Summer took her phone and wanted to leave. She tacitly agreed to what Jasper said. “What?” Jasper chuckled. He reached out to grab Summer’s wrist and pinned her against the wall. “Are you punishing yourself or me? You suddenly came into my life, made me fall in love with you, give birth to a child, and decided to just leave. Punishing yourself, huh? Are you punishing yourself or me?!”The atmosphere instantly became still. Jasper lost his composure. Summer felt as if there was something stuck in her throat. ‘I never wanted to punish anyone. It’s all my fault.’“Listen, Summer. I don’t care what sort of person or God Ace is to you. You’re my woman. Even if there’s a punishment, I should be the one being punished. Don’t you torment yourself,” Jasper said word by word as he warned Summer while gripping her chin. “Samson will never know about this. If he finds out one day, Ace will definitely be the one who told him.”Jasper already had a general idea of what was going on, Ace was t
“Do you know how eagles educate their babies? Before flying in the sky, eaglets will be pushed down the abyss and get their wings broken. Only the surviving eaglets can strengthen their wings and fly in the blue sky.” Ace pointed at the dark sky and began to speak again with a smile, “Since I let her go, there must be a way for her to come back willingly.”"Are you trying to drive her into a corner?” The woman shivered as she got up and shook her head. “Ace, sometimes I think that women who are loved by you are very blessed. Sometimes… I think it’s terrifying to be loved by you.”“They are lucky to be my partners.” Ace smiled in a profound manner for a moment as he raised his glass of wine at that woman.“Yes, I'm sure I'm lucky to work with you. I’m even luckier that you're not in love with me.” The woman let out a sigh of relief. She then stood up and picked up her coat. “I look forward to our cooperation in the future. As for Jasper, I will try to contact him.”Ace smiled and no
‘Too bad. I now have an idiotic dog, and I’m reluctant to let it go.‘Or else, I will definitely make Ace mine, even if he’s not interested in me.’“My girl needs to grow. No matter what happens during the process of her growth, they will not cause any conflict with each other.” Ace figured that Victor had come to warn him.Victor was very smart. He should have guessed that when he kidnapped Summer in the beginning… it ended up with him handing Summer over to be married to Jasper. “Aren't you afraid that the child you raised might suddenly escape from you?” Victor said with a smile as he felt sorry for Ace.“Can she?” Ace smiled. Victor nodded. ‘Indeed, Ace has the ability to completely destroy Summer and make sure she has nowhere to go, except to him.’“Actually, I like Summer very much. Because of her help, I’m able to be the head of my family,” Victor said, finding it a pity in his heart. “Even without Summer’s help, you’ll still be able to be the head of the Ross family.
“Open the file. Let me see what’s inside.” Samson was unsure who sent the document. If it turned out to be spam, he might as well ask Cosmo to throw it away. Cosmo obediently opened the file. He looked at the document and sucked in a breath.“What is it?” Samson frowned. He was so busy carrying his children that he did not have the time to look at the document.“No… nothing!” Cosmo was terrified. He nervously closed the file, not knowing if he should let Samson see it or not.It was a diagnosis report. Dissociative Identity Disorder, otherwise known as split personality disorder. It was a kind of mental disorder. It was often confused with dyskinesia, which was named as Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) in the earlier version of DSM, and later renamed as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Split personalities meant that there was more than one personality (if there were only two personalities, it was called “dual personalities”), which was like having several souls living in
Samson had been blaming himself all this time. He blamed himself for not being able to recognize Summer right away and protect her. Instead, he let other people hurt her… “I’ll… warm the babies’ milk before I go.” Cosmo stumbled as he went to the refrigerator to get the milk. He felt so rattled that it was as if he was pierced by pieces of broken glass. There were tears in his eyes. Growing up, he had never felt so aggrieved. This made him want to bawl his eyes out. When Summer used Naomi's identity, Benjamin warned him not to tell anyone. Since he promised Benjamin this, even if things were to start over, he would still not tell Samson about it. Cosmo really wanted to say something in retort. ‘In the beginning, Benjamin can recognize Naomi as Summer at a glance. Why can’t you do the same, Samson? It’s all because you have been holding on to too many grudges. And because of that, you always think the worst of everyone.’Even if this had to do with Samson's upbringing, as fello
“Yes, I admit… In the beginning, I thought of all kinds of ways to take revenge on Alaric. Of course, the best way is to have him taste his own medicine. You know that my mother’s mental health has been on the verge of falling apart all this while. She also has an extreme case of borderline personality disorder. Summer's secondary identity is born due to a trauma caused by my mother. At that time, I thought about letting Ace control this personality, but I just wanted to let the secondary identity scare Alaric occasionally. I didn't know…”‘I didn’t know that Ace was a lunatic. ‘I didn’t know the relationship between the secondary identity and Ace.’ “She hides very well and seldom appears. More often than not, she listens to Ace and is very good at putting up a disguise. I once told her that she’s a monster in Summer's body. If she were found, she would be killed. She seldom exposes herself…” Benjamin took a deep breath and spoke again, “But it's definitely not what you think. Sum
Of course, River could not bear the sight of him as well and often let people secretly torment him, beat him up, and bully him."I've been friggin’ following you for quite some time. This is already not the first time. Didn’t you notice it at all?" River could not stand him anymore."Are you crazy, why are you following me?" Cosmo's first reaction was not that someone wanted to kill him, but why River was following him."It's none of your business, someone asked me to protect you secretly!" River got up and dusted off the dirt on his body. "You better be careful these days. You’re a chairman of such a big company, why would you be hailing a cab?!"Cosmo felt somewhat ashamed because of what he said. He was a chairman, but he had no money."You don’t have a driver? I'll be your driver then." River pointed to the dashing motorcycle in the distance. "No need for any salary, someone paid me.""Who?" Cosmo asked."It’s a secret!" River gestured with his chin and led Cosmo away from t
"Jasper, that’s enough!" Summer felt resigned, but she did not feel the tragic feeling others would have when they were imprisoned. The fetters on her ankles were like a joke. Jasper surprisingly wrapped it up with a small handkerchief because he was afraid that she would end up with lacerations on her ankles. She was not a fool either. She knew that Jasper would be extremely caring towards her even if he had not recovered his memories yet.But she dared not respond to Jasper now.She had not seen Ace for one day and one night, and she did not pick up many of Ace’s calls.She did not know whether he would do anything terrible."I’ve been set up by you for so long, I have to gain back some benefits in some way right?" Jasper raised the corner of his mouth and pinned her down before biting her.Summer sighed. Benefits? When she lost her memories, he already had taken enough advantage of her, right?"You feel safe to let Little Chestnut be in someone else's house?" Summer had no
“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.
