William listened quietly, and his eyes gradually became clear.
What he wants is not just to play the piano well to please Jasper, but also to stand by her side in the future, become a stronger presence, and get the person he desires.
So, for him, the piano is actually not the most important thing!
He has many more important things to accomplish.
âI understand,â said William.
âNow that you understand, go to bed. There are things to do tomorrow,â said Philip.
William nodded and followed his father out of the music room. But as he left, he glanced back at the piano, lost in thought.
Philip patted his sonâs shoulder. âWell, since it was your decision, donât regret it.â
William pursed his lips and looked up at his father with a determined gaze. âI wonât regret it!â
However, half a month later, William suddenly came to Emerald City on a weekend, claiming that Philip had business.
to attend to here and he came along.
As a father, Philip naturally wouldnât expose his sonâs lie. He came here for business, but he could have sent someone else to handle it. He didnât have to come in person.
The main reason for coming to Emerald City was that his son was thinking about Jasper. Thatâs why they came from Deer Capital.
At this moment, in the Reed familyâs mansion, Lawrence met William for the first time.
Although Jasper had shown her a photo of William before, it wasnât until she actually met him that she truly felt that sense. of oppression.
The other person was taller than him and was wearing clothes. that didnât look cheap. The servants respectfully called him Mr. Barlow.
When Jasper saw the other person, he immediately rushed. over and naturally hugged them.
Jasperâs happiness was so evident.
âWilliam, this is Lawrence,â Jasper introduced, then turned to Lawrence and said, âLawrence, this is William.â
Two boys were staring at each other, it was their first formal meeting and they were sizing each other up.
William appears calm, while Lawrence seems a bit uneasy.
âHello, Lawrence,â said William.
âYouâ¦hello, Mr. Barlow,â Lawrence stuttered in response.
âJasper has been saying that you play the piano very well. Can you play a piece for me to listen to?â
William asked.
âOf courseâ¦I can,â Lawrence quickly replied.
âThis is a gift I prepared for you when I came. I hope you like it,â William politely said, then took out a beautifully wrapped small box and handed it to Lawrence.
Lawrence was pleasantly surprised to receive a gift.
Jasperâs eyes lit up and she asked, âWhat about me, William? Did you bring me a gift?â
âOf course I did,â William said, taking out a butterfly hair clip and placing it in Jasperâs hand. âI saw this and thought it was pretty, so I wanted to give it to you.â
It was a beautiful butterfly hair clip with pink and purple crystals embedded in the wings and eyes. Jasperâs face immediately lit up with a big smile, clearly showing that she liked the gift.
