It seemed that Yolanda had deceived her. Summer was certain about that because there was other evidence to prove it apart from the information Eleanor had given her. Zach had called James to arrange for the blind date on his own earlier on. If Zach really feared dating, he wouldn't have taken the initiative. So, Summer was so certain that Yolanda had tricked her. But why would she deceive Summer? The only answer was that she liked Zach. Yolanda had lied because she didn't want to see him date anyone else.As a woman, Summer could guess what Yolanda must be thinking. After all, who would be willing to see the man she loved go on a date with someone else? "I got it. Eleanor, let's end the conversation here. I still have something else to do." Since Summer had gotten a better grasp of the situation, she left. This made Eleanor so angry that she stomped her foot. "What does Summer see me as? How can she order me around like that?"…Soon, night fell. Stars glittered in the sky.
"That's normal because your memory is bad. But I think this outfit lacks something." Summer tapped her lips contemplatively. She felt that something was missing from Kelly's outfit compared to those ladies from wealthy families. Finally, she realized that Kelly needed a necklace. "Do you have any necklaces, Kelly?""Of course, but my necklace…" Kelly walked toward her dresser and opened it. There were many necklaces inside, but most of them were made from gold. If she wore them, it would look very tacky. Of course, she also had some silver jewelry, but it didn't look very elegant and wouldn't match her outfit. Summer complained, "I saw many luxurious clothes in your closet. Why don't you have that many necklaces?""I don't have enough money," Kelly replied breezily.Summer didn't know how to respond to that. Yet, that was the truth. Kelly lacked money. If she'd had enough money, she would've filled up her drawers with many diamond necklaces. What were they supposed to do n
Kelly held Summer's hand and spoke confidently. Upon seeing that, Summer felt that her efforts had not been a waste. Kelly and Zach were supposed to meet at Carlson Restaurant, which was located in a wealthy district of Rosseera City. It had been awarded the five-star Miclair Award and was very magnificent. It was a great honor to eat there for the average person. Summer took Kelly there, while James took Zach over. The four of them sat down at the table.The restaurant was dim. There were luxurious chairs and vintage chandeliers around the area. Moreover, a band was playing relaxing music in a corner of the restaurant. Once the four people sat down, a foreign waiter asked them what they would like to eat in perfect local language.James didn't ask the others what they wanted. He simply ordered a few dishes in Fravian. Later, Summer realized that he hadn't just ordered a small number of dishes. Instead, he'd ordered hundreds of them. The dishes came in sets, and one set had a
Then, everyone looked at Zach. However, he didn't speak.The place was extremely silent, apart from the tune playing on the cello. It was awkward. James was right. The heirs could talk about any topic. However, if they weren't willing to speak up, they wouldn't do so, even if a topic was interesting to them. Since Zach had forced himself to come there, he definitely wouldn't cooperate.Summer was certain that he wouldn't speak. However, ten seconds later, he suddenly spoke up. "Ms. Williams, isn't it boring to talk about the stock market? Do you like traveling?" Zach had a gentle smile on his face while he spoke. His eyes were bright.Summer thought that she had seen that wrongly. Why was he so gentle with Kelly? Was there hope?Though she didn't know what Zach was thinking, Summer immediately motioned for Kelly to continue the conversation. Of course, Kelly was quick-witted. She nodded. "I like traveling, and I've been to many places in the country. I'm preparing to fly ov
"How would you know that? Are you just spouting nonsense?" Summer disagreed with James. It was just a blind date, so if Zach hadn't liked Kelly, he would have expressed it. Moreover, wealthy people had high standards. If he didn't like Kelly, why would the man chat with her so enthusiastically?Yet, Summer didn't know Zach well. But James was Zach's friend, so he knew the latter well. He explained, "Zach is different from us. He has always behaved gently toward those he doesn't like. He won't hurt others." Then, James paused for a while before adding, "Summie, think about it. If Zach didn't like Kelly, would you want him to tell Kelly his opinion directly? If you were Kelly, you would be upset by that."Summer thought for a while and realized that was true. If Zach had behaved very coldly toward Kelly and remained silent, it would have been very upsetting. After thinking about it, Summer stopped smiling and grew anxious. She asked suspiciously, "James, is what you said true
James reminded Summer, "You have to understand that the Myers family won't stop their heirs from dating whoever they want, but they'll restrict their freedom to marry."That meant that it didn't matter who Zach dated. But if he wanted to marry someone, he would have to get the approval of his elders first. After Summer heard that, she lamented that the heirs of the four major prestigious families were truly pitiful; they couldn't even choose who they married.However, this also meant that Felicia's relationship with Zach must have faced some difficulties because of their difference in status. Zach had dated Felicia with the intention of marriage. At first, the latter had also dated him with that intention. However, as time passed, the Myers family had given her a lot of trouble. She had left because she couldn't take it anymore. Actually, her family was pretty well off, too. As the daughter of a wealthy family, Felicia had no reason to put up with the Myers family if they mad
Summer had used to eat here with some of her friends when she'd been in high school.She was extremely happy to be back there. She found the old food stall she had used to frequent and grabbed James and herself a table. She said, "Mr. Brooks, I'll have one spaghetti aglio e olio and one chicken casserole, please.""Coming right up," answered Tom Brooks, the stall owner. Soon, the food was served. Tom said enthusiastically, "Summie, it's been a long time since I saw you, so I made you an extra large spaghetti aglio e olio tonight."Tom was a generous person. He had been running the food stall for a decade.Summer knew him quite well because she was a frequent customer. He was very happy to see her again, so he made an extra large portion for her supper. There was a huge pile of spaghetti aglio e olio on the plate.Summer had never eaten such a large portion of spaghetti aglio e olio. She wondered if she could finish it, but she still thanked Tom.Tom was about to leave when he
Summer didn't want to cause a commotion. Tom would probably be shocked if she admitted that James Quigley from Quigley Group was her husband."Mr. Brooks, you've got the wrong person. My husband just looks like James Quigley. How could he possibly be that guy?""But your husband really resembles James Quigley. It's like they're twins!" Tom looked closely at James again, his eyes boring holes into him.James felt uncomfortable when Tom gawked at him as if he were an animal in the zoo. Why should he let Tom look at him like that?He was about to say something when Summer said, "Mr. Brooks, you've really got it wrong. How would I ever marry the president of Quigley Group? You must be kidding me, right?" She laughed dryly.Tom found Summer's self-depreciating comment logical. Although she had a wealthy family, her family was worlds apart from the Quigley family. Besides, Summer had sworn that her husband only looked similar to James. Tom believed it."Sorry, Summie. My eyes are get
