"At least for now, Yadon is serious." Jasper said again before he reached out and held Summer's hand. "My mother just called and said that Little Chestnut has a fever, let’s leave them alone for a while. Ultimately, they have to solve their own relationship problems by themselves."Summer looked up nervously at Jasper. Little Chestnut was having a fever?"Goodbye Sum!" Cain waved his hand at Summer."Think about what I told you before." Summer blinked at Cain.After Jasper and Summer left, Holton looked at Cain gloomily. "What’s it about?""Huh?" Cain pretended to be stupid. "What do you mean what’s it about?""Summer said there’s something for you to consider." Holton's voice was a little down."It's... a secret between us." Cain became timid when he saw Holton. He clearly did not like him anymore, but still couldn't help but give in. "Besides, what does it have to do with you?"Holton immediately emanated a cold aura, as he glanced at Cain without speaking.True enough, it h
Now he had blown up the arranged marriage by his family, and married a C-list star, not to mention, the other party's father even came to the house to make a fuss.The Caballero family placed high importance on prestige and reputation. Doing so could have pissed the old man to death.Near the school..."Stop fighting, you guys stop fighting already. I called the police, and they will be here soon!" The other party had many people in numbers, but Holton was not backing down.After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Holton guarded Cain behind him."Young Master Caballero, why are you so protective? We didn't believe the words from the mouths of others till we saw it with our own eyes. What do you think would happen if this news of your homosexual relationship is spread to your elders in the Caballero family—" The other party said with a smile. "You are talking nonsense, we’re just classmates!" Cain lost a little of his composure. "The old man from the Caballero famil
"You know your family’s situation best, even if they were the ones that started the fight, try to bear with it. Once this matter is deliberately made big by those people, you and your brother will completely fall out of favor in front of your old man, and you could imagine the consequences then." Jasper frowned slightly, as he signaled Holton and Cain to get in the car."You are still young. Your brother intends to not put you under pressure as much as possible. But your second uncle, Bertin, and step brother, Darien, are not meek. They have been acting behind the scenes all these years. The few people just now understand your family so well, it’s obvious that it’s the doing of people around you. They are deliberately causing trouble." Jasper frowned. Only recently did he find out that Bertin and Darien were close with Rose in private.Based on many recent events that happened with Ocean Shipyard Corporation, there was indeed an internal problem.He told Yadon before that there were
“You can leave first. Yadon will be here shortly. I’ll talk to him for a while.”Jasper hung up and nodded at Summer.Summer walked toward the direction of the Inpatient Department where Samson’s ward was located. She felt a little distressed. Rose and those people were desperate now. This was just a warning to Samson. If Samson insisted on going against them, he would no longer encounter something as simple as a car accident.“Hi, where are you?” After taking a few steps, Summer received a call from Rafferty.“I’m now in the hospital. Something happened at today’s banquet. Samson is injured." Summer answered. “Tell me the ward number, I’ll go over now.” After hanging up, Rafferty immediately headed to Sea City Hospital. Something happened to Azula again. Those people still wanted to get rid of her.David seemed as if he had disappeared. Recently, Coleman Corporation was always attacked by other companies, and their business partners had run away because of the malicious com
“Those people must have decided to attack Samson. Call Gilbert now. Both you and him should be more alert.” Summer was worried that Rose was trying to attack people from SN Holdings.Samson always used SN Holdings to contend with Rose and went against her. It was not the first day that Rose wanted to destroy SN Holdings. Gilbert and Samson were the partners of SN Holdings. At the same time, both of them were thorns in Rose’s side. “Is that woman... truly so ruthless? As a mother, how could she treat her son in such a cruel way?” Cosmo looked at Samson with his heart aching for him. In the past, Samson used to have some hopes about his mother. He even tried to imagine that his mother loved him, and he treated his father as an imaginary enemy.This was too cruel for Samson. It was not because his mother did not love him, rather, his mother tried to kill him. At that time, Samson tried to find many excuses for Rose. He always misunderstood that it was because of his father’s unf
Summer left the ward and went to look for Jasper. Ring, ring, ring. The phone suddenly rang. “Hello?” The call went through. “I’m Rose.”Summer had her fingers stiffen. She straightened her body and stopped walking. “Aunt Rose, what is it?”“I think that we might have some misunderstandings. I reserved a place in the Pearl Restaurant for tomorrow at 6:00 pm. I want you to come over and have a talk.” Rose smiled and said. Her tone was extremely polite, as if she was not the one who had been humiliated. Summer smiled coldly. She felt that Rose was truly shameless. “Aunt Rose, I’m not free.”“Let’s talk about Samson. Are you truly busy?” Rose remained smiling profoundly. “Aunt Rose, you’re truly shameless.” Summer smiled coldly and said. “Okay then, tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. I’ll be there on time.”After hanging up, Summer walked out of the hospital. “Rose contacted me. She wants to meet me.”Rafferty wore a baseball cap. He leaned against the entrance door of the hospital an
“Sum, shall we think of another way? I think that Olivia Miles does not have much value...” Jasper still wanted to live and admitted that he was a loser. If he were given another chance to be reborn, he would not touch any women even with his fingers, and he would refrain from having sex with other women for the sake of his wife...But time would not go back. He needed to pay the price for what he had done in the past. “I still need to ask you about a person,” Summer said again. “Go on...” Jasper felt terrified. He was not afraid of anyone in his life. Summer was probably the first one that he was terrified of. He was not scared of her, rather, he was scared of losing her. He truly was. “I heard that Veronica is still suspended from her job. Let her come over to my company. I’ll guide her. Let her become my assistant,” Summer said faintly. “No—!” After Summer finished speaking, Jasper immediately and instinctively rejected her. That was nonsense. “Everything else can be
As a mother, Summer could not understand. “It’s been ten minutes. Are we giving up now?” After ten minutes, Rafferty knocked on the table. Summer stood up and took a deep breath. ‘What’s her purpose for asking me to come here?’It seemed... that this woman was heartless. Bang!When they entered the lift, a waiter rushed in and bumped into Summer.“Why are you so careless?” Rafferty immediately protected Summer by hiding her behind him as he spoke coldly. That waiter kept apologizing. He turned and left. Summer was stunned. She was holding a note tightly. It was given by the waiter. [Summer, you and I take different stands, and there is no wrong or right. There is no way for me to go back now. I have never thought of hurting Samson. Both he and Ben are my sons, even though they might not be children born out of love, but they still came out of my womb. In the past, I also thought that they were just my chess pieces, but as I grew older, I found that I often am forced to d
“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.
