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.

"Does he love me?" Summer mumbled. She became ecstatic. It was a lovely feeling to be liked by someone else, especially since that person was James. Before, she had kept guessing what his feelings toward her were. However, after hearing Howe's words, Summer believed that there was a high chance that James liked her. Then, Howe said, "Summer, you must put in more effort. Although I know you don't really like him, I still believe that you'll fall for him sooner or later."Howe seemed to approve of Summer and James. That was a good thing. Even though Summer didn't love James, she felt like she could continue living with the Quigleys at the moment. Apart from Caroline, the other family members approved of her. The courtyard seemed dark and gloomy. At the same time, on the second level of the house, a room was filled with light. A handsome figure crouched over his desk, hard at work. James worked from early morning to night. So long as he was still clear-headed, he would keep w

James exuded a cold air and smelled fresh. He swiftly held Summer's thin waist. The sudden action stunned her.After a while, Summer started struggling in James' arms, but she didn't expect him to be so strong. She couldn't break free of him. "What are you doing?" the woman asked hurriedly. "What do you think?""How would I know what you're doing? Let go of me!" Summer struggled with all her might, but James clung to her tightly. Naturally, she couldn't overpower the man in front of her. The atmosphere turned awkward. The distance between the two was so close that they could almost feel each other's heartbeat. Then, James suddenly leaned in. Was he going to kiss her?Once the thought crossed her mind, Summer inhaled sharply. Initially, she wanted to fight back, but then she realized it might be a good opportunity to improve their relationship.After all, she hadn't been able to accept him all this time. Perhaps they would grow closer to one another by kissing and doing

James lowered his head to look at her. "What's your question?""I wanted to know if you…"Initially, Summer thought that she could finally ask James her question. However, they were interrupted again.Luca knocked on their room door and said, "Mr. Quigley and Mrs. Quigley, I've brought something for you two."Summer didn't know what Luca wanted to give them, so she opened the door to let him inside. Then, she saw two bowls of chicken soup in Luca's hands. He said it was for nourishing the body and that James and Summer had to drink it. So, after the couple drank it, Luca said, "Please rest early, Mrs. Quigley and Mr. Quigley. Madam Caroline and Mr. Norman want me to tell you that they hope a grandchild will be born into the family soon."Summer was irritated at the mention of children again. After nodding in reply, she immediately made Luca leave. Then, James and Summer were left alone in the room again. The place was quiet. A glass lamp bathed the area in a soft glow. Their

Both of them stared at each other awkwardly. After exhaling deeply, Summer said, "I don't care. You have to answer my question. What do you think of me? Do you like me?""If you won't answer me, I won't answer your question either."That man! For the first time, Summer thought that James was too stubborn. Didn't he know how she felt about him? So, she said, "I don't like you. Is this enough? Tell me now. Do you like me?""Since you don't like me, I can't answer your question," James replied. He turned around and kept quiet. It seemed that he wanted to hide his true feelings until the day Summer told him that she liked him. After that, Summer scoffed coldly and dove into bed. Since he was unwilling to reply, she didn't need to press him for answers either. She pulled the sheets over her head and decided to let the matter rest. However, she was overwhelmed by many emotions. Though she felt that James liked her, he hadn't admitted his feelings. She urgently wanted to find

Caroline had found out their secret. As expected, a perfunctory reply wouldn't be able to trick her. Every morning after James left, she would enter the room and observe it. Then, she had noticed that the couch looked like it had been slept on. Since then, she had started to have her suspicions.Hence, she had sneaked into the couple's room to check if they were sleeping together. There was sufficient evidence to prove that the couple wasn't sleeping next to each other. Caroline crossed her arms. Though she loved James, she didn't let him off this time. James wanted to continue talking, but Summer stopped him. Even though she knew he meant well, explaining the situation wasn't the solution. Instead, it would harm the relationship between him and Caroline. So, Summer spoke up instead. "Mom, we were in the wrong."If she hadn't apologized, Caroline might have punished her severely. However, the latter cooled off a bit since Summer had apologized. But James and Summer could

He looked calm and peaceful, like a lake. The moonlight illuminated his cold face.He always had the same expression, no matter the occasion. It made Summer wonder if James experienced the same feelings she did. Did he feel anxious or nervous?She carefully said, "Hey James, are you asleep?"She still didn't get an answer after a long while. It seemed like he was really asleep. But he shouldn't have fallen asleep this fast, right? Hadn't it been just 10 minutes?Summer gave it some thought. He had been grinding at work. He would probably fall asleep within minutes of getting into bed, right?She decided to go to sleep too. At this moment, James, who had been silent, said, "What's up?"Summer was startled at his sudden reply. She looked over to realize that he was staring at her. Below his defined eyebrows, his black orbs were deep.Summer thought her soul was being sucked into his eyes. This was the first time she had looked at James up close. He was absolutely enchanting.Th

James was the last to wake up, and he was oblivious to how they were entangled with each other just now. Now that he figured things out, he explained, "Sorry, I didn't mean it.""I-I know you didn't mean it," Summer replied in a low voice. Despite her words, she still felt awkward. They were acting like a man and a woman who had done the deed in medieval times.But she had to understand something. They were legally married. So what if they really did something? Summer shook her head and decided to forget all about what just happened.She tried to get out of bed, but she didn't expect it to be so soft. She lost her footing and fell on the bed. Unfortunately, she fell toward James.He caught her in his arms. They locked gazes as an inexplicable look flitted across their eyes. Awkwardness filled the air between them.Summer scrambled to get out of James' embrace when she felt the weird sensation. This caused her to fall once more.Fortunately, she fell on the bed and not the har
