“Jaz, I met Mr. Larson just now.” Summer felt that she had to tell Jasper about Mr. Larson. “What did he say?” Jasper was anxious. “Nothing. He asked if you could help Lydia, but I refused.” Summer lowered her head, feeling down. Jasper let out a sigh of relief. “Do you mind joining me for dinner tonight? We’ll be going to my friend’s house. He insisted that we try the food cooked by this great chef he found,” Jasper said helplessly.“Alright.” Summer nodded. “Can you arrange someone to take care of Julia? She has twins in her womb, and she’s not feeling well.”“Okay, don’t worry.” Jasper nodded. In the ward...“Julia don't worry. Just stay in the hospital. Jaz has assigned someone to take care of you and your children. As for what I said, you can think about it. I don't want much. Hand me the evidence that Victoria participated in the kidnapping, and I’ll guarantee that you’ll be safe at all times.” Summer took a deep breath before she spoke faintly.Julia looked at Summer
Everybody in Sea City knew about Yadon Caballero’s reputation. He would flirt around with different women regularly. Hence, others gave him the nickname, Rich Caballero. Jasper looked at the girl a little closer. She was not very pretty, but she did look young and innocent. Her skin was not as fair as Summer’s, but she was taller than her. In short, she was not prettier than his wife. When it came to Summer’s appearance, Jasper was confident that no one else in Sea City could compare… Well, he was not willing to look at anyone else right now, anyway. “This is Jasper, the fallen former chairman of Miller Corporation. He’s an example of someone who was fired and whose wife cheated on him. He’s good-for-nothing, drinks until his liver gives up on him, and a man who does no honest—”“Shut up, and don't let my wife hear you.” Jasper kicked Yadon to shut him up.Yadon laughed so much that he bent his waist. But the girl in his arms turned pale, feeling frightened. “Chairman Cabal
“He’s one of the members of the Ross family from Country M.” Jasper was worried about Adrian. He was not sure if the screws on his brain came loose for real or if he had plans of his own. “Adrian is just a doctor. It’s not like he has anything to do with the business field. Isn’t his father the one in charge of all the production of pharmaceutical products? What’s he doing, bothering the son of the Coleman family?” Yadon wondered in puzzlement. “It's true that James bothered Adrian first,” Jasper said helplessly. James was the one who kind of caused trouble to himself. At the beach, Summer was sitting happily on the tire swing with her eyes closed.‘The environment here is great. The sea breeze is so comfortable.’ “What’s your name?” Summer asked as she gave the girl a side glance. Her impression of her was pretty good. “I’m Summer. This is my baby.” Summer smiled and pointed at her stomach as she introduced herself. “I’m… I’m Natalie. I’m Mr. Caballero’s newly hired nan…
“Okay. I will have my assistant send the contract for you tomorrow,” Jasper said readily. If Yadon had already spoken in such a manner, it meant that he was doing Jasper a favor. His wife was still relying on Yadon to use his connections to help her, after all. Natalie was in shock as she looked at Summer, who was by the side. “You mean Mr. Miller was blind?”The news did not mention that. Jasper used to be Sea City’s most popular person. His appearances were higher than that of any celebrity, but he actually had an eye disease?Summer was amused by how serious Natalie was. She was such a simple girl. “He was blindly in love with another girl.”Natalie took a long time to react to this. She then could not help but laugh. Jasper was watching his wife, and he never wanted to remove his gaze from her. He never realized that Summer looked so gorgeous when she smiled. “I like your little lover over here.” Jasper tapped on a table. He favored anyone who could make his wife happy.
After Natalie was done cooking, she cautiously cleaned the kitchen. She did not dare to go out. She was not fit to have a meal together with Yadon and his friends, especially someone like Jasper. “Wow, these are so scrumptious!” Summer was surprised at how many dishes were on the table. It was obvious that Natalie put a lot of effort into preparing them. She knew what Summer should and should not eat due to her pregnancy. “Where’s Nat? Why isn’t she eating with us?”Jasper gave some green vegetables to Summer. He did not have to be courteous around Yadon. “Quick, call your little chef to eat.”Yadon frowned. She… was just a lover who could not be brought to the table. She might not even count as his lover. Why should she join them for dinner? “Let’s not care about her. She still needs to attend college tomorrow. It’s Monday tomorrow.”In the kitchen, Natalie stood by the door nervously. Her eyes were tearing up. “Why didn’t she eat before she left?” Summer was puzzled. “Didn
At the mansion by the sea..."Where are you going?" Yadon asked as he sat on the sofa when he saw that Natalie had finished packing and was about to leave. "I… I’m going back to school." Natalie lowered her head."Did I tell you to go?" Yadon frowned and was slightly displeased."But... didn't you say that it’s Monday tomorrow? Today, I..." Natalie was confused."You’re already an intern. Why do you want to go back? I just said that for Jasper and Summer. Come here!" Yadon was a little irritated.Natalie paused. In truth, he just did not want her to eat at the table, right?"Mr. Yadon, our contract expires in three days." Natalie looked down, and her voice was a little hoarse.She was short of money, and Yadon took care of her.Unlike the other sugar babies he took care of, she had to be a nanny besides being a bed partner."You don't need to report that to me every day!" Yadon lost interest instantly. He had been Natalie’s sugar daddy for three years, and it started when
It was already afternoon the next day when Samson woke up in the Ardly family's mansion, and the sky was a little cloudy. He was the only person in the house, and the feeling of loneliness had indeed engulfed his whole being.He raised his hand to rub his forehead and took a deep breath.Maybe... it was time for him to step out of the past and think about whether he wanted to keep the two children.Summer said that Julia was pregnant with twins...He was actually uncertain. It had to almost be time for the children to be born. If they were born... he was not sure if he could be a good dad. Samson was not a good son. He had never demonstrated much filial piety toward Colden and never was a good boyfriend. If he had been good... Sum would not have been in so much despair that she felt compelled to leave him. Being a father was also an unfamiliar role for him. It would be his first time being one. He wanted to play the role well, but it seemed difficult.After getting up and lo
After hanging up, Samson threw the phone at Ben. "You want to live here?"Ben gave Samson a resentful look. He did not want to live there. "I don't want to...""Then get out, or I'll call Rose to pick you up." As Samson spoke, he began to call her. He did not treat Ben as an eight-year-old child at all."Are you even my brother? I hate you!" Ben snorted, folding his hands in front of his chest with a cold, arrogant look on his face.Samson had a terrible headache. He looked at Ben for a while, and the little child did look a bit like him when he was a child."I don't like you very much either. I guess we’re the same." Samson leaned on the sofa and continued smoking."Sum asked me to accompany you so that you can feel how it’s like being an elder in advance." Ben came with a purpose. Summer told him that once Samson agreed to keep Julia's children, his duty would be done, and he could then return. "If you know that I’m your elder, you should be obedient and listen to me. You can
“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.
