"Sum, I know a super delicious French restaurant. Let's go and have a look. The environment is good, but it's a bit expensive, so usually there are fewer people who go there for lunch, hehe." Natalie pulled Summer's hands and walked out, and suddenly felt like even the sun was shining brightly.Even if they did not have a man in their life, It was no big deal, they already had kids after all."Rest assured, if Yadon turns out to be a bastard, I will help you get back the custody of the child." Summer said comfortingly and called the driver to pick them up. "I’ll treat you to lunch.""Alright!" Natalie nodded.At Maroon Restaurant...It was very close to the hospital. Summer and Natalie watched Jasper and a group of people walk out of the restaurant as soon as they got out of the car.Summer frowned and glanced at the phone subconsciously, hoping that Jasper could at least tell her, via a text message, or a phone call."Hush!" Summer pulled Natalie, and the two hid behind the car
“My wife does not mind these things,” Jasper spoke with a lopsided smile and gave special emphasis on the word “wife”. Isabella was jealous, then acted dumb and fell into Jasper’s arm. “I know you do not mind this too.”Ivy was distressed and was not used to Isabella’s personality. She huffed, pulling her upperclassman who wanted to scold Isabella and tell her to leave. “I think Isabella did not come back because of Hubert’s critical condition. She came back for Jasper. Everyone knows her motives. Why is she pretending to be innocent? If I was Mrs. Miller, I would slap her. Does she think that she’s some high-class b*tch in sheep’s clothing? So b*tchy.”The upperclassman was so mad that her face turned red. She muttered while holding Ivy to walk forward. Summer and Natalie hid behind the car and felt what the upperclassman said was so true. “Pfft.” Both of them could not help but laugh out loud. They felt that b*tch in sheep’s clothing was a good analogy to describe Isabella.
“Jasper, do you have a bad relationship with your wife?” Isabella asked softly with an aggrieved tone. “It seems hard to approach her.”Jasper did not say anything. He knew that Summer must be angry. But this matter was considered as a special case...His teacher meant a lot to him. At the Western Restaurant...“Sum, what do you want to eat? Don’t be angry.” Natalie asked carefully because she was scared that Summer would be mad. “What do you want to eat?” Summer smiled and asked. “I’m not angry.”Natalie looked at the menu and ordered some dishes. She still knew what Summer loved to eat. “Maybe he needs to handle some urgent matters. I heard from those people that their teacher had passed away. Shall we go over later?”“No, we couldn’t help much even if we go over.” Summer shook her head. She had a complicated feeling in her heart. She did not think that her act was rude just now. That was because she did not know Hubert personally. But if Jasper asked to go to Hubert’s f
“Yes. I bought some daily necessities and toys that children like. Mum had called me just now, telling me that she would reach home in half an hour.” Summer looked at the time and smiled faintly. Jasper sighed. He was relieved after making sure that Summer was not angry. “Both of you came over to go shopping?” Summer looked at Isabella who came after Jasper. “We’re almost done settling things related to Hubert. Isabella rushed over here from Country M without bringing anything. I brought her here to get some daily necessities. Let us send her back to the hotel together later.” Jasper gave special emphasis on the word “us” because he worried that Summer might misunderstand him. “Hi Mrs. Miller, I am Jasper’s classmate. I was the only girl in the group at that time. So, Jasper and others are taking care of me quite well.” Isabella smiled at Summer and was trying to be friendly.“Since you’re his classmate, you should be older than me. You don’t have to be so formal. I’m not that
After seeing that Isabella wanted to get into the front passenger seat, Jasper frowned, turning back to look at Summer. ‘She just agreed to let another woman sit on the front passenger seat?’‘Since I’m the one who is driving, doesn’t she care about the other woman who is sitting beside me?!’“Are you not coming in?” Jasper was a little mad. He lowered his voice and asked. Summer’s palms were a little sweaty and she smiled bitterly. ‘Look, Jasper did not respond.‘So, no matter which woman sat beside him, it wouldn’t make much difference.’“Jasper, please drive slower. I have mild motion sickness,” Isabelle whispered and acted pitifully. Summer was sitting in the back seat and she looked outside the window silently. She was not sure when she forgot how to cry. She had stopped acting like a spoiled child, getting mad, and arguing. Jasper had made her temper vanish and now... her heart was like still water again.She thought that she was the one who chose to forgive him
Summer’s eyes welled with tears. ‘Does Jasper think that I won’t leave him because I’m pregnant now…?‘Or is it me who could not live without him?‘I am the one who chose to come back, so does that make Jasper more proud of himself?’Her heart was so conflicted and she felt horrible. Summer stood up and walked for a long time. She could not find her way back home. ‘What happened to us?‘Was it because Jasper’s feelings for me are fading, or am I the one who has changed and become someone who’s not lovable anymore?’ She reminisced about how Jasper used to hurt in the past. Because of her, he also got injured and almost lost his life. Summer felt that she still loved Jasper. Even if it was because of their children, she would treat Jasper well and stay by Jasper’s side. ‘But, what is happening now?’Summer had left her phone in the car. She walked down that road aimlessly for a long time and could not find her way back. She was in the outskirts of the town and there were v
“Why did you fight with Sum? She’s pregnant!” Melody was a little angry. ‘This son of mine is making me worry more day by day.’“I’ll look for her.” Jasper looked at the time. He hurriedly headed out, feeling perturbed.He initially thought that Summer would come home on her own. She missed Little Chestnut very much, after all. But… She could have taken the cab home even though she left her phone in the car. It was obvious that she had purposely thrown a tantrum. He did not mean to be mad with Summer today. It was just that she did not care about him at all. He was already exhausted from what happened with Hubert. Summer not only was not considerate toward him, but she also humiliated him in front of his classmates. Jasper searched the outskirts of the city, but he was still unable to find Summer.“Natalie, did Sum contact you?” Jasper called Natalie as he asked her nervously. He started to become anxious already. ‘Summer is pregnant. What am I thinking, leaving her at
‘How could Jasper leave Summer, who’s pregnant, at the roadside just to see another woman off?’Sometimes, women and men have different notions. As for Natalie, no matter what notion that Jasper had, he should not have left Summer by the roadside. What was more, she was pregnant. What if something happened to her…? She could not imagine it if something really happened to Summer. “Melody, the steak is really tasty,” Summer said softly, trying to lighten the atmosphere at home. “I won’t say anything on behalf of that brat. I hope that I’ll always be your mother-in-law. I wish for you to call me Melody every day, not Mrs. Miller.” Melody sighed as she gave Summer more steak. “Since there are no outsiders here, let me speak my mind.”“You know that I’m happily married to Jasper’s father, right? I know that he loves me. We’ve been spouses for so many years that it feels weird to even say ‘I love you to each other. But at least I know, deep down, he loves me. Initially, he was even
“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.
