If Lily were still alive and made him take on the Reed family, perhaps he would have agreed.
âSo when are you going to bring William back to Deer City, Mr. Barlow?â asked Jason.
âIâm afraid not now. The little one wishes to stay with the Reed family for a while longer. When he wants to go back to Deer City with me, Iâll come and take him back. As for Williamâs living expenses, Iâll send you a check shortly,â said Philip Barlow.
Jason raised his eyebrows. Since he wanted to pay for his son, there was no reason for him to say no.
After the conversation, the two men got back into their respective cars, which drove off in opposite directions.
Grace was shocked when Jason told her about this that night.
âWhat? William is Philip Barlowâs son? Are you sure?â The Barlow family of Deer City was influential in the country. However, according to various gossip news, it was a family with intense internal strife.
Philip Barlow was currently the head of the Barlow family and a famous bachelor in Deer City. He was 35 years old but never 2/3 Jason said, âPhilip Barlow admitted today that William is his son. He probably did a DNA test. But it seems that William doesnât want to leave with him, so he said heâll take William back to Deer City when he wants to leave.ââ
Grace froze and speculated, saying, âIs William unwilling to go because of Jasper?â
After all, the two children were very close. Jasper always went to Williamâs room to sleep every night.
She would always find her daughter in Williamâs room when she went to look for her in the morning.
Jason said with a half-smile, âMaybe. But heâll leave the Reed family and return to Deer City one day.â
âThatâs true. After all, Philip Barlow is his biological father. Theyâre father and son. The Barlow family is his real family,â said Grace.
Jason shook his head. âWilliam will leave the Barlow family not because of the father and son bond or family, but because heâll find that heâll never get what he wants if he doesnât return to the Barlow family.â
Grace could not help laughing. âWhat does he want? What can a child want? It can only be toys, food, or maybe more friends. But William doesnât seem to be the type to like to make friends.â
Jason only laughed and said nothing. Men like Philip Barlow probably be worried about keeping their son in someone elseâs home. It would not be long before he did something to make William understand the cruelty of reality.
However, if the boy did go back to Deer City, Jasper would be losing a toy.
While Jasperâs interest in William had not seemed to fade, Jason still did not want to keep him around his daughter. After all, Williamâs mother was Lily.
He would make William leave the Reed family in a few years even if the Barlow family never came for him.
âBut⦠the Barlow family⦠If the child returns to the Barlow family, what will happen in the future? What about Jasper?â
Jason secretly laughed at himself for overthinking. Even if the child could become the heir of the Barlow family in the future and hold authority in the Barlow family, he would not let the boy hurt his daughter.
