Fred and Norman surprisingly hit it off well, sharing hearty laughter as they clinked their glasses together.However, Amelia and Caroline struggled to connect.Throughout the dinner, Amelia made efforts to chat with Caroline. Nevertheless, Caroline kept her distance, responding with short replies. "Mrs. Quigley, how about we plan a family outing sometime soon? I've heard there's a beautiful island off the east coast," Amelia suggested. "Sorry, but I'm afraid of getting sunburned," Caroline responded. "What about sports? I remember Summie mentioning that James is quite good at badminton. My husband and I enjoy playing too." "I don't play sports," Caroline replied coldly. Summer couldn't stand to watch. She felt like flipping the table. Caroline had always bullied her, but now she was even disrespecting Amelia. As Summer simmered in frustration, Norman nudged Caroline's elbow under the table, silently urging her to speak more tactfully. They were both aware of the sig

"Summer, James has agreed to my condition. If I consented to this marriage, you need to get pregnant within six months. If he hasn't told you, then I'll tell you now." Summer's mouth fell open in shock, her body trembling at the revelation. How could James agree to such a thing? Did he think she was some kind of breeding sow? Furthermore, Summer hadn't even discussed the idea of having children with him. Yet, he readily accepted Caroline's demand without asking for her opinion. Initially, Summer had been filled with joy, but now, she couldn't find any happiness within herself. Caroline observed Summer's shocked expression and softly nudged her. "Did you understand? You must conceive within six months. Otherwise, I won't be as lenient with you." Summer had never experienced genuine kindness from Caroline, and she didn't appreciate her insincere gestures anyway. However, conceiving within six months would pose quite a challenge. Summer understood she needed to discuss thi

Summer couldn't help but notice the underlying threat in Caroline's words. Essentially, Caroline implied that if Summer didn't comply, she would use her influence to dismantle the Charter Corporation. While Charter Corporation had grown from a small enterprise to a medium-sized one, it paled in comparison to conglomerates like the Quigley Group. It was akin to comparing an ant to an elephant. As a consultant and board member of the Quigley Group, Caroline held significant influence. If she decided to manipulate things behind James's back, it wouldn't take her much effort. Consequently, Summer felt as though she was being backed into a corner by Caroline, leaving her with no option but to comply. "I understand, Mom," Summer said. Observing Summer's compliance, Caroline nodded. "Good. Make sure you return to the Quigley residence in the next few days. And remember, don't let James find out about this." Summer immediately understood Caroline's intentions. If James found o

Summer hoped to gain Caroline's blessing for her marriage, so she endeavored to win her approval.However, she remembered a commitment James had made to Caroline when she returned home."James, did you make a deal with your mom?" she asked. Upon hearing her words, James realized she had found out everything. Without denying it, he honestly replied, "I promised my mom that we would have a child within six months if she consented to the wedding.""Do you think having a baby is easy?" Summer angrily punched his chest.James didn't understand how painful childbirth was. A nine-month-pregnancy was a challenging journey, as pregnant women were restricted from eating certain foods and engaging in many activities.Summer exclaimed, "If you want a child, you can bear it yourself. I won't do it."Although she had never given birth herself, she harbored an inexplicable fear of it. Perhaps this fear stemmed from the TV shows she watched or her mother's words. She believed that childbirth

Summer asked, "If we don't take care of our child ourselves and bond with them, isn't it no different from not having a child at all?"You've been alone since birth, only able to receive the superior education provided by your family. Do you want your child to experience the same?"Summer believed James understood the sadness of growing up in a prestigious family. They didn't have a happy childhood, deprived of joy and burdened with immense responsibility. That was the fate of children born in wealthy families.James began to seriously consider what Summer had said. His expression turned solemn. He nodded silently before settling back onto the couch.Summer interpreted his demeanor as reflective. She approached him and gently prodded him with her finger."You understand the challenges of raising a child, don't you? You wouldn't lightly decide to want one within six months again, would you?"She hoped James would recognize the difficulties of parenthood.He shouldn't hastily

Summer was ambitious, and she wasn't easily swayed by threats. However, she relented when James began tickling her.Aware of Summer's ticklishness, James specifically aimed for her stomach, armpits, and neck. His actions made her extremely ticklish. Unable to endure it any longer, Summer pleaded, "Stop, please! I'll agree to have a baby with you!""Really?" "Yes! Let me down. We can discuss it!" Tears were nearly streaming down her cheeks from the tickling. With no alternative, she reluctantly made a promise to him. She understood that refusing meant enduring unbearable torture.James finally released her and said seriously, "Remember what you said."Would Summer fulfill her promise? She had promised James to have a baby, but he had basically forced her to do it. So, she believed those promises didn't hold weight.She cautiously distanced herself from James. "I told you, James! I won't have a baby with you!"Summer regretted her promise instantly. Her change in demeanor

Summer's heart began to beat violently beyond her control. Perhaps it was due to their closeness.Her cheeks flushed, and her breathing quickened as blood surged through her veins.James noticed her unusual reaction. He leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "Don't you want to do it?"Summer instantly grasped his intention. She quickly retorted, "What nonsense are you speaking? I have no idea what you're talking about.""Summie, are you pretending to be clueless? It's okay, I can show you," James said and licked her earlobe.Summer stiffened at his actions; her body was always sensitive to his ministrations."Get off, James!" she exclaimed.Having never been close to James before, she was unaware of how flirtatious he could be.She realized now that despite his usual indifference, he seemed very experienced in such matters.However, the more she insisted he leave her alone, the more persistent he became.James began to kiss her gently, trailing down her neck.Summer quick

Summer's words left James thinking that she agreed to have a child with him. He asked in bewilderment, "Summie, you..."Summer knew James always respected her, despite being unromantic. He should understand that her words meant agreement, since she had expressed it to that extent.She gently touched his neck, trailing her fingers down, and began unbuttoning his clothes."We are husband and wife, understand?" James finally understood her. A warm smile appeared on his cold, handsome face as he gently supported the back of Summer's head.He removed her hair clip and said, "I understand now, my love."The room's lights casted a warm glow. Shadows danced as the king-sized bed swayed. Clothes were scattered across the red cotton carpet.Happiness permeated the room. This day truly belonged to Summer and James.Sunlight streamed through the window the next morning.As Summer sat up in bed, she noticed neatly folded clothes on the table. Those clothes had been scattered across the fl
