At the seaside in Mountain City, Summer held a bottle of warm water. She sat on the beach while enjoying the sea breeze. The weather in May was still a little cold, and the sea breeze was filled with the scent of the sea.Summer drank a mouthful of warm water and looked at her swollen stomach. ‘Is it better to let the baby live without a father?’ These days, she always dreamt that Jasper was with another woman and had their child. She also dreamt that he treated Little Chesnut badly and would only smile at the child born by his wife.She even dreamt of meeting Jasper. Jasper was holding another woman’s hands and told Summer gently that the woman was his wife. It was clear that... Summer was so jealous that she went mad.As her stomach became bigger, she missed Jasper even more. Maybe it was because of the baby. Even if the baby was in her stomach... he needed his father too. Summer’s eyes welled up with tears, and she cried. ‘How much do I miss Jasper?’“Is the water st
She could roughly remember. She shook her head. She tried so hard to forget everything in the past, but now, she was the one who wanted to remember everything. ......At Miller Corporation...“Jasper, David is really difficult to defeat!” Yadon was a little mad. His wife was pregnant now, and he still needed to expend extra effort to deal with David. “If you could bring him down so easily, he would have just been swinging his legs in the government office over the past few years. He is someone who can destroy the Coleman family overnight, do you think that he is not capable?” Jasper frowned and looked dreary. “Are you not having your meals properly? Hurry up and go to the hospital!” Yadon was worried for Jasper. “Recently, my wife has been cooking three meals a day for you. I don’t even get such treatment. Why are you not content?”“Stop showing off in front of me. Get lost,” Jasper said, annoyed. ‘Even the bastard Yadon has a wife...‘Keane has been traveling to Thailand
Summer looked nervously at the two people inside the ward. She still did not have the courage to walk in.A few people stared at her, then looked at each other in the hospital corridor. “That’s her.”They stood up and followed Summer, wanting to seize this opportunity to abduct her.“Sum!” Cain called out from the door. He was worried about Summer.The few people who followed her hurriedly turned and walked away. They almost got caught red-handed. “Sum, why don’t you come in?” Cain could already guess it.Summer shook her head and deliberately walked away.‘I should stop pestering him.‘Jasper will be happier if he’s with another woman, right?’“Sum, are you sure you can accept this? I can feel that Jasper still loves you. You sure you want to give him away to another woman?” Cain asked softly. Summer’s hand over her abdomen stiffened. She slowly stopped walking. “Sum, are you sure you want to let your child call another woman ‘mother’?”Summer’s breathing was irregular
What did Jasper give her in return? He had hurt her and made her life a living hell.He tortured her endlessly. “Sum is great. I can’t see myself falling for anyone else other than her.” Jasper looked at Ivy and smiled. “Mara, you’re good too. But, just like how Yadon had truly liked you back then, except for his current wife, he has never fallen in love with anyone else.”“But I only like…. you.” Ivy’s voice trembled. “What’s so great about Summer?”“She’s actually not that great. Back then, she was just an amnestic fool. Now, she’s temperamental. She’ll keep bringing up things from the past and wanting to avenge me…” Jasper smiled helplessly. Summer was nervous as she stood at the door, clenching both of her hands tightly.‘Well, that’s true. I’m not that great. I’m just a fool.’“But when you really fall in love with someone, you’ll find out that… you want no one else but her…” Jasper raised his head and looked out the window. He carefully twisted the ring on his finger a
“Hmm. Yes, she is.” Summer lowered her gaze, then turned away. Jasper neither said anything nor followed her. After a couple of steps, Summer felt her heart tense as her eyes started to tear up.She thought that Jasper would follow after her, but he did not. ‘I guess it’s true that Jasper is better without me.’“Jasper, I was finally able to convince her to come back. Why did you piss her off again?” Cain messaged Jasper, feeling puzzled after seeing Summer stomp off angrily.‘Didn’t he ask me to get Summer back? What’s going on?’“Look after her closely. Do as I say.” Jasper narrowed his eyes as he replied to Cain's message with a smile. Cain felt helpless. ‘Turns out, Jasper is a fox.‘Summer, you’re not his opponent. You should just give in already.’“Sum, I heard that Jasper’s gastrointestinal bleeding is extremely severe. Are we really not staying to take care of him? He’s having surgery tomorrow. I heard from my former classmates that a senior who studied too hard f
