The President's Darling Chapter 358
It had been quite some time since Summer had made the bet with Zach, and she still hadn't received his answer until now. She wondered whether Yolanda had confessed her feelings to him or not.Summer had boldly said that she would divorce James if she lost the bet because Yolanda had promised that she would confess her feelings. But why was there still no news?Feeling anxious, Summer became worried that something had happened. If Yolanda didn't confess her feelings and Summer lost the bet, wouldn't she have to grant Zach's wish to divorce James?Getting up from the stone bench, Summer decided she would make a call to inquire about the situation. As soon as she stepped into the house, she was met with a cold-faced, condescending-looking Caroline who had her arms crossed over her chest."Where are you going, Summer?""Back to my room," Summer replied as she stumbled while trying to slip away. However, as she passed by Caroline, a bodyguard in black suddenly reached out to obstru
The President's Darling Chapter 359
Feeling relieved, Summer said, "Since you have a plan, hurry up and come over. I'll wait for you at Medicare Hospital. Your mom and I will be there for the pregnancy check-up.""Okay."After hanging up the phone, Summer's anxious thoughts calmed down a bit. This time was different from the last. Last time, James had had a car accident and hadn't been able to show up in time. But he couldn't be so unlucky to get into a car accident again this time.Moreover, Summer didn't plan to pretend to have stomach pain to delay time again. She calculated how long it would take. It was about a ten-minute drive from Quigley Group to Medicare Hospital, while it would take 30 minutes to get to Medicare Hospital from the Quigley residence. Hence, James should reach the hospital before her.After changing into a fresh set of clothes and tidying herself up a bit, Summer went to the entrance of the Quigley residence, where Caroline was already waiting. She was pleased to see that Summer had come

"That's right!" With James' reminder, Summer realized that she wouldn't be staying at the Quigley residence for long. At most, she and James would stay for another six months before leaving. By then, Caroline wouldn't know if her pregnancy was real or not.If Caroline ever wanted to see the child, Summer could hold a fake child or claim that she had a miscarriage. In that case, Caroline couldn't do anything about it.Anyway, telling lies for a while was better than being exposed. At least for the next few months, Summer could live comfortably.In the waiting room of the gynecology department, a female doctor in her 40s was waiting. She had a pair of glasses resting on the bridge of her nose. She greeted everyone warmly. "Mrs. Quigley, Madam Quigley, Mr. Quigley, hello, I'm Dr. Vera Livingston. I will be performing Mrs. Quigley's pregnancy examination today."James stepped forward and shook her hand. "Thank you for seeing us today.""You're welcome. It's my honor to serve you,
The President's Darling Chapter 361
James pondered for a moment before saying, "Mom, Dr. Linn is indeed capable, but when it comes to pregnancy, there will be a series of necessary check-ups later on. "Naturally, having the same doctor throughout the pregnancy will help us get a better understanding of the situation. "Dr. Linn is getting older, and I fear she may not be able to handle the workload. Why don't we let Dr. Livingston perform the check-ups for us? Dr. Livingston's capabilities in this area should not be underestimated."Caroline responded sharply, "What are you talking about? Serving the Quigley family is her honor. Besides, I already called Dr. Linn yesterday." After speaking, Caroline picked up her phone and made a call. After a brief conversation, she turned to James and said, "It's settled. I've spoken to Dr. Linn. She's in the deputy director's room on the fifth floor. She's coming to do the check-up for us now."Caroline called Pearl over, and the matter was settled. Vera, whom James had convi

Summer sat in the car, daring not to make a sound. The atmosphere was heavy. No one spoke at all. Upon arriving at the Quigley residence, Summer quickly led James back to their room.Only when Caroline was not around did Summer feel completely relieved. She lay on the bed, feeling relaxed as she exhaled deeply.Seeing Summer's demeanor, James comforted her. "Are you alright, Summie?""How could I be alright? You saw how your mom looked at me just now, like she wanted to devour me alive." Recalling the moment, Summer thought Caroline was akin to a beast with sharp fangs, eager to tear her apart into pieces with her teeth and claws.James was helpless. Originally, the plan had been to bribe Vera to falsify a pregnancy report, but James hadn't expected Caroline to insist on having Pearl do the check-up."Summie, although Mom knows about the pregnancy, I don't think she will do anything to harm you," James said.Summer chuckled. James didn't think anything would happen because he

Caroline led Summer to the kitchen. There were various strange foods laid out on the table. There was also a middle-aged woman dressed in a white coat by the round table. She resembled a doctor.Caroline explained, "The items on the table are all beneficial for your body. Make sure to eat all of them. This is Dr. Sylvia Landry. You must listen to her instructions on how to regulate your body and learn about pregnancy."Summer wasn't surprised. When she had reached the table, she had already guessed that Caroline must have prepared food and classes for her. It turned out that her guess was right.Initially, she had planned to go out before it got dark, but she had ended up getting detained at home."Mom, class should be over by now. The evening is my leisure time. Can I please do this next time?" Summer tried to negotiate, hoping to secure some time to leave, but her efforts were in vain.Caroline responded aggressively, "You’re not even pregnant yet, and you dare to talk about fre

Yolanda shook her head and murmured, "Forget it. We can talk about confessing next time."The road at night was silent. A gentle breeze was blowing. The bustling Rosseera City was peaceful at this moment. It was so quiet that one could only hear the sound of the wind blowing and the sound of people sleeping soundly.Yolanda hadn't expected to have this rare moment of tranquility shattered so easily. As she walked along a small alleyway, she suddenly received a phone call. It was Zach. When she saw the caller ID on her phone screen, she was so startled that she almost dropped her phone. Luckily, she quickly reacted and held onto it in time.She pressed the answer button and asked cautiously, "Zach, is that you? It's so late now. Why are you calling?""Are you free?" Zach asked."Yeah." Yolanda answered without hesitation. She thought Zach must have something important if he was looking for her at this hour. If he needed help, she wanted to be there for him.In fact, Zach didn'

Yolanda couldn't break free. The other women were too strong. In a moment, they had already left a red mark on her wrist. Yolanda could only cry out, "Let go! What are you trying to do?"Chloe Adams, the woman with long hair, said, "We don't want to do anything. We just want you to leave quietly. Don't disturb our gathering with Zachie."The woman with short hair, Harper Clark, agreed. "That's right. Zachie is our distinguished guest. If you want him, you'll have to get in line behind us."Chloe and Harper seemed very immoral. It was evident they wanted to claim Zach for themselves and squeeze a lot of money out of him. They hovered on the fringes of society, depending on wealthy men for a living. If pushed too far, they could certainly put Yolanda in danger.But Yolanda couldn't bother to think so much. Zach was really drunk. If she let Harper and Chloe have him, who knew what would happen?So, she didn't care if they were blocking her. She forcefully pushed her way through.C

"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
