"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 past… 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 school’s 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. “Acting pure even though you’re a whore?”Gilbert’s gaze darkened a little. He grabbed the man’s 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. ‘They want to fight!’“I’m sorry. I’m sorry...” Yone was crying while apologizing. “Apologize to her!” Gilbert said coldly. He never hit women, and he despised men who hit women. “Apologize? Who are you? I paid for this…”“I said. Apologize!” Gilbert said again with a deep voice. “Mr. Coleman. I’m okay. Thank you.” Yone nervously pulled on Gilbert’s shirt, shaking her head while crying. Gilbert did not answer but showed a dreary expression. “You must apologize when it comes to this.”“Ridiculous! Who do you think you are? I paid for this prostitute, why are you—”Bang!Gilbert kicked that man. “Who did you say is a prosti
“There must be a reason when abnormalities happen. How can there be so many people who look alike?” Keane pursed his lips. “Let 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.”Gilbert smiled and sat at the bar deck. “The apple of Jasper’s eyes?”“Jasper was blinded by love in the past and misjudged the apple of his eyes. He thought that she saved his life.” Keane smiled. “Isn't this so old-fashioned? Luckily, my brother identified the wrong apple in his eyes. Otherwise, he might be gay.”Gilbert was stunned. ‘What does this have to do with sexual orientation?’“Let 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?“I 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.” Jasper felt a little puzzled too. ‘Veronica had plastic surgeries since she was a teenager, and surprisingly, no one supported her financially?’Veronica’s family condition was just average. Each of her plastic surgeries would cost a few ten thousand or a few hundred thousand dollars. ‘Where did she get the money?’“Or is it because I am too attractive?” Jasper said narcissistically. Summer was stunned for a while. She did not say sarcastic words to him, which was rare.After looking at
“Chairman Miller, you’re amazing. You sure have a lot of women, huh?” Summer was a little mad. It was obvious that Jasper was trying to think whether he had any relationship with Veronica or not. “In the past, I...” Jasper dared not explain. He was scared that Summer would get mad. Furthermore, she was pregnant now, and her temper was even more unstable. According to his assistant’s investigation, Veronica started to go for plastic surgery during junior high school, and she had indeed tried to make herself look like Victoria. She looked so natural after the plastic surgery, and no one could tell that she had plastic surgery before. She had lived with this face for four to five years. If he really had met Victoria in the past when she had those looks, he would definitely be interested in her.But Jasper did not remember her. Was it because he had too many women in his past?“What are you recalling? Trying to think how many women you had before?” Summer was mad and gritted her
Adrian believed that Gilbert would not fall in love with Yone because of her looks. After all, the apple of someone’s eye could only remain as such, something precious that could not be obtained.Only if they were truly together and had gone through some stuff together would they become a permanent fixture in each other’s hearts. Then, their hold could not be removed. Moreover, Adrian was confident in himself. Gilbert had become gay because of him. So, he probably would not be looking for other women anymore, right?All men were aggressive animals. “I heard that Jasper is your childhood best friend, and both of you even wear the same pants.” Gilbert narrowed his eyes and stated.Adrian looked helpless. “From whom did you hear this from? I only have this one best friend. Are you…? Jasper is a straight guy.”“Previously, you were not fond of Summer, but Jasper, right?” Gilbert asked softly.Adrian’s heart clenched a little, and he looked surprised. “What are you thinking? I’m
“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.
