After Summer comforted the baby, she laid down on her bed, but she could not sleep. โIโll accompany youโฆ youโre my wife, right?โ Jasper muttered as he opened the door. Summer could barely hear him. She cautiously turned to the inside of the bed. โCanโt sleep?โ Summer asked. Jasper did not reply. He laid beside Summer. He subconsciously wanted to hug her, as if habit was leading his actions. โYeah. Iโll massage your leg.โ Jasper initially did not know about this but his mother texted him in the middle of the night, asking him to massage Summerโs legs every two hours. โItโs okayโฆโ Summer was a little nervous. โLie down and donโt move. Now that Iโm here, you can go ahead and sleep. Iโll handle the baby when she wakes up. If you donโt, the breast milk will not be as nutritiousโฆโ Jasper said pridefully. He refused to admit just how much he cared about Summer. Summer smiled for a moment. But as she smiled, she felt like crying.During Summerโs pregnancy, her arms and legs we
By the time Summer was awake the next morning, Jasper was gone. She was extremely tired, and she felt really drowsyโฆ The baby was awake but she did not cry. She laid beside Summer sensibly.โGood girl.โ Summer smiled and kissed her tiny hand. She then headed to the washroom to wash up. โMaโam, Iโm the confinement nurse that Mr. Miller hired. Iโm here to take care of your meals and help you around the house. You may leave the baby to me.โ The confinement nurse had already prepared breakfast in the kitchen. It smelled good and appetizing. Summer nodded. She then carried her daughter to the sofa and gave her some milk to drink. โShe stayed in an incubator for a few days and is not used to breast milk.โ โPremature babies are usually like this. Donโt worry about it. Things will be okay after you adapt to it.โ The confinement nurse gave Summer a hand. She took some sterile cotton and wiped the little princess.โWhere isโฆ Jaz?โ Summer looked at the courtyard. His car was not there
Summer lost her appetite. She was emotionally hurt. โMaโam, please eat more. Otherwise, youโll not be able to produce breast milk.โ The confinement nurse was worried when she noticed that Summer was not eating properly. Summer was much skinnier and weaker compared to the other mothers she had taken care of before. It was very worrying to see how skinny she was. Even though she had just finished giving birth, she looked like she was about to fall sick at any moment. โOkay, Iโll eat more. Sorry for the trouble of taking care of my child.โ Summer took her phone and hesitated for a while. She was not sure if she should give Jasper a call. For a moment, she felt that she had gone back in time when she lost her memories. She would stay at home every day like a fool. All she knew was to wait for Jasperโs return. โBeep beepโฆ the number you have dialed is unavailableโฆโ Summer ended up giving Jasper a call, but it did not reach him. Summer let out a deep sigh. She felt that her bre
After Jasper looked through at the agreement in his hand, he smiled. โAlright.โโNothing is free in this world. Who would help me?โโYoung Master, Samson wants to see you.โ At the entrance of the corporation, Jasperโs assistant ran over nervously. He looked at Victoria warily.โWhy is this bitch everywhere?โโSamson?โ Jasperโs expression became unpleasant. โIโm not meeting him.โโIsnโt he Summerโs ex-fiance?โ โYoung Master, donโt listen to this woman. Sheโs a liar. Do you know how much she has hurt Miss Summer before this? If you were to stay in touch with her, Miss Summer would be very angry.โ The assistant was anxious.โCarter!โ Jasper said coldly. He stretched out and protected Victoria behind him. โKnow your place. Donโt you dare judge my woman.โVictoria hid behind Jasper in alarm. She did not dare to look at the assistant. But she felt guilty when she saw how Jasper protected her. โJust how on earth did I miss out on such a good person?โWhat ifโฆโNo. There are no
"Madam, dinner is ready. Will you be waiting for your husband so you two can eat together?" The confinement nurse outside reminded her.Summer snapped out of her thoughts. She held and soothed the baby. "I'll give him a call and ask him if heโs coming back anytime soon."She made up her mind and called Jasper, but he did not answer even after a long time.Princecourt Hotelโs Western Revolving Restaurant was located on the top floor of Princecourt Hotel. Rose booked the venue in advance and waited for Victoria and Jasper to come."Jasper, I didn't think that youโd still remember that place..." In the elevator, Victoria looked shy, and her heart was beating rapidly. Jasper took her to their former school, which was now an old school area, so it was exceptionally quiet.She did not expect that Jasper still remembered.Because at that time, Jasper liked to play basketball with his friends there and once confessed to her on the basketball court."I remember. We were both young at
Summer made a lot of calls at the mansion in West City, but Jasper never answered.She threw the phone aside out of frustration, curled up on the bed and took a deep breath.โThings will be alright. I should believe him. I should have faith in himโฆโBut after staying up all night, Jasper did not come back. "Oh! Madam, you have a fever! Is your incision infected?"At night, the confinement nurse came to visit Summer and her child. When she heard that there was something off about Summerโs breathing, she touched her forehead."This is bad!" The confinement nurse was terrified and quickly called the ambulance.โMr. Miller was not back home at such an hour and left Summer and her child alone. What should I do?โThe child was still very young and cannot be brought out now. Only the confinement nurse and Summer were at home. The confinement nurse did not know who to look for to take care of the child.She nervously paced back and forth. The confinement nurse called Jasper, but he s
Creak... Suddenly, a soft noise came from the living room.Victor stood up vigilantly and hid behind the door.Who was there?The bedroom door was pushed open, and a man in black clothes and a baseball cap walked in. He had yet to notice Victor hiding behind the door."Where are you taking the baby?" Victor raised the corner of his mouth and closed the door gently.The man stiffened, and when he turned around, he saw Victor standing at the door which had been closed."Youโ!" The man in black said nervously and looked around, wanting to escape. "Are you planning to take the baby away?" Victorโs face did not change as he kept on smiling. His beautiful eyes looked deep and meaningful. "Such coincidence, itโs you. Just act as if I didn't know about this and take her away then."The man looked at Victor in astonishment, but he recognized him and lowered his head subconsciously.The Ross family members were all lunatics, and he did not want to provoke them.This person was so go
"Youโre Ivan Hale?" Victor glanced at the man's phone, smashed it forcefully to the ground, took out the sim card inside, and threw it into the trash can."Youโ!" Ivan was so angry that he even flung off his baseball cap. He wanted to beat him up but did not dare to do it."From now on, youโll be working for me. Youโre considered a missing person now to Rose." Victor narrowed his eyes excitedly. "By the way, don't think about running away. I can kill this child at any time and then throw the blame on Rose. You know Iโm capable of doing that.""Youโre just a lunatic!" Ivan scratched his head as if he was about to go crazy. He was a man, and yet he had been asked to look after a child?"I don't know how to look after children!" He was a little frustrated."Look after her well. This is my punishment for you since you wanted to nab her..." Victor said nonchalantly as he closed his eyes and took some rest.Ivan really wanted to punch him, but he could not bring himself to do it.Bein
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.
