William silently withdrew his hand with a flash of disappointment in his eyes. If it was possible, he wished he could wipe her tears away and make her stop crying.
ount Cummins had transferred him to a new kindergarten where no one knew that he was the son of a criminal They only thought that he was o relative of the Reed family and did not discriminate against him in the kindergarten.
However, he still felt like a misfit in the Reed family.
Many people here would give him strange looks as if reminding him that he was the son of a criminal, and his mother had deeply hurt members of the Reed family!
Suddenly, William’s tiny body stiffened when he noticed Jason’s eyes staring at him. They were both sharp and alert.
He felt immobilized as he faced that gaze.
‘Is it because I’m still a kid? Is that why I feel so helpless?’ For a moment, William suddenly wished to grow up.
If he was all grown up, would he not feel so helpless?
At night, Grace asked Jason, “You seemed to be watching William a lot today, so much so that the child’s face was a little pale. What’s going on?”
Jason raised his eyebrows slightly, not expecting her to have noticed.
“What do you think of William?” asked Jason.
Grace said, “He’s pretty good. He’s smart, obedient, and doesn’t mess around.” Children at this age were often naughty, but William had always been heart-wrenchingly quiet.
“The boy’s close with Jasper, but he’s Lily’s child, after all,” said Jason.
Grace froze slightly, “Our feud with Lily has nothing to do with children.” She did not want to involve the children in it.
Therefore, she had been deliberately downplaying it these days.
“You might think he has nothing to do with it, but he doesn’t necessarily think you had nothing to do with his mother’s death,” said Jason. He wanted to protect Grace and his children, so could not take the risk.
After a moment of reflection, Grace said, “At least, I have a clear conscience and will treat William well. But if he really has a grudge against the Reed family and me, then I won’t sit idly.”
“Or we could wait two years. When Jasper is no longer interested in him, we’ll find an excuse to send him somewhere else,” said Jason “Jasper truly regards Willum as a friend. They’ll only get closer and closer” aid Grace.
“Friend?” Jason chuckled. “They can never be friends.”
“But…”
“Alright, I got it. As long as the child doesn’t step out of line while he’s with the Reed family, I won’t do anything to a child, of course. What’s more, maybe someone will pick him up without me sending him away,” said Jason.
“What do you mean? Who’s picking him up? The Atkinson family?” asked Grace.
“That depends. I don’t know who’s going to pick him up yet,” said Jason. ‘Does the Barlow family of Deer City have anything to do with this boy?
‘Everything’s still up in the air!
Lina had a phone call with Grace and found out that she and Jason had been discharged from the hospital, so she was relieved.
However, after finding out that her best friend had made a one-month deal with Hadwin Stephenson, Grace could not help asking, “li he still rejects you after a month, can you really get over him and go back to Emerald City?”
Lina replied, “Yeah. When that happens, I’ll get over him even if I can’t. Otherwise, I’d just be causing him trouble if I continue harassing him. It’s better to give him my blessing than to be annoying. But now, I want to fight for my happiness for once.”
Not for the baby but for herself.
“Good luck! Call me if you come across any trouble in J City!”
said Grace.
“Okay. Thank you, Grace,” said Lina. After ending the call, Lina put away her phone and looked at the dazzling cakes in front of her.
Each cake was beautiful.
She had done her homework online and knew that there was a famous cake shop in J City. It would be Hadwin’s birthday in three days. She also saw the news about his birthday party online and knew that he would hold a birthday party at a famous hotel in J City on his birthday.
She knew he would never invite her to the party.
‘At least after the party, I… can have a cake with him. Perhaps he won’t say no to eating a slice of cake together!
Lina thought about it and ordered a Disney Mickey and Minnie-shaped cake.
After giving out her information, the cashier handed her the receipt to collect the cake later.
Lina put away the receipt and walked out of the store, but a stranger came over and blocked her way.
“Miss Lina? Our madam would like to see you.” Although he spoke quite respectfully, not the slightest respect was in his eyes when he looked at Lina. They even carried a faint trace of disdain.
“Who’s your madam?” asked Lina.
“President Stephenson’s mother,” he said.
‘Hadwin’s mother?’ Lina froze. Speaking of which, though she dated Hadwin back then, she had never met his mother.
Hadwin also said he would take her to see his mother after he secured his position in the Stephenson family, but she did not expect it to be five years later when she had the opportunity to see his mother.
“And how do I know she sent you?” Lina asked warily. After all, she did not want to be kidnapped again.
He took out a phone, and the video call soon got through. Lina saw an elegant woman in front of the camera, saying in an indifferent voice, “Miss Sweeney, I’m Hadwin Stephenson’s mother. I’d like to see you.”
Lina recognized at a glance that the woman was indeed Hadwin Stephenson’s mother. She looked somewhat similar to Hadwin Stephenson, and the most important thing was that she had seen a photo of Hadwin’s mother online before. The person in the video looked the same.
“Okay, I’ll go over,” said Lina.
