Those motherf*ckers had nothing better to do! Rafferty was very nimble and quick, his actions were ruthless, those people obviously were not able to react in time and were smashed to the ground by Rafferty. "Who the f*ck are you?" When the person came to his senses, he then only realised that the person he was seeing was Rafferty. "It's him, beat him up!" Aiden saw that something was about to happen, so he called for backup. He kicked away the person who wanted to attack. "Hurry up and leave." It took Azula a long time to react. After they got into the car, Aiden stepped onto the accelerator and left. Her breathing was a little bit quick, Azula looked at the back of Rafferty's arm that was being hit just now. "You’re hurt!" "Don't touch me!" Rafferty's voice was a little hoarse. Even if he died, Azula would not care. "I didn’t know you still cared about whether I was dead or alive!" Rafferty drank too much and was blabbering more than usual. "Do you care about me? W
"Rafferty Coleman!" Azula stepped forward in a panic, trying to push Rafferty away. Ace quickly and nimbly pulled Azula, and at the same time kicked Rafferty away. That shot still hit Rafferty's shoulder, and the blood soaked through his clothes instantly. Rafferty took a deep breath and looked at Azula who ran over to hold him. "I'm okay… as long as you’re okay." Azula cried sharply and hugged Rafferty tightly. When the opponent shot Rafferty, she was not afraid of anything, she just wanted Rafferty to be alive. She had always been most afraid of death. She did everything possible to survive, but just a moment ago, she actually wanted to die for Rafferty. She admitted that she fell in love with Rafferty. She had gone crazy; she was really in love. Aiden dialed 999 and called the police in a panic before he approached Rafferty nervously. "Don't be together with him..." Rafferty was still upset about Azula and Ace's living together, pleading hoarsely. Azula cried a
Aiden sighed. “I’m worried. I will follow them. Mr. Finch, have a good rest.” When Aiden got into the car, he gave Rafferty a contemptuous look. “Enough with the act. The bullet couldn’t have hurt your vitals.”Rafferty glared at Aiden. “Do you even have the slightest bit of romantic spirit in you? It’s no wonder you’re single.”Rafferty held Azula’s hand tightly. “My wound hurts.”But Azula believed Rafferty. She clenched his hand tightly while watching the doctors and nurses bandage Rafferty’s wound to stop the bleeding. “It’s okay. Don’t be scared. We will reach the hospital soon.” “Don’t leave me. Stay and take care of me over this period of time.” Rafferty used the chance to try and keep Azula by his side. “I won’t leave you...” Azula cried. “There is nothing between me and Ace.”Rafferty clenched Azula’s hand tightly and sighed in relief.As long as Azula and his child were with him, he had a reason to continue living.Aiden did not want to look at them anymore. He ha
“Uhm, godmother, this is my partner.”…...There was a silent awkwardness. Melody thought that she heard wrongly. “Where?”“Aunt, I and Adrian... want to live the rest of our life together,” Gilbert explained.“Oh, both of you wanted to stay together. Not planning to get a wife?” Melody could not understand in the first place. She remained silent for a while and suddenly responded. “Ah, look at what I am thinking.”Melody did not expect Adrian to bring a boyfriend back because he had changed too many girlfriends in the past. “Ahem, ahem, we are all family. Come and take a seat.”“Godmother, are you not opposed to it?” Adrian was a little nervous. “Why should I oppose it?” Melody looked at Adrian. “Any form of love should be blessed. Sit down and have a meal together.”“Thank you, aunt.” Gilbert was grateful to Melody. “Why are you still calling my aunt? Just follow Adrian and call me godmother.” Melody was happy. She was boasting about herself because Gilbert was now consi
Summer had finally forgiven him, so Jasper would certainly cherish this chance. …...At the Plath Corporation...“Miss Plath, about our collaboration with Plath Corporation, what do you think about this?” Nieva was already waiting for Summer in the meeting room and spoke generously. Summer smiled and shook hands with Nieva. “Since this is mutually beneficial, do I still need to hesitate about such collaboration?”Both of them were trying to be polite. Nieva took out the details of a few artists. “These are the newcomers that just signed a contract with me. If we work together, the impact would be better. I think the newcomer, Azula Blau, is very good. I can help you to guide her.”Summer smiled. The most powerful agent was trying to market Azula. “She is not suitable because she was pregnant recently.”Nieva shrugged. The artists who worked under Summer were truly...“The company needed to control this matter. About signing the contract with the newcomers, our company doesn't
“Chairman Miller, we should sit down and have a good chat if we can. I felt that we hit it off. It's a pity that we’re getting to know each other so late,” Nieva said with a smile and teased Jasper. “Chairman Miller, you know how to be romantic! You’re here to pick up your wife and you even brought flowers!”“My wife loves flowers. She will feel good when she sees flowers,” Jasper said politely. “Yes. Your wife is so blessed. In the afternoon, I have an appointment with your mother about bringing your child to early childhood education. I have to go. See you.” Nieva knew when to stop talking. She was skillful at that. “Thank you.” Jasper nodded. “What did the both of you talk about? You smiled so brightly.” Summer came down from the stairs and looked at Jasper suspiciously. When Jasper met other people, he often looked gloomy as if they owed him money. Even the girls who went to him said he had a gloomy aura and rarely joked with them. How capable was Nieva to be able to make
“Trevor is a narrow-minded person. He must want others to experience the pain that he had suffered before. He hates your father so much that he would harm you too.” Azula was worried. She still could not let others know that she was pregnant. Furthermore, she was carrying Rafferty’s child.“Don’t worry, I will protect you well,” Rafferty looked serious and swore. “You can’t even protect yourself.” Azula still held a grudge against Rafferty because he was hanging out at the bar every day. She was mad. “I...” Rafferty did not want to say anything. He was truly dispirited recently, and he admitted that. Azula felt sorry for Rafferty and did not want him to say anything. “I believe that you will protect us well.” …...At Natalie’s residence...“I’m sorry for disturbing you suddenly.” Nieva came to Natalie’s place after leaving Plath Corporation. Natalie did not know Nieva well. However, as she was an artist, she had certainly heard of Nieva’s name. Nieva was the best agent in
“Sum, why are you here?” Natalie was happy to see Summer. After Summer entered, Natalie whispered, “Sum, what do you think about Nieva?” “So far, judging by her capability, she is worth working with. But her character needs to be further examined.” Summer was not sure. She felt that Nieva had shown up too often lately. “Isabella was her cousin and Scarlett was an artist under her previous company. There are still things that can’t be figured out for certain.”“We need to be more careful. We can’t afford to have someone mess with us again.” Natalie spoke in a soft voice and looked at her child who was asleep. “I am now a mother. I need to protect myself well before I can protect my child.”“I felt that you became mature overnight.” Summer smiled and patted Natalie’s head. She felt relieved and heartbroken. Every girl wished that she could be a princess who would never grow up. If that were possible, she would always be under someone’s protection. Jasper glanced at Summer. He fel
“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.
