âJasper thinks of William as her friend!â At least that was how she saw it. Some friends were for a lifetime!
âReally? Then letâs see if William is a friend or a toy,â he said.
Therefore, they had not come to a conclusion in the end.
Grace told her daughter not to go to Williamâs room to sleep but it was to no avail. Even if she watched her daughter fall asleep in her room, she would surely find her daughter in Williamâs room the next morning.
Therefore, Grace could only let things develop on their own for the time being! Fortunately, the children were only five years old, so she did not have to worry too much.
Mick Reed was still awake. He stared at Grace with those peach blossom eyes that were similar to Jasonâs.
âWhatâs the matter? Do you want me to read you a bedtime story before going to sleep, Mick?â asked Grace.
âDid you and Daddy have a fight?â the little one asked suddenly.
Grace froze. Then, she forced a smile. âWhat makes you think Daddy and I are fighting?â
âBecause Daddy said yesterday that he would come home early for dinner today, but I called Daddyâs phone and couldnât get through. Besides, you look unhappy, yet your pretend to be happy,â the little one analyzed and said.
Grace immediately felt embarrassed. A five-year-old child had seen through her.
âDaddy and I are fine. We just have different opinions. Donât worry, weâll make up,â said Grace as she rubbed her sonâs tiny head gently.
Mick Reed looked at Grace seriously. âAre you really going to make up?â
âYes,â she said.
âThen⦠letâs make a pinky promise.â The little one held out his pinky.
Grace froze, still remembering how she had made a pinky promise with Jay not long after meeting him.
âWho taught you to do this?â she could not help asking.
âDaddy. He says doing this means youâll keep your word, but Daddy forgot who taught him. Daddy says thereâs no going back once you lock your pinkies!â said Mick Reed.
Graceâs nose felt sore. Jay probably had not recovered his memory at that time, so he did not remember!
However, even though he had forgotten her at the time, he still remembered making pinky promises.
âOkay, letâs make a pinky promise.â Grace reached out and locked her pinky with her son. Then, she bumped their thumbs together. âIâll make up with Daddy. I promise!â
The little one smiled in satisfaction and obediently went back to bed. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Grace looked at her sonâs sleeping face, and her eyes fell on her hand that she used to make a pinky promise with her son just now.
âYeah, Iâll make up with Jay!â
However, she had no idea where he was right now, and his phone had been switched off since just now!
âThe place he might be⦠There are a few of the Reed familyâs mansions and Reed groupâs buildingâ¦â
Grace thought for a moment before getting up and going downstairs. She told Uncle Kwan, âUncle Kwan, Iâm going out to find Jay. Call me immediately if Jay comes back!â
âBut itâs so late nowâ¦â Uncle Kwan said with concern,
