“Outside…”

Before the shop assistant could finish speaking, the store manager anxiously ran out of his office.

“Where’s that woman?” The store manager asked in a panicked tone.

“She got anxious and fled just now. She’s probably a thief.” another staff member muttered softly. They were a premium luxury brand from Country M that only sold custom-made jewelry. The woman, who had fled, had an anxious expression on, and was in a very flustered state as well. She was definitely a thief.

The store manager furrowed his brows and stared at the pendant he was holding for an extended period of time. “This is that rich family’s coming-of-age gift for their daughter. I’ve seen it before in a magazine.”

“That rich family’s daughter? Are you referring to the one from DR Holdings in Country M? The one who was kidnapped and killed, with her dead body being dismembered?”

......

Summer was hiding in the storeroom of the mall. She neither knew if the pendant was worth very much nor if that jewelry store allowed her to exchange it for money.

However, the logo on the signboard of the shop looked incredibly familiar to her.

“I saw her just now. She definitely hasn’t gone far!”

Jasper’s subordinates were still looking for her. If she were to get caught, he would definitely get rid of their baby.

Summer cried helplessly as she covered her hand with her mouth, not even daring to breathe loudly.

“Sum, you aren’t being obedient.”

Someone switched the lights of the storeroom on. Jasper spoke impatiently as he leaned against the wall.

He had personally come out to look for her. He was already giving her a lot of respect despite the fact that she was merely a sugar baby to him. A stupid one at that.

“Jaz…” Summer inched backward in a panic. She was in so much fear that it was as if she had just witnessed a demon appear from hell.

Once upon a time, Jasper was her angel.

“Don’t, don’t hurt me.” Summer pleaded, tears rolling down her face. She did not want to get rid of her baby.

“Come home with me.” Jasper did not say anything about getting rid of the baby. With a cold voice, he simply asked her to go home with him.

Summer looked suspiciously at Jasper. She did not know what trick he had hidden up his sleeve this time.

“Jaz…”

“Summer, do you want me to marry you?” Jasper walked over to Summer, step by step, his face expressionless.

Once again, Summer inched backward in fear, and her entire body was quivering violently.

‘Do I want him to marry me?

‘It’s not something I dare even hope for.’

“Say something!”

Summer was so frightened that she shook violently, and there was a tremble to her voice as she asked, “Jaz, aren’t you going to marry Victoria Dawn?”

“I’m not going to marry her. But what do you think about us getting married?” Jasper flashed her a slight smile as he lit a cigarette.

Summer’s gaze landed anxiously on Jasper. She did not believe what he was saying. But why was there a feeling of anticipation in her heart?

“Jaz…”

“Are you even worthy of that?”

......

Summer could practically hear the sound of her heart breaking as it shattered into a million pieces.

“Are you even worthy of that?”

The words that Jasper had just uttered felt like a death sentence to her.

He was toying with her. He was mocking her.

He was tearing her into pieces.

The spark in her eyes dimmed.

Her eyes were now glassy and lifeless.

......

In a rented house at West Street.

“You’ll be staying here from now onward. You’re not allowed to show up in front of me unless I come looking for you. Also, you must not appear in front of Vic and upset her. Do you understand?”

Jasper looked around at his surroundings. He was not exactly satisfied with the place.

He had asked Adrian to look for a place for Summer on his behalf. That scumbag actually found a place in the slums.

Summer did not mind. She was just grateful enough to have a place to stay.

“Jaz…” Was he not in a rush to get rid of the baby anymore?

“It’s not entirely impossible for me to let you keep this baby. But you must be obedient.” Jasper reached out and pulled Summer into an embrace. His brows furrowed as he saw the dried blood along the cracks on her feet. “Aren’t you afraid of the cold?”

Summer’s trembling grew increasingly more violent. She no longer knew what to believe when it came to Jasper’s words.

She had no idea why Jasper had suddenly changed his mind. She neither dared saying nor asking anything about it.

“I’ll be obedient.” Summer said with a nod, and the spark in her eyes dimmed a little more.

“Soak your feet for a bit. No one will be taking care of you here. How are you going to take care of a baby if you can’t even take care of yourself?” Jasper was not in a hurry to leave. Out of the blue, he filled up a basin with warm water for Summer to soak her feet in.

Summer was not used to Jasper’s sudden kind gestures. She was so scared that her entire body was stiff.

Would he mock her again at the very next moment?

Mock her for wanting too much in life?

The air in the rented house was very humid with an intense smell of mould.

The place neither had a heater nor an air-conditioner.

Of course, Jasper did not pay attention to these missing details. He was a little impatient as he glanced at his watch. “Drink some hot water and take a rest. I’ll take you out to buy some clothes and a cell phone tomorrow.”

This place was a rented house, after all, and there was no nanny here to take care of this idiot.

Summer was flustered as she gazed at Jasper. Why was he starting to… care about her?

    “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
