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
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
Summer lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry… Actually, you weren't in the wrong. I'm to blame instead.""I got it." James sounded very crestfallen in his reply. It seemed that he was unhappy. This made Summer upset as well. After putting herself in his shoes, she realized that James did many things for her unconditionally. Wasn't his affection for her very obvious? Since Summer knew that she had fallen for him, why couldn't they take things to the next step?At that moment, she came to a realization. They were a couple, so they couldn't continue keeping a distance like that. So, she courageously approached him and placed her arms around his neck. "James, I'm going to kiss you!" she said domineeringly. This stunned James, who was usually very calm. Just as the latter prepared to ask her what was wrong, Summer suddenly moved closer. Ignoring his shocked expression, she hugged him and passionately kissed him. Their love for each other grew intense at that moment. Even the
