Philip Barlow said nothing else and turned to walk out of the room.
Soon, a kindergarten teacher walked in and took William back to the classroom. They made him lie down on his nap bed as if nothing had happened. Only the note in William’s tiny hand reminded him of what had just happened.
When Philip Barlow walked out of the kindergarten, he saw another car parked next to his. A figure came down from it. It was Jason, the toughest man in Emerald City!
dawned upon him.
Well, William now lived in the Reed family’s house. Although he was careful not to alarm anyone when he investigated William, Jason was not an ordinary person.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Barlow. But we never had a chance to meet. I didn’t expect to see you here. I
wonder what you’re doing at this kindergarten. Does the Barlow family have children in this kindergarten too?” said Jason.
As soon as Philip Barlow said this, he knew that Jason probably already knew about everything.
Therefore, he stopped pretending. “But I do have a son here.
Thank you for taking care of my son William all this while, Mr.
Reed.”
The two men looked at each other.
“Taking care of him is nothing. My daughter is fond of William, but I wonder what you have to do with Lily, Mr.
Barlow. Now that Lily has died in prison, what are you doing in Emerald City, Mr. Barlow?”
Jason was straightforward.
Philip Barlow was indeed not someone to be looked down upon, and Lily had brought her death upon herself.
However, it did have something to do with the Reed family and Grace. If failed to distinguish right from wrong and wanted to get revenge for Lily, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Smart people like Philip Barlow knew what Jason meant. “I only came to Emerald City to take William away. As for Lily, I’ll stay out of her feud with the Reed family. Besides, she’s dead now. I don’t have to do anything for her.”
He spoke ruthlessly. Philip Barlow did not even remember the face of the woman he once had a fling with, and most of his impression of her was based on his investigations afterward.
He was not that stupid to make himself an enemy of the Reed family for a dead woman.
Moreover, he had no feelings for Lily. He might not even have investigated that night so many years ago and wondered if he had a child had it not been impossible for him to have children now.
However, it was surprising that a woman like Lily would give birth to the child. That was considered to be the one good thing Lily had done.
If Lily were still alive and made him take on the Reed family, perhaps he would have agreed.
“So when are you going to bring William back to Deer City, Mr. Barlow?” asked Jason.
“I’m afraid not now. The little one wishes to stay with the Reed family for a while longer. When he wants to go back to Deer City with me, I’ll come and take him back. As for William’s living expenses, I’ll send you a check shortly,”
said Philip Barlow.
Jason raised his eyebrows. Since he wanted to pay for his son, there was no reason for him to say no.
After the conversation, the two men got back into their respective cars, which drove off in opposite directions.
Grace was shocked when Jason told her about this that night.
“What? William is Philip Barlow’s son? Are you sure?” The Barlow family of Deer City was influential in the country.
However, according to various gossip news, it was a family with intense internal strife.
Philip Barlow was currently the head of the Barlow family and a famous bachelor in Deer City. He was 35 years old but never Jason said, “Philip Barlow admitted today that William is his son. He probably did a DNA test. But it seems that William doesn’t want to leave with him, so he said he’ll take William back to Deer City when he wants to leave.””
Grace froze and speculated, saying, “Is William unwilling to go because of Jasper?”
After all, the two children were very close. Jasper always went to William’s room to sleep every night. She would always find her daughter in William’s room when she went to look for her in the morning.
Jason said with a half-smile, “Maybe. But he’ll leave the Reed family and return to Deer City one day.”
“That’s true. After all, Philip Barlow is his biological father. They’re father and son. The Barlow family is his real family,” said Grace.
Jason shook his head. “William will leave the Barlow family not because of the father and son bond or family, but because he’ll find that he’ll never get what he wants if he doesn’t return to the Barlow family.”
Grace could not help laughing. “What does he want? What can a child want? It can only be toys, food, or maybe more friends. But William doesn’t seem to be the type to like to make friends.”
Jason only laughed and said nothing. Men like Philip Barlow probably be worried about keeping their son in someone else’s home. It would not be long before he did something to make William understand the cruelty of reality.
However, if the boy did go back to Deer City, Jasper would be losing a toy.
While Jasper’s interest in William had not seemed to fade, Jason still did not want to keep him around his daughter.
After all, William’s mother was Lily.
He would make William leave the Reed family in a few years even if the Barlow family never came for him.
‘But… the Barlow family… If the child returns to the Barlow family, what will happen in the future? What about Jasper?’
Jason secretly laughed at himself for overthinking. Even if the child could become the heir of the Barlow family in the future and hold authority in the Barlow family, he would not let the boy hurt his daughter.
Lina had specialists responsible for her pregnancy check-ups, and Hadwin Stephenson would also accompany her.
Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney were also arranged to stay in Hadwin Stephenson’s private mansion. No reporters were disturbing them, but it was just to avoid unnecessary trouble. They would have video calls with their daughter every day.
Today, Hadwin Stephenson accompanied Lina to the hospital. Hadwin Stephenson waited outside while Lina had her examinations in the ultrasound room. A female nurse accompanied Lina inside.
