The President's Darling Chapter 835
Summer offered a favor in exchange for Keith agreeing to go on a date with Kelly. She was really going all out for her best friend. After all, Summer had confidently promised Kelly on the phone last night that she would help set up a date with Keith. If she failed, she would be letting her friend down. To her surprise, Keith gave a mischievous smile and agreed. "Okay. As you wish."With that, he walked past Summer, heading straight for the café’s entrance. As he walked, he casually added, "Don't forget you owe me a favor. As for the date, time, and place, you can decide."Once Keith disappeared through the café’s revolving glass door, the surroundings went quiet, as if nothing had happened at all.For some reason, Summer felt like she had fallen into Keith's trap. What if Keith asked her to put her life in danger? Would she go through with it or not?The more Summer thought about it, the more it bothered her. She felt like she'd lost her mind to make such a promise to Keith. St

Kelly had been on dates before, but they were always arranged by the men pursuing her. Now that she was the one initiating the date with Keith, she had to plan everything herself, from where they would go to what they would do. Summer had already discussed the plans with Kelly over the phone: dinner, a movie, and a walk. While these activities might seem a bit cliché, they were reliable ways to deepen their connection through shared experiences.Summer had also advised Kelly to open up and share her feelings during the date. Hopefully, she would win over Keith's heart.Kelly understood and expressed her gratitude for Summer's help. Summer simply wished her good luck with the date. Even though Summer now owed Keith a favor, she felt the sacrifice was worth it.Summer was lounging on the sofa, waiting for James to come home. Unexpectedly, his call came through before he arrived.The phone rang, and Summer picked it up. "Summie, I won't be home for dinner today. I need to go back

"James, you're back! Hurry, take a seat," Suzanne said.James' expression turned sour. He had explicitly told Caroline over the phone that he was coming home to dine with her, not with Suzanne. Yet, here Suzane was, right in the Quigley residence. Caroline anticipated her son's displeasure and explained, "You know I'm often alone here. Your father and brother are busy elsewhere, so I asked Suzanne to accompany me."She then smiled as if nothing was amiss. "Come join us, James. Let's have dinner together."James didn't move toward them. Instead, he turned to leave. He had lost his appetite for dinner, especially after he had made it clear to Caroline that he didn't want to see Suzanne.Since Caroline could break her word, he saw no reason why he couldn't leave. Without looking back, James headed for the door.Caroline had anticipated James' reaction. Hence, she signaled Luca and the other bodyguards to block his path. "Mr. Quigley, please wait. Mrs. Quigley has more to say."Ign

For James, love was paramount. Because of love, everything else seemed insignificant, like dust. He was willing to give up on his high position in the Quigley family and become a nameless beggar just so that he could be with Summer."I won't let Summie go. Mom, please don't waste your efforts," James said firmly.The battle lines seemed to be drawn. Normally, Caroline would back down when she saw James so upset out of her love for him. But today, she was determined not to yield.Standing up from her chair, Caroline argued, "Traditionally, families of equal standing should marry. Summer's background doesn't match ours!"She paused before addressing the heart of the matter. "James, even if I agreed to your marriage with Summer because you love her, she still hasn't fulfilled her duty. It's been over a year, and there's no sign of a child."Caroline couldn't compromise on this matter. A child was crucial to continue the Quigley family's legacy. Without a child, everything was at risk

"Why not consider…" Caroline didn't continue speaking. However, James understood her intentions; Caroline wanted to seize the opportunity and persuade him to divorce Summer.There was no way James would relent. He scoffed, "It's just a matter of time that Summie gets pregnant. Mom, there's no need to force us to divorce."After that, James lost interest in continuing the discussion. He strode out the door, ignoring Caroline's calls to stop. Frustrated, she had no choice but to let him go.Luca shuffled in quietly, bowing slightly. "Mrs. Quigley, perhaps it's best not to rush this. Mr. Quigley is quite stubborn and hard to sway."Caroline nodded, knowing Luca was right. She knew James' temperament well, and pushing too hard might have the opposite effect. Hence, Caroline resolved to let things unfold on their own. But she was sure that Summer had no future in their family.Three days later, the Charter Corporation buzzed with its usual activities. Summer had just returned home fr

Kelly, still sounding dejected, whispered on the phone, "Summie, what should I do? After this date, I doubt Keith will want to meet me again."The opportunity Summer secured for Kelly was just a one-time date. Logically, after one date, Kelly shouldn't expect a second chance.Summer wanted to get her friend another opportunity to meet with Keith, though. Although she suspected he wouldn't agree, she didn't want Kelly to feel let down. So, Summer said, "How about this? I'll give him a call and see if I can work something out. I don't think Keith would mind a second date.""Really?""Yeah. I'll do my best to talk to him. If it works out, I'll call you back.""Great! Thanks so much, Summie." Kelly finally felt slightly hopeful. Although Summer promised to do her best to get Kelly another date with Keith, she couldn't say for sure she'd succeed. She thought there was a high chance it wouldn't work out. But given the situation, she had to try. It wasn't every day that Kelly could

Keith laughed as if Summer had just said a ridiculous joke. He said with disdain and mockery, "Do you really think Kelly and I are a good match? I've looked into her background. Even as a birthing tool, she doesn't measure up to me."Keith's words were harsh. He implied that marriage was only about having children, and he spoke of Kelly as if she were beneath him. Summer's anger flared. She could tolerate insults directed at her but not at her friends."Keith, mind your words. Just because Kelly likes you doesn't mean you can disregard her feelings and trample on her dignity.""Sorry, but that's just who I am." With that, Keith saw no point in continuing the conversation and hung up without another word.Summer was fuming as she heard the dial tone buzzing in her ears. Glaring at her phone, she muttered through clenched teeth, "That jerk! How dare he hang up on me!"Summer couldn't stand when others hung up on her—it was incredibly rude. Anger flared within her, but alongside it

Summer's eyes widened in surprise. What did he mean by taking Kelly to see Hailey? Wasn't Hailey long gone? Was he suggesting they meet her ghost?Seeing her startled expression, James chuckled and clarified, "No, I don't mean meeting Hailey in person. I mean visiting her grave. "All Souls' Day is coming up in a week. Perhaps if Kelly takes Keith to pay respects, it might have some positive outcome."Summer was intrigued by James' suggestion. While Hailey was no longer alive, her grave could still evoke powerful memories and emotions in Keith. If Kelly accompanied him, it might be the perfect opportunity to help him confront his past.Summer felt a surge of excitement. Forgetting her surroundings in the elegant and serene restaurant, she stood up and cheered, "That's perfect!"Her outburst drew the attention of nearby diners, making Summer feel slightly self-conscious as all eyes turned toward her. She quickly sat back down, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Despite this,
