James exuded a cold air and smelled fresh. He swiftly held Summer's thin waist. The sudden action stunned her.After a while, Summer started struggling in James' arms, but she didn't expect him to be so strong. She couldn't break free of him. "What are you doing?" the woman asked hurriedly. "What do you think?""How would I know what you're doing? Let go of me!" Summer struggled with all her might, but James clung to her tightly. Naturally, she couldn't overpower the man in front of her. The atmosphere turned awkward. The distance between the two was so close that they could almost feel each other's heartbeat. Then, James suddenly leaned in. Was he going to kiss her?Once the thought crossed her mind, Summer inhaled sharply. Initially, she wanted to fight back, but then she realized it might be a good opportunity to improve their relationship.After all, she hadn't been able to accept him all this time. Perhaps they would grow closer to one another by kissing and doing

James lowered his head to look at her. "What's your question?""I wanted to know if you…"Initially, Summer thought that she could finally ask James her question. However, they were interrupted again.Luca knocked on their room door and said, "Mr. Quigley and Mrs. Quigley, I've brought something for you two."Summer didn't know what Luca wanted to give them, so she opened the door to let him inside. Then, she saw two bowls of chicken soup in Luca's hands. He said it was for nourishing the body and that James and Summer had to drink it. So, after the couple drank it, Luca said, "Please rest early, Mrs. Quigley and Mr. Quigley. Madam Caroline and Mr. Norman want me to tell you that they hope a grandchild will be born into the family soon."Summer was irritated at the mention of children again. After nodding in reply, she immediately made Luca leave. Then, James and Summer were left alone in the room again. The place was quiet. A glass lamp bathed the area in a soft glow. Their

Both of them stared at each other awkwardly. After exhaling deeply, Summer said, "I don't care. You have to answer my question. What do you think of me? Do you like me?""If you won't answer me, I won't answer your question either."That man! For the first time, Summer thought that James was too stubborn. Didn't he know how she felt about him? So, she said, "I don't like you. Is this enough? Tell me now. Do you like me?""Since you don't like me, I can't answer your question," James replied. He turned around and kept quiet. It seemed that he wanted to hide his true feelings until the day Summer told him that she liked him. After that, Summer scoffed coldly and dove into bed. Since he was unwilling to reply, she didn't need to press him for answers either. She pulled the sheets over her head and decided to let the matter rest. However, she was overwhelmed by many emotions. Though she felt that James liked her, he hadn't admitted his feelings. She urgently wanted to find

Caroline had found out their secret. As expected, a perfunctory reply wouldn't be able to trick her. Every morning after James left, she would enter the room and observe it. Then, she had noticed that the couch looked like it had been slept on. Since then, she had started to have her suspicions.Hence, she had sneaked into the couple's room to check if they were sleeping together. There was sufficient evidence to prove that the couple wasn't sleeping next to each other. Caroline crossed her arms. Though she loved James, she didn't let him off this time. James wanted to continue talking, but Summer stopped him. Even though she knew he meant well, explaining the situation wasn't the solution. Instead, it would harm the relationship between him and Caroline. So, Summer spoke up instead. "Mom, we were in the wrong."If she hadn't apologized, Caroline might have punished her severely. However, the latter cooled off a bit since Summer had apologized. But James and Summer could

He looked calm and peaceful, like a lake. The moonlight illuminated his cold face.He always had the same expression, no matter the occasion. It made Summer wonder if James experienced the same feelings she did. Did he feel anxious or nervous?She carefully said, "Hey James, are you asleep?"She still didn't get an answer after a long while. It seemed like he was really asleep. But he shouldn't have fallen asleep this fast, right? Hadn't it been just 10 minutes?Summer gave it some thought. He had been grinding at work. He would probably fall asleep within minutes of getting into bed, right?She decided to go to sleep too. At this moment, James, who had been silent, said, "What's up?"Summer was startled at his sudden reply. She looked over to realize that he was staring at her. Below his defined eyebrows, his black orbs were deep.Summer thought her soul was being sucked into his eyes. This was the first time she had looked at James up close. He was absolutely enchanting.Th

