After seeing Mason making a video call, Jasper also wanted to call her dad and William.
“Be good now. Coming here is our little secret. Didn’t we agree on keeping this from Daddy for a while? How about this? I’ll call Uncle Kwan and ask him to get William to have a video call with you,” said Grace.
She had an agreement with the children not to tell Jay about coming here. As for Mrs. Watts’s real identity as their grandmother, Grace planned to tell them when they were older.
After all, there was more to it than what a few words could explain.
Therefore, Jasper soon held Grace’s phone and had a video call with William.
Grace then asked her oldest son, “Is there anyone you want to video call? … Except Daddy, of course.””
The little one shook his head. He did not have anyone in particular that he wanted to have a video call with. He could not understand why Mason and lasper were so happy to them.
The people who mattered to him were his parents, Mason, Jasper. The others… did not matter!
At night, Grace looked at her three children who were already sound asleep and smiled. Then, she took out her phone and sent a short text message to Jason.
Grace: [We’re safe. Don’t miss us.]
That was all she sent out.
In Reed Residence, Jason looked at the text message on his phone and his slender fingers gently swiped over every word on the phone.
“How can I not worry? Grace, come back soon. I miss you,” he muttered.
He missed her so much. He missed her warmth, her scent, her everything…
“Good night.” He slowly uttered the two words and kissed the message on his phone screen.
‘They’re safe. Don’t miss them!
‘They’re safe. Don’t miss them!’
However, every word seemed to be engraved in his mind. Then, his heart was full of ‘longing’.
In a presidential suite in Emerald City’s famous five-star hotel, a tall, handsome man looked through the photos on the coffee table. All of which were of William.
Except, he was not looking into the camera in any of them. It was obvious that they were taken secretly.
“Is this the child Lily gave birth to?” the man asked.
“Yes, but we’re not 100% certain because Lily is already dead. There’s no way we can do a DNA test.” Standing in front of the man was a thin man in his 40s with a scruffy beard. He was a well-known private investigator in Emerald City.
“It doesn’t matter. I’m not trying to prove whether he’s related to Lily anyway. Find a way to get me his blood or hair sample,”
the man said.
“That’s not a problem,” the private investigator said. After all, in his opinion, it was just a child staying with the Reed family.
How hard could it be?
“Also, I don’t want anyone else to find out about this. You know what will happen if I ever find out that you revealed it to anyone else,” the man said coldly.
The private investigator froze and immediately replied, “Yes, yes, I understand. No one else will find out about this!”
Lina had been having the time of her life these days. She would accompany her parents around J City during the day as if they were here for a holiday. She even made them a travel itinerary.
If it were not for the fact that she was pregnant and could not exhaust herself, she would have gone with her parents to various tourist attractions in J City.
She had also become a regular to Hadwin Stephenson’s office. No one would stop her now. Even her access to Hadwin Stephenson’s office became unimpeded.
“Miss Sweeney, Mr. Stephenson is having a meeting. He said you can go and wait for him in his office if you’re here,” the secretary said.
As soon as Lina entered the office and put down her bag, her phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Anthony Sherman.
Speaking of which, she and Anthony Sherman had not talked to each other for quite a while. However, she had texted him when she came to J City to find Hadwin. He even expressed his wishes that she and Hadwin could make up with each other he should be at work right now.
“I just… want to ask how you’re doing recently. Have you made up with Mr. Stephenson?” Anthony Sherman’s voice sounded a little hoarse.
“I guess so,” said Lina.
“In that case… Then…” Anthony Sherman was hesitant as if he had some difficulty saying it.
Lina said, “What’s the matter? Just tell me whatever you have to say. We haven’t known each other for long, but we’re considered friends.”
The other end of the line was silent for a long time. “Lina, you’re a good woman. I never wanted to hurt you, but I…
I… Anyway, I’m sorry! Lina, I’m so sorry!”
With that said, Anthony Sherman abruptly ended the call.
Lina stared at her phone, finding it strange. ‘What does he mean? Why is he suddenly apologizing?
‘He hasn’t even done anything wrong to me!’
Therefore, Lina called him back, wanting to get to the bottom of it. However, there was a busy signal on the other end of the line. Then, his phone was switched off.
Lina frowned, feeling vaguely worried. She called again.
It was the same as last time.
“What’s the matter? Are you calling Anthony Sherman for something?” A voice rang in her ears out of the blue.
Lina looked up, only to see that Hadwin Stephenson had walked into the office and was standing next to her. “Have you finished your meeting?”
