"Summerโs already Samson's fiancรฉe, but she still decided to bear Jasper's child. Can't you see whatโs 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 doesnโt 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 Iโve been absentโฆ hasnโt there been anyone whoโs taken good care of youโฆ?" Lydia asked quietly, and her voice was slightly hoarse."I made your favorite porridge and fried dumplings. You should eat them while theyโre 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 fiancรฉe. 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.
He really wanted to kill this bastard.Seriously, he should have had a diviner do a reading before he went and got acquainted with this guy. Back then, he should not have saved him. He should have just let those people kill him along with the hospital director..."I promise I will love you well, okay?" Adrian held James' sturdy arm with great determination and did not let go no matter what he said."Adrian!" Aaron came through the door with lunch and saw Adrian hugging James and not letting go. He was so angry that his face turned red. He swore that he did not have such a younger brother!"You, let him go!" He gave Adrian a threatening look. Aaron wanted to kick him to death.Was Adrian not a normal dude? The Seawind family was still counting on this bastard to continue the family line!"Big Brotherโฆ what are you doing? This is my wife!" Adrian was, instead, very protective of James."At least you know that Iโm your brother." Aaron curled his lips, but he did not smile. He j
โJaz has gone to the Miller familyโs mansion. Are you looking for him?" Summer asked in a low voice."I'm looking for you," Lydia said coldly. She still did not have a good impression of Summer. "Is there anything you want?" Summer motioned for the servant to open the door, knowing that Lydia was afraid to do anything to her in front of those people."Nothing. I just have something to clear up." Lydia smiled and reached out to hold Summer's wrist. "Didn't you say that the child belongs to Big Brother Jasper? Since youโre so confident and don't want to check it yourself, I will check it for you."After Lydia spoke, she motioned the nurse next to her to come and take blood samples."Hello, madam, I am a nurse from the Sea City Maternal and Child DNA Diagnostic Center. You can rest assured that we only need to take 10 ml of venous blood. We will not need to perform an amniocentesis test." The nurse smiled and motioned for Summer not to panic. "Our blood collection instruments are al
It was obvious that she was using this woman called Lydia to deepen their conflict. Naturally, Summerโs child belonged to Jasper. He had done a paternity test a long time ago, and he believed that Rose was already aware of the results.But he was curious about what Rose was trying next. โLydia, Jaz has gone to the Miller family. If he finds out that you lied to him, he wonโt forgive you,โ Summer asked the servant to call Jasper. The servant had secretly sent a message to Jasper and anxiously protected Summer. โItโs better for us to make plans only after the master comes back.โโHow dare they bully Summer so brazenly? Do they think that my cousin can be easily bullied now?โ Keane was chewing a lollipop and walked over. He stared at Summer for a long time. โHello, Sister-in-law, Iโm Keane, Iโm your cousin.โSummer smiled awkwardly. This friendly cousin was just like her mother-in-law, Melody. Even his eyes looked more like Melody than Jasperโs did. โHello, cousin...โ Summer no
โKeane?โ Elly stepped out of Jamesโ mansion. When she caught sight of them, she saw Keane moving closer to Summer. Elly frowned slightly, and her gaze darkened a little. How dare he tease Jasper's wife? He was just asking for death. โYou areโฆ?โ Summer was stunned and looked at Elly for some time. She found her a little familiar. โMs. Summer, you got the wrong person.โ Elly smiled faintly at Summer and planned to leave. Since her identity as Amanda Lea had been used by that person, she did not intend to hide her true identity anymore. But... she just did not want Summer to know about it. Summer was that naive. Even if she knew that she was Amanda Lea, she would not say much. โPretty girl, why are you leaving just like that?โ Keane immediately chased after her. โI have to talk to you about something!โโGet lost!โ Elly scolded him coldly. Keane kept chasing Elly shamelessly and refused to leave.โSum!โ Jasper drove back anxiously and hugged Summer in his arms once he got o
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.
