Semua Bab The President's Darling: Bab 131 - Bab 140

After eating dinner, Summer went to James' study to look for him. As usual, he was working, staring at his computer. It was as if he were isolated from the outside world whenever he did something with full concentration. Summer approached James carefully while observing his study. It was simply decorated, except for a shelf filled with old books that had been flipped through many times before. After scrutinizing the books, Summer realized that their titles were very interesting. They included books named, "Psychoanalysis", "The History of Eurania", and "Official Guide to Medicine".There were books about the humanities and science. It proved that, apart from being an impressive workaholic, James was also very knowledgeable. Then, Summer slowly turned her gaze to James. When she saw him, she realized that he had stopped working. "Were you looking for me, Summie?""What?" James' words scared Summer. After a moment, she replied, "Yes, I was looking for you. I've realized t

After that, Caroline urged the couple to hurry up. Then, James and Summer hastily got onto the bed and switched off the lights. The room became dark. All was silent in the room. James and Summer were the only ones left there. Summer's breathing quickened, and her heartbeat became rapid. She was unable to fall asleep. Since she was young, she had never shared a bed with a man before. In fact, she hadn't even slept next to her ex-boyfriend, Hank, before. However, she was going to sleep next to James that day. Meanwhile, James seemed to notice her anxiety. He said coldly, "Are you feeling awkward now?""Of course. Aren't you awkward?""No."Summer didn't expect James to react that way. Yet she realized that he probably looked forward to sleeping beside her in the first place. So, she turned her back to him. "How can I sleep in peace? Anyway, I can't fall asleep like this.""Is it because of me?""Yes! How can I fall asleep in this awkward atmosphere?"Just then, she felt t

Summer thought that Norman would be a stern middle-aged man since he managed to establish Quigley Group by himself. However, he was different from what she had expected. She felt that James and Norman weren't similar at all. Instead, Howe behaved more like Norman. After chatting briefly with Norman, Summer gradually realized something about him. He wasn't as critical as Caroline and was very friendly.Yet, she had become smarter after marrying James. As such, she knew that things weren't as simple as they appeared to be. For example, when Summer first met Caroline, the latter treated her very well. However, after marrying James, Caroline's attitude took a turn for the worse. Though Norman looked friendly, it wasn't certain if he was as good-natured as he seemed. The family entered the dining area. The atmosphere was lovely, and everyone looked as if they were on good terms with one another. Meanwhile, the housekeepers had already prepared the food according to Caroline's

However, Summer didn't want to have children at the moment. Still, she chose to reply politely, "We will do our best. Though James is busy working now, we'll set aside some time to do it."Her reply tactfully placed all the responsibility on James. Since he was a magnanimous person, Summer believed he wouldn't blame her for that. Yet, once James heard that, he started coughing uncontrollably. He glanced at Summer, unable to speak. Meanwhile, Howe interrupted the conversation. "Summer, don't say it like that. I'm sure you won't be able to have children within the next few years."He had exposed her true intentions immediately. As such, Summer tensed up and didn't know what to say. In the meantime, Norman and Caroline hurriedly asked why Howe was so certain that the other party wouldn't be able to have children soon. Howe answered, "That's easy. Summer still addresses James formally. From that, it's obvious what their relationship is like, right?"His words were too blunt. S

Besides, Summer was wary of Howe. Though he was always cheerful, her intuition told her that he was dangerous. He appeared to be lying in wait for her. However, she still agreed to chat with him. The two of them headed to the courtyard. It was more of a park than a courtyard. There was grass on the ground, and lights illuminated the place. Though it was nighttime, the beautiful lamps in the courtyard made the place as bright as day. Summer walked gently on the soft grass patch. Gradually, her anxiety disappeared. "Well… What do I call you? Howe?" Summer asked awkwardly. Her hands were placed behind her back. "Summer, please call me whatever you want. You don't have to be nervous in front of me. I don't have anything important to tell you. I just wanted to chat with you."Howe sensed Summer's worry, so he assured her. Yet she remained anxious because Howe had a mysterious look on his face. When they had been having dinner, he had exposed her for not being close to James.
