Every year, the Reed family would throw a birthday party for them, and every year on this day, he actually found it quite boring.
But if his older sister could be happy, then he could endure this boredom and playacting.
His older sister also said that he and his family were connected by blood, and they should be closer.
Those people were his relatives, and they were all good to him.
Connected by blood…what kind of feeling was that? He wasn’t really sure.
But over the years, he had gradually gotten used to the presence of these people, and sometimes he could even accept their affectionate hugs and do things for them.
Was it because they were family?
The triplets cut the cake together, while flashes of light and cheers from the crowd continued around them.
After cutting the cake, Jasper played a piano piece in front of everyone.
Today, Jasper is playing Liszt’s Transcendental Etude No. 12 Chasse-neige, which is the same piece
Lawrence played before.
William is watching Jasper play under the spotlight.
He wonders if she is still thinking about Lawrence while playing this piece.
He knows that she has never let go of Lawrence all these years.
Even though Lawrence was just a young boy she spent a few months with, he has always been treasured in her heart. William feels jealous, but he can do nothing about it.
Now, she is shining brightly under the spotlight, while he is just a member of the audience. How many steps does he need to take to truly get close to her?
When the piece ends, Mason stands up and thanks everyone. He says that the piece is dedicated to everyone and to his friend.
Jasper doesn’t say anything else.
Since Lawrence disappeared, she has made a birthday wish every year for his safety and for him to appear in front of her someday.
William’s expression changes slightly. It seems that Lawrence is still very important to her.
Suddenly, a hand rested on William’s shoulder. He turned his head and saw that it was his father.
Philip and William walked to a corner and Philip said, “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
“Dad,” William furrowed his brow slightly.
In the future, you may experience this feeling more and more.
Right now, you consider Jasper to be the most important person in your life, but she probably only sees you as a friend. Given
Jasper’s background and appearance, she will likely become more and more prominent, and she will be surrounded by various outstanding men. When that time comes, you will have to compete with more than just Lawrence.
“I know,” William’s face showed a hint of determination. “But I won’t give Jasper to anyone. I will make myself better and make Jasper like me so much that she won’t be able to leave me.”
“Since your idea, Grace, hasn’t changed, then work hard.
However, I also hope that you don’t get too fixated on things. In this world, many things can be achieved through hard work, but only emotions are the most unpredictable and even with effort, there may not be a return,” said Philip.
Although he hoped his son would eventually be with Jasper, and even used this as a way to convince his son to embrace his heritage, as the children grew older, he became afraid that his son would become too fixated on this idea.
After all these years, the father has seen all the hard work his son has put in for Jasper.
“I understand,” said William, but understanding doesn’t necessarily mean he will let go!
Because he doesn’t want to and he doesn’t feel like it!
Philip didn’t say anything else, he just took William and went to greet some other Emerald City celebrities at the party.
After exchanging pleasantries, William made his way to the hallway. Just then, a girl dressed in a high–end custom–made dress approached him.
Hello, I’m William. I’m pleased to meet you. My name is Yvonne Jones, and I’m the granddaughter of
Chairman Jones from the Jones Group. Would you like to be friends?
The other person had a smile on their face and a confident expression.
When he came down with Jasper earlier, she noticed him. She heard that he is the son of the Barlow family from Deer Capital and childhood friends with Jasper.
Although the Jiang family may not be as prominent as the Reed family, they are still well–off. Plus, she is also attractive, and has always been the center of attention among the boys.
So right now, she is very confident that William won’t refuse to be friends with them.
At that time, she will naturally find a way to snatch William from Jasper’s hands.
Even if the Reed family is more powerful than the Jiang family, it doesn’t matter as long as she can win over William. In that case, Jasper will still be inferior to her!
At this moment, Yvonne is completely absorbed in her thoughts, feeling confident that she can outdo Jasper in her own way!
Just then, she heard William’s voice saying, “I’m not interested in being friends with you.”
Yvonne’s expression froze, she didn’t expect the other person to refuse so bluntly.
