"You came alone?" Summer smiled at Cain and patted a little small campstool next to herself. "Come and join us, Iโll treat you to a kebab.""I came with someone elseโ" Cain glanced back, and pointed to a gloomy-faced Holton. "It was because he suddenly went crazy and insisted on asking me to treat him to a meal. I thought about it and couldnโt think of something nice to eat.""Hello Mrs. Miller." Holton glanced at Summer and addressed her politely. After all, he was speaking to Jasper's wife.Summer glanced at Natalie. It was obvious that Holton, as Yadon's younger brother, did not know that Natalie was actually his sister-in-law.Natalie tightened her grip on her fork. Holton did not know her, but she knew that Holton was Yadon's younger brother."This is Natalie Tanner, sheโs your brother's wife " Summer helped Natalie explain by introducing her.Holton furrowed his eyes. It was obvious that Holton felt that his brother had too many girlfriends, and he did not know which one wo
"At least for now, Yadon is serious." Jasper said again before he reached out and held Summer's hand. "My mother just called and said that Little Chestnut has a fever, letโs leave them alone for a while. Ultimately, they have to solve their own relationship problems by themselves."Summer looked up nervously at Jasper. Little Chestnut was having a fever?"Goodbye Sum!" Cain waved his hand at Summer."Think about what I told you before." Summer blinked at Cain.After Jasper and Summer left, Holton looked at Cain gloomily. "Whatโs it about?""Huh?" Cain pretended to be stupid. "What do you mean whatโs it about?""Summer said thereโs something for you to consider." Holton's voice was a little down."It's... a secret between us." Cain became timid when he saw Holton. He clearly did not like him anymore, but still couldn't help but give in. "Besides, what does it have to do with you?"Holton immediately emanated a cold aura, as he glanced at Cain without speaking.True enough, it h
Now he had blown up the arranged marriage by his family, and married a C-list star, not to mention, the other party's father even came to the house to make a fuss.The Caballero family placed high importance on prestige and reputation. Doing so could have pissed the old man to death.Near the school..."Stop fighting, you guys stop fighting already. I called the police, and they will be here soon!" The other party had many people in numbers, but Holton was not backing down.After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Holton guarded Cain behind him."Young Master Caballero, why are you so protective? We didn't believe the words from the mouths of others till we saw it with our own eyes. What do you think would happen if this news of your homosexual relationship is spread to your elders in the Caballero familyโ" The other party said with a smile. "You are talking nonsense, weโre just classmates!" Cain lost a little of his composure. "The old man from the Caballero famil
"You know your familyโs situation best, even if they were the ones that started the fight, try to bear with it. Once this matter is deliberately made big by those people, you and your brother will completely fall out of favor in front of your old man, and you could imagine the consequences then." Jasper frowned slightly, as he signaled Holton and Cain to get in the car."You are still young. Your brother intends to not put you under pressure as much as possible. But your second uncle, Bertin, and step brother, Darien, are not meek. They have been acting behind the scenes all these years. The few people just now understand your family so well, itโs obvious that itโs the doing of people around you. They are deliberately causing trouble." Jasper frowned. Only recently did he find out that Bertin and Darien were close with Rose in private.Based on many recent events that happened with Ocean Shipyard Corporation, there was indeed an internal problem.He told Yadon before that there were
โYou can leave first. Yadon will be here shortly. Iโll talk to him for a while.โJasper hung up and nodded at Summer.Summer walked toward the direction of the Inpatient Department where Samsonโs ward was located. She felt a little distressed. Rose and those people were desperate now. This was just a warning to Samson. If Samson insisted on going against them, he would no longer encounter something as simple as a car accident.โHi, where are you?โ After taking a few steps, Summer received a call from Rafferty.โIโm now in the hospital. Something happened at todayโs banquet. Samson is injured." Summer answered. โTell me the ward number, Iโll go over now.โ After hanging up, Rafferty immediately headed to Sea City Hospital. Something happened to Azula again. Those people still wanted to get rid of her.David seemed as if he had disappeared. Recently, Coleman Corporation was always attacked by other companies, and their business partners had run away because of the malicious com
โThose people must have decided to attack Samson. Call Gilbert now. Both you and him should be more alert.โ Summer was worried that Rose was trying to attack people from SN Holdings.Samson always used SN Holdings to contend with Rose and went against her. It was not the first day that Rose wanted to destroy SN Holdings. Gilbert and Samson were the partners of SN Holdings. At the same time, both of them were thorns in Roseโs side. โIs that woman... truly so ruthless? As a mother, how could she treat her son in such a cruel way?โ Cosmo looked at Samson with his heart aching for him. In the past, Samson used to have some hopes about his mother. He even tried to imagine that his mother loved him, and he treated his father as an imaginary enemy.This was too cruel for Samson. It was not because his mother did not love him, rather, his mother tried to kill him. At that time, Samson tried to find many excuses for Rose. He always misunderstood that it was because of his fatherโs unf
Summer left the ward and went to look for Jasper. Ring, ring, ring. The phone suddenly rang. โHello?โ The call went through. โIโm Rose.โSummer had her fingers stiffen. She straightened her body and stopped walking. โAunt Rose, what is it?โโI think that we might have some misunderstandings. I reserved a place in the Pearl Restaurant for tomorrow at 6:00 pm. I want you to come over and have a talk.โ Rose smiled and said. Her tone was extremely polite, as if she was not the one who had been humiliated. Summer smiled coldly. She felt that Rose was truly shameless. โAunt Rose, Iโm not free.โโLetโs talk about Samson. Are you truly busy?โ Rose remained smiling profoundly. โAunt Rose, youโre truly shameless.โ Summer smiled coldly and said. โOkay then, tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. Iโll be there on time.โAfter hanging up, Summer walked out of the hospital. โRose contacted me. She wants to meet me.โRafferty wore a baseball cap. He leaned against the entrance door of the hospital an
