Seeing that William refused to apologize no matter what she said, Jasper snapped. âIf you donât apologize, I wonât play with you anymore. I donât want to be your friend.â
This was the biggest threat to children!
Williamâs face instantly paled.
He reached out to grab Jasper and tell her that he only tried to push Nelson Corbyn away because he heard a sound. He never touched Nelson Corbyn. Nelson Corbyn tried to dodge him, so he lost his footing and fell down the stairs.
His hands caught nothing but air.
They were empty!
At this moment, the maids around him looked at him with scorn, disgust, and disdain.
He winced a little as he slowly lowered his hand. He hung his head low as he pitifully returned to his room.
The room was so quiet.
He had never found the room so quiet before.
âIs Jasper gonna stop thinking of me as a friend? At the end of the day, Iâm just a toy. How could I be her friend⦠How could Iâ¦â
William cowered in the corner. Ilis entire body was curled up into a ball. âItâs so cold⦠I feel so coldâ¦â
When Jason came back in the evening, Grace told him what had happened at Linaâs place today.
Jason raised his eyebrows when he heard that William had pushed Nelson downstairs. âDid he really push him?â
âJasper and Mick saw it, so thatâs probably the case. Nelson didnât deny it either. I asked William afterward and he said he did push Nelson, but it was because he heard a sound heading toward Nelson,â said Grace.
âA sound?â
âHe couldnât tell me the details, so I decided to check out Linaâs place again. Iâll also have to go to Nelson and ask what exactly happened,â said Grace.
âIs Nelson okay?â asked Jason.
âI called Kyla and asked. Heâs okay so far, but some test results wonât come back until tomorrow,â said Grace. Then, she asked Jason a little hesitantly, âDo you think William pushed Nelson down the stairs on purpose?â
Jasonâs eyes glimmered slightly before he suddenly said, âJasper and Nelson are close, arenât they?â
âYes, why did you mention that all of a sudden?â
âWilliam likes Jasper very much too,â he said.
Grace paused for a moment before understanding what he meant. âNo way. Are you saying William pushed Nelson down the stairs because he was jealous that Jasperâs close to Nelson?â
Jason said, âAfter all, itâs hard to tell whatâs going on in oneâs mind, not to mention oneâs emotions.
Even adults have trouble controlling their emotions, let alone a child. William has always been with Lily.
Maybe he took after Lilyâs character.â
