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

"Of course. I'm the chairman of Charter Corporation, after all. Why can't I continue working? I took care of Charter Corporation back when you got married, didn't I?" Fred patted his chest firmly, looking quite confident.Summer also believed that her father would be able to manage the company well if she left it in his care.Fred was the founder of Charter Corporation, after all. He had worked on it for decades, and he was the person who knew it the best. If he was the one taking over, Summer definitely had no reason to worry.However, Fred had already retired, so he should be relaxing at home at his age. Summer felt a little bad if he was suddenly asked to manage the company again.James comforted Summer, saying, "Summie, why don't you let him help you? Of all the people in Charter Corporation, he must be the person who's the most invested in the company other than you.""That's right." Fred smiled confidently. "How can I not care about my own company? Don't worry, Summer. Just

They were having a meal right now, so where was Fred going? Summer asked in confusion, "Dad, where are you going?"When Summer asked the question, Fred had already left the living room. He seemed to be on his way back to his room.Amelia explained, "He's preparing a gift for you.""Preparing a gift? What gift?"Soon, the gift Amelia mentioned was brought over to them.Fred was carrying a large cardboard box, which he processed to place on the table. He retrieved children's toys, baby clothes, and a jigsaw puzzle from the box.Summer was speechless when she saw that. So this was the sort of gift Amelia was talking about. But why would Fred give her these things out of the blue?Holding the clothes, Fred explained gleefully, "Several months ago, Amelia and I were shopping when we came across some baby products. We were wondering when you'd have children, and we feared that you wouldn't be able to buy all the baby products you would need, so we bought some ahead of time."Summer s

Nearby, James faked a cough as if there was another matter at hand. Noticing something off with his expression, Summer thought that he choked on something, so she asked, "Would you like some water?""No, thanks… Summie, did you forget why we came here in the first place?"Thanks to James' reminder, Summer finally remembered that she wasn't here for a simple visit. She had to tell her parents the good news of her pregnancy.At that moment, Amelia and Fred were leisurely enjoying the food. Summer knew that if they heard the news, they might get overwhelmed with emotion, so she decided to give them a heads-up. "Dad, Mom, we actually came here to tell you an important piece of news. Maybe you can stop eating for now.""What's the matter?" Fred asked curiously."Well… This is a very serious matter. Before I break the news, I'd like you to be as calm as possible. Please don't get too worked up."When Amelia and Fred heard that, they exchanged glances. They had no idea what exactly Summ

For example, Summer and James were taking a walk in the park. They might look like they were alone, but in reality, more than a dozen bodyguards were hiding in bushes and various corners of the park. To protect the child, the Quigleys pulled out all the stops to ensure Summer's safety."Alright, I get it." Summer chose to compromise. She was living a wonderful life at the Quigley residence, after all, so she felt like she shouldn't ask for too much.Also, as Caroline had said, Summer would regain freedom once she gave birth to the child. Summer would be able to live her happy life with James then, and Caroline wouldn't be around to nag her about the child.The next morning, the Quigleys arranged for a luxurious limousine to send Summer and James to the Charter Estate. Amelia and Fred already knew that their daughter would be coming over, so they were waiting at the entrance. When they saw their dear daughter, elated expressions appeared on their faces."Summer, you're back! We've p

Hence, Summer could do whatever she pleased. If Caroline dared to restrict her freedom, Summer would be upset, and Caroline wouldn't want that.As Summer walked along the even path of the park, she did some stretches to loosen up. "It's a nice life. Before this, I was worried that something bad might happen if I returned to the Quigley residence, but now, it looks like I was overthinking it. Caroline is very good to me, and the others respect me too.""I'm glad to hear that. I was also worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to staying in the Quigley residence. You're pregnant, after all." James glanced at Summer's belly, his eyes filled with fatherly love and tenderness. By the looks of it, he had intended to be a father a long time ago."Hold your horses. I've only been pregnant for three weeks. They say that the baby will be born after ten months of pregnancy, and it's not even been a month yet, let alone ten." With that, Summer suddenly held James' hand and guided it tow

What would it mean to Howe if he gave up on the position of the head of the family? It meant that he would have to depend on someone else to survive, and he would be giving up on glory and riches along with a life filled with extravagance.Thanks to his wealthy background, Howe was already used to life like this. If James became the head of the family in the future, he might exercise his authority as the head of the family to limit Howe's movements. Howe would be stripped of freedom.Maeve felt that Howe was right as well. Her current life of luxury was built upon mountains of cash. If Howe didn't get to be the head of the family, he would definitely face restrictions."Howe, I want you to be the head of the family as well, but do you really have confidence in your capabilities? Your brother is so outstanding, and he's the official heir, too."Maeve hit the nail on the head. This was exactly what Howe was worried about as well. There was a world of difference between him and James,

So, when Caroline asked her to stay in the Quigley residence, Summer somewhat reluctantly agreed.At noon the next day, dark clouds filled the sky, making it look bleak. However, in the bustling Rosseera City, things were as lively as usual.In a luxury hotel situated in the city center, Howe was sitting on a chair, holding a glass of wine in one hand while his other arm was wrapped around the waist of a beautiful woman. At that moment, his expression was as gloomy as the weather.The young woman was good at reading the room. Extending her fingers, she traced circles on Howe's pink shirt. She asked, "What's the matter, Howe? You seem to be in a bad mood today. Could there be anyone in Rosseera City who's bold enough to offend you?""Hmph…" Howe didn't say a word. Instead, he downed the whole glass of wine.Noticing that he wasn't saying anything, the young woman pursed her lips and planted a kiss on his cheek. Smiling, she asked, "What's going on? Are you going to say that women w

James didn't want to agree to this arrangement. Even though it wasn't explicitly mentioned, he was fully aware that Summer didn't want to stay at the Quigley residence. Hence, he said, "I'll take care of Summer, Mom. I even hired Tina to look after her needs. You know how dependable Tina is. With her around, everything will be fine.""Nonsense. Even if Tina was there, there's only so much she can do on her own. This Quigley grandchild is extremely important. I can't just let her handle everything by herself.""That won't be an issue, Mom. Besides, Summer won't feel comfortable staying here either." Summer's feelings were James' top priority. Caroline could see this as well. In the end, the decision was Summer's to make. So, instead of addressing James, she turned to Summer and asked, "Would you like to stay at the Quigley residence, Summie?"If it were up to Summer, she'd say no. There was no way she would want to stay here out of her own free will. Just the mere sight of Caroli

Howe was the quietest person at the table. He was dressed in a shirt with floral patterns, and his hair was slightly curly. He was as still as a rock. He had a look of terror on his face for a while now—he didn't know that Summer was pregnant.Now that his parents were talking about it, he immediately asked, "Pregnant? Is Summer pregnant?""Yes, she is—haven't you heard?" Caroline replied. "No… How is she suddenly pregnant? I didn't hear anything about it until now." "I only found out recently as well." Caroline's hand moved over her mouth before she continued, "Isn't it great? You're going to be an uncle soon.""Yeah. I can't wait." Howe put on a forced smile.Everyone in the family was overjoyed by the news—except Howe Quigley. The Quigleys had a family rule. If the heir had a child, his position as the head of the family would be set in stone.So, if James welcomed a baby, Howe would lose the opportunity to take his place as the family heir. By that logic, he would never be
