Semua Bab The President's Darling: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Zach and Bradly were both stunned to see James appear. They never expected this cold-hearted man to actually come over.When they were playing poker just now, both of them assumed that James would not come. They were prepared to play a bit longer and then send Summer back, but James had already arrived.The poker cards slipped from Bradly's hand and scattered on the ground. He then forced a smile and said, "James, you're here. How about … we play poker together?"James remained silent. His eagle-like gaze swept over Zach and Bradly before settling on the somewhat bewildered Summer. Guessing how things had turned out, he thought these people must have conspired to act out this scene. He felt angry but managed to control himself.Taking a step forward, James came to the bedside and carried Summer in his arms. He then stepped over the threshold to leave the place and put her in the car.The black car weaved through the city roads under the howling wind. At this moment, there were

The living room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Without anyone else there, the air felt a bit chilly. Finally, James said, "I was punishing them."Puzzled, Summer asked, "Punishing? Punishing them for what?""For not protecting you properly."Summer realized he was referring to the incident when Bradly took her away. However, this had nothing to do with Charlie and Connor, as they had insisted on staying to protect her. It was her insistence that made the two brothers leave."It's not their fault; it's mine. I was the one who asked them to leave, which allowed Bradly to take me away," she explained before pausing for a moment.Then, with an eager expression, she added, "Besides, nothing significant happened, and I managed to come back safely."The scene of Charlie and Connor lashing out at each other replayed in Summer's mind. She shuddered at the gruesome scene of both of them covered in blood, not understanding why James would resort to such brutality.Turni

"There's nothing to worry about. My brother and I have undergone training. These minor injuries will recover quickly.""It's good if you can recover, but James is too ruthless. I think you should stay away from him. "That kind of malicious boss will sooner or later take your lives," said Summer, offering her heartfelt advice.A superior who would resort to violence at the drop of a hat was as terrifying as an executioner.However, Charlie began defending James. He said, "Mr. Quigley is a good man, and we deserved the punishment."Summer was puzzled as to why Charlie was still speaking up for James even after being punished by him. She began to doubt if Charlie was mentally ill."How is he a good man? He's cold and cruel!" exclaimed Summer.She rarely spoke ill of others, but the scene from last night was unforgettable. In any case, her impression of James had plummeted.Seeing that Summer had misunderstood, Charlie explained, "Mr. Quigley is just strict. He wants us to bec

Summer suddenly found herself in a dilemma. In theory, she married a good husband, so why was she conflicted? Was it because she and James did not have any feelings yet?While she was lost in her thoughts, Jeannine suddenly said something that almost made her stumble."Since you two are already married, when are you going to have a child?""Mom!" Summer exclaimed, her face all blushed.They had only been together for a short time, and now they were expected to have a child. Besides, they had not even kissed yet, so how could they rush into such matters?Jeannine smiled faintly and said, "My daughter, you're usually so bold and daring. Why become shy when it comes to this? "Anyway, you're already married, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about.""This matter can't be rushed.""Yes, yes. No rush. I'm not pressuring you either," said Jeannine.She was not being pushy. Instead, she held that Summer should decide when she was ready. If she wanted to have a child, she could,

Summer chose to attend Gianna's party looking beautiful.The black gown gracefully trailed behind Summer as she walked in a pair of delicate heels. When she stepped out, a black car had already parked in front of the house.Charlie, seated in the driver's seat, said, "Madam, I'll drive you to the party."Summer did not refuse the offer. There was a bit of distance from her parents' home to the destination, and having someone drop her off was more convenient.Despite this, a mild disquiet enveloped her. It had nothing to do with Gianna. Rather, it stemmed from different concerns. Perhaps it was because she sensed that something was about to transpire.Shaking off these thoughts, Summer gestured for Charlie to drive.Gianna's residence stood as a lavish villa adorned with an Eblicean-style design. It was situated in the vibrant downtown area. Its exterior exuded a sense of grandeur and opulence, resembling a luxury hotel.Such magnificence was to be expected, given the Hardy famil
