The President's Darling Chapter 46
"A heart of steel?" Summer was stunned, not understanding Bradly's words.When she thought about it, she figured that Bradly was referring to James.From day one, she noticed that James never smiled. It was always that same old deadpan expression on his face and that cold disposition. Not to mention that he was a man of few words.If she had never interacted with him, she would've thought that he was a robot.However, based on how Bradly described James, it was possible that there was more. It wasn't as simple as not smiling."Mr. Hayes, you sound very surprised that he's married.""I am! He has never shown interest in women since the day we met each other. I took him to clubs, but he only drinks. He doesn't touch the ladies," he responded with certainty.Summer couldn't understand how he could say that with confidence. When she gave it a thought, she sensed something off.Perhaps James had a secret kept untold?She wondered, "Is James really devoid of sexual desire? Or is h

Bradly's fingers caressed Summer's hair. A meaningful smile smeared across his lips. "A long time ago, I wondered why Jamie didn't show interest in women. Sexual desires drive humans inherently. "As long as one is a man, they should be attracted to women. That was why we once assumed that he was devoid of sexual desire. "But it seems like things weren't as we thought they were …"His eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised her chin.Not giving him the chance to take advantage of her, she slapped his hand away. "What are you doing?""You're the first to reject me, Summer." He paused before turning around. His back appeared quite lonely for some reason. "Don't worry. I will never do bad things to you. You're my friend's wife. I'm just thinking of using you to test him since you could be the breaking point.""Test him?" The way Bradly worded it was weird."Yeah, I wanna test him. I wanna test if he really likes you or simply thinks of you as a useful tool. After all, he's press

James' feelings and intention of using Summer as a tool had nothing to do with her.She was grateful that he helped her out, and as a repayment of his favor, she became his wife.If he genuinely liked her, it would be better, but if he turned out to be devoid of sexual desire, it wouldn't be bad to maintain as a married couple, too.However, that was what Bradly wanted.Frustrated, he flung his hair and sighed. "Summer, we are curious about what's on James' mind. You can be the key to making him open up to people."She didn't care about being the key to making James open up to people, but she definitely sensed something fishy.Bradly kept using first-person plural pronouns when he mentioned the test. That meant there were other people behind this, too!"How many are there?""What?" he questioned back."You said 'We.' I bet you're not the only person who wants to know the answer to your question. There are more." She hit right at the bulls-eye.Only then did he realize that it

A kidnap?Summer couldn't figure out what was going on. In retrospect, Bradly covered her mouth and nose with a cloth, and her memories cut off thereafter.He might have something to do with this, but she couldn't see him anywhere. "Where's Bradly?""He went off to buy something for you in case you're hungry."She asked again, "Who are you? What are you trying to do to me?""Zach Myers is the name. This is just a simple test. Please put up with us for a bit."Frantic, she felt that this wasn't any simple test. They actually tied her up so firmly!Escaping out of there was the first thing that came across her mind, but it was out of the question.The rope wrapping around her was thick, and there were bodyguards. It was impossible to get out of here.The more anxious she was, the quieter she became. Since she couldn't go anywhere, she might as well observe the other party."A simple test, huh? Tell me about it."Zach gladly shared the details. "It's to kidnap you. If James l

It turned out there was another person behind this!Summer didn't know who Keith was, but that name sounded familiar. She just couldn't remember the face at the moment.At the same time, a voice of an icy tone resounded.A good-looking man showed up in front of Summer. Judging from his features, she guessed that he was a foreigner. His cold disposition was totally different from that of James'.James' cold demeanor was merely directed at strangers, but this man brought the meaning of "destruction" to life. His eyes were so dangerously mesmerizing that they could draw someone into the abyss.Zach and Bradly greeted simultaneously, "You're here, Keith."That was the person who came up with this plan!Summer thought that she was in a game; after beating off those minions, she finally confronted the final-round boss. Keith was literally a living monster due to his intimidating aura.However, it didn't scare her because he was also human. There was nothing to be afraid of.Sh

Summer thought, "How could that Keith guy degrade me like that? What does he mean by James wouldn't come for a woman like me? As if I'm a toy that can be discarded at any time!"Bradly returned, a little out of breath. "Keith's gone. He doesn't seem to be curious about the outcome."Zach said, "Maybe he's disappointed by the outcome. He's as busy as Jamie. I bet Keith didn't want to waste his time on this. But I think Jamie might come."He was holding onto some anticipation regarding the outcome. Like a lost person in the darkness, he was waiting for the ray of light to shine on him.Later on, Bradly sent an anonymous message to James, requesting him to show up at 8 pm.It was 7:45 pm when the contract signing activity between Quigley Group and Westor Group was going on.Summer wondered if James was on his way here.The two men didn't appear nervous at all. They chatted while eating on the bed while Summer was annoyed.She could only watch them enjoy dinner while shrinking hers

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

"James, are you stupid? Why did you suddenly leave when the meeting is so important?" said Summer, somewhat annoyed."Because of you," he replied."I … Even if anything were to happen to me, you shouldn't have come. After all, I'm just your trophy wife," Summer complained coquettishly.She then added, "And don't bother acting anymore. I can see through you."After talking with Bradly, Summer learned that James' family was pressuring him, especially his mother, Caroline, who was eager for him to settle down and start a family.Reflecting on it now, Summer realized why James had married her. His declarations of love were all fake. He had deliberately created illusions to make her believe he liked her so that she would willingly enter into the marriage.James remained silent as usual, seemingly uninterested in explaining anything.In truth, he did not want to explain to her. If Summer felt he did not genuinely like her, what was the point of explaining? Over time, he would slow
