She would never let herself repeat the same mistakes.“How did you know my birthday?” Naomi purposely tilted her head and asked.Jasper did not explain his actions, but there was a sadness to be seen in his eyes.He only learned of the little fool’s birthday after a long time had passed.During the year Summer lost her memories and she stayed with him, he had only given her a present on his own birthday.And it was that cheap bracelet.He asked his men to check Naomi’s birthday, which happened to be today.He did not know whether it was fate that Summer’s birthday was just two days away from Naomi’s birthday.He dared not celebrate Summer’s birthday for her, so he could only celebrate her birthday openly on Naomi’s birthday.“This is for you.” Jasper took a jewelry box and held it in front of Naomi. “Open it and see.”Naomi furrowed her eyebrows. She did not reach out for it. “There’s no need for you to give me a present. But thank you for the fireworks, I like them a lot.”“Are you no
“Sum is very smart, and you know it.” What Jasper said seemed rather profound.“What do you mean? Summer… is on the same side as them after she lost her memories?” Adrian felt like he was stabbed by a knife. He pushed Jasper away and walked towards his bedroom.“Adrian!” Jasper furrowed his eyebrows. He knew he could not hide it anymore.“You’re a freaking lunatic!” Adrian ran out of the bedroom. He was holding a medicine bottle, and he was so angry that he trembled. “You’re really insane!” As his friend, he would much rather prefer Jasper to care for nothing, just as he did in the past. But now, just for a woman… “I’ll go find Summer and Benjamin! They can investigate whoever behind is the mastermind behind all this, and they can do whatever they want. I don’t care whether she has lost her memories, or she was set up and used by whoever…” Adrian was so mad that his expression began to darken. He walked down the stairs and wanted to walk outside. “Adrian!” Jasper raised his hand and
“We’re still much better than you, a woman who bullies people in public and is so uncultured. Those who are not in the know might think that your degree abroad is bought!” Naomi hit Irene’s weakness on purpose. Because Irene’s degree was indeed bought by the Hamilton family for her to show off.“You—!”Irene was so mad that her expression changed.“I’m alright, thank you.” When Julia saw Irene whose expression was off, she immediately got up. She pulled Naomi and wanted to retreat.*Slap!*Irene was exasperated. How could these two creatures who would only bring shame to those around them whenever they appeared, dare challenge her authority?Irene raised her hand and wanted to slap Julia, but her hand was pushed away by Naomi very quickly. Then, the slap fell on Naomi’s face.“Miss!” Julia gasped in shock. She anxiously protected Naomi. “Are you okay?”In the distance, Samson sat in a pavilion with his assistant, and his expression darkened.“Young master, shouldn’t we stop it?” The a
“My stall is just next to yours. I also prepared these for the kids.” Julia smiled, and she felt sorry as she stared at Naomi’s face. “Come, let’s go over there. I’ll put a cold compress against your face.”“Okay!” Naomi smiled and nodded.She liked Julia quite a lot. Over the past half a year, she watched and investigated Julia. She was very gentle, excellent, and sensible, so she totally deserved to be with Samson.Jasper let his subordinates help and take the things from Julia.“Jasper don’t get deceived by this illegitimate child. She is the same as her mother, both of them are vixens!” Irene was completely ignored, and she was getting angrier.“Get lost!” Jasper was displeased as he turned around and threatened Irene.This woman really did not fear death.“Where did this lunatic come from, and why is she making a scene?” Cosmo was gloomy as he walked over from afar, and the one following him was his manager.“Cosmo!” Irene frowned slightly. She turned around and took a look at Sam
“Be careful, kiddos. I’m giving you this.” Naomi took a pack of lollipops and gave them away to the children. She turned around and took a look at Jasper, who was receiving a lot of attention from the little girls. She knew it; this man was toxic.“Stay away from the little girls,” Naomi whispered before she put a pack of red dates in Jasper’s hand. “Please go to the side and eat some red dates.”Jasper was stunned. He stared blankly at the red dates in his hand. “Okay.”Poison in exchange for a pack of sweets? It was totally worth it.“Are the two of you a couple? You sure seem to pamper him a lot.” Julia smiled beside them, and she looked envious.“Huh? No, we just met not long ago!” Naomi’s face blushed a little. She was worried that other people would misunderstand their relationship, so she immediately waved her hands.“Really?” Julia did not believe it. “You just met him, but he offended the lady of the Hamilton family for you. Doesn’t this mean that he likes you—” “Distribute
“He has provoked you twice now...” Jasper smiled as he nodded. He placed a red date in Naomi’s hand. “You haven’t eaten breakfast, have you?”“I was in a hurry this morning. Besides, I’ve run into some people who made me lose my appetite...” Naomi puffed her cheeks. Jasper treated her very nicely, yet she did not find it awkward at all.Her hand, which was holding the red date, froze. Naomi’s eyes were downcast as she took a deep breath.Her heart shivered slightly. She began to fear that… if she kept staying by Jasper’s side, she would let history repeat itself. “I’ve asked Newman to bring you chestnut porridge and some desserts.” Jasper knew that Summer liked desserts. “Huh? Eating something so sweet in the morning makes me sick. I don’t like sweet things.” Naomi turned down the offer subconsciously. She did not want to let the past happen once more. A dejected look flickered in Jasper’s eyes. He slowly clenched his fists. ‘Would someone’s tastes and preferences change after she
Victoria Dawn glanced at Naomi Hamilton with a vicious look in her eyes. She was the one who used Naomi to get close to Jasper Miller, yet she was still awfully jealous of her. “Apologize!” Rupert Trump’s father was incredibly furious. “Sorry!” Rupert had no choice but to apologize to Naomi. “What did you do wrong?” Naomi asked with a smile. “I—!” The look in Rupert’s eyes was intimidating.“Oh my. That look in your eyes... Are you trying to bite me?” Naomi looked terrified. Jasper sat in a corner and watched Naomi with a smile. He would be fine as long as she was having fun. “Apologize properly!” Rupert’s father swatted him over the head. “Naomi, it must be a misunderstanding. Rupert is very earnest.” Victoria smiled and stepped forward. She signaled to Naomi with her gaze, telling her not to push her luck.“Jaydie, have you heard him apologize?” Naomi turned to ask Jayde. She pretended that she had not seen Victoria’s warning. “Huh? An apology? No, I haven’t. I just heard a
“Hey, don’t be mad. If I don’t behave unreasonably, Jasper Miller will get suspicious,” Naomi whispered. “Naomi Hamilton, you better have another way to earn his trust, or else I’ll let Jasper know about our deal and all our phone conversations. I’ll see how you talk your way out of trouble then!” Victoria said angrily. “You...” Naomi furrowed her eyebrows and pretended that she was terrified. “Don’t do that.”“You better listen and follow my orders. Tonight, ask Jasper out. He has to be alone with you. Remember, ask him to dine with you at Pearl Western Restaurant. My people will help you out there! Blue Court Hotel is right next to the restaurant. Bring him to Room 8628. I want you to be pregnant with his child, so it’ll be in your best interests to act fast. I don’t have time to wait for you while you play house!”“Are you crazy?” Naomi said in astonishment. ‘This woman has gone mad!’“What? You’re unwilling to do that? Okay. Ask him out then. I’ll find someone to replace you. You
“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.
