Chapter 3603: Chapter 3605

Jasper raised her hand and hugged William back.

“I’m here,” she said softly, “William, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. So, please don’t turn off your phone without saying anything again. Don’t make me worry!”

Upon hearing this, he held her tighter and after a while, he slowly uttered one word, “Okay.””

After coming down from the cemetery, Jasper said to William, “I’m hungry.”

“Then let’s find a place to eat nearby,” William replied.

As this area was near the cemetery and quite remote, and it was already late, there were limited options for places to eat nearby. Eventually, the two of them found a small shop with a simple decoration.

“If you don’t want to eat here, we can drive further and find more shops,” William suggested.

“No need, this place is fine!” Jasper said.

After they sat down, they ordered their food.

William took out his phone, which he had turned off earlier, and turned it back on. He saw that he had missed several calls and messages.

Jasper alone had called him five times!

“You called five times?” he asked her.

“I was worried about you. You suddenly turned off your phone and I couldn’t find you,” she explained.

“How did you find your way here later?” he asked.

“I first checked the school’s surveillance footage and found that you had left the campus. Then I asked Terrence to help me check the road surveillance, and finally found out that you had come to the cemetery,” she said.

He looked apologetic. “I made you go through all that trouble.”

“That’s why you can’t just turn off your phone again next time!” she said.

“I won’t do it again in the future,” he replied.

At that moment, his phone rang and he glanced at the caller ID, furrowing his brow slightly.

“Dad, what’s up?” he answered.

On the other end of the line, Philip said, “Are you okay?”

“You know?” William asked.

“You’re my son, of course I know about your situation,” Philip replied.

The father and son both understand what they are talking about, even though they haven’t mentioned any specific matter.

“Do you want me to help?” Philip asks.

“No, I can handle it myself.” If he can’t handle even this small matter, how can he take over the Barlow family business in the future?

His identity cannot be changed, and the fact that Lily is his mother cannot be changed either.

If he wants to take over the Barlow family enterprise in the future, he will only face more doubts and challenges.

In the future, if he were to take over the Barlow family business, he would only face more scrutiny!

“Okay, then you handle it yourself. Just remember, the Barlow family is your support no matter what,” said Philip.

William felt a slight pang in his nose. “I know.”

He was grateful that Philip was his father. Although they didn’t have overly intimate gestures between them, he knew that his father and the Barlow family were truly good to him.

After ending the call, he looked up and saw Jasper’s sparkling eyes looking at him.

“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“When you were on the phone with Uncle Barlow, you seemed like you were about to cry,” she said.

“Your nose even looked a little red.”

“You must have been mistaken,” he said, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

She propped her chin up with her hand and said, “If you really feel like crying, you can cry on my shoulder. It will always be there for you.”
