The President's Darling Chapter 821
"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
The President's Darling Chapter 823
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
The President's Darling Chapter 825
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
The President's Darling Chapter 828
After a long pause, James finally said, "Summie, I don't know how to make you feel secure, but what I can do is stay by your side every moment—as constant as the sun and moon. My love for you will never waver.""Is that your promise?""Yes."Once James made a promise, it could not be changed. No matter what happened, he would stick to his word. That was his character.Summer valued a person's character highly. That's why she hadn't immediately accepted James at first; she wanted to take her time to ensure he was truly someone she could spend her life with.As they spent more time together, it became clear to Summer that James was an exceptional man. His excellence wasn't only in the external aspects, but it was more in the unseen, internal qualities.It was 7:00 pm, and the stars lined the sky. In a Cadethian restaurant, the soothing sound of string instruments resonated. Summer sat at a rosewood table, taking in the surroundings with interest. The restaurant was rich in Cade

"Of course. I'm the chairman of Charter Corporation, after all. Why can't I continue working? I took care of Charter Corporation back when you got married, didn't I?" Fred patted his chest firmly, looking quite confident.Summer also believed that her father would be able to manage the company well if she left it in his care.Fred was the founder of Charter Corporation, after all. He had worked on it for decades, and he was the person who knew it the best. If he was the one taking over, Summer definitely had no reason to worry.However, Fred had already retired, so he should be relaxing at home at his age. Summer felt a little bad if he was suddenly asked to manage the company again.James comforted Summer, saying, "Summie, why don't you let him help you? Of all the people in Charter Corporation, he must be the person who's the most invested in the company other than you.""That's right." Fred smiled confidently. "How can I not care about my own company? Don't worry, Summer. Just

They were having a meal right now, so where was Fred going? Summer asked in confusion, "Dad, where are you going?"When Summer asked the question, Fred had already left the living room. He seemed to be on his way back to his room.Amelia explained, "He's preparing a gift for you.""Preparing a gift? What gift?"Soon, the gift Amelia mentioned was brought over to them.Fred was carrying a large cardboard box, which he processed to place on the table. He retrieved children's toys, baby clothes, and a jigsaw puzzle from the box.Summer was speechless when she saw that. So this was the sort of gift Amelia was talking about. But why would Fred give her these things out of the blue?Holding the clothes, Fred explained gleefully, "Several months ago, Amelia and I were shopping when we came across some baby products. We were wondering when you'd have children, and we feared that you wouldn't be able to buy all the baby products you would need, so we bought some ahead of time."Summer s

Nearby, James faked a cough as if there was another matter at hand. Noticing something off with his expression, Summer thought that he choked on something, so she asked, "Would you like some water?""No, thanks… Summie, did you forget why we came here in the first place?"Thanks to James' reminder, Summer finally remembered that she wasn't here for a simple visit. She had to tell her parents the good news of her pregnancy.At that moment, Amelia and Fred were leisurely enjoying the food. Summer knew that if they heard the news, they might get overwhelmed with emotion, so she decided to give them a heads-up. "Dad, Mom, we actually came here to tell you an important piece of news. Maybe you can stop eating for now.""What's the matter?" Fred asked curiously."Well… This is a very serious matter. Before I break the news, I'd like you to be as calm as possible. Please don't get too worked up."When Amelia and Fred heard that, they exchanged glances. They had no idea what exactly Summ

For example, Summer and James were taking a walk in the park. They might look like they were alone, but in reality, more than a dozen bodyguards were hiding in bushes and various corners of the park. To protect the child, the Quigleys pulled out all the stops to ensure Summer's safety."Alright, I get it." Summer chose to compromise. She was living a wonderful life at the Quigley residence, after all, so she felt like she shouldn't ask for too much.Also, as Caroline had said, Summer would regain freedom once she gave birth to the child. Summer would be able to live her happy life with James then, and Caroline wouldn't be around to nag her about the child.The next morning, the Quigleys arranged for a luxurious limousine to send Summer and James to the Charter Estate. Amelia and Fred already knew that their daughter would be coming over, so they were waiting at the entrance. When they saw their dear daughter, elated expressions appeared on their faces."Summer, you're back! We've p

