The President's Darling Chapter 287
Three bodyguards struggled to restrain Lexi, while the last bodyguard carried Summer out as if he were carrying a kitten.Summer was filled with fear. She hadn't misheard Caroline. The latter had said that she was going to be taken to the dark room.Summer knew about the dark room. She heard that it was a room specially built for punishing people. In the past, Howe and James had been locked in there when they had done something wrong. It was pitch-black inside the room, with no food or water, and the space was extremely narrow. Summer had never been inside, but just hearing about it made her tremble with fear."No, I don't want to go there." Summer struggled, but it was useless. In the Quigley residence, Caroline's words were absolute, and no one could disobey her.The bodyguards were like robots, devoid of any sympathy. They forcibly took Summer to a room at the end of the corridor on the first floor. As she slowly approached the dark room, Summer's fear grew and overwhelmed

Summer was afraid that she might end up in such a situation. Although she was calm at that moment, being locked in a dark room for a long period of time could cause her to collapse mentally.Damn it! Summer cursed inwardly. She hadn't asked Caroline how long she had to be locked up in there. One or two hours would be no big deal, but if it were a few days, it would be a death sentence!What was she supposed to do if she needed to use the toilet? There was no restroom there. Did she have to urinate or defecate in this room?Countless worries filled her mind, like garbage piling up. Now, the garbage had filled up and was overflowing."James, when will you come back?" Her only hope was James. If he came back and found out she was locked up, he would definitely figure out a way to save her.Summer firmly believed in that. That millennia-old iceberg would definitely come to her rescue!Time passed by slowly. In the small, confined, dark room, there was no concept of time. Every se

As Summer hummed her song, she pictured a lush grassland. She imagined running in the green forest, with birds flying high and chirping in the sky, and a small deer galloping among the trees. Everything seemed natural and beautiful.But even singing could get tiring. Summer had been out shopping for the whole day, and now she was facing this torture at night. Her last bit of energy was depleted, and she finally collapsed. Her eyes, which had been hard to close, finally shut, and she fell asleep. The world became truly quiet.Time ticked by. The hour hand on the ancient clock completed one round. When Summer regained consciousness, she found herself in bed.It was a familiar bed. When she opened her eyes, everything was no longer unfamiliar.The furniture, the painting on the wall, and even the man—they were all familiar. Summer looked at James, who was sitting on the office chair in front of the bed, working. He was so focused that he didn't notice that she had woken up.Gla

Moreover, the more time they spent together, the more Summer gradually found herself depending on James.Although she sometimes appeared to be strong, deep down, she was still a fragile woman. In the process of getting to know James, she had slowly found the sense of security she had been longing for. It felt like every time she faced danger, as long as she called out James' name, he would be there."James, don't blame yourself. You've actually done very well. At least, I don't regret marrying you," Summer said sincerely. Hearing this made James calm down a lot. He gently rested his head against Summer's forehead, and their shadows leaned against each other under the light.In truth, Summer hadn't fully accepted James, but she was grateful for his presence. Just like she'd said, she didn't regret marrying him. He gave her everything she needed and pampered her like a princess. Since she'd met a man like him, she had nothing to complain about.Time stood still as the two hugge

Summer asked, "What's it about? Is it related to me?""Of course, it is definitely related to you," Lexi replied. Then, she started telling Summer everything.It turned out that James had had to work late until 3:00 am the night before. Upon his return, he'd heard about Summer being locked up in the dark room. He had immediately taken his bodyguards to break down the door to rescue her. The key was with Caroline, so James had to forcefully kick the door open. Lexi had been present at the time and witnessed the entire scene.As Lexi described the incident, she exclaimed, "At that moment, Mr. Quigley was so cool. After kicking the door open, he completely ignored Luca's attempts to stop him and went straight to carry you out. "You were sleeping soundly at that time, so you might not have noticed, but Mr. Quigley was really cool!"Lexi had become James' fan and praised his coolness countless times. Summer also thought that she would have also praised his bravery if she'd seen it

Summer was extremely worried. She couldn't fathom how to face Caroline after being locked up in the dark room.To Summer's surprise, when she finally arrived at the dining room, she noticed that Caroline wasn't alone. There was another beautiful woman with her. It was Eleanor!Eleanor waved and greeted her. Summer felt both happy and surprised to see Eleanor. She felt glad to have someone else present. It meant that she didn't have to face Caroline alone, which lessened her fear. However, she was surprised as to why Eleanor was there.Without much hesitation, she went over and said, "Eleanor, good afternoon.""Summer, good afternoon. Sorry for suddenly visiting you and joining you for lunch today," Eleanor replied."Oh, you're welcome," Summer said while taking a glance at Caroline, who was sitting in the main seat.Caroline looked the same as usual. She was dressed in an exquisite long dress. Her face looked pale and stiff. It seemed that she wasn't in a good mood. She g

After the initial greetings, Summer began to eat her meal obediently. Caroline and Eleanor started chatting. They talked about topics that sounded very "high-class", such as contemporary literary masters, artistic calligraphy, and classical musicals. Anyway, they were all things that Summer found boring.As they finished their meal and prepared for their lessons, Caroline solemnly advised Summer to learn from Eleanor diligently. She warned that if it weren't for James' sake, she would have punished Summer by locking her up in the dark room again. Essentially, what Caroline meant was that if Summer caused any trouble again, she would end up in the dark room once more. Summer thought that Caroline just enjoyed threatening and tormenting people. She felt helpless about it but had no choice but to nod in compliance. She hoped that nothing would happen.In the afternoon, in a quaint hall of the Quigley residence, there was a redwood table and two embroidered wooden chairs. After

"Really? I think so too." Summer chuckled. She had thought embroidery was difficult, but she hadn't expected to do it easily. As she held the newly embroidered little red flower, she looked at it satisfactorily, wondering whether she should show it to James when he came back.But then, Eleanor spoke up again. "Summer, don't you want Aunt Caroline to be more satisfied? She will be looking at your work. Although this red flower you embroidered is beautiful, Aunt Caroline will definitely not be satisfied."Summer knew how picky Caroline was. She was the type of person who had very high demands and wanted everything to be perfect. She knew that she wouldn't be able to satisfy Caroline, no matter what she did. Even if she really embroidered the pattern she requested, Caroline could still find flaws."Eleanor, thank you for your kindness, but let's call it a day. Having this red flower work should be enough to pass." Summer wasn't a greedy person. As long as she could shut Carolin
