After Casper forced her to eat, Summer ate until she could not move anymore. She was lost in her thoughts as she leaned back on her chair. Summer raised her head and looked out the window for a long time before saying, “How long can love last? I used to think Samson loved Summer so much. He loved her so much that I became jealous of them.”She chuckled, then said, “At that time, I was paranoid. I wished I could break them up.”‘And I did it. But why am I not happy?’Casper was stunned. After he came back to his senses, he remembered that Summer had a split personality. ‘So, the person that’s engaged with Samson is not the current identity?’“Are you still looking for a fight? I can have one with you.” Casper was not sure how to reply to Summer. He looked at her, then spoke again. “Let’s talk about Jasper and Azula. We can quarrel about that to change the topic.”Summer did not want to argue anymore. She suddenly felt extremely exhausted. “No more fights?” After a long time
Even if it was not for revenge, Jasper was sure that Casper’s feelings toward Summer were not genuine. “You!” Casper was slightly enraged.Only evildoers would have bad thoughts of other people!“He gave me a sense of reality. He makes me feel like I really exist.” Summer reached out and pulled Casper as she stood between them. “He gives me a sense of reality and peace that you can never give me.”“Summer!” Jasper’s voice quivered. He could barely contain his anger anymore. “Mr. Miller, please show some respect. Your fiance and my boyfriend are here.” Summer flinched when she saw Jasper reach out and pull her arm. She grabbed onto Casper firmly. “Boyfriend? Summer, what are you thinking?! If I were Ace, I would look back to see where I went wrong and why you chose him. Does he even deserve you? What’s so great about a guy who has a mortgage and needs to depend on government aid to be successful? What can he give you? Are you still a child? Even if you’re acting childish out of
“Casper, meet you at eight in the evening. I’ll wait for you at Emerald Western Restaurant.” Azula smiled in a profound manner before she turned and left. Summer stood by the roadside. She turned and saw Azula walking away, looking like a model. “What did she say to you?”“She said she wanted to have dinner with me.” Casper did not lie. Summer frowned. “Is this an unforgettable romantic moment?” “What are you talking about? It’s just dinner.” Casper frowned.“Don’t go, then.” Summer did not want Casper to go. He was a smart man, but he could not afford to mess around with Azula.Back then, Sapphire may have had a conscience, but the current Azula absolutely did not have one.“You don’t want me to go?” Casper raised his hand and scratched his head. He wanted to ask what Summer meant by what she said a while ago, but he felt that he was being too indulgent in this cooperative relationship between them. “I want to see my daughter.” Summer watched as cars passed by. She wanted
Casper nodded. “I also think that your sister was lying. She seems to have a completely different personality than you. She didn’t seem reluctant when she was answering those questions, and she showed no sign of fear. When a normal woman is trying to recall a disturbing experience, she would show emotional aftershocks, but Elly didn’t.” “She might know who it was.” Summer narrowed her eyes. She was planning to see Elly. “You pervert!” Summer was still pondering about it when she heard a sudden cry coming from beside. A woman yelled that the man standing next to her was a pervert. Casper pulled Summer farther away from them, worrying that she could be implicated. “What on Earth are you talking about!” “He is a pervert! I saw him taking photos up a woman’s skirt!” the woman shouted. “It’s early winter. What’s there to see under a women’s skirt at this time? Are you crazy?” That man denied. “We’ll get off at the next stop.” Casper’s head ached as he did not feel like int
“Shit! Are you guys crazy?” On the bus, Casper could not take it anymore as he cursed loudly. “Police!” He had no choice but to show his badge. “Don’t open the door, just wait here!” Casper looked irritated. He showed the driver his badge and asked him to pull aside.It didn't take long for the police car to arrive and force the bus to stop at the next bus stop.“Summer…” After handing the situation over to the Sea City police, Casper ran back the way he came in panic. His injured leg hurt badly. As he already had a contusion on his leg, the blood now soaked through the white gauze as his wound was split.“Summer!” Enduring the pain, Casper ran back to the previous bus stop as fast as he could.Summer was lying on the ground, but she managed to sit up.Her blood dripped onto her hands and everything was fuzzy.“Casper…”“Take her away before the police arrive!” A minivan pulled up to the side of the road. A few men from the vehicle pulled Summer up and shoved her into the min
“Kidnapped? You were hit by a car and someone sent us to come and take you to Western District Hospital." The man sitting next to Summer was stunned for a moment. "Why would you think this is an abduction?” Summer’s heart skipped a beat, this was not a kidnapping? “Why the Western District Hospital?” “We don’t know. We’re delivery men around this area. We didn't have any goods to deliver today. Someone called us and said he would pay 10,000 dollars for us to pick up a person who had been hit by a car at the bus stop on West Ridge Street. We were asked to drive you to the Western District Hospital as fast as we could."Summer felt that the knot in her gut had tightened. It was a set-up, a trap.She was not the real target?Enduring the pain, Summer gave Casper a call.“Hello? Summer!”“Casper, I’m fine. I was hit by a car, but it wasn’t serious… These guys are not kidnappers. Someone asked them to pick me up at the bus stop at West Ridge Street and sent me to hospital.”Summer
“Damn!” Casper cursed in pain as he curled up on the floor, unable to get up.Jasper’s face darkened as he rolled over with Summer in his arms and put her down in a safe spot. "This is Sea City; these people are too audacious."Casper tried to get up, but he did not have any strength on his leg."Be careful, they have weapons in their car." Casper looked warily at the car that had pulled aside, and as he said, several men carrying baseball bats came out of the car."Shit!" Casper gritted his teeth and looked at his phone. "Why aren't Fergus and Sea City police here yet?" "I guess someone stopped them from coming." Jasper was calm. He stood up, took off his suit and unbuttoned his cufflinks.“Bloody hell!” “Beat them up!” Those men stared at Jasper and then shifted their gaze at the injured Casper. Apparently, they were coming after Jasper. ...... In Miller’s mansion, Sea City. “Hello? I heard that Melody is hurt and she is still unconscious. Oh, Marvin, that’s so unfor
“Save them, save them. Summer and Jasper Miller have been…taken away.”Casper was covered in cold sweat, as if he had been rained on. He curled up on the ground in pain, pointing at the car that was already almost gone in the distance and shouting. "Go and save them!"Fergus and a few policemen exchanged looks and gritted their teeth. "Take Captain Snyder to the hospital. Let’s go after them!"In an abandoned shipyard at Western District.Summer woke up with a terrible headache. Her throat was dry and she was hyperventilating.Summer was surrounded by darkness and she could not see anything. “Is there anyone here?” Summer asked quietly and touched the floor around, wondering where she was. “Sum…” A weak voice came from next to her. He pulled Summer into his arms and held her tightly. “I’m here, I’m here.”Summer stiffened up in shock. Jasper? What was he doing here? “Jasper Miller?”Summer thought he was her imagination.“I’m here, I’m here.” Jasper tightened his arms aroun
“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.
