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
“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
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
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.
“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
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
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.
“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
