“But you’re a boy, Mason. You can’t be so petty. Though I like you the most, I’ll like someone else too someday,”
Veronica Barlow could not help saying.
For example, her best friend Kay had secretly told her that she had a boyfriend. Kay’s boyfriend was the gym class representative from the next class, and he was good at playing basketball. Kay also said that her boyfriend would buy her soda every day, and he was good to her.
She was curious and envious when Kay talked about her boyfriend.
‘Um, how would it feel to have a boyfriend? Would it be like what I see on TV?’ Although she was only in the first grade, she knew what a boyfriend was. After all, it was all on TV.
“Then don’t like someone else,” Mason’s smile faded again as he spoke sulkily.
“How is that possible?” Veronica Barlow rejected right away, not noticing Mason’s eyes dimming slowly!
William squatted in the corridor for an unknown length of time.
‘Even though I left the room, no one noticed. Even… Jasper didn’t come out looking for me.
‘Is it because I’m nobody important?
‘Maybe Jasper only finds me interesting because I play the piano and a lot of kids can’t play the piano or keep up with her. That’s why she wanted to play with me.’
‘But if she meets someone she likes better, I’ll be cast aside like now.
‘Will it be like what the servants’ children said? If she loses interest in me or gets bored with my piano playing, she’ll get rid of me?’
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. It was Nelson Corbyn!
William looked blankly as Nelson Corbyn walked over. He looked gentle and spoke softly, just like the prince in Jasper’s storybooks.
Nelson Corbyn noticed William too. He walked over and asked, “William, what are you doing here?”
“N-Nothing,” William said stiffly. He did not like Nelson Corbyn, but for some reason, he did not hate him either.
“Aren’t you going in to see the baby?” Nelson Corbyn continued asking.
William looked down and ignored him.
Nelson Corbyn smiled and said nothing more. He turned and walked toward the stairway nearby.
Just then, William’s ears twitched as he raised his head as if he had heard something. Then, he darted toward Nelson Corbyn.
The next moment, Nelson Corbyn dodged instinctively. However, he lost his footing and fell down the stairs.
Thump!
Fortunately, Nelson Corbyn grabbed the handrail of the stairs. Even so, he had fallen several steps!
There was a cry of surprise downstairs. Kyla hurried over and helped her son get up. “Nelson, what came over you?
How did you fall down the stairs? Are you okay? Does it hurt?”
Nelson Corbyn clenched his teeth in pain for a long time before catching his breath and saying to Kyla, “Mom, I’m fine. I’m okay.”
Grace also rushed over. “I think you’d better go to the hospital to check it out. A fall like that might be serious.
Some wounds might not be obvious, but it might be too late when there’s something wrong!”
Kyla replied in acknowledgment. She was about to take her son downstairs and go to the hospital when a childlike voice suddenly rang out.
“William, why did you push Nelson downstairs?”
All eyes instantly turned to the top of the stairs.
They only saw William standing at the top of the stairs, while Jasper was staring at him with anger and shock. It was obvious that she had witnessed something.
Grace hurried to her daughter’s side. “Jasper, what happened?”
Jasper said, “Mommy, I saw William push Nelson downstairs! I wasn’t the only one who saw it but Brother did too!”
She could not understand why William pushed Nelson. If Nelson had not grabbed the handrail in time, he would have taken a bad fall.
She had once seen a TV show about a woman who died after being pushed down a flight of stairs.
Although her mother told her that everything in TV shows was fake, she still had nightmares about it for a long time.
Grace looked at Mick Reed. “Mick, is what Jasper said true?”
Mick Reed nodded. “Jasper and I saw William suddenly rushing out and pushing Nelson when he was going down the stairs.”
All eyes were instantly on William.
William’s tiny body winced a little.
“William, tell me why you did that,” Grace said as she looked at William sternly.
William’s dark eyes looked at Grace, Nelson Corbyn, and finally Jasper Reed.
There was more fury than confusion on Jasper Reed’s face. William opened his mouth but suddenly had no idea what to say. He tried to push Nelson Corbyn away because he heard something shooting toward Nelson Corbyn.
However, no one would believe him if he said that, would they?
It was because he did not have any proof!
William looked down and said nothing more.
Grace frowned, turned to look at Kyla, and said, “Kyla, I’m sorry that Nelson’s hurt. Why don’t I ask the driver to take you and Nelson to the hospital first?”
“Yes… Yes, let’s go to the hospital first,” Lina said hurriedly.
Kyla nodded and left with Nelson Corbyn. Grace said to Lina, “Lina, I’ll take the kids back first. I’ll visit you some other day.”
“Sure!” answered Lina. Then, she looked at William, who had his head down. “William is still young. Take your time educating him. It should be fine.”
‘I hope so.’ She hoped.
Lina did not believe that children with criminal parents would also be criminals just because they shared the same genes.
However, William pushing Nelson down the stairs reminded her of Lily. Her heart could not help shuddering at that.
“The child was with Lily for five years. He’s not indifferent to human life because of Lily, is he?’
“Got it,” answered Grace before leaving with the children.
She first sent Mason and Veronica Barlow back to the He family’s house before returning to the Reed family’s house with the three children.
