Realizing his fault in the matter, James admitted, "I acknowledge what you said. Even though you weren't willing to marry me, I hope that you'll eventually choose to love me willingly." His words made Summer blush, and she responded, "You're being silly. I don't know what you're talking about." Sensing the awkwardness in the air, she cleverly changed the subject. "Weren't we just discussing introducing Kelly to Zach? Are you going to help me or not?" James wore a troubled expression. While he had a good relationship with Zach, he felt uncomfortable about meddling in matters of love. With a hint of warning in her tone, Summer said, "Don't forget your promise to me. You said you would agree to any request I made. "So, it's only fair for me to ask for your help in arranging a blind date between Zach and Kelly. Whether it succeeds or not isn't your concern." Once spoken, the words couldn't be unsaid. That was especially true for someone like James, who was the president of a la

Every day, Summer found herself attending classes and preparing for pregnancy, following Caroline's instructions on how to become a good daughter-in-law of the Quigley family. The training itself wasn't the issue for Summer. What she dreaded were the awkward topics covered, such as learning about pregnancy-friendly foods, which exercises were suitable, and the proper positions to get pregnant more easily. To improve Summer's chances of getting pregnant, Caroline went as far as hiring different instructors to provide lessons, and she also had Luca deliver a variety of supplements and medications for Summer. Over time, Summer grew accustomed to the routine and accepted it as part of her life. However, a smooth-sailing life was bound to be disrupted. On the third day, a guest arrived at the Quigley residence—it was Eleanor. Clad in a white dress, Eleanor exuded elegance and grace as she joined Summer and Caroline for dinner. Caroline, who was seated at the head of the table,

Summer felt reluctant to respond to Eleanor, but since the latter was her teacher, she knew it would be disrespectful not to respond. Therefore, she replied in a cold tone, "Thanks to you, I've been doing quite well." "That's good to hear. But you're aware of the bet between James and me, right?" Eleanor brought up the bet herself. If it hadn't been for Eleanor and James' bet, Summer wouldn't have become a pawn in their game. However, Summer suppressed her anger and calmly replied, "Yes, I know about the bet, and I'm aware of how you and Mom conspired to involve me." "Summer, you're not going to hold a grudge against me for this, are you? After all, the bet benefited everyone." "Is that so?" Summer's face twisted into a disdainful smirk. She couldn't see how the bet had benefited her in any way. Just a few days ago, she'd been in tears for James, who she'd thought had been on the brink of death on the operating table. She'd even feared she might not survive. Such despai

Summer thought she must have misheard. Just a few days ago, Eleanor had set her up as a pawn in the game, and now she was asking Summer for help. "Eleanor, there's no way I'm going to help you," Summer stated firmly. "Don't you want to hear what I need your help with?" Eleanor asked. "No, I don't," Summer replied. She didn't need to hear what Eleanor was going to say; she was already certain it would be a request for help to persuade James. After all, they had made the bet together. As long as James consented, Eleanor could still approach him. However, Summer wasn't that naïve. Even if she had no feelings for James, she didn't want another woman to get close to him. Without much thought, Sumer waved her hand, gesturing for Eleanor to leave. Eleanor wasn't easily fooled. Given that she wanted Summer's help, she'd come with a plan in mind. "Summer, I know you've been searching for a match for Kelly. I heard that Zach is a potential candidate. Is that correct?" Summe

Moreover, while abolishing the bet might not have been ideal, Summer reasoned that if Eleanor was keen on meeting James, it ultimately relied on James agreeing to it. If James didn't agree, then Eleanor wouldn't have a chance to meet him, no matter what. So, the conditions of the bet made earlier seemed more like a formality. It didn't really matter whether they existed or not in the end. "Okay, I agree." Summer finally agreed after some thought. Eleanor had already anticipated this outcome. She shook hands with Summer, indicating their mutual agreement. As per their agreement, regardless of whether Kelly and Zach clicked during their week-long date, Summer would be obliged to help Eleanor persuade James to forget the bet. However, one thing that intrigued Summer was how Eleanor intended to assist her. From what she knew, Zach wasn't the type to be easily manipulated. When Summer asked about Eleanor's plan to persuade Zach, Eleanor didn't hesitate to reveal her method.

After taking a few deep breaths, Kelly's mind cleared, but she still had some doubts. "Summie, even if the person you want to introduce me to is Zach, I'm afraid he won't be interested in me." Kelly knew about Zach, who hailed from one of the four major prestigious families and was the president of Myers Enterprise. His influence could rival that of the Quigley family. Such a man stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid. Under normal circumstances, countless women would be vying for his attention. Despite Kelly's beauty and respectable family background, she knew she was nowhere near Zach's level. It wasn't that she lacked confidence, but she simply couldn't envision someone like Zach being interested in her. "Summie, I think I'll pass on this one. Zach probably won't be into me." "Why would you say that?" Summer was puzzled. She'd always known Kelly to be a confident woman. It was unusual for the latter to decline an opportunity like this. In truth, it wasn't that Kelly
The President's Darling Chapter 319
After Summer's encouragement, Kelly started feeling a bit more confident. "So, marrying Zach would bring me happiness, right? It does sound appealing, but… I'm still afraid." Summer couldn't help but feel frustrated. Kelly had always talked about her desire to marry into a prestigious family. Now that the opportunity was within reach, she seemed to find endless excuses. Summer couldn't quite grasp what Kelly truly wanted. "My dear Kelly, why are you being silly? What exactly are you afraid of? In the worst-case scenario, the blind date won't work out, and you'll be back to being single. There's really nothing to fear." "I know." "Well, if you know, then there's truly nothing to be afraid of. Besides, I'll be right there with you," Summer asserted firmly. At this moment, Kelly seemed like a helpless boat adrift at sea, and Summer needed to be her safe harbor, supporting her. After Summer's persistent persuasion, Kelly, who had been hesitant for a while, finally agreed.

Once Summer settled into her seat, Zach, who was seated across from her, asked, "Do you like coffee?" "Yes, it's fine," Summer replied. Zach nodded slightly and snapped his fingers. A beautiful woman in a white apron approached from the café's front desk. It was Yolanda Lane, the owner of the café. It was clear she was well-acquainted with Zach. "Mr. Myers, your secretary mentioned you'd be coming here today and reserved the entire place. Is it for a date?" Yolanda asked. Zach quickly clarified, "No, she's not my girlfriend." "Really? This young lady is quite pretty. Well, if she's not your girlfriend, when are you going to find one?" Yolanda teased him. Despite the jest, Zach showed no signs of annoyance. Instead, a faint smile played on his lips, as if he were chatting with an old friend. Surprised, Summer observed their exchange. Zach's demeanor toward her and others seemed vastly different. He seemed to be generally friendly toward others. This indicated that he
