"It’s my mistake." Jasper looked downcast. He could not give Summer what she wanted most, but love and marriage were based on mutual feelings and reciprocation, were they not?He also lacked a sense of security in the relationship.Just like what Mabel said, he just wanted Summer to give him an apple, but Summer... always refused to give him a bite."Jasper, go back and take a good rest. When Sum calms down, you can come again." Mabel sighed as she turned around and went back into the house.Summer also acted impulsively during the situation. If this continued, the conflict between the two people would only get worse and worse."Sum, you have to get up and eat, you still have a baby, you can't skip meals."Summer's eyes were so swollen. She did not want to get out of bed, but she got up because of the baby in her belly."Sum, if there’s anything, you can talk to me." Mabel looked at Summer nervously."I went to the hospital, and the doctor said that the baby had an umbilical co
Summer did not sleep well all night. She just sat in the office worriedly and spaced out. The child... would be fine..."Sum, come to the hospital after a week for a check-up again, don't be too worried about it, having a nuchal cord is not a big problem, it may be better in a week or so."Benjamin called Summer to ask her not to worry.Summer gave a perfunctory response as she burst into tears."Miss Plath, there’s a delivery for you, there’s some flowers, and… a letter!" Outside the door, the assistant was a little dumbfounded. Who had fallen in love with their family’s lady? Isn't this some cheap trick of courting after someone? Sending flowers and a letter was so old fashioned."Who...?" Summer was stunned, not knowing who sent it."Please take a look, the sender’s name may be on it."Summer opened it and took a look; they were from Jasper Miller...She furrowed her brows. Summer did not know what Jasper was trying to pull."Miss Plath, someone sent some fruit, all of th
Jasper did not explain. He lowered his gaze and did not say anything.If Summer had made up her mind, he would not be able to change anything. At the seaside mansion, Natalie sat quietly on the couch by herself, looking at the night view outside the window. The baby in her stomach was growing. She could no longer go to work. The first three months were the most dangerous period, but after three months, she could not shoot advertisements anymore.She just started building her career, and it ended because of a man. ‘Is it worth it?’Sometimes, Natalie thought that if Yadon was worthy for her to work hard for the relationship, then everything would be just fine. She could give birth to the baby, and they could have a complete family.But now, Natalie was a little panicked. Her fingers were numb when she saw the news headline. “Yadon and a famous actress went and came out from a hotel together…”Whether this news was simply a rumor or was actually real, her heart was in pain
Natalie had just come back from the hospital. Yadon had sobered up at noon. He saw Natalie sitting at the swing outside the window, looking at the sea. “Nat.” After showering, Yadon called her softly. At that moment, Yadon felt that Natalie was about to leave at any moment. “Yadon, are you awake? Let’s talk.” Natalie smiled and asked Yadon to sit down. “What happened?” Yadon’s heart was clenching. “Let’s get a divorce.” Natalie smiled and said. Her voice was hoarse. Yadon’s breathing quickened and immediately stood up. “We had talked about it...” Yadon thought that Natalie had misunderstood him. “I did that because...”“Yadon, I’ve had enough.” Natalie smiled and placed a report in Yadon’s hands. “I have aborted the baby. Let’s not cling to each other anymore.Yadon’s mind went blank, and it was as if he could hear ringing in his head. “Why...?”‘Is it because I’m not good enough...?’He knew that it was all his fault. But he wondered why Natalie aborted their baby wi
At the airport in Country M...“Sum, have you already known that our presence in Sea City would affect them?” Natalie whispered. Both Natalie and Summer disguised themselves from head to toe by putting on hats and masks. “I wanted to separate with Jasper for some time to calm myself down. Then, we can further think about our future. Besides, the baby had left me with a huge psychological impact. So, I thought of bringing you for traveling. Azula is now injured and cannot work for at least half a year. You’re also pregnant and there are only a few of you in my group. Olivia had gone to their group because our personalities don’t match.”Summer tried to calm down and sighed. “So, Wade and my dad asked us to come to Country M and hide. Elly would come over after a few days. We still can’t let our guard down yet. Rose has ties with the Caballero family. If anything happens to Yadon, it'll be the same as taking Jasper's right hand away from him, and there's also Gilbert and Rafferty...”
“Ah-?” Carter was confused. He took out his phone and put it in Jasper’s hands.Jasper used Carter’s phone to call Summer again. “Hello?” A man picked up the call. ‘This voice is so familiar.’“Ace? When do you go back to Country M?” Jasper immediately became mad. ‘This bastard... Was he taking advantage of the situation?’“Ha- Unfortunately, my father is sick, so I came back and visited him. I didn’t expect that... Summer is back, too. Maybe this is fate. Summer and I are destined to meet throughout our lives,” Ace said, smiling as he tried to agitate Jasper. They were now thousands of miles away. Ace just liked to see Jasper angry. “Ace, let Summer pick up the phone!” Jasper was angry. “Sum? She’s taking a bath now. I’m so sorry about that,” Ace replied. “Ace!” Jasper roared with a cold and low voice. He knew that Ace did this deliberately. Yet, he still got mad. “Ah, I need to take care of Sum now. I will hang up first,” Ace said, smiling. Then, he hung up. Jasper
“Miss Plath, your baby’s condition is not considered serious. You just need to be more careful and keep yourself in a good mood. Also, you must not care too much about what others say. A mother’s emotions can directly affect the baby.”“Okay. Thank you, doctor.”Ace brought Summer to the hospital. Before they left the hospital, he took a rock candy for Summer. “You don't have to compromise for the child.” Ace said profoundly and shrugged. “You don’t have to limit yourself by marriage, too.”“I have... my personal reasons.” Summer did not tell him directly. She just thought that she could not leave Jasper because of her own reasons.She went back to Country M because she wanted to see if she could leave Jasper or not. “The earth will continue rotating no matter who leaves your life. The most miserable thing for a woman to go through is thinking she is attached to a man and that she cannot live without him. If she keeps immersing herself in such fear, then it is her who is choosi
‘That’s ridiculous.’“I… thought that instead of wasting time on Summer, we should think of ways to defeat Gilbert and Jasper using the Caballero family.” Rose sounded nervous. After Samson's accident, they had completely severed ties with each other. He no longer treated her as his mother. Besides, she lost her right to be his mother long ago.‘Perhaps I’m getting old…’ Rose mocked herself bitterly. She felt that the older she got, the harder it was for her to be a mother. ‘But from the start, I’ve been taking advantage of my two sons, Samson and Ben.’“It’s true we need to make good use of the Caballero family, but I’ll never be at peace if I don’t get rid of Alaric.”Rose nodded as she stood up. She then spoke in a low voice, “I’ll send someone to investigate the woman and Summer. Don’t worry.”“Rose, we’ve been plotting our scheme together for so long. Are you getting tired of this?” the middle-aged man asked in a profound manner with a threatening tone when he noticed t
“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.
