“I heard from Gilbert that it was Summer who abandoned you this time? Are you pretending to be sick?” With Samson’s understanding of Jasper, it was very likely that Jasper was pretending to be sick. “I was pretending to be sick at first. After pretending to be sick, I really got sick now...” Jasper looked helpless. “Yadon called me just now, saying that his grandfather is dying. Donald and Rose will get ready and attack us soon.”“Are you not going back to help?” Samson was asking on behalf of Yadon...“Yadon came and looked for me. He asked me to come and agitate you and let you go back immediately. He is worried about letting his wife be with you all the time,” Samson smiled and said. '“Ha, I already have eyes glued on my wife, so how would I have the time to stare at his wife?” Jasper’s face was pale, and he was mad. “He is not as important as my wife,” Jasper said. “Also, I should avoid things related to his family... Yadon became ruthless because of what he had experienced
Azula trembled and stared at Rafferty with a shocked gaze. She took a long time to get over the shock. ‘I am Azula, the famous social butterfly in Sea City. I’ve seen plenty of people and flirted with many handsome men. But now, my face is red, and my heart is racing. I’m so useless.’“I know it’s sweet. But why are you kissing me?” Azula’s mind was blank, and the things she said were no longer up to her usual standard.Indeed, she did not know how to flirt with a straight guy like Rafferty. “It’s just a kiss.” Rafferty scratched his ears and felt a little embarrassed. “No, I must return the favor.” Azula felt that she could not lose her dignity. She turned around and pinned Rafferty down.“We just finished our meal. Can’t you stop?” Rafferty explained his thoughts to Azula, saying that they should not have vigorous s*x after the meal. Azula did not care about this. She just wanted to have fun at this moment because maybe they will not interrupt each other’s lives in the fut
“Summer, Jasper changed a lot. We watched him grow up over the years. As a man, although he is my rival when it comes to love... I want to say that he has grown a lot and he’s become more mature.” Jasper had become much more mature than he was in the beginning. It had been four years. Time passed really quickly. It had been almost four years since Summer met Jasper. The time had slipped away secretly without them realizing it. But now, Summer already had two children with Jasper. They should now calm down and think about their future. So, they needed to consider this relationship not only for themselves but for their children, too.Samson did not stop for too long. He felt satisfied to see Jasper jealous of him. Then, he left. Since he had decided to stay in Sea City because of the Ardly family, it would be better to have Jasper as his friend rather than an enemy. Humans were just this practical. If Summer did not choose him, there was no need for him to make their relat
“Do you still love Victoria?” Summer asked anxiously. Jasper’s head was still blurry from sleep. He turned around. “I don’t.”Summer was relieved and pulled him back. “Did you love her before?”“No.”Jasper’s response was too direct. Summer even thought that Jasper might have woken up and then pretended to be asleep. She covered Jasper’s mouth and wanted to suffocate this jerk.Jasper frowned. He could not breathe well, so he woke up and started retching. Summer stood up nervously. ‘Why is he so disgusting?’“Ahem, ahem... After coughing for a while, Jasper’s hands were stained with blood.“It’s bleeding...” Jasper’s voice was a little hoarse. His stomach was in pain, and his face became paler.Summer was really scared this time. Her fingers were trembling. “You… Jasper, are you okay?”Summer ran out of the bedroom anxiously and called the doctor. Summer regretted her actions a little. ‘Why am I fussing over Jasper? It has been so many years since I’ve been with Jasper, s
But Jasper did not say it. He did not dare say it. “I think I’m recovering well. I just need some sleep.” Jasper was panicking. He was unsure if he had truly woken up or it was just another dream. He could not believe that Summer was treating him so well all of a sudden. Summer could not tell that Jasper was just putting up an act. She looked at the scald wound on his chest. “It’s getting so much better already. Will you feel much better after the wound has healed?”Summer regretted hassling him. She must have gone overboard this time around. “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll cook for you.”“No need. I’m not hungry. Don’t go to the kitchen. Just take care of me and accompany me.” Jasper wanted to eat Summer’s cooking, but she was his wife. Of course, he did not have the heart to ask her to cook for him. She just gave birth less than a month ago. She must not go to the kitchen. “Alright, alright. While waiting for the doctor to arrive, you should rest first,” Summ
“Sum?” Jasper felt even more emboldened when he saw Summer standing in the garden silently. “I’ll leave now,” he whispered as he lowered his gaze. He then turned, disappointed, and decided to move out. Summer did not utter a word. She watched as Jasper left to pack his belongings in silence. Jasper waited for her to stop him from leaving, but she did not show up. He was dejected. He regretted not telling her the truth sooner. But he somehow relished the thought of how anxious Summer became when she saw him vomit blood.‘Am I crazy? Summer is a great wife. Why did I keep making her angry?’ Summer truly loved him. That was a fact that he knew by heart. There was barely anything that he needed to pack. He only had to take his phone. ‘I should go. If she sees me, she might get angry.’ “Sum, I…” When he walked out to the garden, Summer was sitting on the swing. Jasper was quiet for a moment before he approached her. “I love you, I really do. I’m sorry I’ve disappointed yo
The first thing that Jasper did when he arrived at the airport was to check his phone. However, Summer did not call him. Instead, Keane did. “What’s the matter?” Jasper asked coldly. “Bro, what happened to you and Summer? Right after you left, she called Ace and asked him to take her to the hospital to get her son. Something isn’t right between the both of them. Does she really not want you anymore?”Jasper’s body stiffened for a moment. He then smiled bitterly. It looked like one month was not enough for him to make Summer stay by his side. Now that she had made a choice, he needed to support her decision.“Jasper…” Isabella was waiting at the exit. Her white dress made her stand out from the crowd. Jasper frowned. ‘Who leaked my flight information?‘Even Damion doesn't know that I bought a plane ticket to return home. How does Isabella know?’“How did you know that I’m back?” Jasper asked deliberately. “Jasper, I’m sorry… I’m just worried about you. I’m your assistant
“Jasper, I don’t intend to break your family apart. I don’t want status. I just want to be with you. Can’t I just have that?” Isabella spoke aggrievedly.Jasper sighed. “I have a wife. I love her. Don’t you understand?”“But both of you aren’t happy together,” Isabella said confidently. “Summer doesn’t love you. She wouldn’t have left you if she loved you. She wouldn’t have embarrassed you in front of your coursemates. She wouldn’t have…” “Isabella, that’s between her and me. You’ve never walked in our shoes, so don’t jump to conclusions about our relationship. I know best whether Summer loves me or not. Besides, I’m the only person who has the right to judge her.” Jasper was a little enraged as he spoke again. “Whatever you’re up to, put an end to it. My patience is limited. Summer is my bottom line. Don't cross my bottom line and my family. Do you understand?”Isabella’s heart tensed up. Tears streamed down her face instantly, and she felt indignant. “Jasper, I think you’ve mi
“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.
