But to be honest, Summer couldn't resist. James' cold and handsome face had an irresistible charm, like a delicious dessert that one couldn't bear to put down after tasting it once.While Summer was lost in her wild thoughts, James leaned into her ear. Unexpectedly, he did not kiss her but whispered, "You are my wife. Even if you take Quigley Group apart, I would accept it willingly."His words were like Cupid's arrow, piercing right through her heart. Summer never expected James to say something like that.Any other girl would have thrown themselves into his arms. However, Summer was not naïve. After a dazed pause, she immediately snapped out of it and shoved James away. "Hmph, we are husband and wife. It's normal to use your money. Spare me the sweet talk."James did not respond. He stood still, gazing at Summer with a pair of bright eyes."What are you looking at? Am I wrong?" Summer asked firmly."You're right.""Very well then. Don't worry, Mr. Quigley. I promise I won'

Summer didn't like that James threw the ball back into her court. She was inexperienced in choosing bodyguards because she had never had security concerns before marrying James.Just then, Charlie suggested, "Madam, why not let them have a fight and see which one suits your preferences?"Charlie's proposed idea was to choose the strongest person among the five bodyguards. While it was a good method, Summer wasn't fond of it.After careful consideration, she thought choosing a bodyguard was not just about finding protection. More importantly, they had to get along well with each other. She proposed an alternative idea. "How about this? Ladies, come into my room and have a chat with me. I want to get to know each of you."Her suggestion surprised not only Charlie but also James. Most people chose bodyguards based on their physical combat abilities, yet Summer wanted to chat with them.However, since the bodyguard was meant for Summer, the decision was with her. According to her wi

Lexi spoke with a bright smile as warm and refreshing as the sun. She was the kind of person Summer was looking for: someone she could talk to and laugh with. Without asking further questions, Summer held Lexi's hand and declared, "It's you.""What?" Lexi was confused for a moment, but Summer was already leading her out of the room.In the living room, Summer said to James, "I want to hire her!"James' discerning eyes scanned Lexi before he instructed quietly, "All right. Charlie, handle the formalities and assign her duties tomorrow.""Yes, Mr. Quigley."And so, Summer successfully found her first female bodyguard, Lexi. Although Lexi looked smart, she was slow to realize she had been hired. After a long while, she came to her senses and jumped ecstatically. "This is amazing! I'm hired! Thank you, my ancestors, for blessing me. And my parents ..."Summer was amused that Lexi was so happy to be hired. However, judging from her reaction, she was lively and optimistic indeed.

Summer asked, "What's wrong, Lexi? Is there anything else?""Yes, madam. Mr. Quigley requested that you get up now and prepare.""Prepare? Prepare for what." Summer was confused before remembering what James had said to her the night before. There was going to be a business party later that evening, with prominent figures of Rosseera City present. As James' wife, Summer had to accompany him.Nevertheless, it was too early to start preparing at nine in the morning."Lexi, are you sure James told me to get ready now?" Summer asked doubtfully."Yes, that's right. Mr. Quigley said you have to get up now. You need to pick a gown and do your makeup. He wants you to look your best."The word "makeup" turned Summer's head to mush. Although she was a woman, she disliked troublesome tasks like dressing up.At first, she thought about staying in bed, but James somehow anticipated her thoughts. Suddenly, she received a text message on her phone with two simple words, "Get up."Summer ang

As the top figure in Rosseera City, James possessed immeasurable wealth. Those who coveted his fortune and sought to benefit from him had to flatter him to establish a business cooperation.Meanwhile, James' expression remained solemn, and his eyes were like bottomless pits. He was not one to engage in pleasantries with others. When they approached, he didn't spare them a glance.But most of them were familiar with James' personality. Even though the rejection was evident, they stuck to him like glue.After James finally dealt with the group of people, a mysterious man approached him from behind. "It seems you're busy tonight, as always.""Aren't you busy, too?" James turned around to reply.The man was Keith Ritter, heir to the Ritter family, another of the four major prestigious families. He was an excellent man with a sinister mind, making him a formidable competitor.Keith sat across from James, swirling a glass of wine in his hand. Taking a sip, he casually asked, "James, ar

The party gradually kicked off. As night fell, the lights flickered on, and gentle music sounded in the venue. At this moment, more guests were arriving as well.James was pacing around the front door with steady steps. Although he looked calm on the outside, he was beginning to feel anxious. It was almost time, but Summer still hadn't arrived yet.Under normal circumstances, it would be fine if she was late, but this party was a little special.This party was jointly organized by the four major, prestigious families. Naturally, the four families had all already arrived. Although the Quigley family had sent James as their representative this time, the other Quigley family members also came, including his mother, Caroline.That night, Caroline was dressed in a white mink fur coat and embroidered dress, exuding luxurious elegance. She proudly walked over in her high heels."James, is your wife not here yet?""No," replied James with little emotion on his face, but he sighed inwar

It was just a joke, but it angered James. He glared with fury blazing in his dark eyes, and an oppressive air shrouded him."Bradly, don't talk nonsense!" James didn't speak loudly, but his tone carried obvious indignation.This stunned Bradly. The two of them had known each other since they were young, but he had never seen James so angry. James' reaction showed how much Summer meant to him.Before this, Bradly and Zach had carried out a small test. In that test, although James had come to save Summer, he hadn't blamed himself afterward. Hence, Bradly thought that even though James liked Summer, it probably wasn't a deep affection.But based on James' current reaction, it seemed that it wasn't so simple. James must have really fallen for Summer."James, no wonder Keith was acting so weird just now. It turns out that the weird one isn't him, but you."Bradly had met Keith upon entering the event hall. Keith had been shaking his head and looked bewildered as he walked past, mutt

Lexi didn't understand how Summer could be so calm. She asked, "Mrs. Quigley, aren't you worried? We were in an accident, and I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the party on time. Mr. Quigley might get angry.""If he wants to get angry, then let him. I just experienced a life-or-death experience. I'm glad to even be alive," Summer complained.But she wasn't wrong to do so. If James hadn't caused so much trouble, she wouldn't have had to go and get her outfit and makeup done, let alone get into a car accident. It was all his fault.As time went by, her mood improved. Before they knew it, ten minutes had passed.The road was now quiet. The stars shone in the sky, and the occasional breeze carried with it a refreshing scent. Summer thought it would be better to sit and stargaze instead of worrying so much. That night, the stars gleamed in the sky, looking bright and gorgeous. So, she pulled Lexi to sit down beside her and started chatting."Lexi, when was the last time you

"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
