Grace almost laughed at her daughter’s words, while Philip Barlow also had a wry smile.
Therefore, the Reed family stayed for dinner.
Jasper happily sat with William, but she was as natural as a little host. She helped William with the food while she chattered, “William, you seem to have lost weight. You need to eat more.
You’re cuter when you’re chubby.”
William obediently ate the food that Jasper gave him. He ate with all his might. ‘I’m cuter if I’m chubby?
Will she like me more if I’m chubbier?’
Old Master Barlow and Old Madam Barlow were delighted to see their grandson eat more than usual.
Their grandson usually ate so little. They were even worried that their grandson would not get enough nutrients!
Mick Reed blinked and watched his sister have dinner with William, wondering why William was so obedient to her.
William was no longer the poor little boy dependent on others. He did not need to do this!
After dinner, Jasper and William sat down at the piano in the living room and began to play a tune.
Back at the Reed family’s house, they would often listen to the two little ones play the piano after dinner.
William had not played with Jasper for some time. However, the music rang out and their four little hands played on the piano so naturally.
The others could not believe their tacit understanding. Besides, the two little ones were playing fast-
tempo music. They only saw four small hands quickly moving on the piano keys while musical notes rang out one after another.
Although the Barlow family knew that Jasper was also a good piano player, William had always said that he was not as good as Jasper when he was praised for his piano skills.
However, the Barlow family had always thought he was humbling himself. After all, William’s piano skills had been praised by accomplished pianists before.
After hearing Jasper play the piano today, they thought that perhaps William was not being humble. At least to regular people like them, Jasper was just as good as William.
After they finished playing one tune, Jasper was still dissatisfied. She immediately played another tune, and William followed her as if words were not needed.
Tune after tune, they played nearly ten tunes before stopping.
“Playing the piano with William is the best!” Jasper mumbled. He was the only one among her peers who could keep up with her. “Unfortunately, I can’t play the piano with William every day.”
“After we grow up… I’ll play the piano with you every day.” William promised sternly.
Jasper furrowed her delicate eyebrows somewhat strangely. “We can do that after we grow up?”
“Yeah, we can do that… after we grow up.” He would be strong enough to deserve her and protect her, instead of having her protect him.
Jasper listened carefully. Then, she tilted her head, thought about it, and said, “Then we must grow up quickly so that we can be together!”
Grace talked about Amber Mitchell again during a chat with Philip Barlow.
“In this case, the point of Amber Mitchell losing her mind because of Herman Moss is indeed doubtful,”
said Philip Barlow.
“So, there’s something I’m hoping you can help me with, Mr. Barlow,” Grace took the opportunity and said.
Philip Barlow could not help but smile. “The famous Young master Reed of Emerald City is right by your side. Aren’t you embarrassing Young master Reed by asking me for help?”
“Mr. Barlow, you have a lot of connections in Deer City. It’d be much faster if you could help,” said Grace.
Jason also said, “If you can help us, you can put forward any conditions you want, Mr. Barlow.”
“I wonder what favor you need?” said Philip Barlow.
“I hope you can secretly install surveillance cameras in Amber Mitchell’s ward and find an authoritative psychiatrist to enter the ward in disguise. I want them to re-evaluate Amber Mitchell’s mental health. Of course, I don’t want all this to attract the Mitchell family’s attention. I’m afraid the hospital nurses and Amber Mitchell’s attending doctor have been bribed by the Mitchell family.” In other words, they needed to avoid them.
Philip Barlow pondered for a while and said, “It won’t be difficult, but the Mitchell family will probably find out about this if I help you. The Barlow family will probably have a falling out with the Mitchell family when that happens.”
In business, it was natural for businessmen not to want to be in conflict with other corporations.
“If the Barlow family’s business suffers any losses because of this in the future, the Reed family should be able to cover them. After all, our two families can also have some business deals. Reed group is working on a real estate project recently. If you’re interested, you can join us,” said Jason.
Philip Barlow stared at Jason thoughtfully. Moments later, he smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll start making arrangements. I should be able to give you the answer you want in a few days.”
Grace was relieved to hear it. When she wanted to get her daughter to go back to the hotel, she found that her daughter had fallen asleep while leaning on William.
Kids fell asleep so quickly!
Grace stepped forward and bent over to pick up her daughter.
However, Jasper Reed’s two small hands were grabbing William’s small arm and holding it tightly. It was impossible to pull them apart.
Grace was about to wake her daughter up, but William said, “aunt Cummins, don’t wake Jasper up, okay?” The little one’s pleading eyes made Grace a little hesitant.
It felt like she would upset the child if she woke her daughter up.
“Why don’t you let Jasper sleep here tonight? The kids haven’t seen each other for a long time. I heard they used to sleep together, so it should be alright,” said Philip Barlow.
Jason raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling as though someone was about to steal the precious treasure he had kept for so long.
“They’re older now. It’s inappropriate for them to sleep together.”
“They’re only six. They’re not that old,” said Philip Barlow.
The two fathers looked at each other.
Just then, the sleeping Jasper seemed to sense something and muttered, “I want to be with William…
Fei…”
Grace instantly felt a pang in her heart. She looked up at Philip Barlow and said, “Then… sorry for any trouble Jasper will cause you tonight.”
Philip Barlow smiled. “Don’t mention it. I think William will love to spend more time with Jasper.”
Jason did not refute and just followed Grace’s decision. He held their son’s hand and said, “Alright, let’s go back to the hotel first. We’ll pick up your sister tomorrow.”
“Okay,” replied Mick Reed. Before he left, he looked at his sister, who was holding William’s small arm and seemingly smiling in her sleep.
Mick Reed asked on their way back to the hotel, “Does one like someone forever?”
“Why do you ask?” Grace asked in confusion.
“I’m wondering when Jasper will stop liking William. That way, she’ll stop talking about coming to Deer City all the time,” said Mick Reed.
Grace touched her son’s head and said, “If you really like someone, you won’t stop liking them. You’ll always like them.”
“Is it just like Mason and his sis?” Mick Reed still remembered his younger brother, who had said more than once that he would always like his sis!
Grace smiled. “Maybe.”
“Maybe?” Mick Reed had confusion in his eyes.
Grace said, “You’re too young. You don’t know how long your fondness will last, but I hope you’ll learn to cherish this ‘fondness’ no matter what. Liking someone isn’t easy, and it’s even harder to keep liking them.”
Mick Reed listened with a hazy notion. “So, what about your affection for Daddy, Mommy?”
Grace looked at Jason beside her, and her red lips gently said, “I’ll always like him. I’ll like him very much.”
