As for Ace, he only played the role as a catalyst. It really seemed that he had never done anything.But Summer could not figure out how he managed to make someone like Victoria who thrived to live to commit suicide. “Sum.” When Jasper was back, Summer was carrying Little Chestnut as she was seated quietly. Little Chestnut was asleep. Summer seemed to be staring outside blankly.Jasper sucked in a deep breath. For the first time, he felt a sense of home.The moment he saw his family; his lover and child, all his fatigue faded away. He must admit that Summer was naturally gorgeous. There was no need for any other accessories or for her to dress up. She did not even need to put on makeup, it was a simple sort of beauty.Some men might have thought that this kind of beauty was not intense or wild enough, but this natural beauty was comfortable to look at. Buzz!Jasper’s phone vibrated for a moment. He took out his phone and took a glance. He then frowned. Azula had sent h
“I want to transfer the shares of the company to Little Chestnut. As a guardian, you should help her manage them while she’s still incapable to do so.” In fact, Summer intended to give Plath Corporation to Jasper.There were some old-fashioned people in Plath Corporation. The transferring process would not go smoothly if she were to directly transfer her shares to Jasper. If she transferred the shares to her daughter, no one would question her.“Why? What about you?” Jasper frowned. “You know I don't have talent in managing a corporation.” Summer chuckled. She only had three months, and she was running out of time.There were too many things that she needed to settle.It was not because she did not trust Jasper; it was because she knew Ace's ways of working. If he wanted something, he would always be successful in getting it. At the rail station in Mountain City, Azula took a picture of the train ticket at the spot where she was about to leave and sent it to Jasper. Buzz!
In the end, Summer could not continue the conversation anymore. “I’m a monster. In their eyes, I’m a monster. I’m the demon that possessed Summer’s body.“Later on, Benjamin found out about my existence. He told me to hide and protect myself. He told me not to hurt anymore. Benjamin also said that if someone hurts or threatens me, I need to learn to fight back. Soon, he brought Ace home to guide and teach me how to survive.“I felt as if I saw a beam of light when I first met Ace. He’s the light within my darkness. He was the light that shone on me after I was locked up and starved in the basement for one whole day.“If I’ve not been exposed to light, I would’ve endured all this pain in the dark. From the day I saw Ace, I saw light. I tried my best to see the outside world and dominate the body. I began to feel indignant, selfish, and envious of the primary identity of this body…“Do you know that everyone is wary of me, including Benjamin? But Ace is not wary of me. He was the o
“I’m sorry.” Summer turned her head. She did not want to see Jasper. His gaze was too intense. She was afraid that she might hurt herself. “Sorry? Why did you say sorry?” Jasper did not intend to let Summer go just like that. He directly carried Summer in her arms and headed to the bedroom. “Keep it down. Don’t wake the little one.” Summer nervously looked at her daughter, who was sleeping in the crib. She was anxious. “Tell me, do you care?” Jasper looked at Summer. He could not bring himself to be angry with her, but he needed to teach her a lesson. “No.” Summer lowered her head. ‘I do. But it hurts too much.’“After we came out from the bar, I asked my driver to take her home. She refused and wanted to go to a hotel with me.” Jasper intentionally told Summer this. Summer’s eyes immediately reddened. Her eyes were tearing up. “I brought her to a hotel.“You've seen that woman. She was my cup of tea and has a good figure too. Even several top celebrities can't compete
At Sea City Hospital… Keane's head was extremely swollen when the bandage was removed. Of course, he still looked good with his swollen head. His leg was still suspended. That was his consequence of trying to save people in an accident; lying on the hospital bed.“Jasper, are you in your right mind? How could you send such a beautiful woman who’s so obsessed with you away? You shouldn’t have done that. Let me tell you this. If I were you, I would think of how upset my wife would be.”“No way. My wife must be much more powerful than yours. I have to start digging my own grave if I do that. She's too valiant and cries very easily. Listen, you might not notice it but even though she looks calm and collected most of the time, she cries when even a small thing goes wrong. I dare not provoke her.”As soon as Jasper finished speaking, the fierce, aloof crybaby emerged with fruit in her hands. “Bah. As long as you’re happy, Jasper. Goodbye. Come by the hospital and visit me tomorrow.”
"I’m not worried about you. I came over to give you some late-night snacks." Keane’s mother smiled and looked at Elly. "I’m mainly worried that my daughter-in-law was hungry."Keane was visibly shocked, and he looked at Elly cautiously. "Mom, what are you talking about, my girlfriend’s shy, and she hasn't promised to marry me yet.""What? You don’t want to be responsible for her?" Keane’s mother nagged, looking at Elly with a smile on her face. "Sorry for troubling you to take care of this brat during this period of time.""It’s something I should do." Elly was so nervous that her palms sweated. She was afraid of dealing with his parents."Keane, I’m telling you; Elly has been always taking care of you. You little brat, you better not do anything to hurt her." The more Keane’s mother looked at Elly, the more she liked her."How could it..." Keane felt wronged. His mother did not even see who he was injured for."Hurry up and eat some of this. I’m here to see you, my poor son." Ke
"You still want to continue sleeping? Stop sleeping and go back home, the doctor said there’s nothing wrong with you." James kept his voice low and said."Oh." Adrian got out of bed while feeling puzzled, what was wrong with this person?Elly did not say much and watched James take Adrian away."Elly, I’m sorry for the things in the past..."At the elevator entrance, Adrian suddenly said.Elly's body stiffened as she was walking. Something was wrong with Adrian. At the very least, there was definitely something wrong with his memory. He had already apologized for the things in the past, and he was not the kind of person who would bring up old things again.After entering the elevator, James gave Adrian a meaningful look, reached out, and wanted to hold his wrist."I'm alright. We’re already fully grown men, and you still want to hold hands?" Adrian was shocked as he quickly pulled back his wrist. He felt that James was flirting with him."What do you remember?" James felt troub
"If I could be mad with you, I would have been so mad at you until I would have dropped dead." Summer sighed. She had also tried to commit suicide because of Jasper. Thinking about it now, it was really naive and irresponsible. This body was not her own. She could not walk away so selfishly.Therefore, no matter what happened and no matter what will happen, she had to live, for the sake of Summer and Summer's family."Sum, Keane called just now and said that my mother has returned from Country M. You know she had a minor operation, and it wasn’t a serious one. Keane’s afraid that my mother would see him hurt and feel distressed. He asked to bring Little Chestnut over to divert my mother’s nagging. Let’s bring her over later?" Jasper asked while holding the bowl of oats."Yup, sure." Summer nodded. Jasper's mother was really kind to her. Melody kept it to herself in order not to disturb Summer during her confinement period.Summer was actually very grateful to everyone she met, incl
“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.
