“What happened? Why didn’t you pick up the call?” Azula coincidentally saw the name on the screen of Summer’s phone. It was Jasper. Summer was not a romantic person. She would not set Jasper’s contact name as hubby. Love was not the only thing that kept both of them going to this day. Kinship and their children had also kept both of them together.Azula was puzzled, wondering what Summer was mad about.It was obvious that she was mad at Jasper. ‘Chairman Miller, what did you do this time?’“It’s nothing. He’s just not being honest these few days.” Summer frowned. Jasper’s call was declined. He subconsciously thought that she was busy and did not think much about it. He did not make a second call immediately either. Summer looked at her phone a few times. Unfortunately, he did not call her back.“Sum?” Natalie called out to Summer when she noticed that Summer had entered the mansion and sat on the couch absent-mindedly. Summer neither heard her calling her name nor looked
"Sum, did something happen today?" Natalie was still a little worried."’Did something happen’...?" Summer shook her head. "Anyway, Nieva called me today and said that she would like to cooperate with us to train a male artist. I don't know much about this aspect. I need you to give me some advice.""Do you have any information about the male artist?" Natalie was shocked. "However, I heard that Nieva never took in any male artist. When we were in university, there were rumors that Nieva never took any male artists."Summer thought for a while, and indeed, the artists that Nieva worked with were all women. "Perhaps the market is not good, or maybe she suddenly changed her mind?"
"His information hasn't been given to me yet, but I heard that he’s a mixed race of three countries with a height of 6 feet and 6 inches." Summer had roughly asked around. "Nieva said she wants to push this artist?" Natalie was stunned. "Sum, you have to know that although mixed-race guys have good looks, their roles are very limited, so there’s usually no film and television company or studio who would sign them. Also, his height is 6 feet and 6 inches? Is the person she brought this time a model? Or is there some other path in his career plan?” It was impossible for him to go into the film and television industry. Summer shook her head. "Who knows what’s going through Nieva’s mind to have come here suddenly and signed a cooperation agreement. Since she wanted to push this person, then let’s just let her do it. Anyway, it’s a bet-on agreement. She wants to guarantee that all the artists under her name will give me three times the net profit appreciation within three years." "I a
Summer’s phone vibrated. Summer was chatting with Natalie and Azula all afternoon before Jasper called the second time. Summer was inexplicably a little upset, just like all couples. She was sulking and unwilling to speak to Jasper. "Sum, did you really quarrel with Jasper?" Natalie saw that Summer really hung up on Jasper's phone call and felt that things were not that simple. Looking at Azula, Azula also shrugged innocently, she was not too clear about it either. Over at the other end of the phone… After being hung up on twice, Jasper then only realized how serious this was. Summer was either busy or deliberately did not answer her phone. He panicked and hurriedly called the third time. Similarly, Summer still did not answer. "Sum?" So, Jasper began to text her via WhatsApp. "Are you busy Sum?" Summer still ignored him. "Wifey?" So, Jasper began to be thick-skinned and cheeky. "My dear?" He continued to send emojis. "Ten minutes later, come to Yadon's pla
"You’re here so fast?" Summer sneered and glanced at Jasper. Azula and Natalie both felt Summer fuming. As they looked at each other and were afraid of being pulled into this, they dared not speak. "Daddy!" In the courtyard, Little Chestnut was being carried by Rafferty as he walked in. She looked excited when she saw Jasper. "Daddy, I missed you." Jasper's heart melted. He temporarily forgot that something was wrong with Summer. Summer's face became darker. Was he trying to change the subject? "Do you miss daddy?" After hugging Little Chestnut, Jasper gave the little girl a kiss on the cheek. "Where did you go to play today?" "We went to the mall. There was a good-looking guy." Little Chestnut said happily. Summer laughed. This little girl already knew how to tattle. She knew how to be a little spy for her dad at a young age. Jasper narrowed his eyes. "Who was that good-looking guy?" "He helped mommy to carry things." Little Chestnut whispered. "Daddy, Mommy is in a
Jasper let out a sigh of relief. Was she angry that he did not accompany them today? "Sum..." But after thinking about it, Jasper's heart was in his mouth again, as he promised Edward to accompany him to the university tomorrow. Whether Edward would agree or disagree now was very important for Miller Corporation. This afternoon, Yadon also said that he can no longer delay. He must find a way to make Edward agree and sign as soon as possible. It was an obvious win-win situation, but with Edward’s sudden return to Sea City, it had changed things up. Edward must have returned with some purpose or grievance. Anyhow, as long as Edward signed it as soon as possible, no matter what he wanted to do this time, he had to agree first. "Why?" Summer looked at Jasper. She asked Carter just now. Jasper had no plans for tomorrow. He had taken the day off! Didn’t he take leave to accompany her and their children? "I still have some things to settle tomorrow." Jasper hesitated, not know
"Why did you think of calling me? Did something happen? Do you regret it? Do you plan to return Summer to me?" Ace answered Jasper's call and asked with a smile. "Are you playing dirty?" Jasper lowered his voice. "Didn’t we talk about it before?" "About what?" Ace seemed puzzled. "Have you contacted Summer behind my back? Weren’t you the one who said that you will stay away from her life and let her live like a normal person?" Jasper was a little angry. "I haven't contacted Sum for at least half a month. Are you sure you are talking about me?" Ace laughed and said again. "What? Someone contacted Sum under my name?" Jasper frowned, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows. Ace was quite sneaky, but he would not lie about things like this. "You swear?" "I still need to swear? If I really want to take Summer away, or make Summer give up on you, I don't need to contact her secretly behind your back, I will contact her openly." Ace felt amused. "Alright, I got i
“Let’s wait for now. At least, Nieva has not shown any behavior that crosses the line.” Summer nodded. At least, Isabella had gone to the sanatorium and reduced the burden on her and Jasper.Otherwise, it would be problematic to be bothered by Isabella every day. “Yes, Nieva’s personal and professional capabilities are still trustworthy. At least, she had a good reputation in this industry.” Azula nodded. “But Natalie had specifically stated that we need to observe this male artist. A mixed-blood artist like him will have many limitations to get developed in this country. You need to review him carefully.”At the Sea City International Airport, Samson got off the flight with his sunglasses on. Cosmo had woken up and was recovering. Samson could finally let go of the burden in his heart.As long as Cosmo had woken up, he no longer needed to worry about anything…“Sum,” Samson called Summer immediately after he touched down. “Samson, have you returned to Sea City?” Summer picked
“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.
