The President's Darling Chapter 25
Summer had no confidence in this sudden marriage at all. She trusted nobody—the memory of her trauma still lingered.Sighing, she placed the photo frame back on the nightstand. While she was wallowing in the uncertainty of her future, she did not notice that she was also in the photograph, right behind James.Feeling bored, Summer decided to clean up the apartment. Just as she had expected, James did not return home for lunch, so she made a quick meal out of the ingredients available in the fridge and then went out for a walk. However, the two bodyguards who were assigned to her kept following her around, so she cut the walk short and went back to her room.She spent the rest of the afternoon reading books. When dinner time approached, she went out to get some groceries as she expected James to return for dinner.She didn't think much of making dinner for him. It was just cooking, after all, and her cooking was pretty good if she could say so herself.Unbeknownst to her, her bodyg

"You guys must be tired. I forgot to make lunch for you just now. Come and try some of my cooking," Summer said as she placed two bowls in front of the bodyguards.Charlie and Connor stared at her like she was an angel descended from the heavens."Thank you, Madam," they stammered as they took the bowls. They swore silently that they would protect Summer with their lives."No need to thank me. In fact, I should thank you for protecting me, which is why I cooked you dinner," Summer said. "Now, don't stand out here while you eat. Come on in!"She felt sorry for them. It wasn't easy standing guard all day with nothing to do. She couldn't bear seeing them eating outside the apartment, so she urged them to take a break indoors. However, she did not know that the bodyguards were rotated by shift or that they lived in the apartment next to hers by James' design to keep her safe at all times."It's alright, Madam, we wouldn't dare impose on you," Charlie said hastily when Connor gave hi

James was happy to see Summer's smile. He was finally living his dream of having a sweet domestic life with her. He felt as if he could burst with happiness as he watched Summer finish setting up the table. He went up to her and hugged her from behind.Surprised by the sudden warmth, Summer tensed. James noticed her discomfort. He buried his face in her neck and said softly, "Relax, Summer, don't be scared. I know you still see me as a stranger. That's alright, I can give you time to get to know me. I am confident that you will fall in love with me. I just want to tell you that I'm very happy that you're with me right now."Summer was surprised to hear that. She'd never expected James to be so nice to her, and she didn't understand why. However, James seemed sincere in his affections. She couldn't ignore the warm feeling that it gave her. Her nervousness dissipated."Thank you, James. I'll try my best to get used to this. Just give me some time."Dinner was a peaceful affair. T

It was a dark and silent night. The only sound in the study was the clacking of the keyboard. James continued to work, but his mind was filled with Summer's smiles and laughter.Meanwhile, out in the living room, Summer was curled up on the sofa watching TV, but her attention wasn't on the TV at all. She was thinking about what James had said to her earlier. It made her unsettled.When James finished up his work and prepared to go to bed at midnight, he heard the sound of the TV from the living room. He crept into the living room and found that Summer had fallen asleep on the sofa. Chuckling quietly to himself, he turned off the TV and picked her up carefully.Summer didn't wake up. She just curled deeper into his arms. Affection blossomed in James' heart.He brought her to her bedroom and placed her on the bed without turning on the lights. In the darkness, he stood beside her bed and stared at her sleeping face. After a while, he placed a kiss on her forehead and bid her a silent

Summer teared up when she heard what Amelia said over the phone.No one loved her more than her parents."Don't worry, Mom, I'm doing fine here. James is very good to me. The worst thing that's happened to me is that I get a little bored," she said."It's Dad now, Summie," Fred said on the other end of the call. "Your mother is right, if you don't like it there, you can always come home."Summer was silent as she tried her best to hold back her tears. Even though she was far from home, she could still feel her parents' concern for her."Summie, it's not that we're not concerned about you or how you ended up marrying James. We're very worried about you, you know?" Fred continued. "That little bastard, Hank, teamed up with Simone to bring us down. None of us are happy about this, but you took it especially hard. We were hoping that you would get over it quickly, but that didn't happen, did it?"James spoke to us before you came home that day, actually. Did you know that he asked us

Summer didn't want to imagine the rumors and speculations flying around outside as the elevator doors slid closed. Everyone was definitely shocked. The gossip mill would have a field day about her."Isn't that Charlie, Mr. Quigley's bodyguard?""I know who he is. I'm more interested in who that woman is. Did you see her going into the president's elevator?""Shit, do you think the rumors are true?"All of the discussions were centered on Summer.Even though Summer had already expected this, she still couldn't help but feel anxious. Her hands were trembling as she clutched at the lunch box she was holding. It didn't take long for the elevator to reach its destination. When she exited the elevator, it was as if she'd emerged into another world.There was only black and white here. Black suits, white shirts, exquisite makeup, and sleek black heels. She noticed that some of the women here were barely older than her, yet they were dressed smartly and spoke decisively. They were professiona

While it would be natural for ordinary people to wait for James outside, it was a completely different case for his wife. Natalie hesitated before saying, "Mr. Quigley is having a rather lengthy meeting. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a long time if you don't inform him of your arrival, Mrs. Quigley.""It doesn't matter. I'll just wait outside." Summer pursed her lips slightly and patiently waited. After all, she was the esteemed young madam of the Quigley family, and it was only right for a wife to wait for her husband. Summer felt the need to present herself well; at the very least, she shouldn't embarrass James.However, the wait lasted for half an hour. Although Summer remained composed, her patience began to wear away. Charlie, who was standing on the side, noticed this and suggested, "Madam, the building of Quigley Group is huge. Why don't I take you on a tour?""A tour?""Yes, you are the president's wife. Although you aren't involved in the company's internal
The President's Darling Chapter 32
Despite being aware that James was an excellent man, Summer didn't expect that all the female employees in the company were so enamored of him. It made her feel a little displeased. It seemed that in the future, Summer would have to spend more effort driving away these admirers.But suppose James actually treated Summer as a mere decoration; would she mind if he sought other women outside? Even she couldn't say for sure. After all, the two of them weren't close and had no deep connection.While lost in her thoughts, a startled voice pulled Summer back to reality."Who are you?" It was the woman with dyed blonde hair questioning her. She scrutinized Summer with a pair of wary eyes as though Summer was a criminal.Summer panicked for a moment. She shook her head and explained, "I … I came to see Mr. Quigley and happened to pass by.""Pass by?" The blonde woman's eyes were full of distrust. Then, she said, "I think you must like Mr. Quigley, so you sneaked into the company to see
