Benjamin looked out of his office and ensured no one was around before he turned and faced Natalie. “Take the medicine that the director of the internal department has prescribed you, but don’t eat it.”Natalie was stunned for a moment. In the medical records, Benjamin wrote that she had gastritis and gastrointestinal bleeding. “Why can’t she eat the medicine?” Summer was a little puzzled. “Because she’s not sick.” Benjamin chuckled before speaking again. “Don’t make a scene, but you’re pregnant. Don’t take any medicines in the near future. Come here regularly for check-ups. I'll arrange them for you.”Natalie stood up instantly. Her vision was a little blurry. She almost dropped the things she was holding.Summer looked at Benjamin in shock. “Benjamin, have you been overstressed recently?”‘He must have a screw loose.’“Natalie only had a miscarriage. Even though she did not pass the screening test, her uterus is actually fine. Trevor is the one who wants to remove it. He wan
Summer nodded and let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Benjamin was here.But Summer was a little worried. She wondered what had happened to Aaron.......There was a strong stench of blood at a dim underground warehouse…Aaron’s whole body was beaten all over, but he refused to give in."You’re a stubborn one. No one cares about you anymore. If we just kill you now, no one will know."Aaron laughed and spat.He was inevitably beaten up in exchange for doing so."Stop, don't kill him. It'll be not easy to explain to our boss if we killed him." These people went out to smoke, thinking that Aaron must have no strength to retaliate now.After they were gone, Aaron sneered and worked on breaking free of the ropes that bound him.When the ropes became loose, Aaron took a deep breath, picked up a bat on the ground, went out, and smashed those people’s heads.Those were not Aaron's opponents, so they ran away and escaped.They looked at Aaron in horror. This man had been trap
"Let’s sleep." After Jasper took a shower, he was afraid that Summer would be too tired, so he asked her to go to bed first. "Someone called you, who’s that?" Summer pretended to ask casually. Jasper wiped his hair dry and glanced at the phone. "Oh, a former friend." After speaking, Jasper walked out of the bedroom, looking as if there was something on his mind. Summer felt a little uncomfortable. She just snorted and ignored it. She lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after. On the balcony, Jasper called back with his mobile phone, but for a long time, there was no answer. Jasper frowned and had a ghastly expression on his face. It was late at night, and Summer fell asleep. Awakened by a nightmare, when Summer woke up to go to the toilet, her bedside was empty. Obviously, Jasper never came back to sleep. Looking at the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Was there something on Jasper’s mind? After coming out of the bathroom, Summer walked out of th
After taking a shower, Yadon skillfully went under the sheets and wanted to ask for more intimacy. "Yadon! How old are you? Can you let me have a good rest?" Natalie could not tell Yadon that she was pregnant, and she still could not at this moment, but Yadon wanted to do it everyday... Even Natalie herself felt embarrassed. Yadon realized things were getting serious. His wife was not letting him touch her! "Do you have another man..." Yadon asked in a low voice, full of grievance. "Yadon, don't be silly, I'm just tired, Danny has been crying for the entire day today." Yadon let out a sigh of relief. "Really?" "Yeah." Natalie nodded. "Okay, then I will hug you to sleep." Turning off the light, Natalie's gaze drifted a little, as if she was dreaming. ...... At the Sea City's apartment for medical professionals… Benjamin left work alone and went home alone. He seemed to have lost his soul and was not very used to such a life. As his fingers trembled to open the
"It’s such a coincidence. You crushed my medicine… yet caught the thief for me. We are even then." The other party smiled and took Summer to sit aside. He bought some antiseptic and cotton swabs to help her treat the wound. "No, I can do it myself." Summer said politely, keeping a distance from all the opposite sexes. After all, she was married. "How old are you?" He smiled, putting the antiseptic and cotton swab aside. Summer was stunned for a moment; was he asking her age? "Twenty-nine years old." Summer herself almost forgot how old she was. "Since you’re older than me, then I’ll have to call you Ms. Plath." The man smiled and spoke again. "It must be destined that we get to know each other, my name is Edward Reeves, how about you? What’s your phone number?" "I'm sorry, I'm married. My husband is quite strict, so forget it." Summer said half-jokingly, rolled down her sleeves and planned to go shopping. "You’re out shopping alone? If you’re married, why isn’t your hus
"You helped me get my wallet back?" The middle-aged woman walked over. Edward nodded. "Where's the money inside? Why is my money missing?" In the end, the other party’s words were instead interrogative. A hint of coldness flashed through Edward's eyes, but his hands and the emotions expressed showed he was somewhat at a loss. "I... I don't know, I just caught the thief, and I passed your purse over to the security." "The money is gone, and the thief has also run away, what do you say!" The woman made it clear that she would not let this go. Summer frowned. She turned around, glanced at Edward and walked back. "Hi, miss, if the thief ran away, it’s a problem with the security of the mall, because the thief had already been subdued! Also, he helped you catch the thief. Instead of thanking him, you came to him to ask for money? If everyone were like you, would society still have any human touch and kindness?" Who would still dare to act bravely and for justice? "Stop talkin
Summer was stunned. How should she answer this question? "Well, I like all people who have a sense of justice and act bravely." Summer explained. She was afraid that Edward would misunderstand. Edward smiled and nodded. "Thanks." The air was still for a long time, and the Carter’s people brought the management of the mall to find Summer. "What happened?" "Manager!" When the head of security saw that the person was the manager, he quickly nodded and bowed. "These two people are accomplices of a thief. We are detailing them till they return the money to this lady." The manager glanced at Summer, and seeing that Summer was not explaining, his face turned pale with fright. "Do you know who she is?" The manager pointed to Summer and asked. The head of security shook his head. "How much did she lose?" The manager's voice began to tremble. Summer raised her chin, sneered and changed her sitting position, waiting to watch the show. "Miss, how much did you lose?" The middl
“Well, yes.” Summer nodded. “What a pity...” Edward looked as if he was about to cry.Summer felt a little awkward and did not know what she should say. “We’ll sound too distant if you call me Ms. Plath. A friend in need is a friend indeed. You can just call me Summer.” Summer felt that it was not a good thing for a man like him to call her Ms. Plath...Edward smiled brightly. “Alright. I will call you Sum, then.”Summer took a deep breath. It was hard for her to reject that. Edward looked cheerful when he smiled. Maybe this was the smiling depression that Ace mentioned. Usually, people with such illnesses tend to have a more serious condition. “Sum, how could your husband let you go shopping by yourself? It’s so dangerous.” Edward followed behind Summer and accompanied her to choose some products. “You’re so beautiful and kind. I am so worried about letting you go out alone. If it were me, I would accompany you all the time.”Summer smiled. She just thought that Edward was
“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.