โSum, shall we think of another way? I think that Olivia Miles does not have much value...โ Jasper still wanted to live and admitted that he was a loser. If he were given another chance to be reborn, he would not touch any women even with his fingers, and he would refrain from having sex with other women for the sake of his wife...But time would not go back. He needed to pay the price for what he had done in the past. โI still need to ask you about a person,โ Summer said again. โGo on...โ Jasper felt terrified. He was not afraid of anyone in his life. Summer was probably the first one that he was terrified of. He was not scared of her, rather, he was scared of losing her. He truly was. โI heard that Veronica is still suspended from her job. Let her come over to my company. Iโll guide her. Let her become my assistant,โ Summer said faintly. โNoโ!โ After Summer finished speaking, Jasper immediately and instinctively rejected her. That was nonsense. โEverything else can be
โI just find it hard to accept the truth. I donโt actually hate youโฆโ After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. โIt wasโฆ too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.โMabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. โSumโฆโSummer smiled at her and said, โBefore Iโm able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?โMabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. โSureโฆ Call me anything you wantโฆโShe actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. โCan I hug you?โ Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabelโs 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 familyโs mansion. โWifeyโฆโ Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. โWifey?โ He panicked and knelt in front of her. โSumโฆโHe truly panicked this time. โDid she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?โโJasper, do you care who my mother is?โ Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. โNo, I donโt. I only care about you.โโWhy do I care so much, thenโฆโ Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. โI shouldnโt care about it tooโฆโโEveryone has something that they donโt have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.โSummer 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.โSumโฆโ 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. โMadam, stop cooking. Come and eat,โ Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.โSum, letโs eat.โ 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. โSum, follow me.โ After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. โIs Jasper treating you well?โ Alaric asked. โYes, heโs treating me well.โ She smiled. โIf Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.โโHe 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.โโSum, thereโs something that Iโve been hiding from you. Youโve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?โ A
โMr. 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?โโI do,โ Jasper said the two words confidently.โIโm willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.โIโll always love her.โSheโll always be my number one.โโMs. 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?โโโฆ I do.โShe purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said โI doโ, 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.โJasper!โJas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. โI belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasperโs side.โโHe doesnโt deserve it,โ Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding.ใใโWouldnโt it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?โโHey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Letโs spice things up a little!โ The bridesmaids started planning something.โYou guys better be careful. Youโre all pregnant. Donโt stir up too much chaos,โ Summer said with a smile. โSeriously, itโs as they say: women always side with their husbands once theyโre married. Look at you, youโre already siding with him.โ A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. โCongratulations, Sum.โHers and Jasperโs 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 Edwardโs mother because of her meeting with Hannaโs mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edwardโs father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. โAbout this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.โEdwardโs mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. โIt was all my fault.โEdwardโs father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.โI... 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!โ Edwardโs mother panicked and started crying. Edwardโs father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. โIs this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.โEdwardโs mother sobb
โI deserve it!โNieva 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.โฆโฆ At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...โAre you Hanna Delacruz? Letโs talk.โEdwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.โEdward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.โโMom...โ Edward felt a little guilty. โI know about everything.โ Edwardโs mother shook her head. โThis matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hannaโs mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...โโMom, this is no oneโs fault.โ Edward shook his head. In the study...Edwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. โAre you Venusโ daughter?โโDo you still remember my mother?โ 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 Roseโs son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.โLetโs go home...โ Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.โSamson...โ Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.โFrom now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.โ 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 familyโs 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.โTsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?โ He was Summerโs 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.โJasper frowned. โSince he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?โJasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.โJasper, you can just confess if youโre scared. You donโt have to put yourself in a higher status.โ Keane rolled his eyes.โFine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.โ Jasper was threatening Keane.โJasper, Iโm sorry, itโs my fault...โโฆ...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.โLook at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
