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. "Iโฆ Iโm 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 itโs Monday tomorrow? Today, I..." Natalie was confused."Youโre 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 Natalieโs 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 weโre the same." Samson leaned on the sofa and continued smoking."Sum asked me to accompany you so that you can feel how itโs 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 Iโm your elder, you should be obedient and listen to me. You can
Cosmo was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew Samson's purpose. At the beginning, the Hamilton family went against Samson because of what they did to Summer. With Samson's temperament, he would definitely make Universal Movies disappear in Sea City. But he did not know why Samson had changed his mind. However, after Cosmo took over Universal Movies, he had been cautious, fearful that Samson would take action on Universal Movies...That was why he spent his time around Samson so peacefully every day."Do you want to keep Universal Movies?" Samson raised his head and asked."Yes, of course, that's for sure, thatโs what the Hamilton family owes us." Cosmo nodded."Okay, then live here. Did you see that kid just now? Take care of him," Samson said plainly, leaving Cosmo behind. With this, even if Rose came over, she would continue misunderstanding things. As long as she, even for a time, misunderstood that Cosmo and him shared an ambiguous relationship, she would start taking act
"Miss Summerโฆ I-Iโm Natalie." Her confidence seemed to falter through the phone as she stammered."Nat?" Summer was taken aback as she smiled and continued, "Wade gave you my phone number, right?""Well, Iโฆ I thought about it. If I meet the company's conditions, then I... can I join the company?""No problem. Let's make an appointment to meet tomorrow. Iโm not very familiar with the details of the work process. Weโll have to learn together," Summer said modestly. After all, she really did not understand it very well.Jasper felt as if he had just brought trouble on himself. Now, all his wife was concerned about was work, she did not think of him at all.The more Jasper thought about it, the more he felt that he would soon not be the only thing in Summerโs eyes. She would have friends and a job, and her life would be better without him.The inexplicable sense of crisis made Jasper vigilant. After hanging up the phone, Summer strolled happily, holding her cell phone to send messa
"Youโre a stubborn one." Alaric sighed and said again, "Don't tell me you came to me to continue drinking fish soup.""Uncle, how much do you know about Rose?" Victor raised the corners of his mouth, got up, and sat by the side."This woman is very ambitious, thatโs all that I know." Alaric obviously did not intend to say more."Really? You donโt want to tell me more? My people wanted to take you away, but you coincidentally distracted your own people before my people went to you. You even ingeniously made your own house explode, making everyone feel like you were kidnapped by someone else and that your life or death is uncertain. I have been taking the blame for you all this while, uncle. Jasper even threatened me, if he knew that I was the one who kidnapped you, heโd make my life very miserable..." Victor continued to pick up some pebbles and throw them into the water."And thereโs Rose, she came to me that day and asked if I hid you. Rose Rogers initially talked about cooperatin
โOkay, thanks, Uncle Wade. Sorry for troubling you,โ Summer said politely and continued to look at the material in her hands.On the ground floor of Plath Corporation, Natalie stood in a clean white dress, with her long hair reaching to the waist, and light makeup. She seemed extremely clean and beautiful.Natalie lowered her head and looked at her phone, and pain flashed past her beautiful gaze. It had been three days. Yadon had not called her even once. Their contract was due today, and she would be free. [Mr. Caballero, thank you for taking good care of me for the past three years and for introducing me to Chairman Plath. I found a job at Plath Corporation. I wish you the best.] After drafting the message, Natalie wanted to send it to Yadon, but she thought for a while and felt that he would feel that she was doing things she should not do.After hesitating for a long time, she deleted the message, braced her nerves, and called Yadon. โLet me be willful one last time.
โMs. Plath, please save Lids.โ Mr. Larson knelt on the floor, cried, and kowtowed to Summer. He refused to stand up no matter how Summer tried to pull him up. โAh...โ Since she could not stand steadily due to her pregnancy, Summer was nearly pulled down by Mr. Larson.โSum!โ Coincidently, Natalie entered the main hall at that moment. She ran over in a panic to hold Summer. โC-chairman... Plath.โNatalie felt that the way she addressed Summer was not suitable, so she changed her address to Chairman Plath. After all, they were in the office. โThank you.โ Summer looked at Natalie gratefully and stood up straight. โMr. Larson, it is useless for you to beg me on this matter. You should look for a doctor.โSummer had no time to think about why Mr. Larson knew that she was in the company, but the way he addressed her as Ms. Plath did not change.This explained that he did not acknowledge her as Jasperโs wife. โMs. Plath, itโs useless. The doctor says that if this continues, even if
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.
