"Seems like youโre worried about her. When Azula wakes up later, I'll say youโre the one who saved her. Then, she can devote herself totally to you." Summer said coldly.Jasper felt troubled. Summer was getting more fluent in Sea Cityโs dialect; she was even effectively using sarcasm now."I have no relationship whatsoever with Azula!" Jasper swore."As if anyone would believe in your words!" Summer snorted and walked straight to the ward.All of Jasperโs efforts had gone down the drain, and he was back at square one. He had no choice but to suffer in silence.When Azula woke up in the ward, she had a terrible headache. She glanced sideways at Summer as her heart clenched. "You were the one who saved me?""Do you think I look like Superman?" Summer pointed to her belly.Azula looked nervously at Jasper at the door. Her heart clenched even more. "Then, itโs him?"Summer glanced at Jasper and sneered. "He really wanted to save you, but he wasnโt able to despite his wishes."Azul
"Moreover! Do you know how much it costs for the company to train a new person? No way, I have to make Yadon pay up!" Summer became angrier as she spoke.Jasper narrowed his eyes and pinched Summer's chin. "I have a way to make him pay up."Summer rolled her eyes at Jasper. "You just need to pretend that you don't know that Natalie is pregnant, immediately arrange her to work with other male artists, and then introduce her to all kinds of people. I guarantee that Yadon will find you in person and pay you double the penalty." Jasper smiled cunningly.Summer rolled her eyes at Jasper again. "Are you really brothers?"They must be frenemies."Short reckonings make long friends. He made my wife angry, so he should go bankrupt to prevent disasters from happening." Jasper tried to please her."Ocean Shipyard Corporation is already facing such financial difficulty, and you still want to swindle his money." Summer narrowed her eyes. "Believe it or not, I'm going to sue Yadon now and dr
"What's wrong? Are you not happy?" Yadon came out of the kitchen, carrying the washed fruits.Natalie looked up at Yadon and felt things were a little unreal.In the pastโฆ this man had never been in the kitchen.Somewhat a little ironic, yet also a little dreamlike, Natalie felt an indescribable feeling."I want to attend the schoolโs graduation ceremony." Natalie said in a low voice. She obviously sounded a little down."What did Summer talk to you about today?" Yadon asked in a low voice, doing his best to treat Natalie well.He did not know why he could not provide the sense of security that Natalie wanted.Was it because he had gone too far before, or was it because there was already a rift between the two of them? Natalie forgave him and agreed to stay by his side.However, he had also planned to keep her by marriage.But in this way, will Natalie really be happy? And did she really forgive him?Some pain, even if she said that she had forgiven, would still be remember
"I... miss you." On the other side of the video call, it was Elly's voice."Then, tell me that you love me, that you love me the most." Keane tried to push his luck, and deliberately tortured the two other bitter souls.Yadon glared at Jasper, who shrugged. "I don't know who this person is or who called him over.""I called him to come..."Yadon felt that he had dug a pit for himself."I love you! I love you the most, come back home soon!" Elly looked helpless."Muack!" Keane hung up with a giddy look, looking happier than a person winning a five million lottery ticket. "My two brothers, why are both of you looking so down?"Only then did he realize the gloomy aura of Jasper and Yadon. Keane sat beside Jasper without any fear of death and stretched his hand out to hug his shoulder. "Jasper, were you kicked out by your wife?""I just thought that the three of us could sympathize with each other, so I called all of us out to have a drink together." Yadon coughed dryly to lighten
"We are all considered to be scheming against each other at best. He schemed more than I." Gilbert smiled and looked at Jasper. "If two people love each other enough, it will definitely not simply be just someone scheming one-sidedly. More or less... the other side would also be scheming against you, but the other does it to keep you." Jasper and Yadon looked like they did not want to talk. Summer and Natalie had never schemed against them to stay by their side. "Ask both of them to leave. Let's drink." Yadon pointed at Keane and Gilbert. "Jasper, both of you can form a group, and you can call it the remorseful scumbag group." Keane glanced at Jasper as he spoke the truth. He jumped away to avoid getting beaten up and kept a distance away from Yadon and Jasper. Jasper glared at Keane, then looked at Yadon. Obviously Yadon was more furious than he was. According to the family values that he grew up with, he could go around flirting before he got married. But once he decides
Slap!That man seemed to have done something to Yone, and she pushed him away. Then, the man slapped her. โActing pure even though youโre a whore?โGilbertโs gaze darkened a little. He grabbed the manโs arm when he tried to hit her again and pushed him away. Keane saw the situation was not right, and he hurriedly called the owner of the nightclub. โThey want to fight!โโIโm sorry. Iโm sorry...โ Yone was crying while apologizing. โApologize to her!โ Gilbert said coldly. He never hit women, and he despised men who hit women. โApologize? Who are you? I paid for thisโฆโโI said. Apologize!โ Gilbert said again with a deep voice. โMr. Coleman. Iโm okay. Thank you.โ Yone nervously pulled on Gilbertโs shirt, shaking her head while crying. Gilbert did not answer but showed a dreary expression. โYou must apologize when it comes to this.โโRidiculous! Who do you think you are? I paid for this prostitute, why are youโโBang!Gilbert kicked that man. โWho did you say is a prosti
โThere must be a reason when abnormalities happen. How can there be so many people who look alike?โ Keane pursed his lips. โLet me tell you this, Veronica, who is always beside Jasper, had gone for plastic surgery a long time ago, because she wanted to look like the apple of his eyes.โGilbert smiled and sat at the bar deck. โThe apple of Jasperโs eyes?โโJasper was blinded by love in the past and misjudged the apple of his eyes. He thought that she saved his life.โ Keane smiled. โIsn't this so old-fashioned? Luckily, my brother identified the wrong apple in his eyes. Otherwise, he might be gay.โGilbert was stunned. โWhat does this have to do with sexual orientation?โโLet me tell you something, but you should keep it a secret. When Jasper fell into the water, the apple of his eyes said that she was the one who saved him. So, he has liked her since a young age. And all the girlfriends he had before looked similar to her. He had the weird habit of having the same type of woman. But
