Chapter 5

‘Who do you think you are…’

Summer did not know who she was to Jasper either. Was she his sugar baby, or was she an utterly useless idiot?

Before Victoria was back, Jasper was not exactly nice to her either. But every now and then, he was willing to put in a little affection. After Victoria was back, Summer, who was a replacement to begin with, had been rendered utterly useless. She should probably stay as far away from Jasper as possible.

“Jaz, I want to go home…” Summer was close to tears as she said that.

Jasper had promised her that he would investigate her identity and help her recall her past. He had also said that he would bring her to Sea City to look at the ocean when it snowed again the following year.

“Summer, you had been seriously disobedient.” Jasper’s words were laced with threat. He tightened his grip on Summer’s wrist.

Summer was so in pain that her eyes welled up with tears. She did not know what was going on as she gazed at Jasper. “Jaz…”

“I’ve always thought that you’re merely an idiot who had lost her memory. As it seems, your greed knows no bounds.” Jasper narrowed his eyes, and the aura he was emanating became increasingly cold. “Since when did you stop taking birth control pills, hm?”

Jasper had always been very strict with all his sugar babies when it came to this. He did not want any of them to get pregnant and cause trouble.

He thought that Summer was the most naive one out of all of them. He did not expect her to be such a schemer.

“Do you really think that I would marry you just because you’re pregnant? Or, is it because you think that your life would change after you have a baby?” Jasper shoved Summer away forcefully. His patience was being tested. “Get rid of the baby!”

Summer could not recover from the shock for a long time, and her eyes welled up with tears.

‘Pregnant? A baby?’

She lowered her head to look at her belly in panic, and she was so anxious that it was as if her heart was hanging by a thread. “I didn’t…

“Jaz, I didn’t. I’ve been obedient, and I took all the pills on time.”

Summer was seriously panicking. She was pregnant. She had a baby.

She was pregnant with Jasper’s baby.

“Enough of that!” Jasper did not buy it at all. Agitated, he called Adrian again. “Come over here to get her and get rid of the baby!”

…..

Summer looked at Jasper in a panic. He asked her to get rid of the baby.

It was his baby too. How could he be so cruel...

“Jaz, the baby is innocent. Can I leave and take it with me? You can go ahead and live a good life with Miss Dawn. I’ll leave with the baby and take care of it myself. I won’t cause you any trouble at all. Please?” Summer was so flustered that she fell off the bed. She anxiously tugged at the corner of Jasper’s shirt.

He was the father of the baby...

“Let me repeat that. Get rid of the baby!” The aura that Jasper was emanating was extremely cold, and there was not a single hint of affection in his eyes. “You’re not worthy of having my baby.”

Summer sucked in a sharp breath. It was as if her heart was torn in half, and tears were rolling down her cheeks like unstrung pearls.

‘I’m not worthy of having his baby...

‘Yeah. I guess Victoria Dawn is the only one who’s worthy of that…’

There was not an ounce of energy left in Summer’s body as she lay on the floor. She was in despair.

Jasper would never love her.

“Summer, you better be smart and get rid of the baby obediently. That way, I might still let you stay by my side for some time.” Jasper ruffled Summer’s hair and tried to adopt a carrot-and-stick approach.

…..

Summer could hardly breathe. To her, this act of affection was even crueler than death.

“The baby is mine!” Summer got on her feet and shoved Jasper away with all her might.

She did not know how she managed to gain such courage either. This was the first time she was going against Jasper.

Jasper’s eyes immediately turned icy when he saw that this little rabbit, who had always been meek and obedient, was suddenly biting back.

“Go after her and bring her back.” Jasper ordered his subordinates to go after Summer. He did not bother to do it himself.

This idiot, who had lost her memory, did not leave the mansion all year.

He was certain that she would not be able to survive without him!

It was snowing in Sea City.

Summer did not have the time to grab a jacket, and she was barefoot as she tried her best to flee.

Jasper was never her God.

He was the devil.

It was very cold this winter.

Summer was curled up in a corner. Her feet had cracked because of the cold, and blood was seeping out of the cracks. She did not know if she could survive this winter but if she did, she wanted to leave this place with her baby.

“Baby…” Summer muttered softly. She cried for a while and started smiling.

She was pregnant, and it was Jasper’s baby.

This was beyond her wildest dreams.

She had not recovered from her fever yet, and after being in the freezing snow for such a long time, she felt as if her entire body was on fire.

“We’ll be alright. We’ll be alright…”

She could not die. She could not die yet.

…..

“Hello, may I know if I’m able to sell this pendant for some money?” To get some money to survive, Summer entered a jewelry shop in a mall and removed the pendant of her necklace.

She had no memories to call her own, and she did not possess anything that was worth much either. She was wearing this pendant when Jasper found her. Aside from this pendant, she also had a bracelet, which was not exactly exquisite or well-made. This was the only gift Jasper had ever given her, and she was reluctant to sell it for money.

The shop assistant was shocked when he saw the state Summer was in. Not only was she barefoot, but she was also wearing such light clothes on such a cold day. “Please wait for a moment. I’ll ask our store manager to take a look.”

The store manager was sitting in his office. He took a glance at the pendant and immediately rose anxiously.

“Where did you get this!?”
