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
“Jaz, do you see me as your sugar baby?” Summer Plath asked carefully, and there was a slight tremble in her voice.“Where did you learn how to speak such nonsense? Take off your clothes.” Jasper Miller was a little impatient already. He put down the blueprint of the wedding rings, and his head was spinning as he pointed at the wedding dress on the bed. “Put that on and let me take a look.”“Such a beautiful dress!” Summer’s huge eyes lit up. She looked like she liked the wedding dress a lot as she gently caressed it with her hands. “Stop touching it!” Jasper sounded rather annoyed as he was worried that Summer would dirty the wedding dress.Summer was so terrified that she quivered, and she immediately withdrew her hands.She trembled as she took off her clothes. She then carefully put on the wedding dress.“Vic is a little more voluptuous compared to Summer, but this dress is tight even for Summer. Were you even taking the measurements properly? Also, make some changes to the
“My name is Summer Plath… It’s the only thing I remember about myself. Can you… take me in?”The ground had been covered in snow. Back then, Summer was as shy and timid as a little rabbit looking for food in the snow. Unexpectedly, Jasper Miller took her with him, keeping her in one of his mansions located in West City. She had been there for a year now.Everyone in Sea City knew that Jasper liked Victoria Dawn, the lady of the Dawn family. However, when Victoria had gone to Country M to further her studies, she fell in love with someone else. It was said that Victoria did not keep in touch with Jasper at all for a few years. And Jasper was not able to let go of his love for her. He had been having one sugar baby after the other, and the women he got involved were looking more and more like Victoria.This was especially true when it came to Summer. Not only did she look like Victoria, she had also stayed by Jasper’s side the longest.“Isn’t that idiot coming down for breakf
She was sick, and she barely had the strength to breathe.Jasper had never treated Summer like a human being, and Summer knew this all too well.“Jaz, I’m really in pain. Please let me off the hook…”Summer’s breaths were becoming weaker and weaker, and she was as limp as an unstrung puppet.She was feeling extremely dizzy, and she no longer had the strength to even tremble.“I did not pay for your medical bills and keep you here in my mansion so that you can act like a rich and spoiled girl!” It was getting harder and harder for Jasper to suppress the fury inside him.He had to admit that he had always spoiled Victoria, who was a rich girl to begin with. But Summer had nothing on Victoria. She was merely an idiot who had lost her memory and identity in an accident. Aside from being able to satisfy him s*xually, she was utterly useless.“Jaz, I’ll pay you back what I owe you…” Summer was exasperated as she cried. Her only fault was that she remembered nothing.Ever since Jasper
