Philip Barlow said with a half-smile, “They did cause a lot of trouble. Your daughter scattered a lot of money and mung beans in my house today. Several of my servants have taken quite a tumble.”

Jason raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at his daughter.

Jasper hurriedly said, “It’s because they caught me. I… I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to see William again if I was caught!” There was a lump in her throat, so she was stammering a little.

“Hurry and apologize to Uncle Barlow, Grandpa Shen, and Grandma Shen!” said Jason.

With eyes swollen from all her crying, the little one said to the three members of the Barlow family, “Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen, and Uncle Barlow, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Next time, I’ll ring the bell, but you mustn’t have people come to catch me.”

“…” The apology left the Barlow family not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After she finished speaking, Jasper took out a box of chocolates from her backpack and an apology card she had written a long time ago. She handed them to William.

“This is my favorite box of chocolates and an apology card I wrote. William, we’re still best friends, right?” Jasper said with a deep nasal voice.

William looked at the chocolates and apology card in his hand. He suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted.

When he opened the apology card, he saw a lot of words written on it.

He knew that she hated writing the most. She would get lazy every time the kindergarten teachers and tutors taught her to write. aunt Cummins said she even wrote her own name hideously because she did not like writing.

However, she had written all the ugly words on the apology card one by one. There were so many words!

Seeing William being silent, Jasper said a little guiltily, “Is… my handwriting too ugly? I… I tried very hard. Keep this apology card first. I promise I’ll work on my writing and make it look good!” She was only six years old, anyway. She would be able to write beautiful words when she grew up!

Just then, another voice rang out as it got closer.

“I’ll walk myself. Put me down…” Someone carried Mick Reed inside. He was shouting and struggling.

However, he was small and no match for an adult.

Security took Mick Reed to the living room, along with the tools he used to ‘commit the crime’.

When Mick Reed saw the people in the living room, he stopped struggling and immediately calmed down as if he had backup now. He had his father to take care of everything, anyway.

Philip Barlow frowned as he looked at the tools. The ‘tools’ looked a little crude to him.

However, the boy in front of him was able to cut off the Barlow family house’s electricity twice and hacked the security system with these things.

“It seems that you have a capable son, Young master Reed,” Philip Barlow said with a fake smile.

“No, no. My son only wanted to help his sister see William. I hope you won’t take it to heart, Mr. Barlow,” Jason also responded with a fake smile.

Philip Barlow’s face trembled. ‘Don’t take it to heart…’ He wanted to. However, the Barlow family would be the only one humiliated if he did. Two kids had caused the Barlow family of Deer City so much trouble.

Mick Reed walked up to William and said solemnly, “I misunderstood you, and I’m sorry. I’ll help you if someone ever bullies you in the future!”

Mick Reed spoke so solemnly. That was extremely rare for him. After all, he usually only cared about his family. He never cared about people outside his family, let alone help others.

William froze too. Although he saw Mick Reed every day and went to the same kindergarten, they rarely talked to each other. Even if they did, it was all about Jasper!

However, Mick Reed had now apologized to him and made a promise.

Seeing that his son and daughter had apologized, Jason said, “Alright, you’ve said everything you came here to say.

It’s time to go back to the hotel. We have to take a planeback to Emerald City tomorrow morning.”

Jasper subconsciously grabbed William to leave with her.

However, William’s feet froze in place.

Jasper bit her lips as her wet almond-shaped eyes were fixed on him. “William… Will you… Will you come back with us?” She was discouraged as she spoke because he had a good life here. He had many people waiting on him, and he had his grandparents and father. It was a far cry from when he was at her home.

He must prefer it here. He would not go back with her.

“Back? Go back where? This is William’s home!” Chelsea, William’s grandmother, immediately spoke up as she was afraid that the little girl would take her baby grandson away!

Charlie Barlow also said, “You must be Jasper. William was at your house for a while, but he has returned to his own home now, so he can’t go back to Emerald City with you.”

However, Jasper seemed not to hear them as her almond-shaped eyes were still looking straight at William. A

moment later, she heard him say, “I’m sorry. I’m… not going back with you.”

Her eyes instantly turned red as she looked down.

She knew he… would not go back with her.

“I… know you have grandparents and parents now, so you… won’t go back with me. I know that… but… I’m still sad. I want to sleep and play the piano with you. And I want to tell you so many stories.”

However, come to think about it, she would have refused to leave her parents and brothers too.

She understood it, but she still felt upset.

“Don’t cry. William has found his own home. You should be happy for him,” said Grace as she cradled her daughter in her arms and wiped the tears from her daughter’s eyes.

Jasper pouted, but she was not happy at all. The thought of not being able to see William every day upset her.

Grace turned her head and looked at William. “William, you were wronged when you were with the Reed family. I’m very sorry about that. I’m sorry.”

William shook his head. “aunt Cummins, you don’t have to apologize.” He knew that aunt Cummins had been helping him look for evidence. Many people believed that he was a naughty child, but aunt Cummins was willing to ask him what had happened instead of believing right away that he did it.

“Alright, it’s very late now. Let’s go home first,” said Grace before taking her daughter’s hand. Jason took their son’s hand, and the four left the Barlow family’s living room.

However, Jasper looked at William reluctantly before leaving.

William looked blankly at Jasper as she left. Then, he looked down at the chocolate, apology card, and… the doll he found in the storeroom.

“I told you, how could our grandson have pushed someone down the stairs? Fortunately, the truth is out now. But they caused all this ruckus tonight just to apologize. I wonder how the Reed family educates their children!”

mumbled Chelsea. She was about to hug her precious grandson when William suddenly ran outside.

“Hey, William, where are you going?” Chelsea immediately shouted and ran out. Charlie Barlow and several servants followed them.

Philip Barlow stood in the same spot with a slight smile on his lips. He was not worried that his son would want to return to the Reed family.

After all, William carried the blood of the Barlow family. Since he had something he wanted, he knew the price he needed to pay.

William ran and caught up with the Reed family at the gate of the Barlow family’s house.

William called out, “Jasper, I… I don’t blame you! I want to be your best friend, a better friend than anyone else. It’s just that… I… I can’t leave my present home.”

It was only because by staying here could he stand beside her with his head held high and not be outdone by anyone.

He did not want to be looked down upon again and hear people say things like how he did not deserve to be the Little Young Lady’s friend.
