Cartier felt a chill run down his spine. He was truly scared of Rose.This woman was terrifying when she went off the rails. โWhen someone wants something so bad, she would forsake her life to fight for it. If she canโt get it, she will destroy it herself.โ Rose smiled and made a call. She looked excited.She wanted to know how Jasper would handle the relationship among the three of them when his ex-girlfriend, who made him guilty, had returned.โLids, Iโm Aunt Rose.โ Rose smiled, and her voice instantly became soft.โAunt Rose, how are you?โ Lydia smiled and asked. She sounded very happy.โIโm now at Sea City. Your attending physician told me that you have recovered completely. There are no problems now. Do you want to come back? Do you want to see your boyfriend?โ Rose smiled and said.โReally?!โ On the other side of the phone, Lydia exclaimed. โThatโs great! Can I come back now?โ Lydia sounded excited.She missed Jasper so much.During the three years she was treated in
โUncle, thank you for your concern. Itโs not the first time she tried to kill me. Before she managed to get the old manโs sperm, she wanted to kill me. Last time, I thought it was James who wanted to kill me, but it seems... thereโs someone greater. She always tries to sow discord between me and James. The one who wanted to kill me that time was not James as well,โ Victor whispered while looking at the sky. No one knew whether he was talking to Alaric or himself.โYou killed the woman James cared about the most. It wouldnโt make sense if he didnโt want to kill you.โ Alaric pulled the fishing rod. It was empty. He got no fish. โThe business world and family relationships are just like fishing. Youโre not chasing each other, and youโre not engaged in a fight where only one of you can come out alive. You can live even if Iโm alive, and if I died, it would provide no benefit to you. When there are more fishers, the fish eat well, but not all of them jump at the bait. The fish which eat yo
The staff at the front desk, ground floor, and first floor looked at Summer in surprise. They started imagining a whole drama in their heads.โHow could she be shameless enough to look for our chairman? Chairman Ardly is currently in a bad mood after the old chairman died. Why is she here?โโDid she come over to beg Chairman Ardly to spare Jasper? I think Chairman Ardly has acquired all the personal property and the projects attached under Jasperโs name.โโIt shouldnโt be. Even if Jasper has lost Miller Corporation and the obvious personal property, heโs rich. Once he sells some of his stuff, he can turn them into cash, which would be enough to last a couple lifetimes.โSummer waited downstairs. She touched the ring on her finger with anxiousness.She was not sure whether Samson would be willing to meet her.She hadnโt come to beg mercy for Jasper though. She just felt that there was no need for them to be so hostile to each other. She had just gotten to know about the death of
โCongratulations, girl.โ Rose smiled and patted Lydiaโs head. โSo, whatโs your plan?โโI havenโt told Jaz that Iโm coming back. I want to give him a surprise.โ Lydia was very excited. It was the kind of excitement people felt when they were about to meet their lover. Rose avoided her gaze as if she was hiding something. โLids, thereโs something that I must tell you...โWhat is it?โ Lydia did not understand it.โYou must know that Iโm your psychologist and the doctor who cooperated with the hospital to allow you to recover faster. All of us hoped that you could recover soon. So... your emotion mattered a lot, and your will to live was important too. โThat is why thereโs something that we hid from you during your treatment.โ Rose heaved a sigh and went into the car while holding Lydiaโs arm. โI went back to Sea City earlier to look for the boyfriend you mentioned. But... a few days ago, the news reported that Jasper announced his relationship with another woman.โโThis...โ Lydiaโ
โYouโre better off not reading this. This novel is really stupid.โ Ben displayed a disgusted look on his face while eating the strawberry and said, โFrom the beginning, the domineering president treated the main female character as a substitute and even hurt her in many ways. At first, I thought that the president was aloof and was someone who would do great things, but in the end, he begged the main female character to go back home with him. This doesnโt fit his characterโฆโJasper had finished showering and walked down the stairs. He stiffened for a while. Why was this plot so familiar? Jasper coughed with a guilty conscience and wiped his hair with the towel. โMy mom asked us to go over for dinner tonight. Itโs a family dinner.โโI...โ Summer was a little anxious. โI havenโt met your father before. Will he dislike me?โโWhy does he need to like you? As long as I like you, it will do.โ Jasper smiled and walked over.He knew clearly why his father did not come and visit Summer al
Summer cast a sideways glance at Jasper. She knew that Mr. Larson, the butler, was Lydiaโs father.Although it was obvious that Jasper only did it so Lydia would cooperate with the treatment, she still felt upset about it. Perhaps she came into his life a little too late. โBenny Boy, Grandma fried some glutinous rice balls for you. Do you like it?โ Melody was too friendly, and it was frightening. She was overjoyed when she came across children. Right now, her husband and son did not exist in her eyes. She could only see the child and her pregnant daughter-in-law. โSum, I made sweet and sour mixed vegetables for you. I know you don't like greasy food.โโThank you, Mrs. Millerโฆโ For a while, Summer was not able to change the way she addressed her, and she felt a little awkward.Even though she was already officially married to Jasper, she was still not used to calling Melody โmotherโ.โYouโve gotten your marriage certificate already. Call me โmomโ.โ Melody looked at Summer expect
Benjamin took a look around. He was the only one who was single, so he put the sweet and sour pork ribs in Ben's bowl.Ben suppressed his laughter as he cast a look at Benjamin. He then started obediently eating the rice in his bowl. Summer looked at the atmosphere of the family, and she longed for this. Her grin grew wider.Summerโs family might also share a harmonious relationship. Her parents respected each other, and there was something that was missing. But in her memories, her father, Alaric treated her mother very well. Unfortunately, they were always busy and were away from home most of the time as they focused on their work.โButler! Mr. Larson! Young Master! All of youโฆ all of you, you have to come and have a look!โ Outside, a servant yelled frantically. โAll of you, look at who has come back home!โJasper frowned. He stood up and left. โLetโs eat.โ Melody was a little upset. Her family was having a meal. There was no need to make a fuss about it.Mr. Larson placed