James was the last to wake up, and he was oblivious to how they were entangled with each other just now. Now that he figured things out, he explained, "Sorry, I didn't mean it.""I-I know you didn't mean it," Summer replied in a low voice. Despite her words, she still felt awkward. They were acting like a man and a woman who had done the deed in medieval times.But she had to understand something. They were legally married. So what if they really did something? Summer shook her head and decided to forget all about what just happened.She tried to get out of bed, but she didn't expect it to be so soft. She lost her footing and fell on the bed. Unfortunately, she fell toward James.He caught her in his arms. They locked gazes as an inexplicable look flitted across their eyes. Awkwardness filled the air between them.Summer scrambled to get out of James' embrace when she felt the weird sensation. This caused her to fall once more.Fortunately, she fell on the bed and not the har

Summer had an ominous feeling whenever Caroline invited her. She didn't know what Caroline would do to her this time. But she couldn't refuse when Caroline wanted to see her. She hurried over to the study.Luca reverted to his serious expression as he saw Summer hurrying off. That was because he saw James, who was tidying his clothes in the room.James was a well-known workaholic. Ever since Norman had retired from Quigley Group, James had taken on the former's position as CEO.James had an extremely fixed routine. He would rush to the company every day at 6:00 am and come back at 8:00 pm. He worked hard like a robot, without any exceptions.It was 9:00 am now, which was way past James' time to get to work. Luca was surprised. It was his first time seeing James slip up in managing his time. Maybe only Summer could bring about such a change in James.Luca greeted James respectfully, "Mr. James, Madam Caroline has breakfast ready for you. You may head over to the company after h

"That's great. Did you do it with James?"Caroline looked slightly awkward as she asked that. She was nearing her 50s, so she felt uncomfortable asking the youngsters such a question. But she had to ask. The Quigleys' future depended on it, after all.Of course, Summer understood what Caroline meant. Caroline was talking about doing the deed.To Summer, Caroline was going crazy over the prospect of a baby. Summer was a carefree person. She really wanted to tell Caroline that she and James had done nothing the previous night. In fact, she hadn't even let James touch her. But if she did, Caroline would probably kick her out.Truth be told, Summer wouldn't mind being kicked out. But she was afraid she would drag her family down. Charter Corporation was finally booming with the Quigleys' help. They had managed to come this far. If they continued, the company Fred had built from scratch wouldn't meet its end easily.So now she had a problem. She didn't know how to reply to Caro

"Oh, we're just going to enjoy some tea and talk to each other. Well-known women will show up at the tea party. It's organized by the four major prestigious families."Caroline continued to ask impatiently, "Why do you ask? You sound like you don't want to go. Is it because you don't want to keep an old lady like me company?""No, no, how would I dare to do that?""Then, you should join me. Remember to dress up well. Don't embarrass me." Caroline made the decision for Summer before the latter could agree. It was like she was forcing Summer.After that, Luca led Summer to an opulent room on the first floor of the Quigley residence. About four stylists were waiting there. They were probably there to style Summer's hair.A woman with straight hair dressed in a long, fashionable floral dress walked over to welcome Summer. "You must be Madam Summer. We're here to dress you up as per Madam Caroline's instructions.""Dress me up… Yeah, I know." Summer took her seat. She watched as t

Chapter 150

Summer got a little worried when she saw Lexi so shocked. Her outfit was way different from her usual appearance, and she didn't know if she looked good or not. She asked, "Lexi, do you think my outfit suits me?""It suits you! Of course, it suits you. Mrs. Quigley, you're pretty to begin with. With this outfit, you look even prettier than those celebrities now." Lexi paused and raised her brow as if she thought of something.She took out her phone and snapped a photo of Summer. She said, "I'm going to send a picture of you to Mr. Quigley. He'll be very happy to see this.""No, don't!"Summer wasn't sure if the icy James would laugh at her for being pretentious and dressing up like this. She stepped forward, wanting to snatch the phone from Lexi and delete the photo.But she was no match for Lexi. Lexi stepped back and quickly dodged. Then, she tapped the send button immediately after. The photo was sent to James.Summer looked at the sent timestamp and felt a sense of resign
