“It’s not necessary... to call the police.” Jasper shook his head. It was not beneficial for Edward if he made this case more serious. “It’s rare to see you being so merciful.” Summer sneered. “Why? You can’t pay back the relationship debt?”“Sum, Edward is not evil,” Jasper was now saying on behalf of Edward. “It’s not just because he is not evil, right? I think Jennifer is very beautiful. You’re so lucky that so many women are dying for you.” Summer smiled and clapped for Jasper. Her words were sarcastic. Jasper was terrified and a chill ran up his spine. He looked at Summer nervously. “Sum, I swear that this has nothing to do with me.”“Since we’re not calling the police, then you should just enjoy your vacation here in the Reeves family’s manor. Goodbye.” After ensuring Jasper was safe and was not in any life-threatening danger, Summer planned to leave. “There are many things that I need to settle at Sea City. I will leave tomorrow.” “No... No!” Jasper pleaded and looked
“No matter what, you still need to be careful. If Edward has the courage to abduct Jasper, he must have thought of a way to get away with it. He kept him there because he wanted him to take care of his sister. How do you think he’ll make him stay there obediently? He must have something up his sleeve. You must be very careful. Contact me immediately if anything happens.”Summer nodded, feeling worried and agitated. …… In the Reeves’s family estate… Not long after Summer left, Edward came home with Jennifer. “Edward, is it true that Jasper has moved in?” Jennifer looked happy. “He’s willing to stay and accompany me?”“Yes, He says he’s willing to stay with you until you recover.” Edward nodded. Jennifer nodded happily. “That’s great. You’re the best.”Edward patted Jennifer’s head affectionately. “As long as you get better, I’ll do anything for you.”‘Even if there’s no going back for me.’“Sir…”Someone behind him called out to him.“Go and sit in the living room. Jasp
All these years, the person that blamed himself the most was Edward.Back then, he was the one who let Jasper look after Jennifer, and Jasper had agreed to take care of her. “I… don’t have any comments regarding this matter.” Jasper was agitated. He had already gone home when the incident happened. He also refused to admit that on that exact day, when he was rushing back to the bar, he met Summer. He initially wanted to head back to pick Jennifer up, but… Summer was lying on the snowy road, covered in blood, and he could not turn his back on her.Over the years, Jasper felt guilty and occasionally lost his temper with Summer, who had amnesia at the time. However, after thinking about it later on, he realized it had nothing to do with Summer. It was just a coincidence.What was more, since the beginning, Edward deliberately shoved his sister to him, even though he had already made it clear to him that he only liked Jennifer as a sister. He had no romantic feelings for her.
So, in order to get rid of his title as a loyal person, Jasper wanted to make Edward give up on him. Most of the women that he had been with were introduced by Yadon. Yadon assured him that he did not need to worry about those women. They knew exactly what they wanted, and would neither contact him nor cling to him after they ended the relationship. What was more, in order to match his ‘tastes’, all the women that Yadon introduced him to looked like Victoria. In the end, even Jasper got sick of dating similar types of women. He felt extremely guilty for what happened back then. He regretted his impulsive actions the most. He had hurt too many people… It also made him feel guilty whenever he faced Summer. He got Summer, but he did not appreciate her in the beginning. When he thought about the past, he realized that there were too many imperfections and wounds in their relationship. That was why Summer previously mentioned that she wanted a divorce, and why she had wanted
Outside the door, Jennifer panicked. She turned and ran away rapidly. ‘Is Edward… threatening Jasper… for my sake?‘He tried his best. He must be very tired. ‘I don’t want him to suffer any longer.’…… Casper was still worried about Jasper when he sent Summer back to the hotel. “Stay here and rest well. I’ll send you to Reeves’s house tomorrow at noon. Don’t worry about it tonight. I’ll keep my eye on him.”“Casper, you don't need to do that. I’ll be fine…” Summer shook her head, asking him to go home and rest. “You still need to work. Don’t tire yourself out.”“Alright, I’ll come and fetch you tomorrow at noon.”After he left the hotel, Casper looked at the time. He was still worried, so he drove to the Reeves family’s mansion, just to make sure nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Perhaps it was his professional intuition. He was worried Jasper would be killed. Even though most people would not dare to kill him, it was not out of the question either. Just in case
All the guards went to find Jennifer. Jasper was left alone in the room. “Edward!”He had no idea what had happened but he saw the guards run off. He opened the door and wanted to ask Edward. “Edward!”No one was in the living room, except Edward, who was curled up on the floor, drenched in cold sweat. “Edward…” Jasper hurriedly went over to him. “You…”Edward pointed at the drawer, asking him to bring the medicine to him. Jasper gasped when he saw the medicine that Edward was taking. It was a type of psychotropic drug… “How long have you been sick?” Jasper asked as his voice trembled. He only knew Jennifer was sick… but he did not know the person who had been feeling guilty, the same person who blamed him for all this was even sicker. “None of your business…” Edward tugged on Jasper’s clothes and said in a quivering voice. “It’s… all because of you!”Jasper felt his heart tense up and his fingers turned numb. He pulled Edward up. “Take the medicine.” Edward ate the med
At Mountain City Central Hospital…Casper took her to the hospital and took a closer look. Wasn't she the eldest lady of the Reeves family?He just conducted an investigation today and knew what Jennifer looked like."Situational syncope. She must have felt intense emotional stress. Seems like it was out of extreme fear."The doctor looked at the examination results and continued, "She is extremely frightened by strangers, especially members of the opposite sex. Now that there are nurses taking care of her, her mood is a little more stable. I think… maybe she was frightened when she saw you."The doctor and Casper knew each other. Police officers were often injured and sent to the hospital, so as time went by, they became familiar with each other.Casper scratched his head. "Frightened when she saw me?"Did he look so scary?Summer used to say that he looked a bit like Jasper. Did that mean Jasper looked scary?But that was impossible! Jasper was even the dream lover of the pe
Since she got sick until now, she felt that the whole world was laughing at her. The voices of male strangers were like a piercing, devilish sound to her ears, as if bringing her closer to hell."What are you running away for?" Casper chased after her, but Jennifer did not listen to him at all and ran out in panic.Outside the hospital…A few thugs were smoking in the corner.Jennifer was good-looking, and looked even vulnerable with her bare feet, which attracted the attention of those young thugs."Babe, why the hell are you running away?" The young thugs stopped Jennifer and whistled at her."Ah! Go away!" Jennifer screamed in shock, squatting on the ground as she hugged her head, and her body trembling all over.She was scared...Who could come and save her?Flashes of the accident that happened that year flashed through her mind. She had tried her best to forget it, but every time she would recall it, it became clearer each time.She cried for help, no one rescued her, t
“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.
