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
At that moment, Fred extended Summer's hand toward James, stating, "James, I'm entrusting my daughter to you. Take good care of her, you hear?" James replied firmly, "You can count on me, Dad. No matter what happens, I'll cherish and protect her. I won't allow any harm to come to her."His eyes were filled with determination, revealing his sincere commitment.Feeling reassured, Fred entrusted Summer to James and stepped back.Now, tightly holding hands, Summer and James felt the rush of love in their hearts.This scene wasn't unfamiliar to Summer; she had seen it countless times in her dreams.Since childhood, she had fantasized about marrying her prince charming and making vows before the divine. Yet, she never anticipated it would become a reality.Summer couldn't help but whisper, "James, why didn't you tell me beforehand? A wedding is such an important occasion, and you didn't mentally prepare me for it at all."Summer felt entirely in the dark from the moment she left the
The priest cleared his throat and asked, "Are you both ready to make your vows?""Yes, we're ready," James replied, snapping back to attention.They had indeed become too engrossed in their conversation earlier, causing a delay in the proceedings.With that, the wedding ceremony officially commenced.The priest held the Bible solemnly and asked, "Mr. Quigley, do you take Ms. Charter to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?""I do!" James declared.The priest nodded and then turned to Summer. "Ms. Charter, do you take Mr. Quigley to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health..." Amidst the gaze of the crowd, the priest began to speak slowly, heightening the atmosphere to its peak. However, something unexpected happened! As the priest was
Norman gestured for the security guards stationed behind the church pillars to intervene and remove Hank and Simone.However, they didn't leave quietly.When the security guards tried to restrain them, Hank and Simone resisted, holding onto the pews and refusing to move."James, you've married a tainted woman. Summer is like an old shoe to me. Do you really think she'll love you? She's only after your money," Hank shouted hoarsely. Simone chimed in, "Yeah, she's just a vain woman. This wedding isn't right!" Their intention to disrupt the wedding was evident.Despite ongoing discussions and criticisms from the guests, James ignored them and went straight to embrace Summer, wrapping his arms tightly around her slender waist.Summer was taken aback by James's sudden gesture.It took her a moment to gather herself, and by then, James's lips had already met hers.
