Upon noticing Keith, Zach pounced on him from behind and tried to give him a scare. "Let's go play, Keith."The latter was actually frightened. Once he turned around and found that it was Zach, he huffed. "Oh—it's you, Zach.""Yeah." Zach grabbed his hand and started dragging him out of the classroom. As he walked, he said, "Classes have been so boring lately. Let's hurry out before Mr. Butler catches us." "Sure. But what about James and Bradly? Let's get them to come with us."Keith was overjoyed by the idea of hanging out. They could play all sorts of games. This included hide-and-seek, tag, fishing—they could even go get ice cream together. These were all great activities, but it would be better if he had all of his best friends with him. Hence, he wanted to bring James and Bradly along, too. "I've already looked for them," Zach responded. "They were picked up from school ages ago.""That's a shame. It's okay, then. We'll just go on our own."Despite missing half of th
"Run!" Once he realized what was going on, Zach's first thought was to escape. He dragged Keith along and started running down the pebbled path. Unfortunately, it was impossible for two kids to outrun a bunch of adults. Under Adam's instruction, the bodyguards surrounded Keith and Zach. There was nowhere for them to go.Adam was outraged. He was waiting for Zach by the entrance of his classroom as Ryan Myers instructed. After a long wait, he discovered that the child had escaped from a window. He was looking all over before he finally found him here. Nevertheless, Zach was still a son of the Myers family. Despite being furious, Adam still had to remain respectful. Hence, he said politely, "Please head back with me, Mr. Myers.""There's no way I'm heading back. I told Keith we were going to play together," Zach said before sticking his tongue out at him.Adam was fuming. However, he suppressed his anger and responded in a patient and friendly manner, "Your father would definitely
Adam was aware that Hailey was the lady of the Ritter household. Hence, he greeted her respectfully, "Hello, Mrs. Ritter. Since you're here, I'll leave young Mr. Ritter to you. "I just caught both of them trying to sneak out for a playdate. Thank goodness I managed to stop them in time."If it weren't for him, the pair of kids would've run off to play. There was no telling what might've happened if they did. He was trying to imply that he'd made a significant contribution to keeping her child safe. Hailey understood this perfectly. She flashed him a polite smile before responding courteously, "Thank you, Mr. Reeves. Actually, I was the one who told them to wait for me at the back gate. I wanted to bring them to the amusement park. I didn't expect such a huge misunderstanding to occur.""What?" His eyes widened in disbelief. Then, he muttered, "So the kids weren't trying to run off on their own?" "Of course not. I assumed that Keith and Zach were both exhausted from studying all
Hailey was very worried. Children of wealthy families like them must be accompanied by bodyguards at all times. It would be disastrous if they were targeted by bad people. Zach walked over apologetically. Then, he started admitting his wrongdoings with his head hung low. "It's not his fault, Aunt Hailey. I was the one who brought him out to play."She froze for a moment before realizing what was going on. Judging by Zach's expression, this might have actually been his idea. If it were her own child, she'd definitely discipline them over this. However, she couldn't bring herself to do the same to Zach. It was only natural that a child wanted to have fun. Besides, Zach seemed extremely apologetic. His eyes were teary, and he looked pitiful—there was no way anyone could get mad at him.Her heart softened at the sight. She smiled softly before gently pulling him into her embrace. "It's okay. There's nothing wrong with wanting to go out and play. Your family must have been giving
First of all, they had completely different personalities. Kelly Williams was outgoing and lively. She might even act a bit crazy sometimes. To a certain extent, her personality resembled Summer's.According to the information Summer had gathered, Hailey was an elegant, refined, and friendly woman who was attentive toward the people around her. She was practically the perfect woman.The contrast between the two was striking. However, Summer wasn't implying that Kelly was lacking in any way. Hailey was just too perfect—even women would find her attractive, too.Additionally, Hailey was a gorgeous woman from a foreign country. She had a great figure and was incredibly poised. She was easily more beautiful than a celebrity. Kelly was gorgeous, too, but she couldn't hold a candle to Hailey's good looks. Besides, how could she possibly be prettier than an exotic woman? It was impossible to make her look like Hailey. On top of that, it wouldn't be right to change up her personality
At the mention of giving up, Kelly got upset. "No, no—I don't want to give up," she yelled frantically.Summer felt exasperated. Kelly just required a little nudge. "If that's the case, let's come up with an idea together. I still think I can get him to go on another date with you. "What if you just talk to him about something positive or bright? It'd be best if you could have a heart-to-heart conversation."Kelly was confused. "What kind of heart-to-heart conversation?"Summer didn't have an answer to that either. It just needed to be a deep conversation that would leave a lasting impression on him. Unfortunately, she couldn't tell her exactly what to talk about."I'm not the one trying to go after him, Kelly. Since you now understand his relationship with his mother, you should come up with suitable topics on your own. This is all I can help you with.""That's true. Alright then." Kelly muttered in response. She sounded extremely lost and resigned. Summer couldn't bear to se
After getting off work, Summer skipped out of the company building. James had his brand new sports car with him and was currently waiting for her. He wasn't wearing a suit like he usually was. Instead, he was in a blue shirt and a pair of fitted shorts. He also donned a pair of sunglasses.He looked elegant and refined. His outfit, paired with his handsome face, made him the most striking view around the block. Near the main entrance of the building, a couple of female staff members crowded around to stare at him. Some even used their phones to snap a picture. They seemed to be treating him like a model.Once Summer caught sight of him, she couldn't help but smile. She approached him and asked, "You're here to pick me up for dinner, aren't you? Can't you be more low-key about it?""Low-key?""Yeah! You're parked at the main entrance with a sports car, and it looks as though you're waiting for someone important. Don't you think this would've caused quite a stir?"Summer's comme
James seemed to have realized something. He nodded and said, "I'll go disfigure myself then.""What?" Summer froze. She thought she misheard him for a moment. She promptly shook her hands and said, "Don't do that—why on earth would you disfigure yourself?""You hate the fact that I'm good-looking, so I might as well disfigure myself. Pouring acid on my face should ruin it completely. Would you rather I scar my face with a knife instead, Summie?" he asked in a gentle tone.Although he was acting considerately, she knew that he was doing this on purpose. "James Quigley, you idiot!" She smacked his arm. She was just joking around. She didn't expect him to respond in such a serious manner. He even gave her options! Only James Quigley could come up with such an absurd response.Summer turned away from him. "I don't hate the fact that you're handsome. I just think you're too popular. It makes me insecure," she muttered coldly."You get insecure?"His questions annoyed her. Of cour
