Summer glanced downward to find a plate of spaghetti on the table. It was the Venus spaghetti that Keith introduced earlier, which had an additional cherry sauce in it. Summer picked up a fork, twirled some noodles, and tasted them. The noodles indeed had a rich cherry flavor that tasted like a fruit burst in her mouth. Summer couldn't resist giving a thumbs-up. She praised, "It's really delicious!""I'm glad you like it." Keith glanced over and said, "I have specially requested this dish for you. I know you enjoy the cherry flavor, so I requested the chef to specifically make it this way."Based on what he said, it seemed that the restaurant didn't typically serve Venus spaghetti, and he had specially requested it. It showed how thoughtful Keith was. The fact that out of all types of fruit flavors, he specifically picked cherry suggested that he had likely done some research on Summer before. Truthfully, Keith had put a lot of effort into "pursuing" her. Summer could see his
Keith had many girlfriends. After all, it was all to satisfy his desires.Keith didn't deny the claim but rather candidly said, "It's just a mutual consensual agreement between consenting parties. I like women, and women like my money. So, we reached a deal. There's nothing wrong with that.""Yes, yes, you're right. It's a mutual agreement, so no one gets hurt. But is this love?" Summer set down her utensils and wiped her mouth with a napkin. She couldn't bother to eat now but continued to lecture him instead, "Keith, that isn't love. So, the root cause of your problem is finding someone you truly love and being in a real relationship with them."Keith kept quiet. His handsome face was full of contemptuous smiles. He probably felt what Summer said was very despicable.Summer didn't give up but said persistently, "Trust me. Don't you want to have the same happiness as James? If it's true love, it can dispel the negative emotions in your mind. Love has that kind of power.""That's
"First of all, it's impossible for you and me to be in love." Summer stressed her words. "I'm already married to James. Secondly, you don't truly like me!""Do you have proof that I don't truly like you?"Summer was stunned for a moment. She didn't think liking someone would require evidence. She had no way to prove Keith's feelings toward her. Besides, she believed liking someone didn't need any evidence. "Liking someone is something you feel. I just don't feel that you truly like me," Summer explained."Is that so? Then, what do you think about this?" Keith snapped his fingers again. The restaurant's music dimmed. The glazed lights on the ceiling emitted a faint pearly white glow. The performance band started playing a romantic melody.The scene was as beautiful as a dream. Summer couldn't believe what she was seeing was real. Most importantly, the beautiful scene wasn't the end but merely the beginning.Subsequently, fluffy white snow began falling from the ceiling. The lig
Keith had planned a confession scene that no woman would reject, but it definitely was ineffective on Summer.Summer rejected the confession without any hesitation. She said coldly, "No! Are you stupid? I already have a husband. How could I be your girlfriend?"Having said that, she shifted her gaze from the diamond ring in his hand to the cake, poking it slightly with her finger and then tasting it."Delicious! This cake is not bad," Summer remarked. She just had spaghetti and now, she was indulging in this delicious dessert. Life felt incredibly good right then.Summer returned to the table to pick up her fork and knife, thinking of cutting the human-shaped cake in front of her. However, at the same time, she felt it would be a shame to do so. The cake was really pretty, and it truly resembled her. She just couldn't bear to destroy it. Therefore, she decided to take a photo with the human-shaped cake before eating it!"Hey, Keith, help me take a photo," she called out as she h
Summer had taken on the role of a matchmaker. She certainly couldn't "sell" herself out no matter what, so she decided to betray her best friends. Kelly was the best choice after all, no? Summer had been fretting over how to find a husband for Kelly. She could recommend Kelly to Keith if he was willing to try. It would be killing two birds with a stone, resolving both Kelly and Keith's problems at once.However, Keith had a very strong opinion about the suggestion. He became gloomy and simply snapped his fingers again without saying a word.What did he mean? Is snapping fingers an order to his subordinates? Before Summer could comprehend what was going on, two men in black appeared in front of her."Keith, what are you doing?" Summer asked. However, before she could get a reply, the two men grabbed her arms and promptly escorted her out.Summer wanted to curse. It turned out that Keith wanted to kick her out. She hadn't even taken a photo with her human-shaped cake yet!The co
Summer gently patted James's head and comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, I won't leave you. Didn't we promise never to leave each other's side?" Summer was very loyal. Once she committed to someone, she wouldn't leave unless something serious happened. As they nestled together on the plush couch, the warm glow of the lights enveloped them, their affection reminiscent of a pair of lovebirds. Sometimes, love was just that simple—a hug and a comforting word were enough to make each other happy. At that moment, Summer and James experienced a sense of bliss, wishing earnestly for time to stand still. Time always progressed, resulting in growth and aging. Yet, the true essence of love lay in its resilience against time's trials. If it was genuine love, it remained unchanged, regardless of the circumstances. The next morning, Summer got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. James, who had also just woken up, suddenly hugged her from behi
Now that she had finished assigning the tasks, Summer could finally take a lunch break. However, just as she settled into her office chair, Lily informed her that there were visitors waiting to see her. "Who are they?" Summer asked. Lily shook her head, saying that she didn't know, only stating that it was a group of people. "A group of people…" Summer felt a sense of unease. Why would a group of people suddenly come to see her? Unsure of the visitors' identities, she instructed Lily to let them in. Four beautiful women and two handsome men entered the office. They were all young and dressed stylishly. Summer didn't recognize any of them and asked, "Who are you?" "Mrs. Quigley, we're here to assist you with your makeup and styling. We're short on time, so let's begin," one of them replied. "What?" Before Summer could react, they began applying makeup to her face. They worked together seamlessly, and in no time, they had finished her makeup, styled her hair, and dr
Looking forward to surprises could often prove to be quite challenging. Summer trailed behind the redhead lady, feeling like she was walking on thin ice, requiring extra caution with each step. At that moment, nearby reporters began to ask questions. "Mrs. Quigley, we've heard that Mr. Quigley is about to make a very important announcement. Do you have any idea what it might be?" Another reporter added, "Is Mr. Quigley planning to host some sort of major banquet?" "Mrs. Quigley, are you expecting? Is Mr. Quigley making the announcement here?" The reporters were abuzz with discussion, and some even disregarded the red rope and hurried forward. Luckily, Summer had Lexi with her, and Lexi promptly dealt with the approaching reporters. However, the questions from the reporters left Summer feeling a bit flustered. Summer couldn't help but wonder about James's intentions. She couldn't understand why he had chosen a church as the location for their date.Besides, neither of the
