“Yeah,” the little one responded uncomfortably. His pearly white teeth were biting his lip.

Philip Barlow stared at him. “If you’re asking me to lend you money, how are you going to pay me back?”

Embarrassment flashed across William’s face. ‘Yeah, how am I going to pay him back? I can’t make money at all!’

Even if he wanted to earn money by performing like buskers, he had no piano!

“I’ll lend you the money if you return to Deer City with me,” said Philip Barlow.

‘Return to Deer City?’ His little body stiffened, and he shook his head firmly. “I… I’m not going to Deer City.” He wanted to stay with Jasper.

“Do you want to stay with the Reed family so badly? What good will it do for you when you’re so dependent on others’ charity and can’t even afford to buy a present?”

William was instantly surprised when Philip Barlow said this, and his beautiful dark eyes opened wide to look at the man in front of him.

“What’s the matter? Didn’t you ask me to lend you money so you could buy Jasper a birthday present ?” Philip Barlow asked in reply.

William asked in a mutter, “How… do you know?”

“I’m your father. Of course, I know what you’re thinking. Now, what are you going to do if I won’t lend you the money? What will Jasper think of you when you can’t even get her a presentable gift?”

The little one lowered his head and was silent.

“Alright, you’ve been out long enough. I’ll send you back. Otherwise, the kindergarten teacher will worry,” said Philip Barlow before ordering the driver to drive to the kindergarten.

When William returned to the kindergarten, the teacher had noticed that he was missing and was checking the surveillance footage.

As soon as Jasper saw him come back, she rushed to him and hugged him. “William, why did you go outside? Didn’t the teacher tell us that we can’t go outside alone? We’ll get kidnapped by bad people.”

“I…” William was silent, too embarrassed to say that he wanted to see what presents he could buy for her. However, they all cost a lot of money and he was broke.

Just then, Jasper noticed Philip Barlow. “Thank you for bringing William back, Uncle.”

“You’re thanking me?” Philip Barlow chuckled and stared at Jasper Reed. ‘She must be the one who’s making my son reluctant to leave the Reed family!

“I don’t need you to thank me.”

Looking at the man in front of her, Jasper found him a little familiar, but she had no idea it was because William looked somewhat similar to Philip Barlow.

Philip Barlow looked at William. “I hope the next time you come looking for me will be the time you’re willing to leave the Reed family.””

Jasper was shocked as soon as he said that. She immediately pulled William behind her like a hen protecting her chick. However, she was only five years old and was as tall as William.

“William wouldn’t want to leave my family! Who are you, Uncle?” Her sixth sense gave her a feeling that the uncle in front of her would steal William away.

“I’m…” Philip Barlow was just about to speak when William suddenly exclaimed, “I’m not leaving!”

Philip Barlow stared at William. Moments later he asked Without saying anything else, Philip Barlow turned to leave. Jasper hugged and kissed William. “I knew you wouldn’t leave, William!”

However, Mick Reed, who had been quietly staring at Philip Barlow’s leaving figure, seemed to be thinking about something.

In the evening, Jasper came to William’s room with her small pillow and blanket to sleep in his bed.

The Reed family was used to Jasper sleeping with William every night.

“William, why did that uncle say that he wanted you to leave the Reed family the next time you look for him? Who’s that uncle? Do you know him?” asked Jasper Reed.

Even though the man had left, uneasiness continued to envelop her.

“I…” William clenched his teeth and looked at the pair of clear eyes in front of him. His words were on the tip of his tongue, but what he said was, “No, I don’t know him.”

He did not want her to know that he had a father. He could not stay with the Reed family anymore if everyone found out that he had a father.

didn’t you say we’re friends and I have to stay here forever?” William’s voice stammered a little.

“Yeah.” Jasper had a bright smile on her face. “We’re friends. William, you can just stay here forever! I’ll be nice to you!”

Her smile warmed his heart, but he felt guilty about lying to her at the same time.

He wanted to stay here. He wanted to stay here no matter what!

The birthday party for the Reed family’s triplets had become the talk of Emerald City.

Many people only knew about Little Young Master Mick but did not know that there were triplets. The birthday party would be the triplets’ first public appearance.

However, the Reed family was very protective of the triplets. The press was stopped at the hotel where the party was being held. All the reporters knew that they would have to blur the triplets’ faces in all photos or videos of them.

If they exposed the triplets’ faces to the public, they might not be able to make a living in Emerald City anymore.

te is an Ex-Convict!

The grand birthday party brought together Emerald City’s top elites.

Ordinary people like the He family were only able to attend this party because of Mason, or more specifically, Veronica Barlow!

It would be strange if only Veronica Barlow came, so the He family was also invited.

Looking at the splendid party in front of her and the upper-class people whom she could only see on TV before this, it would be a lie if Rosalind Bush said she was not shocked.

Although she had thought about what to expect since the party was frequently reported on the news, she was still shocked when she arrived.

‘Is this what it means to be a rich family?’

Only by holding on to Mason could her family enter high society and get more benefits so that her own son could become rich in the future.

With that in mind, Rosalind Bush smiled as she took her stepdaughter’s hand and said. “Come on. Veronica Let’s go.

She also gave her husband a look as she spoke. With a good luck charm like Veronica Barlow around, they were still related to the Reed family even though Jason and Grace often ignored them.

As long as the upper class there saw that they were related to the Reed family, it would greatly benefit their future.

“Yeah. Come on, Veronica. Take your brother’s hand. We’ll go see Mason and say hello to his parents,” Archer Barlow said after receiving the hint.

However, Veronica Barlow looked at everything before her in a trance. She seemed to be stuck in a trance, not hearing what her father and stepmother were saying.

She had always thought of Mason as her younger brother, someone she had to take care of and protect. If she did not take care of Mason, then Mason would be too pitiful.

However, for the first time, she felt so distinctly that Mason was no longer the pitiful brother she thought but what the grown-ups called the young master of a rich family.

Even without her care and protection, Mason could live a good life. He had his daddy, mommy, and so many servants. Many people she had only seen on TV came to celebrate Mason’s birthday today. It was something she could not imagine but was happening in reality.

When Veronica Barlow followed her parents to Jason and the distinct feeling intensified.

She watched her father and stepmother give all sorts of compliments. Mason was dressed up just like the young master of the super-rich family she saw in TV shows.

He wore a crisp small suit with a small bow tie. His leather shoes were shiny, and his black hair was combed neatly, making his beautiful face look even better.
