“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
“Jasper, we've been divorced once. Regardless if you were immoderate or had amnesia, we should be able to live separately and live without each other. You’re the one who begged me to come back to your life and persuaded me to remarry you…” Summer looked at Jasper silently. Her fingers turned a little numb. “You’re an adult, a father of two. You need to be responsible. You can’t tire me out like that.”Jasper lowered his head as he listened to Summer. He now truly knew what his mistake was. “Sum, I was mad, that’s all. I was really mad for a moment. Can you… forgive me, just this once?”“Jasper, for our children, I can’t divorce you. But I won’t put up with everything that you do.” Summer had decided not to file a divorce anymore. But she could not guarantee that she could put up with everything that Jasper did. They could take time apart, instead.“If one day… you feel that you can’t live like this anymore, you can file a divorce.” Summer smiled. If Jasper did file a divorce, she
Jasper punched the wall frustratedly. He was filled with remorse. ‘I must’ve lost my mind today.’Jasper felt anxious as he lay on the bed. ‘What if Summer decided to leave me after thinking carefully? What will I do then?’For the whole night, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.He brought his pillows and blanket to the front of Summer’s room. The two of them ended up falling asleep back to back with a door between them. “Oh my goodness! Are you trying to scare me?!” Melody woke up early. She shuddered with shock when she saw her eldest son sleeping in front of the guest room. Jasper rolled over sleepily, ignoring his mother.“Serves you right,” Melody dismissed him. She ignored him as she turned to make breakfast for Little Chestnut. Instead of inheriting her good qualities, Jasper got all of his father’s bad habits.“Serve him right!’After Summer was done washing up, she opened the door, guessing that Little Chestnut was awake. As soon as she opened the doo
When Summer finally reached the Plath family's main mansion, the driver helped her to unload all her luggage.Mabel hurriedly came over. She was shocked. “Sum… wh—why are you back?” Summer directly walked into the living room. “Madam, I’ll be here for a few days. Since father is not around, let me stay with you for a while.”Mabel was befuddled. “Wh—what happened to you and Jasper?”As a woman, Mabel was fast to notice that something was off about Summer. Something must have happened between her and Jasper.“Sum, did you and Jasper get into a fight? Fighting is not good, especially when you’re pregnant.“Sum, I… It’s good that you’re staying here. It’s your house after all. But, fighting is not good. You both should talk it out.” Since Mabel was not from Sea City, she struggled to talk fluently. Summer smiled, knowing that Mabel was worried. “Madam, I’m only staying here for some time. I just need some space. My stomach is getting bigger, it’ll be inconvenient to live together
Her palms were sweating profusely. Summer and Natalie met up in the hospital."Doctor, what’s the situation?""Miss Plath, right? We have contacted Dr. Benjamin and heard that he’s your brother. This is the four-dimensional ultrasound scan. The umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby’s neck. Of course, it may not be wrapped around the neck in a few days. At present, it’s still not wrapped around too tightly......"Summer's heart instantly sank, what did he mean… that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck?‘My child…’"Doctor, what should I do? Will my baby be in danger? Will the child suffocate in the womb..." Summer felt that she was about to stop breathing. That moment of feeling helpless was particularly despairing.Summer had given birth to a child before. She knew that a woman would be particularly emotional and sensitive during pregnancy, but now that something was happening to the baby, what should she do?"For now, having an umbilical cord wrapped aroun
Jasper froze for a moment, and glanced at Natalie and Benjamin. "Why are the both of you here?""Chairman Miller, you’ve gone overboard!" Natalie said angrily, and turned around to look for Summer."What happened?" Benjamin was a bit more rational than the two women, as he calmly asked and pointed to Isabella on the side."We’re just college classmates, Hubert passed away. She didn't sleep well all night. She fainted just now." Jasper explained in a low voice, and followed Benjamin to the side. "What happened?""There’s a little problem with Sum’s 4D ultrasound scan." Benjamin sighed. Whether Jasper was being intentional with them or not, his actions hurt Summer.Summer was most vulnerable and sensitive during her pregnancy.Jasper did not accompany her to the check-up at this time, yet was with another woman..."What?" Jasper's heart clenched instantly. "What’s the problem!""So now you’re worried? What were you doing earlier? Yesterday, Sum came for the pregnancy test. Dr. Ge
The child’s affairs would definitely make Summer very anxious, but Jasper..."Sum!" Not long after sitting down, Jasper came chasing after her.Summer frowned slightly and sat on the sofa without moving."Sum, I didn’t know..." Jasper wanted to explain, but Summer's gaze made him bite back the words."Chairman Miller, Sum, I'll leave first." Natalie knew that she should not be involved in the affairs between them at this time, and left quickly.The atmosphere in the living room was a little cold and tense. Summer only spoke after a long time, "As the child’s father, and as my husband, do you think you should not have known?""Sorry, I just..." Jasper blamed himself very much. He just did not expect things to overlap with Hubert’s affairs."Do you men not know how to refuse a woman’s flirtatiousness?" Summer smiled. Jasper could see everything that was going on, and he knew that Isabella was doing it on purpose.But he still accompanied her to the hospital today.Summer felt he
“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.
