As Summer pondered the situation, she came to realize the challenges James faced. Despite waking up earlier than her every day, he had never accidentally disturbed her slumber. This demonstrated his carefulness, which deeply touched Summer. James revealed himself to be a caring individual.After waking up, Summer went to the bathroom and washed up. Upon returning to the room, she found James still asleep, even though it was already 6:05 am, a departure from his usual wake-up time. Contemplating whether to rouse him, Summer recalled his late-night work session, extending until 2:00 am. Considering this, she concluded that he deserved more rest.Silently approaching James, Summer grappled with the dilemma. Failing to awaken him might lead to his discontent upon waking later. "I should wake him up…" she muttered to herself, reaching out tentatively. However, she hesitated just before making contact.The sunlight illuminated James' handsome features, casting him in a statuesque light.

"What's the matter?" James asked. Summer asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you going to eat breakfast? Besides, didn't you only sleep for four hours?""I'm sorry, Summie. I have a very important meeting today, so I have to make preparations for it at the office."James appeared visibly anxious and driven by the urgency of his work commitments. Despite this, his forward momentum halted as Summer intervened. Though Summer herself felt a twinge of discomfort, she couldn't quite pinpoint its source. Perhaps it stemmed from witnessing James' fatigued appearance. Summer reached out and gently took hold of James's hand. "Don't you ever get tired from working so hard every day?""Summie…""You're a human, not a robot. Despite being the president of Quigley Group and having a packed schedule every day, you still need to prioritize your health. I'm concerned that you're pushing yourself too hard," Summer expressed earnestly, her tone serious.Regardless of how capable someone

James went back into the house. He held Summer's hand and said, "It's fine. I can skip one day of work. I'll delegate the work to my subordinates. They'll take care of it for me." "Will you be able to rest? Can you really rest for one day?" Summer asked in disbelief. "Of course."Summer breathed a sigh of relief, trusting in James's astuteness to have considered the consequences of resting beforehand. His willingness to heed her advice reassured her that the situation wasn't dire. Therefore, after half an hour, Summer and James got out of bed and ate breakfast together for the first time. There was no one in the dining hall. Caroline and Norman were still sleeping, so Summer and James were the only ones there. Their diligent subordinates, clad in white uniforms, served them a sumptuous array of delicate Mestern dishes. Breakfast at the Quigley residence was a grand affair, a stark departure from Summer's usual bread and milk routine. The spread was opulent, featuring ov

Wealthy families felt compelled to display magnificence as thriftiness would be perceived as shabbiness by others. Hence, they showcased their extravagance. Despite this, Summer couldn't fathom why James continued the practice of ordering excess food, knowing it was wasteful.However, James didn't directly address her query. Instead, he posed an unexpected question. "Do you know what happens to wolves if they hunt alone?"Perplexed, Summer wasn't sure why James would ask such a question. Nonetheless, she knew the answer. Wolves hunted in packs, particularly when targeting large herbivores like buffaloes. Hunting alone often failed. This was why lone wolves faced the threat of death by starvation. Yet, Summer didn't understand what James meant. So, she shook her head uncertainly. James explained, "Wealthy families are like packs of wolves. We won't tolerate outsiders. Once someone behaves differently from the rest, he'll be ostracized." After that, Summer came to a realizatio

"This is great," Summer exclaimed. Then, she entered the house. Although she had married into the Quigley family, she still had the keys to Charter Estate. So she could return whenever she wanted. Meanwhile, Amelia heard the door open, thinking that Fred had returned. However, she soon realized that it was Summer who had come home. She was so happy that she almost cried. "Summie, my darling, you're home." Amelia quickly approached her daughter and hugged her. The atmosphere was touching and filled with warmth. As Summer and Amelia caught up enthusiastically, James began to feel out of place, like an outsider in their reunion. While they chatted animatedly, he stood awkwardly, unsure of how to engage with them.When they moved to the living room, Amelia turned her attention to James. "Have you been busy with work lately?" she inquired."No. Thank you for your concern, Mom." James had not interacted much with Amelia. So, when he called her mom, it felt rather awkward. That mad

The room became silent. Summer and Amelia, who were chatting enthusiastically, kept quiet. They stared at James and waited for him to speak. "Mom, I'll take care of Summer, and won't let her be mistreated. Please believe in me," James said seriously. His sudden action stunned Summer. What was the millennia-old iceberg doing? Why was he saying such weird things? It seems as if he was making a pledge. Meanwhile, Amelia burst into laughter. "I believe in you, James. You'll certainly treat my daughter well." She affectionately rubbed Summer's head. "I used to wonder who Summer would marry in the future. Back then, I was so worried because she's so stubborn and she has a bad temper. I used to worry that she wouldn't find her happiness. Yet, when I saw how you proposed to her that day, I believed that you would make Summie happy, James."Amelia wasn't an extremely educated person. However, her words were filled with maternal love. Therefore, after hearing that, James and Summer were v

Caroline stormed out of the living room in her chiffon scarf, her anger palpable.Meanwhile, James stood at the staircase, unmoved by Caroline's presence. Without glancing back, he took hold of Summer's hand and led her away, seemingly ignoring his mother's reproach.Caroline's frustration surged. "James, are you defying me? Won't you heed your mother?" she demanded, pointing accusingly at him. Closing in on James, she grasped his arm tightly. "Were you absent from work today? Your absence during crucial business dealings allowed our competitors to capitalize. Do you have nothing to say for yourself?"James remained indifferent. He didn't want to say anything. Summer's anxiety escalated. With James absent from the company, its stocks plummeted. She wondered if she bore partial responsibility for this turn of events, having insisted James take a day off to accompany her to visit her parents.Summer didn't want Caroline to continue scolding James. Moreover, he was the president o

Caroline stepped forward, her fingers closing firmly around Summer's wrist, leaving behind a crimson imprint as Summer yelped in pain.Caroline asked, "Tell me what happened. Did you drag James along with you?""Well…" Summer didn't know what to say. James had already told his mother that he brought her out. As such, if she said that she was the one who told James to accompany her instead, it would mean that James was lying. Moreover, she would be punished. So, Summer didn't know what to say. Caroline's frustration mounted at Summer's silence. "Tell me what's going on!"James, unable to bear it anymore, intervened, "Mom, what I said was true. I needed a break from work. This isn't Summer's fault." Positioning himself between his wife and mother, James shielded Summer, his protective stance evident.Caroline's gaze bore into Summer, a silent warning laced within. It spoke volumes: "You're fortunate my son intervened today, but your luck won't hold forever." Already discont
