“Do you want to tell me why? Why were you forced to take estrogen?” Ivan asked, he was not sure whether Victor would tell him. “Aren’t you a free man now? You’re no longer my dog. Why should I tell you?” Victor sneered. There was a threatening look in his eyes.“I... can you learn how to respect others? I’m free now, so I have the same status as you, and I can stay beside you without needing to hide.” Ivan thought that since Victor did not have any trustworthy people beside him...Victor was a skeptical person, and he never kept anyone beside him. Even if he knew that he was in danger, he would not keep anyone beside him. So, Ivan was truly an exception. “It’s best for us to ignore the things that we shouldn’t know. Since you want to stay by my side, you have to be a good dog.” Victor ruffled Ivan’s hair, smiled, and continued to eat the fruits.“What’s with your obsession with dogs?” Ivan felt like hitting Victor. However, he was injured now, and whenever he tried to move,
Summer instantly felt a chill in her body. Should she let Victoria in...?“Jasper! What’s wrong with you?!” Victoria asked in panic and saw the strange look on Jasper. Was he sick?Summer glanced at Jasper and did not want to open the door for Victoria. “Just do as you wish!”After saying this angrily, Summer walked past Jasper and returned to the room. Jasper rubbed his forehead. What had he done yesterday? Why was he in such a condition?“Summer, did you take revenge on me while I was sleeping last night? Why are my hands... hurting so much?” Jasper winced.Summer ignored Jasper's roar. She panicked while hugging her baby.‘Is he going to let Victoria stay at their mansion?’“Jasper, are you alright? Why are you having a fever? I’m really worried about letting you stay alone with that woman!” Victoria said angrily in the living room. “She is getting more arrogant now!” Jasper shouted angrily. “Summer, come out now! I’m hungry!”Victoria felt a little awkward when Jasper i
Victoria was the only one who knew him best. She used to be a real joke. She would always come up with all sorts of food that she thought tasted good.She loved sweet food, and hence, she thought that the food she liked was the best.Unfortunately, Jasper did not like them. Even when he told her that he loved her and even begged her to stay, even if he did not like to eat them, he pretended that he did. It was really hard to change a person’s preference. After all, a person’s tastes were innate.Sure enough, she had been too naive. “Do you want to grab something to eat?” Jasper got up and asked. “Victoria seldom cooks, and her food doesn’t necessarily suit you.”Summer took a deep breath. With the way he talked, he sounded like he was boasting. Victoria seldom cooked, yet she was willing to cook for him. “How much do you love Victoria?” Summer raised her head and asked this question. This question was the one that she wanted to ask him most, but when she lost her memories
She initially thought that she would be in a rage or, at the very least, agitated, hurt, or had the urge to hit Victoria.But at that moment, Summer felt extremely calm, and she was so calm that it was frightening. Jasper subconsciously stood up and pushed Victoria away. “Vic, we have not met for four years. Some things have changed. For example, I used to love chicken soup, but now, I prefer steak. Do you understand?”There was silence for a long time. Victoria’s tears streamed down and fell to the floor. She understood now. Even if there was no Summer, even if she returned home and intended to get back with Jasper, things would still end tragically.Because Jasper had never truly loved her. “Even if what you said is true about Summer and she got closer to me for a reason, we are already married and have a child together. I am her husband now, and I need to be responsible for it.” Jasper clenched his hands. He had never had such a clear understanding in his life before.Now
Victoria’s body quivered terribly. Her eyes widened as she looked at Summer. ‘How can this be? This is definitely not the Summer that I knew…’She never knew that Summer could be this scary. “So back then, you were just pretending to be weak and fragile? Summer, you’re not a good person either. Don’t you dare to deny that you had never used every method in your disposal to get what you wanted!”“Of course I’d do everything to get what I want. To get what I want and for the sake of the people I want to protect, the methods I used are far worse than yours. Why would I deny it? I could even harm myself to get this body. Do you think that I knew nothing when you kidnapped ‘Summer’? After all these years, you guys are still stupid as hell.”Victoria’s breathing became irregular. She looked at Summer as if she saw a ghost. She gradually backed away. “You… You’re not Summer? Who are you?”“Don’t you know? Summer has dissociative identity disorder.” Summer’s smile widened. She wiped the
Ivan slowly loosened his clenched fists as his gaze wandered about.‘So, it’s because of that incident that caused Victor to lose trust in people?’“What are you all doing? Are you guys fighting?” Victor emerged from the shower. He was only wearing one undershirt. His fair, glowing legs moved across the floor.Perhaps it was because he knew that Benjamin was a clean freak, and that was why he felt at ease as he walked barefooted.Benjamin felt his head throb. ‘Damn it, what an erotic view.’“Hey, you! Dress up!” Ivan rushed over, feeling agitated. He grabbed a coat off the sofa and tied it around Victor's waist.He should be the only one who could stare at those beautiful legs. Victor smirked as he looked at the coat wrapped around his waist in disdain. He then walked towards Aaron indifferently and poked at his chest to provoke him. “What were you guys talking about, huh?”Benjamin sat still calmly, but his fingers moved a little around the glass.Aaron was so terrified that
After Victoria left the mansion in West City, the mansion became much quieter. Summer was in a good mood as she sat on the sofa. She held her baby and hummed a tune. Jasper said that he used to like chicken soup, but now, he preferred steak.Just this alone made Summer decide to give him one more chance. "I’ve cooked the oats and heated the chicken soup from the afternoon. No matter what, the apple of your eye made it for you. You should eat some. After all, your fever just subsided,” Summer said indifferently when she noticed Jasper come downstairs.Jasper raised his hand in a daze and pressed the back of his hand. He walked towards Summer gloomily. “Where is my ring?”Summer looked at the back of Jasper’s hand. The needle had just been pulled out. She shook her head. “I threw it.”“Summer!” Jasper was so angry that he felt a little faint. ‘This woman is really getting on my nerves.’‘Where’s Vic?” Jasper asked as he looked around with a frown. “Did you chase her away?”“Y
“Damn it!” Jasper cursed. His fingers shivered a little.‘She really signed it!’Jasper’s head ached terribly as he sat on the bed helplessly. He wanted to call Summer, bring her back, and lock her up. “The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later…”Jasper suddenly sat up straight on the bed and started calling the number again and again. The end results were still the same. She had switched off her phone. Summer was obviously not playing around. At the apartment for medical professionals… “Are you ready to welcome our little angel?” Victor raised the corner of his lips and directed Ivan, who was seriously injured, to decorate the apartment so that it gave off a warm atmosphere.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Aaron gulped. He just got out of the hospital, so he did not want to enter a child’s playground right now.“I’m guessing… Benjamin will kill you once he gets back from Miller Corporation.” James raised his hand and massaged the muscles in bet
“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.
