However, he could not help saying the word âokayâ when his eyes met those sparkly ones!
Lilyâs parents returned to Emerald City to handle her funeral arrangements. Harold Atkinson and his wife did not want to take custody of their grandson, William. After all, they were not doing well right now. With their age, it was going to be even harder with a child around.
Therefore, even though they knew the child was now living with the Reed family, they did not mention taking him back.
Jason did not mention William to Harold Atkinson and his wife either.
It was as if William did not exist.
Sean was still in the hospital. Although he survived, he still suffered from various side effects from the treatment and was in great pain every day.
When he learned of Lilyâs death, he simply squeezed three words. from between his teeth. âShe deserved it!â
All he had left for Lily, the woman he once loved, was hatred.
His whole life was ruined at the hands of Lily. He only agreed to commit that crime for his son!
However, it turned out that the child was not related to him at all.
Lily⦠really fooled him this time!
The once-popular celebrity did not even get a funeral. Harold Atkinson and his wife had their daughterâs body hastily cremated before leaving Emerald City.
Standing alone in front of the gate of Reed Residence, William heard from the maidsâ children that his grandparents had come to Emerald City and taken away his motherâs ashes. However, they never even visited him.
âEven your grandparents donât want you!â
âDo you think youâll lead a better life in the future if you please Miss Jay? She wonât want you one day.â
âMiss Jay just doesnât know what your mommy did to Young Madam. Your mommy even kidnapped Young Master Ci and asked for a lot of money. How evil!â
Their words were still ringing in his ears.
He knew that Mommy had done something bad, and he also knew that he would have to leave the Reed family one day.
âWilliam, there you are. Iâve been looking for you for a long time. Master Big Beard taught me a new song just now. I played it once and itâs a beautiful tune. Listen to it!â Jasper rushed forward and grabbed Williamâs little arm to take him to the main house.
However, his little body did not move, and his feet remained on the same spot.
âWhatâs the matter?â She turned to look at him in confusion. She saw him standing by the iron gate.
âDo you want to go out?â
William bit his lower lip. He had wanted to go out earlier to go to his grandparents and ask them why they did not even visit him. Was it because his mother had done something bad, so it meant. he was going to do something bad in the future too?
However, it suddenly did not seem that important anymore when he saw Jasper in front of him.
âIâll tell Uncle Kwan to bring you out! Where do you want to go?â asked Jasper Reed.
William shook his head, âI donât want to go out.â
âWell, just tell me if you do. By the way, do you want to go to kindergarten? Why donât I tell Daddy and Mommy to let you go to kindergarten? Then we can spend more time together every day,â she said.
