell you, if that happens, I will blame myself and remember him forever. He
saved me. He was the one who took care of me when I lay in bed for three years!"
Summer's words had somehow provoked Leonardo. His loose look disappeared and His
24
eyes had grown ice-cold.
25 In the next moment, he stood up and growled, "Enough!"
26 Out of fear, Summer trembled slightly.
27 She clenched her fists, raising her head, showing no sign of yielding.
Leonardo seemed to be furious. Even his chest was heaving violently, and his voice
28
unconsciously became louder.
"Summer, I don't need you to remind me time and time again. When you were lying in bed,
29
it was someone else who took care of you, and I..."
 He paused for a moment, and pain flashed through his eyes. Being suppressed by countless
30 emotions, he could hardly breathe. He took a deep breath and continued in a lower pitch,
"And I am at the the Emerson family, being my young master."
31 Summer was stunned, and she couldn't react for a while.
32 The office also fell into a deathly silence.
After a while, Summer moved her lips and found her voice. Her tone was no longer as cold
33
as before. Instead, she sighed, "I don't blame you."
34 "But I blame myself!" Leonardo gazed at her firmly.
Even when he was emotional like this, he still controlled his expression well, making people
35
impossible to see what he was thinking.
36 Summer did not expect that Leonardo took it to heart.
When she left Stanley and first met Leonardo, Leonardo had no memory of her. He only had
37
a good impression of her.
At that time, even though Leonardo knew that Summer had been lying in bed for three years
38
and almost couldn't wake up, he didn't feel much for that.
Afterwards, when his memories were confused, his attitude towards Summer was even
39
worse.
40 Until later, he remembered something...
Life was full of accidents, and Summer had never blamed Leonardo, so she didn't think that
41
Leonardo would blame himself.
So, that's the reason that Leonardo didn't tell Summer when he brought back memories of
42
their time together, right?
After recovering half of his memories, Leonardo had feelings for her, so he would be sad
43
and self-blame when he knew what happened to Summer.
This kind of emotion had suppressed for so long, and it had changed into a terrible sense of
44
blame.
45 Stanley did what Leonardo should have done.
Leonardo had never felt that there was romantic involvement between Summer and Stanley.
46 He was just unable to face the fact that he was not by her side when Summer needed him
the most.
Every time he heard Summer mention Stanley, and every time Summer went to look for
47
Stanley, Leonardo would always remind himself of how failed he was.
48 He could not even protect his own woman.
49 Every time he thought of these, he felt his heart bleed.
He was a man who wasn't good at expressing himself. As long as he didn't tell anyone, no
50
one would be able to guess what he thought.
51 "Leonardo..." Summer called him, but she didn't know what to say.
52 The powerful man clenched his fists. His cool face was filled with self-mockery and pity.
Leonardo stood straight, but he was like an underdog, losing his usual sharpness and
53
confidence. He was now a lost child.
54 Summer felt helpless and painful.
55 A bit sorrow soared her heart.
56 She took steps forward, stretching out her hand to touch him.
 However, just as her hand was about to touch Leonardo, Leonardo took a step back and
57
avoided her.
58 Summer raised her head and looked at him.
Leonardo pulled up the corner of his lips and revealed an extremely deep smile. His eyes
59
curved.
He was a handsome man, but rarely smiled. Even if he smiled, it was just a flash in the pan.
60
Summer liked to see his smile actually.
61 Leonardo always hid his grief and joy and allowed no one to peep.
62 But now, his smile made Summer feel bad.
