Summer’s palms became a little sweaty. ‘Of course, I would be lying if I said I don’t mind…”Jasper dated countless women when he brought her in. She waited in the mansion in West City every day, hoping that one day Jasper would remember her.Even though she was the woman who had stayed with Jasper the longest, she knew that she was just one of the women he dated. She was not different from any of them. If there was a difference, it would be that she became a fool after losing her memory. She became obedient and even more afraid of losing him.Summer smiled bitterly. She felt that in a relationship… whoever fell in love first, that person would be the first to lose. She had lost to Jasper a long time ago. She had lost to him completely and willingly.It was because she was reluctant to leave. She did not want to leave at all.This time when she left for Mountain City, she knew that she could not go far, and understood that she could not stop worrying about Jasper.Just as Nat
“Summer, women who believe in men are too naive. Never believe that marriage lasts forever. Jasper has thousands of reasons to dump you or pretend to pamper you on the surface, but you wouldn't know about all the dirty tricks he pulls behind your back. Are you even able to keep an eye on him at all times?” Olivia said with a smile. She was here to brainwash Summer.Summer frowned with a helpless expression. ‘What a waste that she took up acting instead of psychology.’ “You look like the head of the Ministry of Women, Family, and Community of Sea City. All you do is make peace with people.”Olivia rolled her eyes, stood up, and leaned against a table. “Anyway, I'm here today to tell you not to trust Jasper so much. He has done too many things behind your back. So, don't feel too proud of where you are right now. Someone else might replace you someday.”“Yes, thank you for pointing that out.” Summer nodded continuously. “Is there anything else that you want to say? Listening to your n
“It wouldn’t be good if I get entangled in your conflict with Rose.” Olivia smiled, feeling a little guilty“Well, you can leave then. The door is right there, goodbye. Or you can go to Jasper for help if you think you can do it.” Summer smiled plainly. Her expression remained tranquil.“Summer, you’re much better than Natalie. Even at first glance, I know that you’re someone that can’t be messed with. You’re clever and sensible. Natalie is just a poor girl. You’re the daughter of the Plath family. I’ll never be your opponent. That’s why I won’t be a fool. Just take me in, and you’ll be satisfied with my performance. What do you say?” Olivia said in a profound manner. “Alright, then. I’ll give you one night to show me what you got.” Summer pointed at the tablet on the table. The entire screen was filled with public opinions on how SN Holdings' artists revealed that their corporation had implemented some unspoken rules and they were treated harshly at work. Some artists even persona
“Ms. Plath, have you seen the news on the internet?” Wade’s expression was solemn as he walked into the office. He was a little enraged. “It has been spreading on the internet for many days. Initially, I thought that Chairman Miller would voice out and clarify, but why has he not said anything yet?”Summer lowered her gaze to read the news. After a long time, she smiled. “He’s probably busy. It’s okay, Wade. I’ve already found a solution for this matter.”Jasper finally came to pick up Summer after finishing his work at night. “Has Olivia transferred to your corporation already?”“No, not yet. She came here to discuss the conditions,” Summer told the truth.“What is her condition?” Jasper felt a little guilty. “She wanted to be Mrs. Miller. I was just about to abdicate. We hit it off right away, but… I need to see if she’s up for the position,” Summer said in a profound manner. Her voice sounded ambiguous.Jasper felt aggrieved. ‘Is this my fault?’“Sum, can we not bring up t
Jasper was always affected by Samson’s existence. She knew that very well.When Samson got into the accident, although Jasper did not say anything about it, he did not want her to interfere with Samson's affairs.Even if it was only human to feel so, after a long period of time, Summer would feel that Jasper did not trust her.And it was not that she did not trust Jasper, but one by one, the women in his past and previous trivial matters were weighing down on her, and she felt like she was suffocating.Jasper raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, got out of the car, and ran after her. "Sum, can you stop throwing a tantrum? Let’s talk about it when we get home first."It was already so late at night, could she give him a break for a while?Summer shrugged off Jasper's arm and continued to walk forward. "Let me be alone for a while."Jasper followed Summer. He did not know what else to say besides apologizing. It was better to obediently apologize at this time. "Sum, it’s my mi
He actually really did think about how to deal with this matter.After all, this woman, Rose, was a lunatic, she would always give a warning before she did anything.He was also worried that the news about Little Chestnut's background on the internet was just a warning to him, and then they would act on Little Chestnut next.He just wanted to give himself some time to calm down. "There’s nothing to reconcile, I was not angry with you to begin with." Summer said softly, packed all the food, pushed Jasper away, and took some fruit from the refrigerator, turned around and left.Jasper was so angry that his face darkened, he thought Summer bought the fruit for him...So, did that mean her feelings were also for Samson?"Sum, let me drive you there, I’ll drive you there alright?" Jasper felt that he was somewhat inferior.Was there any other way? He asked for it. Since he did wrong in the past, he would have to bear the consequences..."There’s no need to. My driver is already wai
"That woman’s crazy, just ignore her." Rafferty's eyes darkened a little. "No way! She can mess with anything else but not my daughter..." Summer clenched her fists and read the message profoundly.Rose acted on Little Chestnut and used the public opinion to suppress Jasper and herself. That was something she could not tolerate.At the Miller family's mansion...Watching Summer leave, Jasper bitterly glanced at the lone grape in his hand, peeled the skin and tasted it pitifully. "It's so sour. Good luck to that bastard, Samson in finishing all those sour grapes."With a snort, Jasper returned to the living room. He was so hungry that his stomach was growling.Damn it!As he cussed under his breath, Jasper walked into the kitchen pitifully.He was stunned for a moment. Breakfast was already prepared in the kitchen. It was neatly arranged and was still letting out steam.As his heart melted, Jasper proudly took a plate and sat at the dining table. "At least you still have a kin
"Thank you." Samson said again, no longer as constrained and nervous as before.Summer smiled with relief and put the fruit on the table. "Jasper got angry at me because of the fruit, thinking that I brought you all the delicious food.""He’s just too petty and narrow-minded. Go ahead and divorce him, I’ll marry you." Samson smiled and said and it did not sound like he was joking."We have separated and reunited several times already, and we have tried to divorce many times. Even if Jasper really disappointed me because of a matter of principle, for the sake of the child... I would not choose to divorce. However, if he wants to leave, I will still agree to it." At most, she would leave with her children, but she would not end the marriage with a divorce.This was her punishment for Jasper and the punishment he deserved.As long as she did not get a divorce and Jasper would also not file for a divorce, then all the women who have followed him in this life… were all unjustified.If
“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.