“Mrs. Miller said that she doesn’t hate me.” Veronica’s gaze turned cowardly. “Stop being so self-sentimental, you good-for-nothing!”“Please stop hurting Chairman Miller…”“Why? You feel sorry for him?”In the hospital, an old man was in the corridor waiting for his test results. He rubbed his eyes. ‘Is there something wrong with my eyes? Why is that normal-looking young lady talking to herself?’Meanwhile, in the ward, Jasper looked at his phone anxiously. ‘Did I get too carried away? Summer had already given me the opportunity to have an out, but I didn’t take it. I regret it a little now…’ He grabbed his phone anxiously and wanted to message Summer. After hesitating for a long time, he gave it up. ‘I’ll wait a little longer.’“Chairman Miller?” Veronica called out at the door. “Have you eaten?”Jasper was sad for a moment. He thought it was Summer.“I’ve eaten. Why are you here?”Veronica hesitated and felt nervous when she gave him the lunch box.“You can put it here.
Veronica's whole body was tense. She looked at Jasper as if she could not believe that he cared about her. Did Jasper not hear what she said? “Who did you say stole the corporation’s secrets?” Jasper asked again.Veronica shivered with fright as she tried to dodge his gaze.“Veronica, I know deep down that you’re kind. Sometimes, your co-workers will bully you. They’ll push all their faults to you, making themselves look innocent. I saw all this. If you have any difficulties, tell me immediately. I’ll help you out, okay?” Jasper whispered calmly. His voice was soothing and full of concern.Veronica's emotions gradually calmed down. She looked at Jasper with tears in her eyes, and she felt herself becoming dependent on him. “Rest well for today. I will allow you to take leave during the few days I’m hospitalized. During this time, there are too many things happening in the corporation. The corporation’s secrets have been leaked too. It must’ve been hard for you,” Jasper said agai
Summer rolled her eyes. Just because she looked young, she felt so proud. "Oh, you guys truly love each other..."Haha, was it really true love? Did true love fall down from the sky like rainbows?She actually admired her father. How did he trick such an innocent person to be with him so loyally?"Your father and I have gone through too many misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and painful times. In the past… I hurt him, and he hurt me, but I decided to stay with him without hesitation after everything was over. A human’s lifespan is short, we should do something crazy in our finite lives."Summer looked at Mabel, dumbfounded. She actually did not look like she would live with so much understanding toward life as a middle-aged woman."Are you trying to persuade me to see Jasper?" He was about to undergo a surgery tomorrow."You are the one who wants to go." Mabel smiled."I don’t! I'll eat first, and I’ll bring him the leftovers." Summer said in a low voice and pouted. "You
“I just find it hard to accept the truth. I don’t actually hate you…” After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. “It was… too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.”Mabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. “Sum…”Summer smiled at her and said, “Before I’m able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?”Mabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. “Sure… Call me anything you want…”She actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. “Can I hug you?” Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabel’s family. Her family was in a very scary place. They started falling into decadence in the later years. In fact, they started showing signs of having a lack of sons. Every leader of the family became anxious about who the next leader would be. They were so worried about who would be the head of the family
Without realizing it, Summer had subconsciously returned to the Miller family’s mansion. “Wifey…” Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. “Wifey?” He panicked and knelt in front of her. “Sum…”He truly panicked this time. ‘Did she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?’“Jasper, do you care who my mother is?” Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. “No, I don’t. I only care about you.”“Why do I care so much, then…” Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. “I shouldn’t care about it too…”“Everyone has something that they don’t have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.”Summer lay on top of him, picked up the glass of red wine on the table, and drank it.Jasper just realized that she smelled strongly of alcohol.“Sum…” He was a little worried. His heart ached for her too, but he also wanted to let her be.
