âSo, do you want it or not?â Jasonâs voice rang out again.
âIâ¦â William shifted his lips, feeling like all the words were stuck in his throat.
âOf course William wants to find him too!â Jasper interrupted, then turned excitedly to William and said, âWilliam, when we find that boy, letâs listen to him play the piano together so you can understand what I mean by âflavorâ! And then we can play the piano together, itâll be so much fun!â
Jasperâs bright eyes sparkled like stars, and his hopeful expression made Williamâs uncomfortable feeling grow stronger, as if he would lose her if that boy was found.
But he couldnât bring himself to say no, because he didnât want to see her disappointed.
So he could only say, âUm, of courseâ¦I also hope we can find him.â
âI knew it!â Jasper raised his chin triumphantly and looked at his dad.
Jason smiled slightly, âThen Iâll find this boy and let him play the piano for Jasper and you all again.â
âThank you, Dad!â Jasper immediately showed a brilliant smile.
Grace looked at her husband disapprovingly and asked when the nanny took the children to another part of the banquet hall, âDo you really want to help Jasper find that boy?â
âWhy not? Since Jasper wants to hear that boy play the piano again, what harm is there in fulfilling our daughterâs small wish?â said Jason.
âBut William, heâ¦â
âHe just said it earlier, didnât he? He also hopes to find that boy,â Jason chuckled.
âYou clearly know that the child is not genuinely willing!â Grace said. She could even see through Williamâs thoughts, and she didnât believe he couldnât see it.
âYes, he wasnât really willing, but since he said those things to Jasper, he should bear the consequences, shouldnât he?â Jason said. âIf he canât handle this, then there will only be more things he canât handle in the future.â
Jasper nodded in agreement, âI understand what you mean. Itâs important to take responsibility for our words and actions, even if we donât really mean them.â
Jason smiled, âExactly. Itâs all about being accountable and honest with ourselves and others.â
Grace sighed, feeling sorry for William, even though his mother was Lily.
The culprit who once framed her and caused her to be imprisoned, but this child is innocent!
Moreover, although this child grew up with Lily, he did not develop any bad thoughts. In fact, he was once bullied because his mother was a criminal.
Grace knows what it feels like to be bullied, so she feels even more sorry for William.
âAlright, as for the childrenâs affairs, they will solve them on their own in the future. Right now, they are still young, we have to wait for them to be troubled by matters of the heart, at least for another 7-8 years.â Seeing the worried expression on his wifeâs face, Jason started to console her.
âGrace said, âI hope William and Jasper will be well in the future! As a mother, she realized that the older her children grew, the more she had endless worries.â
Jason didnât say much. For him, the only things that mattered were Grace and their children. As for William, he was actually insignificant to him.
At first, the Reed family took in William simply because Jasper liked him. To William, he was nothing more than Jasperâs toy.
So, naturally, he wouldnât care about what will happen to a toy in the future.
He just wants his daughter to be well and happy!
If Jasper ends up liking William in the future, then no matter what, he will help his daughter get him! If Jasper doesnât like William, then he naturally has a way to make William lose interest!
After the wedding reception, Philip and William returned to their hotel.
