Grace said, âHeâs pretty good. Heâs smart, obedient, and doesnât mess around.â Children at this age were often naughty, but William had always been heart-wrenchingly quiet.
âThe boyâs close with Jasper, but heâs Lilyâs child, after all,â said Jason.
Grace froze slightly, âOur feud with Lily has nothing to do with children.â She did not want to involve the children in it.
Therefore, she had been deliberately downplaying it these days.
âYou might think he has nothing to do with it, but he doesnât necessarily think you had nothing to do with his motherâs death,â said Jason. He wanted to protect Grace and his children, so could not take the risk.
After a moment of reflection, Grace said, âAt least, I have a clear conscience and will treat William well.
But if he really has a grudge against the Reed family and me, then I wonât sit idly.â
âOr we could wait two years. When Jasper is no longer interested in him, weâll find an excuse to send him somewhere else,â said Jason 214 âJasper truly regards Willum as a friend. Theyâll only get closer and closerâ aid Grace.
âFriend?â Jason chuckled. âThey can never be friends.â
âButâ¦â
âAlright, I got it. As long as the child doesnât step out of line while heâs with the Reed family, I wonât do anything to a child, of course. Whatâs more, maybe someone will pick him up without me sending him away,â said Jason.
âWhat do you mean? Whoâs picking him up? The Atkinson family?â asked Grace.
âThat depends. I donât know whoâs going to pick him up yet,â said Jason. âDoes the Barlow family of Deer City have anything to do with this boy?
âEverythingâs still up in the air!
Lina had a phone call with Grace and found out that she and Jason had been discharged from the hospital, so she was relieved.
However, after finding out that her best friend had made a one-month deal with Hadwin Stephenson, Grace could not help asking, âli he still rejects you after a month, can you really get over him and go back to Emerald City?â
Lina replied, âYeah. When that happens, Iâll get over him even if I canât. Otherwise, Iâd just be causing him trouble if I continue harassing him. Itâs better to give him my blessing than to be annoying. But now, I want to fight for my happiness for once.â
Not for the baby but for herself.
âGood luck! Call me if you come across any trouble in J City!â
said Grace.
âOkay. Thank you, Grace,â said Lina. After ending the call, Lina put away her phone and looked at the dazzling cakes in front of her.
Each cake was beautiful.
She had done her homework online and knew that there was a famous cake shop in J City. It would be Hadwinâs birthday in three days. She also saw the news about his birthday party online and knew that he would hold a birthday party at a famous hotel in J City on his birthday.
She knew he would never invite her to the party.
