Not only that, there was something else special that had been added to the coffee. Summer continued smelling the coffee. She discovered that there was brandy and chocolate sauce added to it. The ingredients blended together in an interesting way. Apart from that, there was latte art on the surface of the coffee too. The design consisted of stars and hearts. It was a delight to look at. It was enough to cheer one up just by looking at it. Summer closed her eyes. She tasted the coffee slowly. It was a miraculous blend of the bitterness of the coffee and the other ingredients. The ingredients harmonized together like an ensemble of instruments performing a beautiful piece of music. Summer felt relaxed and pleased. "Wonderful," she remarked. She put her cup down and asked, "Have you had this cup of coffee before, Yola?""I haven't." "You should try it. I hope you won't mind that I've already taken a sip." Summer pushed the cup toward Yolanda. Without any hesitation, Yoland
Two opposing thoughts were messing with Summer's head. It made her head hurt badly. In the end, she decided not to think about it at all. She settled down to rest. When she got back to the Quigley residence, she realized that James was back too. He was wearing a white shirt. She noticed that he was writing something. When she went over to take a look, she saw that he was writing invitation cards. The invites were for an annual year-end party that the Quigley Group was hosting soon. He was writing letters to invite some company leaders to attend the party. This made Summer feel annoyed. She had asked James to test the waters with Zach. She wanted to know what Zach thought about dating Kelly. Yet, he was here, preparing invitations. "Hey, James. Have you spoken with Zach?" "About?" James turned around to look at Summer. He had a confused look on his face. He looked to be oblivious. "Have you forgotten about what I asked you to do? Didn't I ask you to see how Zach is doing?"
James told Summer not to worry about such things. Lately, Caroline had been pressuring them a lot. If Summer had all this time, she might as well use it to think about how to pass Caroline's tests.With James' reminder, Summer recalled that Caroline had once again mentioned taking her for a pregnancy check-up. It had already been a month since the last check-up.Thinking of Caroline's questions gave Summer a headache. But she decided she would talk about the pregnancy later. At that moment, she wanted to address the issue of Yolanda and Zach, so she asked for James' help. "Can you take me to talk to Zach?""Why do you need me to take you?" asked James, puzzled. "You can go find him yourself.""No. If I look for him, he won't meet me. He's even more hostile toward me now because of you."Zach always felt that Summer would ruin James' bright future. Hence, he was hostile and would definitely not agree to meet her.James also understood that. So, he said, "Okay, I'll send him a me
Zach was filled with disdain when he heard Summer's words. He could find his own happiness without Summer meddling in his affairs. At first, he wanted to give her some time to see what she wanted to discuss, but it turned out that she had come to lecture him.With a wave of his hand, Zach ordered her to go. "Leave. I don't want to talk to you."Summer obviously wouldn't leave before achieving her purpose of coming that day. So, before Zach urged her, she asked, "Do you know that Yola likes you?"This sentence was like a torpedo; it wreaked havoc in Zach's heart and caused giant waves, turning his world upside down. He couldn't wrap his head around Summer's words and retorted, "That's impossible. Yola and I are just friends.""You see her as a friend, but does she see you as a friend?""What do you mean?""What do I mean? Are you stupid? Don't you know when someone likes you?" Summer couldn't help but sneer, wondering how Zach could be so dense. He had made a woman wait for
Zach asked, "What do you want to bet?"Summer answered, "I bet that Yola will confess her feelings to you within the next few days. If I lose, I'll divorce James. "If I win, you have to tell me your true feelings—who you like and what you want. You also have to agree to an additional request."A bet was an agreement. Once made, the rules must be adhered to. Summer didn't like to make bets as she saw it as a matter of luck. However, the bet between Eleanor and James had given her an idea, so she wanted to bet with Zach this time.After hearing the terms of the bet, Zach readily agreed, thinking that he would definitely win. He didn't believe for a second that Yolanda would confess her feelings to him. Besides, if he won, James and Summer would get divorced, which would be very worthwhile."Alright, Summer. I agree to your bet. The loser must abide by the terms of the bet.""Okay."As they made their bet, both parties were confident. But only time could tell what the outcome
"Game? What game?""It's related to Summer. From what I know, she wanted to find a partner for her friend, Kelly. But now, she's changed her mind and wants to play matchmaker for Yola and Zach. So, I want to play a game."Keith had yet to reveal what the game was, but this made Bradly more curious about it.However, there was one thing that scared Bradly—Keith had accurately pointed out Summer's actions. It seemed that he had people monitoring Summer 24 hours a day.Bradly's expression became serious. "Keith, why are you so interested in Summer? Is it because she's James' woman?""Maybe." Keith didn't give a direct answer and gave an ambiguous response.Bradly knew that Keith wouldn't tell him why he was so interested even if he pressed him further, so he gave up and instead asked about the game Keith had mentioned."Tell me about your game.""Okay." Keith's lips curved into a cold smile as he slowly said, "I recently found an interesting friend, someone that Zach should be ver
Bradly didn't know what kind of game Keith wanted to play, but he definitely wouldn't help him."Keith, I'm leaving. I won't take part in your game."After all, Keith's game would hurt James, Zach, and Summer. Bradly would be betraying his friends if he joined in on it.However, Bradly had underestimated Keith. Keith's villa wasn't a place where he could come and go as he pleased. Just as Bradly stepped foot out the door, more than ten bodyguards clad in black appeared and formed a line around him, forcing him to go back inside.Bradly was furious upon seeing this. "Keith, what are you trying to do?""Don't be mad, Bradly. We've known each other for 20 years. You don't think that I would hurt you, do you?""Hmph, who knows? You've always had a different personality from the three of us. Sometimes, I don't even know what you're thinking.""What am I trying to do?" Keith raised his head to look up at the ceiling with a hint of confusion on his cold and handsome face. He added,
Keith didn't want to bring Felicia out because he did not want to be the villain himself. He hoped to let Bradly take the fall.Bradly complained inwardly about Keith's evil tricks, but he had no choice but to compromise. "I understand. I'll take Felicia to Zach."Felicia was delighted upon hearing this. She waltzed over and hooked her arm around Bradly's, saying, "Bradly, I'll leave it to you."Bradly didn't feel happy at all. He had a stiff expression on his face, as if a family member of his had just died.After leaving the villa, Bradly took Felicia back to his own home. Although he had been instructed to take her to Zach, he chose not to do it right away. Instead, he would first make her stay there temporarily.He had many questions for Felicia.At night, Bradley changed into a pair of loose pajamas and went to the guest room at the Walsh residence, which served as Felicia's temporary stay.At that moment, Felicia was lying in bed and playing with her phone. She was wearing
