The President's Accidental Wife

Chapter 44

Watching Lily leave looking as proud as a peacock, Summer giggled as she thought it was funny.

'She sure is childish,' Summer thought to herself.

About half an hour later, Nancy arrived looking glum and tired with heavy eyebags. She looked as if

she did not sleep for a day or two.

Feeling worried, Summer furrowed her brows as she asked, "What happened? Why do you look so

tired?"

As Nancy's eyes started to water, she sat next to Summer. Holding back her tears, she complained to

her best friend, "Howard got arrested for that no-good woman!"

"Didn’t you guys talk it out after the last incident?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"Of course, we did! I even asked my friends to introduce him to other women, but nothing worked. A s

though he was brainwashed by that woman, he just wouldn't snap out of it!"

Nancy felt furious and exhausted of Howard, but she could not change the fact that Howard is a little

brother. She had to help him somehow.

"Summer, aren't you close with Mr. Valentine? Please help me talk to him. Maybe he knows more about

how Howard is doing now."

Hearing her best friend's distressed plead, Summer

felt upset as well. "We've only met a few times. We’re not that close," she said softly.

Since everything that had happened was too rushed, Summer had not prepared herself to tell Nancy

the truth yet. She needed a bit more time before letting her know.

Plus, if she were to tell Nancy that they were married, but Mark wouldn't agree to help her, it would be

even more complicated and awkward then.

Summer didn't want things to end that way, so she decided it’d be best to talk to Mark when they're

both home. For her dear friend, she would even beg for his help.

"I remember Mr. Valentine had answered your call that day. Please, Summer. You’re the only one who

can help me. I can't think of anyone else who could."

Nancy looked extremely upset, and her voice was hoarse.

Sighing, Summer comforted Nancy while patting her back. She fished out her phone and comforted, "I'll

try and ask him. Don’t worry."

She waited for the call to go through, but it soon went straight to voicemail.

Summer glanced over to Nancy and saw her eyes lit with hope. Filled with determination to help her

friend, she gritted her teeth and redialed his number.

The call went through the second time. Her face lit up with joy, and with quivering lips, she said, "Hey,

there's something I want to talk to you about."

"I can't talk right now. I'm engaged with something. Bye," his usual deep voice and blunt words

sounded through the phone.

'Engaged with something?' she thought.

She raised her brows as she did not expect him to hang up on her so quickly. Thinking to herself, 'I

have thought he would not agree to help, but that was just s o unexpected.'

Biting her lip, she turned facing Nancy and explained, "He seems busy now."

The hope in Nancy's eyes seemed to go off in a flash. Her voice sounded forced as she replied, "It's

okay. Seeing as you guys aren't that close, there's no reason for him to help us out all the time."

Summer's heart broke a little after hearing her friend's words. "Stay here, okay. I’ll go get you some

coffee," she told Nancy.

She decided when both Mark and she are home; she would discuss the matter with him seriously.

Nodding to Summer, Nancy watched her leave. She looked around half-heartedly, and suddenly, she

spotted a fancy black limousine. She was stunned.

'VAL 1-That's Mr. Valentine’s car plate number, isn't i t?' Nancy thought.

She watched as a tall and toned figure stepped out of the car, and she realized it indeed was Mark.

Dressed in a fine suit with a black coat on top, he looked dashing and handsome. His defined face and

his charms had made people's heads turn to admire him.

In his right hand was his phone, and he looked as if h e was on the phone with someone. Just as his

eyes spotted Nancy, he walked towards her.

Watching as he was getting closer, Nancy felt breathless as she could not believe what was happening,

but she was even more overwhelmed with joy.

'He is seriously walking towards me!’ she gasped.