Mabel was cooking in the kitchen of the Plath family's mansion. “Madam, stop cooking. Come and eat,” Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.“Sum, let’s eat.” Mabel treated her really well. She helped her with the dishes.Summer was also already used to it. She no longer felt shy. It was natural to her already. Alaric looked at Summer and smiled plainly. “Sum, follow me.” After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. “Is Jasper treating you well?” Alaric asked. “Yes, he’s treating me well.” She smiled. ‘If Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.’“He pushed back too much work to get ready for the wedding. He wants to finish making work arrangements as soon as possible and go on a honeymoon with me.”“Sum, there’s something that I’ve been hiding from you. You’ve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?” A
“Mr. Jasper Miller, do you take Summer Plath as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?”“I do,” Jasper said the two words confidently.‘I’m willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.‘I’ll always love her.‘She’ll always be my number one.’“Ms. Summer Plath, do you take Jasper Miller as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?”“… I do.”She purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said ‘I do’, he gritted his teeth, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her.He kissed Summer even before the officiant had asked him to kiss the bride.She was so embarrassed by the kiss that her ears turned red.“Jasper!”Jas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. “I belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasper’s side.”“He doesn’t deserve it,” Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding. ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?’“Hey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Let’s spice things up a little!” The bridesmaids started planning something.“You guys better be careful. You’re all pregnant. Don’t stir up too much chaos,” Summer said with a smile. “Seriously, it’s as they say: women always side with their husbands once they’re married. Look at you, you’re already siding with him.” A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. “Congratulations, Sum.”Hers and Jasper’s friends and relatives came one after another. All of them would be attending the wedding ceremony tomorrow afternoon. Edward would be there with Trent too.
After all, this matter was related to Edward’s mother because of her meeting with Hanna’s mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edward’s father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. “About this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.”Edward’s mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. “It was all my fault.”Edward’s father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.“I... I really did not know anything about it. I just thought she lived a difficult life. I felt guilty, so I asked someone to send her some money. I did not know what happened to her after that!” Edward’s mother panicked and started crying. Edward’s father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. “Is this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.”Edward’s mother sobb
“I deserve it!”Nieva was brought away by the police. She should have expected that this was the consequence of offending Jasper.Jasper was busy with the wedding and he did not care much about her. Otherwise, she might have gone through worse than being arrested.…… At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...“Are you Hanna Delacruz? Let’s talk.”Edward’s father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.“Edward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.”“Mom...” Edward felt a little guilty. “I know about everything.” Edward’s mother shook her head. “This matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hanna’s mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...”“Mom, this is no one’s fault.” Edward shook his head. In the study...Edward’s father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. “Are you Venus’ daughter?”“Do you still remember my mother?” Hanna smiled and kept a stra
Samson nodded as he watched Rose leaving.Charlie ran out of the courtyard and stood still. He looked a little distressed.He was just a child...Perhaps it was because he had a mother who set up a scheme against him and used him as a chess piece that he was more mature than other children.In the past, he wanted to live. He wanted not just to live but to prevent his mother from setting up a scheme against him.He was still Rose’s son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.“Let’s go home...” Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.“Samson...” Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.“From now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.” Samson smiled at Charlie.Everyone could be redemption for other people, and other people could be their redemption, too.Charlie nodded and ran back to the Miller family’s mansion.Melody was carrying her grandchildren and
Jasper did not care whether Thomas intended to hurt Summer or not.As long as Summer was shocked, he would not allow it.“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?” He was Summer’s childhood friend. Summer did not know that Aiden was secretly protecting her. He was seriously injured and almost lost his life many times because of Summer.”Jasper frowned. “Since he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?”Jasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.“Jasper, you can just confess if you’re scared. You don’t have to put yourself in a higher status.” Keane rolled his eyes.“Fine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.” Jasper was threatening Keane.“Jasper, I’m sorry, it’s my fault...”…...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.“Look at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