“It’s just…making a friend, nothing else. Why bother…”
Just as she was about to finish speaking, William interrupted once again, saying, “Not interested!”
Yvonne’s face turned red and then pale. It was the first time she had been rejected like this, and she felt embarrassed and ashamed.
Especially those who came to attend this birthday banquet today, including her friends. Before coming to see William, she boasted to her friends that William would definitely agree and even be ecstatic about it!
The current situation is equivalent to slapping her face in front of everyone.
“Hmph! What’s so great about you? I want to be friends with you because I think highly of you.
Otherwise, do you think you, the son of a criminal, are worthy of being my friend?” Yvonne said angrily.
She heard about William from the adults. They said that William’s mother used to be a celebrity named Lily, and she might have been a young lady from the Atkinson family. Unfortunately, she was also a criminal.
William’s face changed and his dark eyes stared straight at Yvonne, making her feel scared.
Just then, she lifted her chin and said, “Why are you staring at me? I didn’t say anything wrong. It seems like your mommy also framed Jasper’s mommy before! Your mommy is a criminal of the Reed family! I wonder if Jasper knows about this. If she knew how your mommy framed her mommy, would she still want to be friends with you?”
William’s expression became even colder as he walked towards Yvonne step by step. Using a frigid tone, he said, “Say what you just said again.”
The look just now already flashed a hint of murderous intent.
“I’m afraid of you? Don’t make me laugh. I can say it again and again. You’re just a criminal’s son. Do you think being the young master of the Barlow family makes you special? No matter what, you can’t erase the fact that you have the blood of a criminal running through your veins…” Yvonne said recklessly, not knowing any better.
Just as William was about to make a move, a hand moved even faster than him.
Yvonne suddenly heard a loud and crisp slap, and in the next moment, she covered her cheek in disbelief.
The person who hit her was none other than today’s protagonist –
Jasper!
“Yi… Jasper, did you hit me?” Yvonne asked.
“Yes, so what if I hit you? If you dare to say such things, why wouldn’t I dare to hit you?” Jasper said, feeling his palms burning.
This was the first time she had ever slapped someone, and even she didn’t know how she had managed to do it.
She only heard what the other person said, got very angry, and then slapped them.
“He…his mommy is a criminal, and she even harmed your mommy. I’m speaking up for your family, why did you still hit me?”
said Yvonne.
Jasper stared at the other person and said, “Our family matters don’t require your help, and today is my birthday banquet. I don’t welcome you to attend, so please leave immediately. If you don’t leave, I will have the security guards escort you out!”
She said this without any room for maneuver.
Yvonne was furious, “You… want to kick me out?”
“Can’t I still catch up with you?” Jasper asked in response.
This statement made Yvonne’s face turn red and white. After a moment, she glared at Jasper and William with hatred, then turned around and left.
Instead of being forcibly removed by security later, she would rather find an excuse to leave early on her own and save face.
But Yvonne never expected that Jasper would protect William like this.
Let’s wait and see!
Yvonne thought to herself that she would eventually get revenge for today’s humiliation.
After Yvonne left, Jasper turned to William.
At this moment, William lowered his head, his long eyelashes covering his eyes, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.
Jasper held William’s hand and said, “Let’s go. I have some new friends who haven’t met you yet and want to get to know you.”
But William didn’t take a step, instead he suddenly said, “Do you…
still want to be friends with me, be with me?”
“What?” Jasper didn’t understand at first.
William raised his head and looked at Jasper with a steady gaze, “Like the woman just said, my mother is the one who harmed your mother. I am the son of a criminal. Would you still want to be with me?”
Jasper raised his eyes and looked at him. At this moment, his face was pale, and his gaze towards
William was even cautious and nervous.
Jasper thought for a moment, then reached out his hand and extended it towards William’s hand.
As her hand was about to touch his, he shuddered slightly and seemed to want to avoid it.
My Gorgeous Wife is on Ex–Convier
But in the and he didn’t avoid &, and instead let her take his hand with her own.
