Chapter 876

Author: March
It was Summer’s first time meeting someone so psychopathic. She had always tried to avoid this kind of person.

Jasper sighed. “He’s such a pitiful man. He has always used his wife and unborn child as a shield. He also uses hatred as an excuse for his greed.”

Over the years, Paul secretly did everything, from transferring his property to rendering the other shareholders of the company as mere figureheads.

From the outside, he looked like a gentleman, but he even used the money meant for charity funds. Furthermore, he secretly had more than one lover, and he might even have an ambiguous relationship with Rose as well.

“Aaron is the most pitiful one, but those who are pitiful must have something about them that is despicable as well.” Summer shook her head.

“Is Adrian with you?”

James’ expression was darker than the dead of night in Sea City.

“Yes.” James nodded.

“Let him go,” Alaric said in a hoarse voice at the other end. “Now is not the time to force Paul’s hand.”

    “But, Mr. Coleman, you don’t love me.” Natalie noticed Gilbert's wounded palm. She nervously said, “Oh, you’re injured.”“I can try to love you,” Gilbert said in a hoarse voice as he glanced sideways out the window. “Do you know why my mother named me Gilbert?”Natalie looked at Gilbert silently. She had a feeling that the indifference she saw in him was a little different. Back then, Summer introduced her to Gilbert and told her that he would take care of her and help her. Gilbert did look after her. That was why she agreed to pretend to be his girlfriend in order to move on from Yadon. “She said that she wishes to see me provide warmth to others like a sun,” Gilbert spoke and chuckled. He then turned to look at Natalie. “Do you think someone like me can provide warmth to other people?”“Yes, you can. As long as you truly love someone, you'll take good care of the person.” Natalie was unsure how to comfort him. She tried to look for a first aid kit in his house. “Let’s tend

    “Gilbert!”Before Adrian could say anything, Gilbert had already left. ‘Who is he to say that we’re even now?’Adrian got out of the bathroom dizzily, fell on the bed, and dozed off.He was too tired and his whole body was aching terribly. “Gilbert, what’s for breakfast?”Adrian heard a woman’s voice when he opened the guest room door. His body stiffened for a long time. He saw two people standing in the kitchen; a man and a woman. They suited each other really well.“Oh, Dr. Seawind, you're awake! I planned to cook chicken soup, is that okay with you? Gilbert said that you’re sick,” Natalie said with a smile. She seemed like she was so used to calling Gilbert by his name. He used to hate others calling his name, but now, Natalie was calling it.“He’s not eating. He’ll leave once he’s awake,” Gilbert said coldly. He then turned and continued to help Natalie take out the dishes. All of a sudden, Adrian lost his composure and raised his voice, “I’m not leaving!”“Dr. Adr

    Summer did not utter a word. She forcefully pushed Jasper away, then sat at the dining table with the breakfast he bought. “You should eat too.”Jasper stood still, not sure where to rest his hands. He sat down obediently.“If you don’t like it, I’ll cook for you…” Jasper looked at Summer nervously. For the first time, he was feeling more nervous than when he went to kindergarten.“I’m okay with anything.” Summer took a bite of the Belgium waffle and became stunned for a moment. “Is this waffle from Sea City?”Jasper coughed a little. He never actually tried it. “Um… this place is too remote. There was only an old man selling Belgium waffles and hot chocolate.”Summer took a closer look. She had heard Alaric talk about the signature snacks in Sea City and Mountain City, but it was her first time trying these Belgium waffles.“It’s alright. You don’t have to eat it. I’ll make breakfast for you.” Jasper stood up and took the packet away from Summer. “It’s actually quite nice.” Su

