Chapter 384 Jealous Men and Missed CallÂ
âTsk. Mr. Graham, you remember how mean you were to me back then?âÂ
Fraser kissed her pale neck with a hint of guilt. âMm, Iâm sorry.âÂ
Back then, he hadnât known she was pregnant. Heâd just seen her gagging at the table during their meal and assumed she found him that repulsive.Â
Jealousy and frustration had flared up in his chest so fast heâd blurted things out without thinking.Â
When he later found out it was because of the pregnancy, Fraser had been filled with regret.Â
His lips brushed gently over her skin, his breath warm against her ear.Â
And somehow, Summerâs heart melted. The two of them chatted lazily, drifting from topic to topic.Â
The room was quiet, filled with soft warmth and a lingering sense of closeness. After a while, Summerâs eyelids started to droop, and she drifted off to sleep.Â
The nights had been getting colder lately. Just last night, sheâd slept alone, and it had taken until the middle of the night for the blankets to finally warm up.Â
But now, in his arms, he felt like a walking furnaceâsteady, warm, constant.Â
So warm, in fact, it made her sleepy.Â
She shifted into a more comfortable position in his arms and unconsciously fell asleep.Â
Fraser looked down at the woman sleeping beside him. Heklashes curled like tiny fans, her breathing soft and even. âGoodnight, my dear,â he whispered.Â
The next morning, Summer went to work like usual.Â
Lately, the Stewart Group had been going through a business transition. On top of that, sheâd been preparing to slowly hand over the general manager role to a professional executive.Â
Which meant, of course, sheâd been swamped. One meeting after another.Â
It was only when Summer finally had a moment to breathe that her phone rangâan unfamiliar number she hadnât seen in a long time.Â
She froze, then after a pause, answered.Â
âMr. Lucas. Something you need?âÂ
Lucas felt a twinge in his chest when he heard Summerâs calm, distant voice.Â

have something in mind?âÂ
He wasnât surprisedâhe had been the one to recommend the executive.Â
Summer didnât hide anything. âMy pregnancyâs coming along, and soon I wonât be able to manage theÂ
group the way I used to.âÂ
Lucas went quiet.Â
Heâd thought⊠maybe she was still planning to leave Havenbrook.Â
If she stayed, maybeâjust maybeâheâd still have a chance.Â
But his voice over the phone remained calm and polite.Â
âAlright. If you need anything. Iâm always here.âÂ
Summer was about to hang up when Lucas suddenly added, âAre you free tonight?âÂ
He quickly explained, âNothing specialâthereâs an industry networking event tonight. I thought we could go together. Like we used to.âÂ
Summer didnât answer.Â
Lucasâ voice dropped slightly. âDonât tell me⊠he doesnât even let you socialize normally?âÂ
Summer pressed her lips together. âMr. Lucas, thank you for the invitation, but I wonât be attending tonight.âÂ
Lucas frowned on the other end, his voice tightening. âDid he force you? He wonât even let you have basic freedom? What kind of man is that?âÂ
Summer replied quietly, âItâs not that. I just donât want to make him jealous.âÂ
Lucas went silent.Â
Around 5 PM, while Summer was still working through a few business documents, there was aÂ
knock on her office doorÂ
A second later, Yvette pushed it open, walking in with her usual confident stride.Â
Summer looked up and smiled. âArenât you filming these days? How do you even have time to drop by?âÂ
Because someone sent me. Yvette thought.Â
âIâm here to take you somewhere,â she said.Â
Summer blinked. âBut I still have two more nutÂ

A big day? Summer looked completely puzzled.Â

When she didnât move, Yvette came over, helped her out of her seat, and firmly pushed her toward the door.Â
âCome on, come on. Stop thinking about itâitâs a surprise.âÂ
In the car, Summer sat in the passenger seat, glancing at Yvette, who was fully focused on driving.Â
Curious, Summer asked, âYouâre being so mysterious. Whatâs going on?âÂ
Yvette just smiled, playing coy. âDonât ask. Youâll know soon enough.âÂ
Summer saw she wasnât going to talk, so she sent her assistant a voice message, telling them to hold off on signing some documents until she got back the next day.Â
As for the two remaining meetings, she had the professional manager take over. Heâs going to need to get used to it anyway.Â
