His Summer would neither be so sarcastic nor be so confident in opposing others. Unfortunately, her disguise was not enough. Ace smiled helplessly. He stood up and adjusted his tie. He always indulged in Summer. This time... he still let her fool around. He just needed to clean up the mess for her in the end. Sooner or later, she would restrain her wild nature. “Summer, what does this have to do with you? If it weren’t because she seduced Yadon...” Yadon’s fiancee said with a quivering voice. “Why don’t you find the reason from Yadon?” Summer sighed and pulled Natalie away. Yadon’s fiancee stood still for a long time. Her eyes were red. “Hi, Ms. Snyder. Let’s have a drink.” After Summer and Natalie left, Azula took a wine glass and stood beside Yadon’s fiancee. She smiled and passed her a glass of wine.“Who are you?” Yadon’s fiancee stared at Azula with a puzzled look and asked softly, “Do we know each other?” “No. But I think Ms. Summer went a bit too far just n
After all, Adrian was Josse’s nephew, and his father was Josse’s brother. “Adrian is put under house arrest, or I should say, he is willing to be put under house arrest. He did not want to come out of his house. He is still reachable through his phone, but he uses all kinds of excuses to avoid going out and refuses to tell us the reason why.” Just now, James looked for him to talk about this. Adrian’s father, Paul Seawind and Josse came from a small fishing village. But Paul excelled in his studies and enrolled into a medical school. He even established his own pharmaceutical company and became someone rich who was also dedicated to his work. Summer still remembered Paul. In the beginning, Plath Corporation worked together with Paul when they first came to Sea City. Paul was an honest, gentle, and good-mannered middle-aged man. So, his son did not have any bad habits like other rich second-generation children. Even though Paul was not considered a billionaire in Sea City and
At the parking lot...“You did a great job.” Samson sighed. “Where are you staying tonight?” Samson asked anxiously. If Summer were willing, she could stay at his place...“I’ll return to the Plath family manor. After all, I received a call of my mother being kidnapped. So, I need to return home first.” Summer shook her head. “Okay...” Samson nodded and looked at his phone. “Let me tell you some good news. Jasper’s mother, Melody, is now out of danger, and she is awake now. She’s in good condition.” Summer got into the car. She could not help but cover her mouth and started crying with her body shivering. “Have some candy...” Samson got into the car and took out a milk candy from his pocket. That was Summer’s favorite candy.Summer’s fingers started shivering. Her second personality also liked milk candy. That was because Benjamin had always given her milk candy when she was young.“Thank you.”Samson smiled for a while and shook his head. The Summer he knew loved ea
“I know, she doesn’t want to owe me anything.” Casper leaned against the seat and looked outside. Summer did not want to involve him in this mess. But he involved himself willingly...After mocking himself, Casper rubbed his brows. He was almost thirty, but he still liked imagining himself as someone favored by others. He behaved the same way when he was facing Sapphire, and he did the same to Summer too. But the conditions were different between Summer and Sapphire. All he had for Sapphire was only self-blame and guilt. After he had sex with Sapphire, he vowed to be responsible for her and treated her well. But it was different for Summer. What he had for her was never guilt. It was late at night.Summer was almost unconscious after drinking too much and she vomited in the toilet. Then, she soaked herself in a cold bath.“Jasper...”Summer stretched out her hands and shouted Jasper’s name. She wanted him to appear and scold her. Then, he could blow dry her hair.“I th
“This is not hard for me. But what benefit do you get?” Jasper frowned. “I don’t want any benefits. I just want to stay and protect her. You’re not around... and she needs someone beside her,” Casper said softly and glanced in the direction of Summer’s bedroom. Jasper felt horrible about this, because Summer was his wife and did not need protection from any other man. But now... he was not with Summer, so someone needed to stay beside her and protect her, and Casper was the best candidate. “Okay. Deal.” Jasper nodded. Casper sighed, lowered his gaze, and looked at his hands. “How much do you know about Summer’s dissociative identity disorder? She looked like a different person when she woke up this time around.”Jasper’s body stiffened. He instinctively turned and looked at Summer’s bedroom.Impossible. Just now, in the room, it was his Summer. The primary identity could not be awake. “The primary identity has fallen asleep, and it’s impossible...” Jasper frowned. “There
Yadon sneered before hanging up the call. Azula smirked as she looked at her phone in a profound manner. Summer woke up in the middle of the night at the Plath family’s mansion. Her hair and body were dry, and her head was in pain.She slowly stood up and massaged her temples and the muscles between her eyebrows. ‘What am I doing?’She took up her phone and saw that it was four-thirty in the morning. ‘Oh, I’ve been asleep for a long time.’ After Summer woke up, she could not go back to sleep anymore. All she could think of was Jasper… Before she returned home, Samson said that Jasper’s mother had woken up. It was a relief that she was no longer in danger. It was comforting to know this. In fact, it might be the only comforting news right now.The Miller family had been looking after Little Chestnut all this time. She still could not get custody of her daughter. As a mother, she had been suffering from insomnia because she missed her daughter too much every night.‘Whe
“The meeting is at six forty in the morning, at a churro shop at the alley in the old town.“Noted, Miss. Don’t worry. First, we need to locate the kidnaper. We’ll send someone to protect your mother in case it’s a real abduction.”Summer hung up the call after explaining clearly to the police. She looked out the window and sneered. Clearly, Rose thought that she was the main identity… As someone who thought that she knew Summer's main identity better, as someone whose cleverness may overreach itself, Summer felt the need to give Rose something in return this time.“Why did she drink until late at night?” When Yadon arrived at Pearl Restaurant, he was obviously a little frustrated as he saw Lisa sleeping on a table. His expression became unpleasant. “Ms. Snyder has been in a bad mood after we left the party. We chatted for so long that we didn’t even realize how late it was already.” Azula smiled at Yadon. She looked gorgeous. “Ms. Snyder is quite cute.”Azula used the term
“Coming right up!”The delicacies in the alley in the old town were mainly the signature food of Mountain City. They were run by small businessmen who came to work in Mountain City.Summer was lost in her thoughts as she grabbed the warm cup of hot chocolate.Not far away from the alley in the old town… “Summer is here.”Rose smiled and signaled the taxi driver to stop. “I’ll go there myself. You all wait here.”Not far from the car, the police officers were already eyeing them from a police car. “The target has emerged!”“Casper, Summer made a report. She said that her mother was abducted and she received a threatening phone call. So far, this woman is our suspect.”Casper nodded. “Keep an eye on her. Summer must not get hurt.” “The target is going alone. She’s probably going to negotiate with Summer.”“Hungry?” Rose sat in front of Summer at the churro shop. She smiled as she watched Summer enjoying her food. Summer was shocked. “Aunt Rose, it’s really you! I though
“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.
