“Sum, if we can go back to the past and I actually treated the little fool kindly, would you choose to be together with me when you recovered your memories?” Jasper changed the topic of conversation, and his voice became weaker. “There is no if.”In this world, hypothetical situations would never exist. “I was just trying to make you happy...”Jasper smiled, although he was not sure if he was mocking himself.Summer hung up subconsciously. She did not want to listen to Jasper anymore. She was worried that if her heart went out for him for even a moment, she would keep this child.“Here’s your phone. Go back first and watch every move from the Hamilton family. Since Irene just died, Mrs. Hamilton has no time to care about us. This is our best chance.”Cosmo nodded, looked at the guest room, and pulled Naomi out. “Just now that woman was eavesdropping on us. Who is she…?”Summer frowned and shook her head slowly. “Nothing. She is Samson’s...”What sort of label should she give to her?
“I have nothing to pack. Wait for me a little. I’ll go and change my clothes.” Adrian ran into his room while holding the keys. After he changed his clothes and came out, James was still lying on the sofa in his bathrobe.“Why are you not changing your clothes? Let’s go.” Adrian was stunned. “Did I say that I will be going?” James said coldly and got up. He wanted to leave. “Gilbert, what do you mean?” Adrian was stunned for a moment. Then, for some reason, he became a little vexed. “Why are you suddenly chasing me away?”“Huh? Adrian Seawind, get the situation right, will you? I kidnapped YOU. As a kidnapper, I’m almost broke feeding you.” James felt amused and was suddenly in the mood to start joking. “Is it because your half-dead brother from Country M has come over and you can’t wait to see me leave so that I won’t die and cause you trouble?” Adrian asked. “Were you involved in Jasper’s attack?”“Adrian, just because I’m not attacking you, it doesn’t mean that you can be presump
“James is an illegitimate son?” Adrian was interested in James for some reason and wanted to know more about him.“No. James’ father married Miss Coleman later. Alaric threatened him into doing it, so James might not be purely of the Ross bloodline, but he isn’t an illegitimate son.” Elly shook her head. “But Miss Coleman died not long after giving birth to James. She passed away because of an illness.“The woman who James cares about the most is the maid who raised him. She was specially cultivated by the Ross family and is similar to a child bride from ancient times.” After going quiet for a while, Elly spoke again. “James treated her like a lover, I think? Even if he didn’t love her like that, he should have loved her like family, one that you can’t give up on no matter what.”Adrian was stunned. He knew about the dark side of Ross family and understood James had to have been through a lot in his life. But it could not be an excuse for him to hurt others. “You must be careful. Jam
At Sea City Hospital, Summer sat for a while before she quietly followed the nurse to the operating theater. “Sum...” Samson called out Summer’s name in hopes she would reconsider things.He was very confused. He did not want Summer to keep the child, yet he felt that it was unfair for Summer and the child in her stomach. When Summer said she wanted to abort the child, he had very complicated emotions in his heart. Summer did not stop or look at Samson. It was impossible for her to have any sort of relationship with Jasper anymore. The sky was getting darker. When Summer returned to the Ardly family’s mansion with Samson, she did not speak a word. Samson kept a tight grip on the steering wheel, and for some reason, his hands were even sweating. When the car was parked in the courtyard. Summer was the first to speak. “Samson...” Samson stayed silent, for he worried what Summer was going to say. “Let’s go up first. I will ask the nanny to prepare you some food. What do you wis
It was the same soul, so why was there such a huge contrast?One was the little fool who loved Jasper deeply, while the other was the only daughter of the Plath family— Summer, who remembered everything about Samson. “I thought I would have a new life after I died the first time. But in truth, it’s absolutely useless. Over the past six months, I still couldn’t sleep well. I kept dreaming in my sleep. I have insomnia. Sometimes, I think, was it because I had done something wrong that deserved God’s punishment?”“You didn’t do anything wrong...” Samson hugged Summer tightly and refused to let go. “Summer, do you love me? Do you still love me?”There was no doubt about it. The Summer in the past loved Samson, but now, she was not confident anymore.“I’m not quite sure of it myself...” Summer shook her head. She was beginning to feel confused. She could not even be sure of whether she was herself. “Stay by my side...” Samson said with a hoarse voice. He would not let go. “Let me go, Sam
“What should I do… to get her back to the way she used to be?” Samson was not selfish; he just could not accept that some part of the love of his life was loving another person. “Under normal circumstances, the main personality does not know the existence of other personalities. It is difficult to cure. There are currently no successful cases of anyone who has been cured of this. This kind of mental illness… can only be treated by medicine or hypnotic suggestive therapy. Even so, there is no guarantee what the results would be.”The doctor shook his head with regret. “Generally, patients with this kind of situation have gone through severe shock. Maybe we can try psychological counseling after she wakes up. With that, we might find out what triggered her second personality to appear. Generally speaking, Miss Plath's main personality will not have the memories of when the second personality appears…”Samson nodded. Summer seemed to have forgotten what she did when she was the little fo
“Sum?” Jasper called her tentatively. “Jaz, don’t you want me anymore?” Summer demanded as she sobbed. She anxiously looked at the bleeding wound on Jasper’s body. “Sum, you…” ‘Did she have amnesia again? Why did it happen again?’He felt that something was wrong.“Jaz, please don’t leave me. I will take care of our baby.” Summer gently caressed her stomach. She knew she was pregnant, and the baby belonged to her and Jasper.“Sum, it’s not that I don’t want you. It’s just that…” He could not quite understand what Summer wanted. After Summer regained her memories, she was just too indifferent to him. She did not care about him at all. If he must put it in words, then, all she felt for him was the occasional guilt and everlasting hate. But when she was his little fool, she became dependent and felt attached to him. “Why are you barefoot?!” Jasper’s heart ached when he lowered his head and noticed Summer’s feet. Luckily, it was summer right now.He would never forgive himself if it
“Jaz… please don’t leave me…”Jasper finally put Summer to sleep. He sat by the bed anxiously. The little fool still called out his name even in her sleep. This showed how much she loved him. Indeed, the things he did in the past were extremely unforgivable. “Jasper, Sum is…” Downstairs, Samson quickly parked his car at the courtyard. “Is she asleep?”“Yes,” Jasper said as he looked behind him. He then raised his hand and grabbed Samson’s collar. “What is up with Julia?”“Didn’t you investigate everything already?” Samson sneered as he raised his hand to push Jasper away. Because Jasper was injured, he coughed softly. “My subordinates never spread the news and made sure it didn’t leak out. How did she know?”Samson narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure the news about your injuries didn’t leak out?”“Even if one or two had their mouths run loose, she’s still a pretty suspicious woman.” Jasper coughed once again. He started to feel that it was not safe for Summer to be at Samson’s place.
“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.
