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
Their love slowly grew deeper. James sat up from the bed and put on a white shirt. Then, he placed a hand on Summer's shoulder. "I was really happy yesterday.""Me too. That was the happiest night of my life."They were overjoyed to have each other and be with one another. So, they kept feeling happy. Summer was James' first love, and it had been his first time with the woman the previous night. Meanwhile, though James wasn't Summer's first love, it was also her first time the previous night. Their first times were magical and unforgettable. The two stared at each other with love in their eyes. If was as if time seemed to stop. Love was a great thing. The two had known each other for half a year, and it was their first time experiencing the sweet taste of love. That sweetness made them feel like life was worth living. However, time didn't stop then. They woke up at 9:00 am. Three hours passed as they continued staring at each other. At 12:00 pm, Charlie stood outside the do
Lexi drove Summer to Charter Corporation. Once she saw the big company building, she exclaimed, "Is this your company, Mrs. Quigley?" "Yes." Summer nodded. She saw the shock in Lexi's eyes. It seemed that Charter Corporation was doing well. Though it was a medium-sized company, their office building didn't look too bad. There were 100 people working for the company, so they rented a standard office building. After entering the place, Summer realized that nothing had changed. The corridors, offices, and security guards remained the same. She entered the building. When the employees saw her, they greeted her. All of them were shocked to see her return. After all, everyone knew that she had married James from the Quigley family. Summer expected their reaction. All of them probably didn't understand why she had returned when she was already the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. They guessed that she had returned to visit Fred. However, contrary to their expectations, Su