    The floor they were on was quite high. Summer was a little scared as her legs became weak. “Don't be scared. I’m here.” Jasper held onto Summer’s hands tightly as they slowly moved sideways. “Take a deep breath. It’s okay.”Summer’s legs trembled, feeling a little unstable. “Ahh!” Summer screamed out in horror. She almost fell when a small rock that she stepped on fell apart. Her heartbeat picked up when she looked down. “Sum! It's all right, it's okay.” Jasper pulled Summer’s arms firmly and led her to the rooftop. He then hugged her tightly. “Paul is a lunatic. You must not let them find you, okay?”Jasper gently patted Summer's head and pulled her to the back of a water tank on the rooftop. “Hide well. Don’t show yourself to anyone, except for me. Be good.”“Where are you going?!” Summer tugged Jasper’s arm anxiously. “I’ll lure them away!” Jasper signaled for her to keep quiet as he tried to listen closely to the movements downstairs. “Jasper!” Summer’s voice trem

    “I know you resent me." Alaric said in a small voice. “Why did you disappear?” Summer asked quietly. “Mom killed herself, do you know that?” “Right, it’s impossible that you didn’t know." Summer said to herself. “Summy…” Alaric sighed. “Dad, am I really your daughter?” Summer looked up at him and asked. “You are.” Alaric nodded. “Who’s my mother?” Summer really wanted to know. She had imagined countless times that she would ask Alaric who her mother was when he showed up. “Your mother loves you very much. She is a wonderful person.” Alaric frowned, though he would not say her name. “Oh, really? A mother whom I have never seen before loves me very much?” Summer chuckled weakly. “Go back to Sea City. Paul has been taken away by the police. Given all the evidence I have against him, it’s sufficient to put him in jail for some time.” Alaric heaved a sigh. None of them brought up Jasper. Summer looked like she was avoiding bringing him up on purpose. After a long time, s

    “Stop playing dumb, Summer! It’s all because of you, Ace knew that Lisa…” Azula bit her lip. “Since it was you who instructed Lisa to do that kind of stuff, what rights do you have to come and plead to me? I can let it pass if it was me that you hurt, but unfortunately, you hurt my friend.” Summer frowned, looking mad. “Don’t push me, Summer. And so shouldn’t Ace…” Azula gritted her teeth and said threateningly, “If he won’t leave me alone, I won’t make your life easy either.” Casper’s sister was puzzled by the situation, as she watched Azula slamming the door and leaving. Summer heaved a sigh, feeling that Azula had completely been enslaved by her own hatred. At downstairs, Azula ran into Casper who just got off from his work, carrying groceries in his hands. Azula glanced at Casper, her eyes were red. “What are you doing here?” Casper did not seem surprised. His tone was indifferent. “Casper, if I had given up on seeking vengeance back then, if I had chosen to be with

    Jasper looked at his daughter nervously and hugged her carefully in his arms. Little Chestnut cupped Jasper’s face and gave him a kiss. Blood was thicker than water; the thing about a familial bond was always inexplicable. Summer watched quietly for a moment, before she raised her hand to support her chin and asked, “Are you still going to die again?” “Cough!” Jasper was caught off guard by Summer’s question. He shook his head nervously and said, “I won’t do it again.” “Is there anything else you’re hiding from me?” Summer asked indifferently. “I won’t do it again.” Jasper continued to shake his head, making his daughter giggle. “Your fiance just paid me a visit.” Summer said indifferently, without any emotion in her tone. Jasper was so frightened that he felt a tingling sensation in his head, even the wound on his shoulder started to hurt a bit. “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.” “Have you done hugging her? Give me my daughter.” Summer reached out to ask for her daugh

    A long silence filled the place. Aaron was still at the door. “Aaron…” The door was slowly opened. Benjamin called him in a small voice. Aaron’s body stiffened for a long time. And then, he pulled Benjamin into his arms fiercely. “Hearing you call me that, it’s worth it even if I were to die in this second.” “You’re in a public space, behave yourself.” In the distance, Adrian’s face darkened as he walked toward them. He was silent for a moment. “I know you guys resent me, but I still have to tell you. My dad still has a way out, he won’t be convicted, because there isn’t any evidence. Did you guys think you’ve won? Don’t be naive.” Aaron raised his hand and slapped Adrian on the back of his head, before he kicked him in the butt, leaving a footprint on his white coat. “Watch how you talk to us; we are older than you.” Benjamin smiled and patted the footprint off Adrian’s coat. “For the sake of you being younger than us, we’ll let you off the hook for now for scheming agains

    “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.
