He remembered Summer making a wish on his birthday last year.Perhaps, her wish had come true a long time ago.“There’s no rush…”Jasper’s cell phone rang, cutting him off. “Hello, mom?”Ever since Marvin Miller let Jasper take over the family business, he had been vacationing in Europe with his wife. He rarely kept in touch with his son, as if his son did not exist at all.“Your father and I are back. We saw in the news that you’re getting married. How can you get married without us around?” Mrs. Miller’s tone was scornful. “Another thing. It seems that you have not given up after all these years. I couldn’t care less about who you marry, but I’m never going to agree to your marriage with Victoria.”Jasper was bewildered. His mother disliked Victoria very much, and he did not know why. Ever since he was young, his mother did not like him to hang out with Victoria.When Jasper had first shown signs that he was interested in Victoria, Mrs. Miller had warned him about it. She said
“Is there anyone who’s a more suitable candidate than Jasper? That’s why I must make Jasper marry me no matter what.”Victoria no longer placed any hope on Samson. As long as Summer was alive, she did not stand a chance with Samson.But she was adamant on making Jasper hers.At the Ardly family’s mansion.“Sum, since I’ve just taken over the Ardly family’s business, I’m obligated to attend the charity dinner held by Sea City Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. Do you…,” Samson asked probingly. He was not sure if Summer would want to attend, as it was a pretty important charity dinner with plenty of powerful people, and Jasper would definitely be in attendance.“I’ll attend the dinner with you.” Summer almost did not hesitate at all. She raised her head to smile at Samson.She wanted to slowly expand her business into Sea City too. Hence, the charity dinner was an extremely good place for her to get to know more businessmen.Samson pulled Summer into an embrace and kissed her forehead.
Samson shook his head. Originally, he had wanted to marry Summer as soon as possible to prevent any problems from arising in the future.But now...He wanted to respect Summer’s decision.“I’ll give you time and space. I’ll move back into the old mansion my family owns from tomorrow onwards. I’ll wait for you to clear your head and know what you really want. I’ll wait for you…” Samson wiped the tears off the corners of Summer’s eyes. If he were to force Summer to be with him, what difference would there be between him and Jasper?Summer hugged herself tight. Her mind was a mess.As usual, Samson was the one who understood her the most.“Give me some time. It probably wouldn’t be too long.” It probably would not be too long.She did not have much time left.At the charity dinner held by Sea City Chamber of Commerce.Summer was wearing a long dress which was the color of wine, and her jet black hair fell over her shoulders.“Who’s that woman? I’ve never seen her before. She’s s
Summer raised her head to glance at Samson. She then asked with a smile, “What right do you have to tell me to do that?”Jasper froze for a moment. For some reason, he found Summer breathtakingly beautiful when she was acting in such a domineering and wild manner.“Chairman Miller has the right to do that as Vic’s fiance!” Grace said, deliberately putting Victoria on a pedestal.Jasper furrowed his eyebrows. He was a little annoyed.“Why? Is a woman better than everyone else just because she’s Jasper Miller’s fiancee, to the point that my fiancee has to apologize to her?”Samson, who was standing behind Summer, wrapped his arms around Summer. He was emanating an extremely cold aura as he looked at Victoria and Grace.“What right do the two of you have to threaten my woman?”The atmosphere was rather tense, and Samson’s wrath was even more horrifying than that of Jasper.Grace was so scared that she was trembling. Victoria had never told her that Summer was Samson’s fiancee.“Y
Jasper panicked too. He grabbed Victoria’s arm. “You’ve had too much to drink. You should head back and rest.”“Jasper, are you going to stand by idly and watch her bully me just like this?” Victoria did not intend to end the conflict now. She wanted to tell everyone everything that Summer had done.Jasper suddenly experienced double vision. He raised his hand to massage the space between his eyebrows, and his body was heating up.He had only drunk one glass of wine tonight. This did not feel quite right.“Jasper, you must be tired. Let’s head back and rest.” When Victoria saw that something was not quite right with Jasper, Victoria anxiously grabbed his arm and tried to leave the venue with him.Jasper gave Victoria a profound look, and his expression became increasingly grim.“Chairman Miller…” When Jasper’s personal assistant saw that something was wrong with him, he walked over and asked, “Should I bring you home now?”“There’s no need for that. I’ll bring Jasper home. You m
Summer stopped in her tracks. She did not catch what Jasper had said. “Chairman Miller, you’ve probably been framed by someone. You better hurry up and call your personal assistant. People might take you for a pervert for staying in the female bathroom for such a long time.”Summer left the bathroom and returned to the venue of the charity dinner, and she ignored everyone who was looking at her.She did not care about what everyone said about her.Why should she?They did not matter to her. They were undeserving of her attention.“Sum?”Summer was walking absentmindedly as someone forcefully grabbed his wrist all of a sudden. The other party’s voice was a little agitated. There was even a hint of anxiousness in it.Summer raised her head abruptly and looked at the man beside her. “Cousin brother?”“Summy!”The other party anxiously pulled Summer into an embrace, and he seemed to be taking a long time to register what was going on. “You’re still alive! Why didn’t you go home? W
Even though Samson was not by her side tonight, Summer still had difficulty falling asleep.She had known Samson for seven years. During that period of time, they had met each other and fallen in love with each other. She was then kidnapped and forced to separate from Sanson.Throughout these seven years, she had gotten completely used to having Samson by her side.But for the entire year after she lost her memory, she took this reliance she had on Samson and imposed it on Jasper instead.“My name is Summer Plath. What’s your name?The first time Summer brought Samson home, she clumsily applied mediation on his wounds as she asked for his name.At that time, Summer was seventeen, and Samson was eighteen.They met at the best times of their lives, and their love blossomed in the season of youth.“My name is Samson Ardly. Samson is the hebrew word for ‘sun’.” That was the first time Samson had smiled from the bottom from his heart. It was also the first time he dropped all preten
Buzz!Jasper was carried out of the women’s bathroom by his personal assistant, and he was unconscious all night. When he woke up, there was an IV drip attached to the back of his hand.Jasper pulled the cannula out in agitation, and he emanated an extremely dreary aura.This was the first time Jasper had cut such a flustered state in his life!The vibration of his cell phone woke him up, and Jasper glanced at the caller display in agitation.It was a call from Victoria.“Damn it!” Jasper forcefully tossed his cell phone away, and the dreary aura he was emanating became increasingly stronger.“Chairman Miller!” Jasper’s personal assistant was holding a plate of food as he came in. He picked up Jasper’s cell phone from the floor a little worriedly.“What did you manage to find out?” Jasper asked coldly and sucked in a sharp breath.Summer really kicked him hard under the belt. His crotch hurt with the slightest movement right now.“It was Miss Dawn. She was the only one who ha
“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.