Jasper frowned as he subconsciously turned. โI never promised Lydia that I would marry her.โHe only agreed to work with Mr. Larson and agreed to date her, that was all. If Lydia suddenly mentioned this, then she must have known about Summerโs existence long ago. โJazโฆโ Summer called out tentatively. She held her stomach as she walked out. โJaz, whoโs she?โLydiaโs hands, which were holding onto Jasper, stiffened. She gradually loosened her grip. She looked at Summer, and her gaze was full of hurt. She lowered her gaze to stare at her clearly pregnant stomach. โSumโฆโ Jasper rapidly turned and embraced Summer with a frown. โSheโs Lydia, the younger sister that I mentioned.โMr. Larson became worried and grabbed Lydia's arm to take her away. โLids, you haven't been home for the past three years. A lot of things happened. I will tell you about it slowly.โLydia stood still as she looked into Jasperโs eyes. โWhoโs she?โโSheโs my wife, Summer,โ Jasper said plainly. His express
โI just find it hard to accept the truth. I donโt actually hate youโฆโ After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. โIt wasโฆ too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.โMabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. โSumโฆโSummer smiled at her and said, โBefore Iโm able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?โMabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. โSureโฆ Call me anything you wantโฆโShe actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. โCan I hug you?โ Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabelโs 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 familyโs mansion. โWifeyโฆโ Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. โWifey?โ He panicked and knelt in front of her. โSumโฆโHe truly panicked this time. โDid she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?โโJasper, do you care who my mother is?โ Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. โNo, I donโt. I only care about you.โโWhy do I care so much, thenโฆโ Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. โI shouldnโt care about it tooโฆโโEveryone has something that they donโt have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.โSummer 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.โSumโฆโ 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. โMadam, stop cooking. Come and eat,โ Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.โSum, letโs eat.โ 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. โSum, follow me.โ After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. โIs Jasper treating you well?โ Alaric asked. โYes, heโs treating me well.โ She smiled. โIf Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.โโHe 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.โโSum, thereโs something that Iโve been hiding from you. Youโve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?โ A
โMr. 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?โโI do,โ Jasper said the two words confidently.โIโm willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.โIโll always love her.โSheโll always be my number one.โโMs. 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?โโโฆ I do.โShe purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said โI doโ, 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.โJasper!โJas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. โI belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasperโs side.โโHe doesnโt deserve it,โ Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding.ใใโWouldnโt it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?โโHey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Letโs spice things up a little!โ The bridesmaids started planning something.โYou guys better be careful. Youโre all pregnant. Donโt stir up too much chaos,โ Summer said with a smile. โSeriously, itโs as they say: women always side with their husbands once theyโre married. Look at you, youโre already siding with him.โ A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. โCongratulations, Sum.โHers and Jasperโs 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 Edwardโs mother because of her meeting with Hannaโs mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edwardโs father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. โAbout this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.โEdwardโs mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. โIt was all my fault.โEdwardโs father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.โI... 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!โ Edwardโs mother panicked and started crying. Edwardโs father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. โIs this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.โEdwardโs mother sobb
โI deserve it!โNieva 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.โฆโฆ At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...โAre you Hanna Delacruz? Letโs talk.โEdwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.โEdward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.โโMom...โ Edward felt a little guilty. โI know about everything.โ Edwardโs mother shook her head. โThis matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hannaโs mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...โโMom, this is no oneโs fault.โ Edward shook his head. In the study...Edwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. โAre you Venusโ daughter?โโDo you still remember my mother?โ 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 Roseโs son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.โLetโs go home...โ Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.โSamson...โ Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.โFrom now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.โ 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 familyโs 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.โTsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?โ He was Summerโs 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.โJasper frowned. โSince he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?โJasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.โJasper, you can just confess if youโre scared. You donโt have to put yourself in a higher status.โ Keane rolled his eyes.โFine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.โ Jasper was threatening Keane.โJasper, Iโm sorry, itโs my fault...โโฆ...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.โLook at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
