The President's Darling Chapter 132
As Summer continued interacting with James, she grew afraid of his true motives. She feared that he was pretending to like her and only taking advantage of her to trick his parents. In fact, Summer was scared that James was using her to stop the rumors that accused him of being aloof. If that was his true reason for being with her, Summer wouldn't be able to accept it. After all, she had started to like and care for him. She felt very lost and conflicted.It seemed that she had to spend more time to discover James' true motives. Soon, it became nighttime. Summer dragged her tired body to bed. All was silent in the Quigley residence. The house was too big, so barely any noise was heard outside. The room was pitch-black, apart from the light from the stars.Summer thought that James would probably be working at that time. She felt that he was an unapproachable person who seemed to have no other interests except work. Soon, she fell asleep. She forgot about what Caroline had

After that, Caroline urged the couple to hurry up. Then, James and Summer hastily got onto the bed and switched off the lights. The room became dark. All was silent in the room. James and Summer were the only ones left there. Summer's breathing quickened, and her heartbeat became rapid. She was unable to fall asleep. Since she was young, she had never shared a bed with a man before. In fact, she hadn't even slept next to her ex-boyfriend, Hank, before. However, she was going to sleep next to James that day. Meanwhile, James seemed to notice her anxiety. He said coldly, "Are you feeling awkward now?""Of course. Aren't you awkward?""No."Summer didn't expect James to react that way. Yet she realized that he probably looked forward to sleeping beside her in the first place. So, she turned her back to him. "How can I sleep in peace? Anyway, I can't fall asleep like this.""Is it because of me?""Yes! How can I fall asleep in this awkward atmosphere?"Just then, she felt t

After shaking her head, Summer hurriedly returned to her bed and fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, she saw warm sunlight shining into the room. However, James was gone. Summer wondered where he had gone. Once she walked out of the room, Summer saw Lexi. She asked the latter where James had gone.Lexi told her that James had rushed out of the house early in the morning to work. As expected, he was working again. That man seemed to work every minute of the day. On the other hand, Summer couldn't slack off. She began studying again. She studied hard during the next nine days. While she lived in the Quigley residence, Summer endured Caroline's criticisms. Every day after classes, she dragged her weary body home. Gradually, she became used to it. On the tenth night after that, Norman returned to the Quigley residence.He had a sturdy figure, was dressed in a tuxedo, and had a square jaw. Though he seemed intimidating, he had an affectionate smile. Evidently, Norman b

Summer thought that Norman would be a stern middle-aged man since he managed to establish Quigley Group by himself. However, he was different from what she had expected. She felt that James and Norman weren't similar at all. Instead, Howe behaved more like Norman. After chatting briefly with Norman, Summer gradually realized something about him. He wasn't as critical as Caroline and was very friendly.Yet, she had become smarter after marrying James. As such, she knew that things weren't as simple as they appeared to be. For example, when Summer first met Caroline, the latter treated her very well. However, after marrying James, Caroline's attitude took a turn for the worse. Though Norman looked friendly, it wasn't certain if he was as good-natured as he seemed. The family entered the dining area. The atmosphere was lovely, and everyone looked as if they were on good terms with one another. Meanwhile, the housekeepers had already prepared the food according to Caroline's

Blood, sweat, and tears were necessary for success. Since the Quigley family was the most powerful out of the four major prestigious families, all of them were under a lot of stress despite their great wealth.Summer also suffered a lot of pressure because she just married into the family. As such, she had to undergo a lot of training. Yet she was able to withstand any difficulties in her way. Still, Summer didn't know how to solve the problem of bearing children. It was the biggest headache for the Quigleys. Norman had already hinted at having grandchildren, even though he had only chatted briefly with Summer. "James and Summie, when am I going to have a grandchild from both of you?"After hearing that, the couple felt a little awkward. It seemed that they could not avoid the issue. James was unwilling to answer, so he pretended not to hear the question and continued eating. However, the issue couldn't be ignored. Since James was too aloof and didn't speak, Summer had to r

However, Summer didn't want to have children at the moment. Still, she chose to reply politely, "We will do our best. Though James is busy working now, we'll set aside some time to do it."Her reply tactfully placed all the responsibility on James. Since he was a magnanimous person, Summer believed he wouldn't blame her for that. Yet, once James heard that, he started coughing uncontrollably. He glanced at Summer, unable to speak. Meanwhile, Howe interrupted the conversation. "Summer, don't say it like that. I'm sure you won't be able to have children within the next few years."He had exposed her true intentions immediately. As such, Summer tensed up and didn't know what to say. In the meantime, Norman and Caroline hurriedly asked why Howe was so certain that the other party wouldn't be able to have children soon. Howe answered, "That's easy. Summer still addresses James formally. From that, it's obvious what their relationship is like, right?"His words were too blunt. S

"Tell me the truth between you and James. What do you think of him? Don't lie to me.""Well…" Summer was unwilling to tell him the truth. After all, though she was married to James, they hadn't consummated their marriage yet. This was a secret between the two of them. Norman was very intimidating, so she didn't know how to lie to him. But he didn't look like a bad guy. She wondered if she should be honest with him.After that, Summer told Norman everything. "Actually, I'm not close to James.""Do you like him?""I don't know.""You don't know?" Norman was flabbergasted by the reply. He wondered how she wouldn't know whether she liked someone. However, Summer didn't seem to be lying. So, he asked, "Do you like how you feel whenever you spend time with James?""How am I supposed to feel?" Summer was confused. Wasn't it easy to tell if you liked someone? If someone liked another person, they would want to be with them, no matter how they felt. Norman had experienced fa

Besides, Summer was wary of Howe. Though he was always cheerful, her intuition told her that he was dangerous. He appeared to be lying in wait for her. However, she still agreed to chat with him. The two of them headed to the courtyard. It was more of a park than a courtyard. There was grass on the ground, and lights illuminated the place. Though it was nighttime, the beautiful lamps in the courtyard made the place as bright as day. Summer walked gently on the soft grass patch. Gradually, her anxiety disappeared. "Well… What do I call you? Howe?" Summer asked awkwardly. Her hands were placed behind her back. "Summer, please call me whatever you want. You don't have to be nervous in front of me. I don't have anything important to tell you. I just wanted to chat with you."Howe sensed Summer's worry, so he assured her. Yet she remained anxious because Howe had a mysterious look on his face. When they had been having dinner, he had exposed her for not being close to James.
