“Sum, there’s something I need to tell you.”That night, after having s*x with Summer for the longest time, Jasper finally had the courage to tell her the truth. Perhaps it was because Jasper had taken her too many times, but Summer felt tired. She did not want to listen to him.“Sum?” Jasper nudged Summer’s head gently, and he felt a little resigned. “You’re the one who went to sleep first. Oh well, we’ll talk tomorrow.”“Sum…”The next morning, when Summer just woke up, she saw Jasper was sitting at the edge of the bed. “Jaz, you're blocking the sun” Summer nuzzled against Jasper's palm in a sweet and affectionate way. She rolled about the bed with a smile.“I need to tell you something.” Jasper knew that Samson already knew the truth. He could not keep concealing the secret any longer. In the end, Summer would still go back to Samson. He seemed to have come to an understanding as well. It was already good enough that God had given him a chance like this. “What is it?” Summer wa
“Jaz, are you giving me away?”She remembered that the man from yesterday mentioned that Jasper had run into some trouble, and someone important was kidnapped too. So, Jasper was truly treating her like a fool. He made up a lie to deceive her and send her away.“I don’t want to lie to you.” Jasper smiled. If the little mermaid was destined to be loved by the prince, then they should be together earlier.“You’re lying to me now. You’re sending me away, aren’t you?” Summer did not cry. She calmly lowered her head. If Jasper were to give her to someone else, there was nothing she could do. “But we’re married, aren’t we?”“If there’s anything you want, I’ll do it for you…” Jasper felt as if his heart was bleeding. It had been so difficult for him to steal the little fool and get married with her. “After all, Naomi is not your real identity. You can do whatever you want.”“Jaz, are you tired of me already…?” Summer tentatively straightened up and grabbed Jasper’s arm with slightly cold fin
“Samson, what do you mean?” Alaric looked at the two similar pendants carefully for a long time. The two pendants did indeed look almost similar. It was indeed hard for him to differentiate the fake one from the real one just by looking at them. “Uncle, I’m afraid someone lied to you.” Samson clenched his fists and was still reluctant to believe that Alaric and Benjamin would deceive him.“Some of my subordinates might have ill intentions. I will let Brighton investigate this.” Alaric put both pendants on the table. “Samson, stay for dinner.”“No, thank you. I need to go to the company to settle some things.” Samson’s voice quivered a little when he saw that Alaric did not intend to tell him the truth.“Samson.” Right when Samson turned to leave, Alaric called his name.“The first time Sum disappeared, I advised you not to live in the past. You can never see the light if you keep living in the shadows.”Alaric said the same thing to Benjamin before.Young people nowadays were too full
Gilbert pulled a condom out of Elly's pocket with a cold smile.Elly retreated in panic. She subconsciously lowered her gaze. “James…”“Come now, it’s normal for men and women to make love. What's more, you like Adrian. I know that.” Gilbert's gaze grew darker as he held the condom between two fingers. “James, it’s my fault. I'm just…” Elly wanted to explain.“You don’t have to explain anything. You may go.” Gilbert raised his hand and gestured at her to shut up.Elly shivered. She turned and left quickly.Gilbert looked at the condom in his hand and headed into the bamboo house with a cold gaze. “Get up and get cooking!”Adrian laid sprawled on the bed and looked at Gilbert in bewilderment.‘Why is this guy so obsessed with making me cook?’“Are you even a human? I've been kidnapped and seriously injured. And now you’re asking me to cook for you, even though you’re also a hostage?” Adrian felt as if he was about to go berserk. “Kidnapped? You look pretty comfortable here!” Gilbert r
Summer did not sleep well in her bedroom. She dreamt of Samson again.“Jaz…” Without knowing why, she started to feel terrified. She was afraid of losing Jasper.Jasper sat at the edge of the bed. He touched Summer's cheek. “Sum, I love you.”*****“Young master, Adrian mentioned that the other party is targeting you. Are you sure you want to go there? I have researched the geography of the fishing village. It’s very remote. There is only one way to go there. If that is the only way, they will set up an ambush.”The assistant was worried that something might happen to Jasper.“Will you go if the one kidnapped is your childhood friend and your best friend?” Jasper asked with a sidelong look, and he spoke with a tone that allowed no argument. “Alright. But… we will take this van with us.” The assistant pointed at the van parked outside the door. Jasper had a headache. He was a clean freak… *****In the Ardly family's mansion…“I don't want other people to know about our cooperation.”
“Young master…”Samson quickly lifted Summer up in his arms and looked at the kiss marks on her neck. He walked away with a dreary air. “Tell James that I want Jasper dead. If he can't do it, let him know that our deal is off.”The assistant tried to dissuade him, but after remaining silent for a moment, he finally gave up.Julia was hiding in the bathroom in the Ardly family’s mansion, looking at the pregnancy test stick in her hand with complicated emotions in her heart. Pregnant! She was really pregnant!She was very excited and happy, but at the same time, she was down. She was pregnant with Samson’s child. But she did not expect that she would conceive his child through this method. There were tears in her eyes when she heard movement outside the bathroom. Julia quickly hid the pregnancy test stick in the garbage can, wiped her tears, and walked out. “Samson, you're back. I've prepared…”She wanted to say that she had prepared lunch for Samson. But before she could finish, she
“You’re lying! It’s impossible! I want to see Jaz!" Summer panicked badly. She cried, wanting to leave the place. "Stop!" Samson reached out to grab Summer's wrist, hugged her from behind, and whispered, "You must stay by my side until you recover your memories."Outside, Julia knocked on the door nervously. "Samson, is Ms. Hamilton hungry? Let's eat together."Samson frowned slightly. He released his hold over Summer slightly. "Be good, otherwise, don’t even think of ever seeing Jasper again."Summer trembled with fright. Samson was threatening her.Looking at Samson vigilantly, Summer slowly backed away and then curled up in a corner.This person looked familiar.‘My heart hurts every time I see him.’However, for some reason, she was afraid of him."Julia, move to the guest room downstairs. No one is allowed to go upstairs without my permission," Samson said, after locking Summer in the room. He felt troubled. "Samson, did Ms. Hamilton… misunderstand something?" Julia looked down.
"Do you want to keep me here? How long are you going to keep me here?" Summer asked tentatively. Samson had never seen Summer put on such an expression before, and neither had he ever seen her act so timidly and meekly.This was not his Summer, at least not the Summer he loved.He loved the eldest daughter of the Plath family, the Summer who was proud, headstrong, and fearless.But the outrageously cowardly little fool who did not even dare to breathe deeply before him was not the Summer he loved at all. "You’ll be locked here until you recover your memories. You’ll be locked here until you become the Summer I know again.""Please, let me go, I don't want to stay here, I want to see Jaz..." Summer cried and shook her head. She did not dare to shout at the top of her lungs.Samson got up slowly. He pulled Summer by the wrist and brought her to the table. "Eat something first.""I don't want to eat, I want to see Jaz." Summer shook her head."Eat!" Samson said threateningly."I won't eat
“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.
