The President's Darling Chapter 844
Raindrops gently slipped through Keith's fingers, and he found the delicate, translucent droplets fascinating."'Mom, how does rain happen?"' he asked, filled with the wonder and curiosity a child would have. He couldn't understand how a bright, clear sky could suddenly bring rain.Hailey gazed down at him with a tender smile, brushing her hand gently over his hair. "'There's a Rain God up there. When the Rain God thinks the earth needs a break from the heat, he sends rain. Otherwise, the farmers' crops would dry up, and we wouldn't have any food."'"'Oh, so the Rain God is a good person!"' Keith said, his smile brightening even more. To him, the world was full of magical things. His mother had always said, "'Good deeds bring good fortune, and bad deeds bring trouble."'Keith believed there were gods watching over the world; they were the reason why humans could live happily and healthily. Some gods controlled the weather—like the rain god and the sun god, and others watched ov

Keith played in the rain joyfully. His laughter was bright and innocent, much like a child savoring a lollipop.Hailey was elated to see Keith enjoying himself. She gently brushed back her hair and watched him with loving eyes. As Keith dashed farther down the path, she chased after him. Soon, they were playfully splashing at each other.The world blurred around them in the light rain; a cool breeze swept by, and water droplets danced in the air. Despite the misty weather, the scene felt vibrant and full of life, like an impromptu water park adventure.As the memory faded, Keith's present surroundings came back into focus. He stood at the window of Ritter Corporation, gazing out at the rain that blurred the cityscape. So much had changed since those days. He wasn't the carefree child who found joy in the smallest things anymore.Keith's gaze turned steely, his demeanor calm and composed. Settling back into his chair, he immersed himself once more in the demanding tasks that fil

Kelly was the same. When she saw Keith step out, her previous confidence and energy deflated like a balloon. She lowered her head and stayed silent.Keith signaled for the two security guards holding Kelly to leave and then calmly asked her to enter his office. The atmosphere was tense, and the pressure was palpable. Sitting across from Keith, Kelly found it hard to breathe. She hesitated for a long time, thinking she couldn't come all this way just to say nothing. Kelly had promised Summer earlier that she would bravely confess her feelings no matter what. This was her love, and she had to be courageous."Keith, I have something to say to you!" Kelly finally blurted out after taking a deep breath. It was so difficult to speak under Keith's cold, sharp gaze; even climbing Everest wouldn't have been as challenging. Fortunately, Kelly managed to say the first sentence.Keith maintained his indifferent expression as if he could sit there with authority even if a typhoon were to h

Keith was a heartless and indifferent man. No matter what others did, it never affected him."Have you finished speaking? If that's all you want to say, please leave. I'm busy," Keith said emotionlessly. The air seemed to freeze. Although they were inside the office, Kelly's heart felt as cold as the rain outside. A chill spread from her heart through her veins. She couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with sadness; she wanted to cry.This was Kelly's first time confessing her feelings. Yet, she was rejected so coldly during her first attempt that she felt crying was the only way to release her emotions.A soft sob escaped her. Tears started welling up in her eyes, and she looked like a little girl whose candy had been taken away. She began to cry.Keith was stunned by the scene before him. He had never encountered anything like this—a woman crying right in front of him, and he was the reason for her tears.For a moment, Keith was flustered. But he was a cold president, and even

But everything that had just happened was real. Kelly stood up from her chair, puffed out her chest with pride, and explained, "I was the head of the drama club at school. Crying on cue is easy for me!"Although Kelly wasn't a professional actress, that didn't mean she couldn't cry. Even without using eye drops or onions, she could cry whenever she wanted. She was capable of putting on a moving performance if needed.Keith never expected to meet his match. Feeling frustrated and annoyed, he waved her away coldly, trying to back out of the situation.Kelly wasn't about to let him off the hook. She had come prepared. She picked up her smartphone and pressed play on the recording. Their conversation was replayed."As long as you stop crying, I'll do one thing for you.""Are you serious? If I stop crying, you'll agree to do something for me?""Yes." These three lines played repeatedly from the recorder. Kelly wasn't stupid. She had recorded the conversation in case Keith tried
The President's Darling Chapter 849
Upon hearing Kelly's voice, Summer immediately asked, "How are you, Kelly? Did anything happen?""Don't worry, Summer. Nothing happened; everything went smoothly."When Summer heard that everything went smoothly, she knew what Kelly meant. The weight on her heart was finally lifted. She had been worried that Kelly would hit a wall and part ways with Keith on bad terms. It seemed she had successfully invited Keith on a date.But it was strange—Keith agreeing to a date with Kelly. Could there be some tricks involved? Summer couldn't help but be suspicious. Keith was mysterious and could be particularly cunning and ruthless. Who knew what he might be planning behind the scenes?Just as Summer was about to remind Kelly to be cautious, Kelly wanted to hang up the phone. "Summie, I won't go into details now. "I'm heading out with Keith. I'll explain everything when I get back." And with that, Kelly hung up, not giving Summer a chance to say more.Summer's thoughts surfaced like sh

Kelly turned her head and looked blankly at Keith. She didn't understand why they had suddenly stopped. Before she could ask, Keith spoke first. "Why do you want to go there?"His voice was cold and sharp, and his piercing gaze was intimidating, like that of a wild animal. Under his gaze, Kelly lowered her head. She knew that by mentioning this place, Keith could easily guess her intention.Kelly didn't spell it out. Instead, she smiled and said, "I want to pay my respects to a friend.""Pay respects to a friend?" Keith seemed skeptical. Kelly had gone to great lengths to secure this second date with him, and yet she chose to go to a cemetery, which was a place for the dead. Even a person who had lost their mind wouldn't choose to go on a date there.Keith found this interesting, but he also felt like something was off. Was Kelly really going to the cemetery to pay respects to a friend, or was there another reason? He blinked with suspicion.Kelly quickly explained, "Back in c
The President's Darling Chapter 851
As Kelly stepped out of the car, she was greeted by rows of headstones, each about four feet high, inscribed with names and adorned with black-and-white photos. The collective presence of these headstones created an imposing and awe-inspiring atmosphere.It was clearly Kelly's first time visiting a place like this. She was unsure of where to go amidst the numerous graves and winding paths, with trees looming all around and a light drizzle complicating her journey.Keith, however, seemed familiar with the way. He retrieved an umbrella from the back of the car, held it over Kelly, and led her forward. "Weren't you going to pay respects to your classmate? Where is he or she buried?" he asked as they walked.His question caught Kelly off guard. Her true intention was to lead Keith to his mother's grave, not to visit any classmate. Luckily, Kelly was quick-witted. She glanced around and pointed to a random headstone among the many. Next, Kelly smiled and said, "That one. That's my cl

"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
The President's Darling Chapter 929
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
