The President's Accidental Wife

Chapter 40

Stunned for a moment, she greeted her as she regained her senses, "Hi, mom."

Yvette furrowed her brows as she heard the greeting. I t made her feel uneasy as she did not like what

she used to address her.

Taking in her appearance and clothing, "You just got u p?"

Embarrassed, Summer quickly tucked in the loose strands behind her ears and murmured, "Yes," while

nodding.

Throwing her a few glances, Yvette did not say anything else other than noting the time, "It's 7:30 a.m.

Summer knew what Yvette was implying to, but didn’t dare to say anything further.

Walking past her, Yvette looked around the living room and sat on the couch, "Where is Mark?"

"He had already left for work," she replied while getting her a glass of water.

"Isn't there any coffee?" Yvette questioned as she watched Summer.

Putting the cup down, Summer looked around and said, "Sorry mom, there's only wine and alcohol

here."

"It's fine then," Yvette said and leaned in her seat. "I actually came to tell you something."

Summer wondered what the news could be about.

"It's almost the new year’s in a few days, and I want both of you to move into the Valentine mansion,"

stated Yvette.

'Moving into the Valentine mansion?!’ Summer gasped to herself.

She could not believe her ears. She could hear her heart pounding anxiously as she felt uneasy with

the news.

She knew grandpa Gordon did not fancy her, and this woman who was only her mother-in-law on paper

would not go easy on her if they were to live together i n the Valentine mansion. 'How would I survive?'

she pondered.

As much as she wanted to, she could not turn Yvette down directly. So, instead, she tried to go around

it," Mom, I think it's best if I discuss it with Mark first later when he comes home."

No clear answer was given. She thought it was best to let Mark decide and take the blame if anything

happened, 'It wouldn't be a big deal for him, anyways.'

Dissatisfied with her decision, Yvette barked, "What d o you mean by that? Do you not want to live with

me?"

Panicked, she said, "No! That’s not what I meant, mom!"

"If that's not the case, then I take it that you have agreed with moving in. Quickly pack your things, and

I'll inform the driver to pick you up in the afternoon,” she exclaimed while piercing at Summer with her

eyes.

"Mom, I still think we have to let Mark know about this. I'll give him a call and-"

Before Summer could finish her sentence, Yvette was standing in front of her, "I'll phone him and tell

him instead. You can go pack."

Without leaving any room for discussion, Yvette turned and left the house.

After sending her off, Summer felt distressed, thinking, 'This mother-in-law sure is hard to deal with! I

As ordered, she packed some of their belongings and moved into the Valentine mansion. As soon as

she was there, she felt surrounded by gloom.

So, after getting herself together, she decided to head back to school to visit her students and help

overlook their exams as she remembered that it was the last day of their final year examination.

By afternoon, all the papers were done, and since she did not have to grade the papers, she was done

for the day as well.

'The winter break will be starting tomorrow huh,' she noted to herself.

As she was tidying up her desk in the office, Nancy came over, "Hey girl, let's go shopping together

afterwards! They’re having a big sale now at the mall."

"Yeah, let's-wait no, I can’t. I'm sorry,” Summer answered. While she wanted to hang out with Nancy,

she thought of how displeased Yvette would be, so she turned the invitation down.

Without prying, Nancy soon left by herself.

Summer sighed when she saw the Valentine family car waiting for her as she was leaving the campus.

Feeling defeated, she went over and got in.
