The President's Accidental Wife

Chapter 64

Solomon sipped on some tea before sighing as he heard Summer's complaint and explained, "She

came t o us and said she had no place to stay. Plus, she has promised never to repeat that mistake.

We can't possibly chase her out; she's family after all."

"How can you believe anything she spews? Do you not recall what she had done caused us?" she felt

furious talking about her as she continued, “You guys are just too soft-hearted, and she is clearly taking

advantage o f that!"

"I guess the older we age, the more compassion we have for other people. You will understand when

you're our age," Solomon said as he adjusted his glasses before massaging his legs.

She took a deep breath before saying, "Well, what I do understand and know now is that she’s just like

an annoying piece of gum. No matter how hard we try to pluck her out of our hair, she remains tangled

in it."

Summer knew that her hatred alone would not help at all. As long as her parents condoned Amara's

behaviors, even if Summer were to chase her out, her parents would pick her up afterward.

She felt exhausted for having to deal with Amara's drama to no end. 'We're back to square one, again,'

she

thought despairingly.

Solomon swiftly changed the topic and asked, "What's the progress of the case you’re dealing with © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

now?"

"It's resolved," she replied simply without going into details as she did not want to talk or think about it

ever again.

"That's a relief! Well then, let's watch some TV together to cheer up. There's a basketball competition

going on today."

He patted her shoulder while smiling at her dotingly a s he pulled her to the living room. They sat close

together on the sofa.

As soon as the TV was switched on, Mark appeared on the screen. He looked stunning, and his charm

radiated as he sat on a maroon couch in the set.

He was interviewed by some reporters. Summer reached out and snatched the remote from her dad's

hand. She turned up the volume.

"We're all so very curious as to when you actually got married, Mr. Valentine. And how was it that no

one caught wind of the news?” the host of the show smiled as he asked.

Mark was leaning slightly into the couch as he crossed his legs gracefully. His chiseled features

showed no shifts in his expression as he merely curled up his lips into a half-smile. His deep voice

resonated.

"It's new to me that such interest and attention was given to my marriage. Since I've mentioned having

a press conference to publicize the details, why not we make it a banquet and have it tomorrow night

then? It'll be held at Paragon hotel. My wife and I will be there to attend to your questions. Hope

everyone enjoys themselves tomorrow."

"This surely is news worth looking forward to! Plus, this will be the first time you're attending a public

event with your wife ever since getting married. Next, on behalf of the crew, I would like to take this

chance here to thank you, Mr. Valentine, for joining our interview session today and also congratulate

you on your marriage. We wish you a long and blissful marriage, and may we hear good news from you

soon."

He nodded slightly and smiled as he thanked the host.

Summer had snapped back into reality when the interview ended. She threw the remote aside and

went to the balcony, dialing his number.

After a while, the call was connected, and the sounds o f footsteps could be heard. It sounded like Mark

was stepping out of the set, and she could hear him greeting and bidding farewell to the people around.

"Would you care to explain what you meant in that interview just now?"

"I meant what I said. You and I will be attending the banquet at the Paragon Hotel tomorrow night,

literally."

After taking a deep breath, she mocked playfully, "We were together two hours ago, and you could've

easily told me. It's just a single sentence with a few words. D o you have a word limit for a day's speech

or something?”

"I only thought of it during the interview. Since you already found out, I don't have to fill you in again.

I've got to attend a meeting now, bye."

Summer could tell that he was busy with work. As he was talking to her on the phone, voices of him

and his secretary could be heard in the background occasionally as he ordered the secretary to retrieve

documents. She could also hear him discussing work-related matters such as business negotiations

with his secretary.

Summer was speechless as the call hung up.

When she went back into the living room, Daisy returned from the market and prepped some

vegetables she bought. Pretending to be a goody-two-shoes, Amara sat near her mom and helped in

prepping. Summer could hear them muttering as they chatted on and off with each other.

Daisy halted her movements as she noticed her daughter walking by and asked, "I heard that you and

Mark are hosting a banquet tomorrow night at Paragon Hotel?"

"Apparently. I have just found out as well. What about i t, mom?"

Instantaneously, Amaia placed the stalk of vegetable she had in her hands down on the table and

swiftly began massaging Daisy as she kneaded her back while she said, "I'm counting on you, mom!"

She headed to the washroom while humming delightedly right after. Summer eyed her for a moment

before facing Daisy as she asked, "Mom, what did she ask you to do?"

"She asked me to request some invitation cards from you-she wants to go to the banquet."