Hence, Summer could do whatever she pleased. If Caroline dared to restrict her freedom, Summer would be upset, and Caroline wouldn't want that.As Summer walked along the even path of the park, she did some stretches to loosen up. "It's a nice life. Before this, I was worried that something bad might happen if I returned to the Quigley residence, but now, it looks like I was overthinking it. Caroline is very good to me, and the others respect me too.""I'm glad to hear that. I was also worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to staying in the Quigley residence. You're pregnant, after all." James glanced at Summer's belly, his eyes filled with fatherly love and tenderness. By the looks of it, he had intended to be a father a long time ago."Hold your horses. I've only been pregnant for three weeks. They say that the baby will be born after ten months of pregnancy, and it's not even been a month yet, let alone ten." With that, Summer suddenly held James' hand and guided it tow

What would it mean to Howe if he gave up on the position of the head of the family? It meant that he would have to depend on someone else to survive, and he would be giving up on glory and riches along with a life filled with extravagance.Thanks to his wealthy background, Howe was already used to life like this. If James became the head of the family in the future, he might exercise his authority as the head of the family to limit Howe's movements. Howe would be stripped of freedom.Maeve felt that Howe was right as well. Her current life of luxury was built upon mountains of cash. If Howe didn't get to be the head of the family, he would definitely face restrictions."Howe, I want you to be the head of the family as well, but do you really have confidence in your capabilities? Your brother is so outstanding, and he's the official heir, too."Maeve hit the nail on the head. This was exactly what Howe was worried about as well. There was a world of difference between him and James,

So, when Caroline asked her to stay in the Quigley residence, Summer somewhat reluctantly agreed.At noon the next day, dark clouds filled the sky, making it look bleak. However, in the bustling Rosseera City, things were as lively as usual.In a luxury hotel situated in the city center, Howe was sitting on a chair, holding a glass of wine in one hand while his other arm was wrapped around the waist of a beautiful woman. At that moment, his expression was as gloomy as the weather.The young woman was good at reading the room. Extending her fingers, she traced circles on Howe's pink shirt. She asked, "What's the matter, Howe? You seem to be in a bad mood today. Could there be anyone in Rosseera City who's bold enough to offend you?""Hmph…" Howe didn't say a word. Instead, he downed the whole glass of wine.Noticing that he wasn't saying anything, the young woman pursed her lips and planted a kiss on his cheek. Smiling, she asked, "What's going on? Are you going to say that women w

James didn't want to agree to this arrangement. Even though it wasn't explicitly mentioned, he was fully aware that Summer didn't want to stay at the Quigley residence. Hence, he said, "I'll take care of Summer, Mom. I even hired Tina to look after her needs. You know how dependable Tina is. With her around, everything will be fine.""Nonsense. Even if Tina was there, there's only so much she can do on her own. This Quigley grandchild is extremely important. I can't just let her handle everything by herself.""That won't be an issue, Mom. Besides, Summer won't feel comfortable staying here either." Summer's feelings were James' top priority. Caroline could see this as well. In the end, the decision was Summer's to make. So, instead of addressing James, she turned to Summer and asked, "Would you like to stay at the Quigley residence, Summie?"If it were up to Summer, she'd say no. There was no way she would want to stay here out of her own free will. Just the mere sight of Caroli

Howe was the quietest person at the table. He was dressed in a shirt with floral patterns, and his hair was slightly curly. He was as still as a rock. He had a look of terror on his face for a while now—he didn't know that Summer was pregnant.Now that his parents were talking about it, he immediately asked, "Pregnant? Is Summer pregnant?""Yes, she is—haven't you heard?" Caroline replied. "No… How is she suddenly pregnant? I didn't hear anything about it until now." "I only found out recently as well." Caroline's hand moved over her mouth before she continued, "Isn't it great? You're going to be an uncle soon.""Yeah. I can't wait." Howe put on a forced smile.Everyone in the family was overjoyed by the news—except Howe Quigley. The Quigleys had a family rule. If the heir had a child, his position as the head of the family would be set in stone.So, if James welcomed a baby, Howe would lose the opportunity to take his place as the family heir. By that logic, he would never be
