James' gentle voice came through the phone. "Summie?""James, did you drink the soup?" Summer asked."Yeah, I did," James responded."Why did you drink it? I thought you didn't like soup?" Summer voiced her confusion. Based on her assumptions, there was no need for Susanne and Luca to lie to her. This meant that James shouldn't like soup. Yet his response was different from what they said. Therefore, Summer could only think of one explanation—James was lying and claiming to like the soup when he didn't.James remained calm and emotionless. At the moment Summer asked, he replied, "I don't hate soup."But Summer couldn't accept such an ambiguous answer. What did he mean he didn't hate soup? There should only be one definite answer. Either he liked it or not.Summer persisted. "James, if you don't like it, you don't have to force yourself to drink it. The others told me that you've never liked drinking soup since you were young, right?""Yes," James replied."Then, why did you

Snapping back to reality, Summer quickly explained, "What? How am I happy? Don't talk nonsense.""I'm not talking nonsense. Mrs. Quigley, you look very happy, like you're in love!" Lexi replied.In love? Summer was stunned. She shook her head continuously. She had fallen in love before, so she knew what falling in love felt like. The feelings she had for James were definitely not love. Their marriage wasn't based on emotions; it was just a transaction.Summer let out a deep breath and retorted coldly, "Well, you're mistaken. Lexi, I won't fall in love with James.""Mrs. Quigley, are you still not going to admit it? As an observer, I can see the situation better than you. "Although you seemed like you didn't have feelings for Mr. Quigley at the start, I've noticed that your marriage is gradually becoming fulfilling now," Lexi replied."Stop this nonsense!" Summer said, seemingly angry. Her face was flushed red. Why was she so worked up? She was anxiously denying it because

The bouquet was very beautiful. It appeared extraordinary from afar, but it revealed even more wonders up close.Summer felt regretful. How come all these individuals from prestigious families seemed capable of everything? Susanne, in front of her, was a prime example. It seemed that the news she had seen before had all been fake.The news always depicted the young generations from wealthy families as arrogant, incompetent, and lazy, and they often used their parents' wealth to cause trouble. However, after joining the Quigley family, Summer found that reality wasn't quite the case. For example, although James was a typical rich man's son, he not only worked diligently but also possessed remarkable abilities and intelligence.Even Susanne was the same. She was skilled in yoga, flower arrangement, dance, and more. These skills were likely just the tip of the iceberg. Who knew what other skills Susanne possessed?Seeing how outstanding these people were, Summer felt a bit pressur

Summer didn't think that she needed to improve. She just wanted to live a simple life in the Quigley residence. As long as she endured for another half a month, she would move out of there with James. Then, she would have the freedom to do as she pleased. Therefore, it didn't matter if she knew how to do flower arrangements well or not."Susanne, let's not trouble Mom. We can handle this ourselves." Summer chuckled as she negotiated. She was determined not to let Caroline see how today's flower arrangement class went. She wanted to avoid giving Caroline an excuse to scold her.However, Susanne had different intentions. She didn't comment on Summer's work for a long time because she wanted to show it to Caroline. Now, seeing how Summer was unwilling to submit her work, Susanne had no choice but to present it herself.She picked up Summer's vase and left without even looking back.Upon seeing that, Summer was taken aback. She asked, "What's wrong? Where are you going, Susanne
The President's Darling Chapter 239
However, Summer didn't argue. After suffering from Caroline's punishment last time, she was afraid. She respected Caroline much more now and dared not to act recklessly again. Summer thought that it was best to just endure it since she was going to bid farewell to this devil mom soon.Caroline didn't know what Summer was thinking. She glanced at her and said, "Forget it. I have no expectations of you. Just help this family by bearing a child. I will take you to the hospital in a few days to see if you're pregnant."The primary reason Caroline allowed Summer to marry James was because she hoped Summer could bear a child for the Quigleys. Therefore, it didn't matter if Summer couldn't match up with James' looks and wealth. The most important thing was that she had to be able to bear children.Upon hearing Caroline mention pregnancy, both Susanne and Summer were shocked and exclaimed in unison, "Pregnant?"The news was a bit devastating for both women. Susanne's goal was to brea

Susanne asked, "If you don't work with me, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle Aunt Caroline's scrutiny.""I'm afraid that if I work with you, I'll die faster." Summer revealed her true feelings. She had never trusted Susanne. Even during the flower arrangement class earlier, Susanne had revealed her true motive when she deliberately tried to humiliate Summer.How could Summer trust Susanne if they were to work together?Susanne also knew that it wouldn't be easy to gain Summer's trust. So, she proposed another idea. "Summer, I can tell you a secret. I'll exchange this secret for your trust.""Secret? What secret?" Summer was suddenly curious."It's about me and Howe," Susanne replied."About Howe?" Now, Summer was genuinely interested. She had long felt that the relationship between Howe and Susanne wasn't simple. During their last breakfast together, he had looked at Susanne with a fearful expression, like a rat seeing a cat.So, there was something behind it. Summer sa

When one of the stray dogs had noticed Howe and Susanne, it had bared its canines and leaped over to them after letting out several loud barks. They had been in an extremely dangerous situation. When Howe saw that, he had immediately turned to run away out of fear. But Susanne had tugged at a corner of his shirt and sobbed, "Howe, I'm scared!""Let go! I'm scared too! I'm terrified!" Howe had been so scared that he had wrenched Susanne's hand off his shirt without further contemplation. However, she'd had a vise-like grip on his shirt, so Howe had had no choice but to push her away to free himself.Susanne had stumbled and fallen into the mud. It had given Howe the perfect opportunity to escape, so he had fled without so much as a backward glance. Susanne's cries had echoed through the woods as the stray dog had lunged at her. It looked rabid and had a bloody stench. The look in its eyes had been feral, and its fur had been a matted mess. So when Susanne had seen it, sh

"They did nothing about it. After the incident, Howe came and begged me not to tell anyone about it, so it became our secret. "Dad and Aunt Caroline had thought that everything was just an accident, so they didn't chastise us too much about it," Susanne answered.So that was Susanne and Howe's secret. Now that she learned about this secret, Summer understood why Howe couldn't wait for Susanne to leave. Susanne's presence in the Quigley residence probably made him very uncomfortable. No wonder he wanted her to leave as soon as possible. "Alright. I understand the full picture now." Summer nodded satisfactorily. "Can you trust me now?" Susanne quickly asked. "Of course not," Summer responded flatly. What Susanne had just told her wasn't much of a secret. She had intended to use the so-called secret to gain Summer's trust, but what she'd told Summer couldn't be used against her. Even if the secret was exposed, it would pose no harm to her at all. Instead, it would do more
