“Okay,” he answered softly.
Once they arrived at Reed Residence, Jasper took William to the piano room to practice.
The huge piano room had become their private domain.
Jasper and William played three pieces by Beethoven.
It would have been difficult for even two adults, let alone two children. However, the two cooperated well with each other. Four little hands moved quickly on the piano keys without a single mistake.
When they stopped playing, the beautiful sound seemed to still echo throughout the room.
Jasper had a fun time. She turned to William with a smile. “I enjoy playing with you the most. It’s much more interesting than playing with adults.”
Although she had played with teachers and adults who played the piano better than her or William, she was always bored.
However, playing the piano with William made her happy. She would want to continue playing with him.
However, what she said did not make William as happy as usual. He said gloomily instead, “Do you… only enjoy playing the piano with me?”
“No, I like you too!” said Jasper Reed.
“What do you like about me?” asked William.
“I like that you play the piano, and I like that you uh… look so cute you look like a doll. It’s also comfortable to hold you to sleep at night. Besides, you’re nice to me…” Jasper counted with her fingers and finally concluded, “In short, I like all of you!”
“So do you like me more than Nelson, or do you like Nelson more?” he asked. The thought of her holding Nelson Corbyn while crying upset him.
However, he had no idea then that the emotion was called… jealousy!
Jasper blinked with confusion on her face. “I don’t know which one of you I like better. I like you, but I also like Nelson!”
Disappointment flashed across William’s little face, and he suddenly hugged Jasper Reed. The two small bodies hugged each other in front of the piano.
“Can you… like me more?” he muttered. He wanted to be her favorite.
“Why?” she asked in confusion.
He hesitated for a moment before finally saying what was on his mind. “Because I like you, Jasper.” He liked her more than anything else in the world.
Jasper mumbled, “I think I like both of you. Why don’t I try to like you more in the future?”
William widened his eyes and looked at Jasper with surprise. “Then you must keep your word. You can’t lie!”
“I won’t lie!” She wrinkled her little nose. Looking at his smile, she suddenly thought he looked so good when he smiled.
Nelson looked at the man he should call ‘Daddy‘!
He had just gotten out of school when someone stopped him and took him to a car.
“What did you say to Mommy the last time you asked her to stay back alone?” asked Nelson Corbyn. He would not have gotten in the car to meet the man he hated were it not for this question.
Martin Weiss silently looked at his biological son who was looking at him with hostility.
“I was talking to your mommy about you being bullied, of course,” said Martin Weiss.
Nelson Corbyn snapped. “Don’t talk to Mommy about that. It’s none of your business whether I’m being bullied!”
Back when the man in front of him treated him badly, he had already told himself that he had no father but only a mother.
“It’s none of my business?” Martin Weiss suddenly sneered. “You have half of my blood. Even if you deny it, you’re my son.
Besides, you’re not even 18 years old yet. You’re still little, yet you can’t wait to cut ties with me.”
Nelson Corbyn pressed his lips together tightly.
Martin Weiss added, “Besides, if I hadn’t arrived in time that day, do you think you could stand in front of me like this now? You might still be lying in the hospital.”
A hint of embarrassment flashed through Nelson Corbyn’s face, but his gaze was unyielding. “One day, I’ll become stronger and not let anyone bully me!”
“One day?” Martin Weiss sneered. “When is that? Or will you continue to learn that unpractical martial arts you call taekwondo and continue getting beaten up?”
“Taekwondo isn’t unpractical martial arts!” retorted Nelson Corbyn.
Martin Weiss said, “Then let’s go and see just how ‘strong‘ you are that you think you can protect yourself! I’ll take you there if you want to see it. Otherwise, you can get down from the car now!”
Nelson Corbyn hesitated. He looked at the store not far away, which was now surrounded by many students coming out of the school. He knew his mother would be busiest right now.
‘Mommy probably won’t notice if I go to check it out? I’ll just come back quickly!‘
Moments later, Nelson Corbyn nodded and the car slowly moved away.
Martin Weiss took Nelson Corbyn to a training center. The name of the so–called martial arts did not matter. It was only about real combat.
Nelson Corbyn’s eyes widened as he watched two men go through combat drills as if he had never seen it before.
These two people had no fancy skills or fixed moves. They were only simple moves, but each of them was so straightforward.
Nelson Corbyn was so mesmerized until the smartwatch on his wrist rang.
Nelson Corbyn looked at it and immediately knew it was his mother calling. He quickly pressed answer, and Kyla’s worried voice immediately sounded. “Nelson, where are you now? Why aren’t you back yet?”
“I’m…” Before he could finish, Martin Weiss had already leaned over. His lips were close to the smartwatch on his son’s wrist. “Nelson is with me.”
Kyla exclaimed, “Martin Weiss! Why is Nelson with you? Where are you now?”
“I’m showing Nelson something and will send him back later,” he said.
Kyla was silent for a moment before finally saying, “Bring Nelson back soon!”
After ending the call, Martin Weiss looked at his regretful son. Obviously, the little one felt that he should not have come here without permission as it had made his mother worry.
“I want to go home!” said Nelson Corbyn.
“Okay,” replied Martin Weiss, not intending to keep the little one here.
When the car pulled up at Kyla’s store, Kyla was already looking at the door. She immediately rushed forward to open the car door when she saw a car pulling up.
Once her son got down from the car, Kyla looked carefully at her son, afraid that he was hurt.
“Did he… do anything to you?” Kyla asked her son.
Nelson Corbyn shook his head.
Kyla finally looked at Martin Weiss. “Mr. Weiss, I hope you’ll let me know in the future wherever you’re taking our child out.”
“Okay.” Martin Weiss smiled faintly. “I’ll remember to call you in advance next time.”
