The President's Darling Chapter 574
Caroline wanted a successor for the Quigley family. Therefore, having children was important to her. However, James didn't want anyone to hurt Summer. He couldn't forget how she had hid under the covers and cried that night. Even though he could pretend to be aloof and unconcerned, he didn't want to do that when Summer was involved. "Mom, having children isn't important to me. It doesn't matter if the Quigley bloodline ends with me in the future. But no one can hurt Summer!" James grew louder as he spoke. His voice sounded very intimidating. This was the first time Summer had heard James sound so agitated. He always remained calm in every situation, and the volume of his voice always remained the same. However, he was very angry with Caroline at that moment. It seemed that he was trying to protect Summer. Caroline was very unhappy that James was protecting Summer. This was the first time she had felt like her position was being challenged. It was as if James didn't care abo

Lexi stood beside the bed and said, "Please wake up, Mrs. Quigley.""What happened?" Meanwhile, Summer felt that something had happened when she saw how Lexi blinked eagerly. So, she immediately sat up from the bed. After listening to Lexi's explanations, Summer realized that James had ordered his subordinates to move their things out. He was leaving the Quigley residence. He had done as he had promised. Once he had ended his argument with Caroline the previous night, he had moved out of the Quigley residence the next morning. Once Lexi finished speaking, she noticed the expression on Summer's face. Though the latter looked happy, she wasn't extremely overjoyed. "What's wrong, Mrs. Quigley? Why aren't you very surprised? Don't you want to leave this place too?""Of course, I'm very surprised. Who wouldn't be shocked?" Then, Summer smiled joyously. Though she was happy, she wasn't surprised. After all, she had already heard about it when she had eavesdropped on the conversat

"Please start the car," James said to the driver. Everything was ready. Summer was already waiting for him in the car. They were prepared to leave immediately. Meanwhile, Caroline hurriedly knocked on the windows once the car engine was switched on. She yelled, "James, wait for me. How could you do this?"Before she finished speaking, the engine made a loud sound. The car soon left the gates of the Quigley residence and drove away. After leaving the Quigley residence, Summer felt very relieved. The stress she felt was finally gone. However, at the same time, she felt a bit guilty. She asked James, "Is this appropriate? You left your family because of me.""You're the most important person in my life, so it's appropriate."James would place more importance on love than familial relationships. This was because no one else mattered that much to him apart from Summer. He didn't mind leaving his family members for her. Anyway, it wasn't a life-or-death situation, and they could

The purpose of the garden was to provide soundproofing. The city center was very noisy, so the garden helped to block out those sounds. As such, the residential area was very quiet. At a glance, one wouldn't realize that they were in the city center. Beaut Moon residential area had nine buildings. Almost 70% of the area was filled with greenery. That meant that there were more trees than buildings. After arriving at a small pathway in the residential area, Charlie pointed at the nine buildings and asked, "Mrs. Quigley, Mr. Quigley told me that you can choose any building for you to stay in.""Oh? Can I really choose the building to live in? Aren't these buildings occupied by people?"Since the place was a commercial area, it would usually be sold to others. Besides, the buildings were very peaceful and had great accommodations.As such, some wealthy people would've already started living in the buildings by now. Charlie replied, "This building is used for private purposes, a

When Summer stood in front of the window, she could see the scenery outside. She could also see the cars moving around the residential area. "How beautiful!"However, it was a little sad that the apartment was so empty. When she had lived in the Quigley residence, she and James had shared a room because they had to deal with Caroline's demands. As such, they had stayed in the same room and slept together. After leaving the Quigley residence, they were free from Caroline's supervision, so they didn't need to sleep in the same room. Yet, Summer felt a bit lonely without James. Since it wasn't that late, she decided to check on him in the opposite room. After she knocked on the door, James opened the door and invited her in. "What's wrong, Summie?" "Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to see what you were doing." Summer glanced into the room and realized that James was working. There was a laptop placed on a wooden table. Many documents were beside it, and some of them were writ

So, even if Charter Corporation were to go bankrupt and the Charters lost their source of income, they would still be able to live comfortably with James' help. Yet, this wasn't what Summer wanted. A woman should be independent and have her own source of income. Even if James was rich, Summer wanted to earn money by herself. Besides, working wasn't only about earning money. One could learn new things while working, and test their abilities. She could also make connections through work and socialize with others adequately. As such, she thought it would be better to work instead. But would it really be possible? Summer asked timidly, "I'm already married to you but I'm going to work. If your family members learn of this, won't they be unhappy?"She suddenly thought of Caroline. The latter was not satisfied with her. Caroline thought that her daughter-in-law should obey her after marrying into the Quigley family. However, James replied, "You don't have to care about other peopl
The President's Darling Chapter 580
Summer had to thank James. So, she said seriously, "Thank you.""It's fine." James waved his hands dismissively. Perhaps he thought that helping her was something he should do. Yet, Summer didn't feel that way. Even if they were a family, she shouldn't expect him to help. Besides, they weren't a real couple anyway. "I'm extremely grateful to you, James. You helped me a lot. First, you saved Charter Corporation from bankruptcy. Then, you quarreled with your mom because of me. Now, you've even allowed me to return to work."Summer was so grateful to him that she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only say, "Thank you." Actually, she had thought about returning to Charter Corporation before. The previous time she had returned to her parents' house, Fred had discussed the company's issues with her. Though everything seemed to be progressing smoothly, Summer couldn't bear seeing Fred look so tired. Moreover, he had already reached the age of retirement. She felt bad

On top of that, Summer and James had held hands and walked on the street for a long time that day. So, the two were considered lovers. After interacting with him for half a year, she had already started to like him. As such, Summer replied, "I'll kiss you.""Really?""Why would I trick you?" Summer frowned. However, she had a small request. "If you want to kiss me, you must close your eyes. No peeking."That was because she was a little shy. The previous time they had kissed, he had suddenly kissed her, catching her off-guard. Since they were going to kiss with Summer's permission, she wanted James to close his eyes so it wouldn't be too awkward. James closed his eyes obediently. The light shone on his handsome face. Since he had his eyes closed, Summer could see his long eyelashes. Upon seeing that, she wanted to kiss him urgently. It was great that he was good-looking. She would feel happy when she kissed him. Then, Summer held his face and slowly moved closer. She wante

"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
