At Princecourt Hotel...When they arrived in the hotel room, Jasper pushed Summer on the door and kissed her. Summer’s breathing quickened. She lifted her hands and hugged Jasper tightly. “I’m glad that you’re fine. I’m glad that you’re fine.”“Summer...” Jasper’s voice was a little hoarse. The room temperature had risen a little bit. “Let’s go back home tomorrow.”“Sure...” Summer’s eyes immediately turned red. She nodded hard. During this period of time... they lived in fear every day, but they had never let go of each other.“Summer...” Jasper shouted Summer’s name.Summer lifted her head, staring at Jasper, and replied with a choking voice, “Uhm?”“Sum...” Jasper just wanted to shout for her name. He was trying hard to control his libido. He had never been so conscious to look through his heart. He loved Summer and he always did. In the past, he did not know how to express his love. He did not know how to love someone. But now he understood... He loved Summer and Summer
“Jasper, I saw the news. What happened...? Are you infected? Waa, waa... Why don’t you tell me? You still said that you were fine before...” Isabella was sobbing outside when he opened the door.“What are you trying to...?” Jasper lowered his voice. He felt like scolding her. “Jasper! What is this news on the internet? What did you check for, when you went to the hospital?!” Summer asked angrily.Jasper was stunned. He did not know what Summer was trying to do.Isabella sneered. She knew that Summer would argue with Jasper. “Is it real?!” Summer started to act.Jasper was flabbergasted. Should this be real? Or should it be unreal...?“I am asking you, is this real?!” Summer slammed on Jasper angrily.Isabella gloated and looked at them. “Sum, how can you speak to Jasper in this way? This is not what he wants. He is not wrong. If you really loved him...”If Summer really loved Jasper, she would not despise him on this matter. If Summer treated Jasper like a scary monster,
“Ah, dad. Mom, why are you crying? Can the news from the media be trusted? I will bring back the test results.”“Dad, can you comfort mum? I’m really fine. It was because the person who was holding the knife was an HIV carrier, so it’s a little more reassuring if I did a check-up.”Jasper almost went crazy. Melody was sobbing on the other end of the phone. She was too frightened. Jasper was worrying for Melody and sighed. “Dad, tell mum that we are coming back tomorrow. I am always with Sum. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”“Dad, he is really fine. How could I lie to you? Besides, can you pretend like you did not find out about this? You must listen to me. Just act like you don’t know anything. We are fine. We are just pretending now.”Summer was also facing high emotions over here. Aunt Mabel was shocked and her voice was choked up.. “Aunt, we are really fine. Don’t worry.”“Last time when both of you came back and did not eat anything, I knew something was wrong.”
“That man was never infected with HIV in the first place.” Ace nodded. A sense of relief that could hardly be seen flashed across his eyes. “You should know that I won’t let go of her so easily. So, I am... trying to break them up.”“Ace, why do you need to lie to yourself...” Azula sighed. “You’re the best psychologist.”Azula smiled. She was admiring Summer. She truly admired Summer. “You are always treating Summer...” Azula finally understood. She finally understood why Ace showed up suddenly, why he came to Sea City and why... he was always controlling everything like God.He only had a motive since the beginning. That was... to treat Summer. “You’re smart.” Ace smiled. He stood up and looked outside the window. He... did do this for Summer.“If I can’t have her, then I should let her stay healthy and safe, and let her live like a normal person.”This was the reason for everything that he had done. Since the beginning, he never really wanted to trap Summer. For Ace, lo
At Sea City Hospital...“Nat, let’s go home. Can we go home?” In the corridor, Yadon got closer to Natalie carefully. “Get lost!“I asked you to get lost!”Natalie shouted agitatedly. Her eyes were red-rimmed. “Yadon, get lost, I don’t want to see you...”“Nat, please listen to my explanation. I can explain this...” Yadon panicked.“Yadon… Since the beginning, our relationship has not been equal. You always think that I am one of your options, right?” Natalie’s vision was blurry and her voice was trembling. “Yadon, stop agitating Nat. Please leave.” Natalie’s mother cried and begged Yadon to leave.Yadon’s fingers were trembling. “Nat, can you go back home with me…?”“Get lost!”“Mr. Caballero, the patient’s condition is unstable now. Please leave first.”After seeing Natalie’s emotional outburst and knowing she had a tendency to hurt herself, the doctors and nurses stopped Natalie and asked Yadon to leave first.Yadon was worrying for Natalie. He turned back numbly and l
‘If living in torment means being able to give Yadon a good life, I’ll live my life in torment, then.‘Even if I’m badly battered and my body is full of wounds, I still have Yadon, right?‘It won’t be too late for me to escape if Yadon doesn't love me anymore some day.’“Nat, eat something. Your father… refused to meet you, but he cooked delicious food for you.” Natalie’s mother sat by the window. Her heart ached as her eyes grew teary. “What evil deeds have our family committed to deserve this?”“What kind of emotion did my aunt feel when she jumped off the building with her two children without hesitation?” Natalie’s voice was hoarse as she spoke again. “She was pregnant with twins. She might not have committed suicide on a whim if her husband and the father of her children was still partially in love with her.”Natalie did not know what happened back then. ‘Why did Uncle Trevor plan everything and wanted to avenge everyone in such a frenzy? Is my aunt’s death related to him?’
At Miller Corporation… “Chairman Miller, we’ve found some clues about the matter you asked us to investigate,” the assistant whispered.Jasper nodded and reached out to take the file. “He used to be a manager of a small department in Coleman Corporation. Why did he have such great personal connections?”“He’s good at manipulating people’s emotions.” The assistant was astonished at the trick Trevor used. The manager from the marketing department had been working in Miller Corporation for more than a decade. He was a loyal senior employee. Unfortunately, Trevor took advantage of his strong desire to send his daughter to study abroad and made him leak the corporation’s internal information. Trevor targeted him because this department played a huge role in a corporation. It also had the largest contact lists of its clients. “No wonder.” Jasper smiled coldly. “Years back, this man was pretty capable of being able to work in Coleman Corporation. He met his wife, Eira, at the univer
“Why did Aunt Eira commit suicide?”The atmosphere in the ward turned solemn. Trevor did not speak for a long time as he clenched both of his hands. “I heard that she was still pregnant at that time. Why did she…” Natalie mentioned deliberately. Trevor’s hands quivered as he continued to stay silent. “If I were her, even if my husband has an affair, or he doesn’t care about me, or my working environment is unpleasant, I will never have the heart to jump off the building with my children. They have the right to be born and experience the beautiful world. No one can take their rights from them, not even their mother.”Trevor narrowed his eyes and chuckled. “Natalie, if you meet your aunt one day, help me ask her why she acted so selfishly. Why did she bring the children with her and leave me here all alone?”“I think you should ask her this yourself. I’m an outsider, after all,” Natalie said in a low voice. There was no hint of fear in her gaze. She was not trying to provoke
“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.
