All Chapters of The President's Darling: Chapter 371 - Chapter 380

Sitting on the ground, Summer laid out everything honestly. She was now taking a risk, gambling that Holly would offer her support instead of reporting her. Fortunately, her gamble paid off as Holly nodded in understanding. "So, you were hungry. But why did you come to class without eating?" Holly inquired. "It's a long story, but basically, Mom didn't allow me to eat any food," Summer responded. "Because you haven't gotten pregnant yet?" Holly guessed, hitting the nail on the head. "How did you know?" Summer asked. "It's simple. Madam Caroline had me emphasize core strength in your yoga classes. Sufficient abdominal training is known to be beneficial for childbirth. Therefore, I assumed she must be hoping for you to get pregnant soon." Holly was a perceptive woman, and her deduction was spot-on. Indeed, it was because Summer wasn't pregnant. In fact, everyone in the Quigley family was aware of Caroline's strong desire for Summer to have a child soon. It was evident how

Lexi suggested, "Mrs. Quigley, do you think we should talk to Mr. Quigley about this?" Summer replied, "Forget it. What's the point? James will just end up arguing with his mother." Understanding the point, Lexi nodded in silence. She continued, "Mrs. Quigley, you clearly care about Mr. Quigley. If you didn't, you wouldn't be concerned about his relationship with his mother." Summer scoffed dismissively. "I wouldn't say I like him. I just believe that even if he intervenes, it won't change anything." She wanted to make it clear on this point. She didn't want Lexi to think she was considering it so much because she liked James. She wanted to emphasize that even if James did offer assistance, Caroline's resolve to punish her would remain unchanged. Rather than considering relying on James for help, Summer believed it would be wiser to focus on finding a way to move out of the Quigley residence as soon as possible. She was resolute in her decision. As long as she remained at

Summer picked up a glass of water from the table and poured it over Zach, hoping the shock of the cold water would jolt him awake. To her surprise, he remained unchanged—his expression was stiff, and his breath was heavy. Water droplets trickled down from his hair, enveloping him in an aura of sadness and sorrow. "Well, I suppose there's nothing I can do with you." Summer sighed resignedly. "If you're not going to talk, then I'll leave." With that, she lifted her foot to depart. It was at that moment that Zach finally spoke up. "Wait." His voice halted Summer's steps. Summer turned back. She felt relieved that Zach had finally decided to speak. "What do you want with me? Is it about that bet we made?" Zach swiveled his chair around, his usually calm face now softening slightly as he faced Summer. "Yes, it's about the bet. I spoke with Yola the other day, and she confessed her feelings to me." "And then?" "I turned her down, but I regretted it afterward. When I truly

Zach was indeed correct, yet Summer found herself reluctant. The idea of asking for a favor from James meant she would owe him. It was a scenario she preferred to steer clear of. Moreover, it seemed only fair for Zach to assist Kelly. "Zach, let's not forget the reason I set you up on that blind date initially. It was for Kelly's benefit. "Given the circumstances, it appears unlikely that things will progress between you and Kelly. So, would you do me a favor and fulfill her wish?" As Summer contemplated the situation further, she couldn't shake off the conflict within her. Zach was a promising candidate for marriage, whom she had originally intended for Kelly. Yet here she was, constantly attempting to pair Yolanda and Zach together. Summer struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts to Kelly. While assisting Kelly in securing a job now could be seen as a form of compensation, she knew she would need to meet with her personally later to explain everything

On the couch, they gazed into each other's eyes. Summer wasn't in a hurry; she wanted Yolanda's emotions to settle before speaking. So, she leisurely explored the apartment. It exuded warmth, resembling a cozy home. Artistic patterns adorned the white walls, and cute cartoon figures decorated the wooden table. It was evident that, despite considering this place temporary, Yolanda had put effort into making it inviting. Arriving in the kitchen, Summer brewed two cups of coffee. She then handed one cup to Yolanda without saying a word. After Yolanda took a sip, she let out a deep breath and began to speak slowly. "Actually, I didn't intend to avoid anyone. I just needed to find a quiet place to gather my thoughts." "Have you been feeling troubled recently?" "Yes, I have indeed been dealing with some things lately." Even without Yolanda explicitly stating it, Summer knew what was weighing on her. It was likely related to her confession to and subsequent pursuit by Zach. Si