How could Jasper put her in the same vein as Veronica?โI had asked someone to investigate you for a long time. There is nothing suspicious about Veronica when it comes to her family or education background. She was not in contact with anyone either. She just stole the top secret of the company and posted them on the internet without spreading it to anyone who tried to use it for revenge in terms of business... This means that she did this on her own will without being instructed by anyone else.โ Jasper felt a little puzzled too. โVeronica had plastic surgeries since she was a teenager, and surprisingly, no one supported her financially?โVeronicaโs family condition was just average. Each of her plastic surgeries would cost a few ten thousand or a few hundred thousand dollars. โWhere did she get the money?โโOr is it because I am too attractive?โ Jasper said narcissistically. Summer was stunned for a while. She did not say sarcastic words to him, which was rare.After looking at
โI just find it hard to accept the truth. I donโt actually hate youโฆโ After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. โIt wasโฆ too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.โMabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. โSumโฆโSummer smiled at her and said, โBefore Iโm able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?โMabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. โSureโฆ Call me anything you wantโฆโShe actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. โCan I hug you?โ Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabelโs 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 familyโs mansion. โWifeyโฆโ Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. โWifey?โ He panicked and knelt in front of her. โSumโฆโHe truly panicked this time. โDid she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?โโJasper, do you care who my mother is?โ Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. โNo, I donโt. I only care about you.โโWhy do I care so much, thenโฆโ Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. โI shouldnโt care about it tooโฆโโEveryone has something that they donโt have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.โSummer 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.โSumโฆโ 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. โMadam, stop cooking. Come and eat,โ Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.โSum, letโs eat.โ 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. โSum, follow me.โ After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. โIs Jasper treating you well?โ Alaric asked. โYes, heโs treating me well.โ She smiled. โIf Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.โโHe 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.โโSum, thereโs something that Iโve been hiding from you. Youโve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?โ A
โMr. 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?โโI do,โ Jasper said the two words confidently.โIโm willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.โIโll always love her.โSheโll always be my number one.โโMs. 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?โโโฆ I do.โShe purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said โI doโ, 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.โJasper!โJas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. โI belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasperโs side.โโHe doesnโt deserve it,โ Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding.ใใโWouldnโt it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?โโHey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Letโs spice things up a little!โ The bridesmaids started planning something.โYou guys better be careful. Youโre all pregnant. Donโt stir up too much chaos,โ Summer said with a smile. โSeriously, itโs as they say: women always side with their husbands once theyโre married. Look at you, youโre already siding with him.โ A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. โCongratulations, Sum.โHers and Jasperโs 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 Edwardโs mother because of her meeting with Hannaโs mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edwardโs father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. โAbout this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.โEdwardโs mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. โIt was all my fault.โEdwardโs father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.โI... 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!โ Edwardโs mother panicked and started crying. Edwardโs father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. โIs this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.โEdwardโs mother sobb
โI deserve it!โNieva 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.โฆโฆ At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...โAre you Hanna Delacruz? Letโs talk.โEdwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.โEdward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.โโMom...โ Edward felt a little guilty. โI know about everything.โ Edwardโs mother shook her head. โThis matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hannaโs mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...โโMom, this is no oneโs fault.โ Edward shook his head. In the study...Edwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. โAre you Venusโ daughter?โโDo you still remember my mother?โ 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 Roseโs son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.โLetโs go home...โ Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.โSamson...โ Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.โFrom now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.โ 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 familyโs 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.โTsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?โ He was Summerโs 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.โJasper frowned. โSince he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?โJasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.โJasper, you can just confess if youโre scared. You donโt have to put yourself in a higher status.โ Keane rolled his eyes.โFine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.โ Jasper was threatening Keane.โJasper, Iโm sorry, itโs my fault...โโฆ...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.โLook at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
