Those bright almond-shaped eyes made Jason feel touched. If his son were not with them, he would have hugged the woman in front of him and kissed her hard to tell her his joy.

Looking at the third wheel in a daze, Jason said, “You’ll meet someone you’ll always like someday.”

“But I think I’ve already met that person. I’ll always like Mommy,” said Mick Reed.

Jason was instantly speechless.

Grace immediately said, “It’s a different affection from the affection you have for me.”

Mick Reed suddenly showed a look as if it was troublesome. ‘Are there so many types of affections?

Maybe I should talk about this later.’

After returning to the hotel, Grace put her son to bed after he washed up.

Technically speaking, she did not even have to coax him. He climbed into bed, lay down in the perfect sleeping position… and fell asleep right away! He never needed her to worry about him.

He was unlike her troublesome daughter. She needed to chat with someone before going to bed. When William was around, her daughter would chat with William. Now that William no longer stayed with the Reed family, she had to find someone else to chat with.

“Have you been coaxing Jasper to sleep during my absence?” Grace asked Jason.

“What else can I do? I can’t ask Mick to coax Jasper to sleep, can I?” Asked Jason.

“Did she ask you to tell her a story?” She speculated.

“No, she asked me to sing her nursery rhymes.” Jason felt a throbbing headache at the thought of it.

Nursery rhymes… He had not sung those for years, yet now he had to sing what he thought were childish nursery rhymes for his daughter.

He knew only a few nursery rhymes, so Terrence had to look for nursery rhymes for him to learn.

Grace froze at that. It seemed that he had improved his ways of coaxing their daughter to sleep.

“Did you sing, then?” she asked curiously.

.

“Yes,” he said in resignation. Their daughter looked so much like Grace. As long as that little face looked at him and sweetly called him ‘Daddy’, he would give her everything she wanted.

“Speaking of which, I’ve never heard you sing nursery rhymes before. Why don’t you sing one for me?”

Grace said excitedly.

Jason was speechless. There was a touch of embarrassment on his handsome face. “What’s so good about them?”

“Please sing. I want to hear you sing,” her gentle voice said coquettishly.

Jason instantly gave in. Her coquettish behavior was more fatal than their daughter’s pampered acts!

He always seemed to give in when he was in front of her.

“Okay… I’ll sing if you want to hear it,” he murmured as he parted his thin lips and started singing lively nursery rhymes.

The way he looked at her was so gentle.

How could she not love him?

In the Barlow family’s mansion, Philip Barlow came to his son’s room. His eyes glimmered when he saw his son focusing on the sleeping Jasper Reed.

“Do you like Jasper very much?” Philip Barlow asked.

William continued looking intently at the person beside him. He did not answer as if there was no need to answer the question.

“But you should know that she’s the heiress of the Reed family. There will be many people who will like her in the future.” Wealth had always been tempting. Besides, Jasper was good-looking and charming.

A girl like that would never lack suitors.

The look on William’s face changed. He looked up at his father. “Even if there are many people who like her, I’ll make sure Jasper only likes me!”

“But are you sure you’re capable of that?” Philip Barlow smiled. “You’re young. She has limited contact with people and limited play pals. Among the people she has met, you’re the only one who can play the piano with her and listen to her. It’s why she likes you, but what about the future?

What if she meets someone who plays the piano better than you and listens to her better than you?

Maybe she’ll like them better.”

William’s tiny body instantly tensed, and his little face looked grave.

‘Will Jasper… like other people more?”

“If you only want to cater to her and do whatever she wants you to do, you can be replaced one day because it’s not that hard to do both. If that’s the case, how long do you think she’ll like you?” Philip Barlow’s voice was like thunder, leaving one mark after another on his son’s heart.

William bit his lip, and his face began to turn pale.

Philip Barlow felt a little heartbroken seeing his son like this. If the two elderly knew he was saying such things to their grandson, they would probably give him a good scolding.

However… he was going to tell his son anyway even if the words were too harsh and realistic for a six-

year-old.

His son’s feelings for Jasper were too deep.

He thought their separation would weaken his son’s feelings, but it seemed to have the opposite effect.

“How do I make her keep liking me?” The little one managed to squeeze the words out after a while.

“You have to better yourself. Be better than everyone else. Be so good that she won’t be able to look away from you. Maybe only then will she continue to like you, and you can have the result you want,”

said Philip Barlow.

Many rich families would want to marry the Reed family’s heiress. The Barlow family only gave William a qualification.

The rest depended on his son’s own achievements.

Was he going to be increasingly remarkable or average?

William was silent. After a long pause, he said, “I’ll become someone remarkable. I’ll work hard to learn everything.”

Philip Barlow said, “Well then, you’ll need to cut back on your piano practice time and learn more about other things. I’ll hire a teacher for you. Alright, go to sleep, or it’s going to be pointless if you’re sleepy when Jasper wakes up tomorrow.”

“Okay,” the little one muttered in reply.

Once Philip Barlow left the room, William looked at the tiny sleeping figure next to him. He murmured, “Jasper, don’t stop. liking me, okay? Don’t let anyone else take my place. I’ll be a great person one day, I promise!”

As he spoke in his childlike voice, it sounded as though he was making an oath.

Kyla and Martin Weiss dined in the hotel restaurant with Grace and Jason.

Looking at Mick, who was eating quietly, Kyla asked, “Where’s Jasper? Didn’t she come to Deer City?”

“She’s at the Barlow family’s house. We’ll pick her up there later,” said Grace. She then told Kyla about the installation of surveillance cameras and the investigation of the attending doctor she had mentioned to Philip Barlow at the Barlow family’s house yesterday.

“Thank you, Grace,” Kyla said gratefully.

“Don’t mention it,” said Grace.

Halfway through their meal, Kyla wanted to go to the washroom. Grace accompanied Kyla there. After all, nothing could happen to Kyla in her current state.

Looking at Martin Weiss, Jason suddenly said, “Have you really forgotten your feelings for Kyla?”
