Besides, the Reed family had been paying them money every month to take care of Mason as he was staying with them. It was a lot more money than their salaries.
“I’ll tell Veronica about it,” said Grace as she ignored Rosalind Bush, who was stomping in panic.
Grace returned to the Reed family’s house with Mason. Mick Reed and Jasper were already there waiting. Grace had also packed Mason’s luggage last night and was ordering the servants to load them into the MPV.
“Young Madam, are you sure we don’t need to tell Young master Reed?” the butler Uncle Kwan asked in worry.
“Yes, just tell him I’m taking the kids on a trip if he asks,” said Grace.
Uncle Kwan responded in acknowledgment.
Moments later, Grace and her three children got into the MPV. It slowly drove away from Reed Residence.
In the mourning hall of Reed Residence, Jason looked at his father’s memorial tablet in front of him with a touch of bitterness at the corner of his lips. “Dad, I’m sorry. I thought I would never forgive that woman and have her die to atone for her sins, but I love Grace so much that I don’t want her to suffer. So forgive me, Dad!”
Holding the lit incense sticks, he respectfully bowed three times to his father’s memorial tablet before inserting them in the burner and turning around to leave the mourning hall.
When he got back to the main house, Uncle Kwan said, “Young master Reed, Young Madam brought Young Master Mo, Second Young Master, and Young Lady out on a trip.”
“Okay, I got it,” Jason said without further questioning. They had agreed at the beginning to never let him know if she was taking the children to see that woman.
That was exactly what she did. She just told him they were going on a trip.
‘Maybe this is for the best, Jason thought to himself.
Outside a kindergarten, it was the children’s outdoor playtime. Many were gathered around to play games, but William was the only one looking at a piano score as he sat on a small William looked at the piano score carefully, aunt Cummins said she was taking Jasper and the rest to L. City, so he would be attending kindergarten alone in the next few days. Although no one in the kindergarten knew that his mother was a convict and discriminated against him, he did not want to play with the others.
He just wanted to be with Jasper, and he knew that Jasper loved his piano skills. She always liked to play with him, and they would practice difficult piano scores together.
He never found it difficult to play the piano before. The teachers who gave him piano lessons had always said he was a genius.
However, playing the piano with Jasper made him feel scared. Jasper could read music scores as well as he could.
She could even understand music and interpret it better than him.
During the time he had spent with Jasper, he could feel that Jasper was improving.
If he fell behind on his piano skills one day, would he lose his value as a toy?
William did not notice that someone was secretly taking photos of him with a camera in a corner not far away…
Grace came to L City with her three children to visit her and his wife.
Old Lawyer Watts had already prepared guest rooms for them to stay in during their stay in L City so that his wife and her three grandchildren could spend more time together.
Mrs. Watts had recovered now. Her eyes were full of gratefulness when she saw Grace. “Grace, thank you. Thank you for doing this for me.”
“Mrs. Watts, I can bring the three kids to see you and Mentor whenever you miss them, but Jay won’t…”
“I understand that. I understand!” said Mrs. Watts as her nasal voice broke a little. “I’m content with the ways things are now. I… I don’t expect Jason to forgive me and see me. I know it’s already the biggest compromise for him to spare me.”
Old Lawyer Watts patted his wife on the shoulder and comforted her. “Alright, don’t be upset. Grace brought her kids to see you today. That’s something to be happy about!”
“Yes… Yes, it’s a happy occasion!” Mrs. Watts immediately said and cheered up. “I’m going to make the kids some delicious food and take them to some interesting places in L City!”
The three children had very different personalities. Jasper and Mrs. Watts were the closest, so she kept clinging to Mrs. Watts. Meanwhile, the boys Mick Reed and Mason, remained silent in the living room.
Of course, strictly speaking, Mick Reed was watching Mason. Mason looked totally dazed, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.
Grace knew that Mason was different from ordinary children because of what he had experienced in his childhood.
She could only be patient as it would take time for his condition to improve.
Grace immediately understood that the little one wanted to call the sister he was not related to, Veronica Barlow, so she said, “Okay.”
She said as she took out a phone and video called Veronica Barlow. Grace had bought Veronica Barlow a phone and would pay for the phone bills, so the little girl need not worry about the mobile data.
When Mason saw Veronica Barlow on the video, his expressionless face immediately came alive. Although his expression still did not change much, his eyes seemed to sparkle.
Grace looked at the changes in Mason somewhat emotionally. To Mason, Veronica Barlow was the only person willing to protect him. She was also the only one who treated him well in the past few years.
It was like imprinting in animals.
There was no telling what would happen to the children. Every time Mason called Veronica Barlow ‘Sis’, it reminded her of her past with Jay.
She wondered if the two children would fall in love when they grew up. Looking at the current situation, Mason probably regarded Veronica as his one and only. However, Veronica…
probably simply regarded Mason as her younger brother.
One-sided persistence was the worst in relationships. If Veronica Barlow did not fall in love with Mason, would Mason be willing to let her go?
Grace felt worried and then burst into laughter. ‘What am I thinking? The kids are still young. They have no idea what romance is.
‘Perhaps the two children think of each other as siblings. Perhaps they’ll become boyfriend and girlfriend in the future or they’ll grow apart as they age!
The future was a long way to go, and who could be sure of what would happen? She was worrying too much.
“I’m going to do my homework. Mason, be a good boy. Do whatever aunt Cummins says. I bought some chocolate that my classmates said was delicious today. We’ll share it when you come back!” said Veronica Barlow.
“Okay, I’ll be good,” said Mason, looking just like a gentle sheep. One could not imagine that he had beaten a group of older children to the ground.
After ending the video call with Veronica Barlow, Mason returned the phone to Grace. Then, he obediently climbed into bed, pulled the covers over him, and lay down as if preparing to go to sleep.
Um… He was indeed ‘obedient’! Grace could not help smiling.
