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.Summer’s 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.“Butler! Mr. Larson! Young Master! All of you… all of you, you have to come and have a look!” Outside, a servant yelled frantically. “All of you, look at who has come back home!”Jasper frowned. He stood up and left. “Let’s eat.” 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. ‘I never promised Lydia that I would marry her.’He 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 Summer’s existence long ago. “Jaz…” Summer called out tentatively. She held her stomach as she walked out. “Jaz, who’s she?”Lydia’s 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. “Sum…” Jasper rapidly turned and embraced Summer with a frown. “She’s Lydia, the younger sister that I mentioned.”Mr. Larson became worried and grabbed Lydia's arm to take her away. “Lids, you haven't been home for the past three years. A lot of things happened. I will tell you about it slowly.”Lydia stood still as she looked into Jasper’s eyes. “Who’s she?”“She’s my wife, Summer,” Jasper said plainly. His express
‘Before this, no matter how much Jasper was in love with Victoria, he never told her that he loved her in front of me.‘And now, he was actually telling me in my face that he likes this woman.‘What’s so charming about this woman? What is so good about her?’Summer's heart beat rapidly as she raised her head and looked into Jasper’s eyes.No matter how many unpleasant experiences they had gone through, once Jasper became certain that he loved her, he always dealt with his relationships very cleanly and efficientlyIf he loved someone, he loved them, and if he did not, he would not love them no matter what. She was relieved. Although she felt sorry for Lydia, she was still a little overjoyed at how Jasper responded to Lydia directly. He told her that the person he loved was Summer.“It’s getting late. We should get back already.” Jasper held Summer in his arms and kissed her on the forehead. He whispered, “Don’t be mad, it’s not good for you. I’ll explain it to you once we get b
At a cafe on the street, Victoria sat by the french window as she waited for Lydia. She looked slightly absent-minded. The weather was not too hot, but the cloudy sky seemed to indicate that the weather might be changing soon. Sea City’s autumn season was always short-lived, and all it had was either the autumn rain, or cold weather.Victoria's fingertips were a little cold. Her fingers never became warm again, even though she had been holding the warm coffee mug for a long time. “Victoria?” Lydia asked tentatively. It was not because she had forgotten what Victoria looked like after three years, but it was because she doubted that this pale woman with obvious bruises was Victoria.In her memories, Victoria was always the eldest daughter of the Dawn family, and she always stood supreme to others. She also heard from her father last night that Victoria had fallen. Lydia was happy when she heard the news. She came here early to see how far this once superior lady had fallen.
"Summer’s already Samson's fiancée, but she still decided to bear Jasper's child. Can't you see what’s happening?" Victoria asked as she narrowed her eyes."I don't understand..." Lydia could not fathom the situation at the moment."Samson is currently the most influential person in Sea City. His influence is comparable to that of Jasper's during his heyday in the commercial district. But after Jasper announced that he decided to be with Summer because of his child, the entire Miller Corporation was affected. Samson suppressed Jasper in various ways and became enemies with him. Plus, he almost forced Jasper into a dead end..."Lydia clenched her fists tightly. It had only been three years. How did Sea City change so much?"Summer and Samson have been together since the beginning. I used to be classmates with Summer when I was studying in Country M. Summer loved Samson so much. Why did she suddenly choose Jasper? She doesn’t love Jasper at all. She just wants to take everything from
Once certain things changed, they could never go back to the way they were, just like how they could never go back to being siblings. "Big Brother Jasper, I heard my dad say that your stomach is unwell. During these few years that I’ve been absent… hasn’t there been anyone who’s taken good care of you…?" Lydia asked quietly, and her voice was slightly hoarse."I made your favorite porridge and fried dumplings. You should eat them while they’re hot." Before Jasper could speak, Lydia put the food on the table.She looked at the plain vegetable porridge and side dishes on the table. There was a pained look in her eyes. "Big Brother Jasper, are you just eat this in the morning? Does she... only know how to make these dishes?"She could not bring herself to call Summer her sister-in-law.This man should have been her boyfriend and belonged to her, so why should he be snatched away while she was gone?She could not accept it.Summer happened to hear Lydia accuse her of neglecting Jas
Jasper looked at Summer with a faint smile. He always felt that he could have fun at all times with Summer.Lydia's vision became a little blurred. She secretly gripped her chopsticks with even more force.Tears filled the brim of her eyes. She never knew that Jasper could be so good to a woman, even if the woman was lying to him."Big Brother Jasper, have you done a paternity test?" Lydia summoned up her courage to speak, knowing that since she had just returned, Jasper would not blame her no matter what she did."What?" Jasper frowned."I heard that she was Samson's fiancée. Have you ever done a paternity test? Didn't both of you get together because of the child?" Lydia could not help but burst into tears after she spoke."Summer is my wife..." Jasper got a little angry and was about to raise his voice when Summer grabbed him under the table.Despite everything, she had just returned, and she was even crying..."Lids, you just got back. Someone might have set up your disappe
"That depends on your skills. Honestly, Jasper still has some form of affection for you. After all, he has treated you like a sister since he was a child. In the past three years following your disappearance, all news about you had been a taboo subject to Jasper. No one dared to talk about it," Victoria said again and tried to make Lydia take a firm stance."Okay, I'll find a way." Lydia hung up after she finished her sentence. At Sea City Hospital, Adrian was in a daze because of the bombing, and his memory was a bit messy."Adrian..." Yone came to see Adrian. She was standing outside the door and had been waiting for him for a long time.But James' people did not let her in."Who are you?" Adrian touched his shaved head that had been bandaged sturdily and asked curiously. James was cutting an apple, and his hand paused for a moment as he subconsciously glanced at Adrian.He forgot who Yone was?For some reason, he subconsciously felt happy that Adrian had forgotten Yone.
“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.
