Chapter 2017 

“You’re thanking me?” Philip Barlow chuckled and stared at Jasper Reed. ‘She must be the one who’s making my son reluctant to leave the Reed family! 

“I don’t need you to thank me.” 

Looking at the man in front of her, Jasper found him a little familiar, but she had no idea it was because William looked somewhat similar to Philip Barlow. 

Philip Barlow looked at William. “I hope the next time you come looking for me will be the time you’re willing to leave the Reed family.”” 

Jasper was shocked as soon as he said that. She immediately pulled William behind her like a hen protecting her chick. However, she was only five years old and was as tall as William. 

“William wouldn’t want to leave my family! Who are you, Uncle?” Her sixth sense gave her a feeling that the uncle in front of her would steal William away. 

“I’m…” Philip Barlow was just about to speak when William suddenly exclaimed, “I’m not leaving!” 

Philip Barlow stared at William. Moments later he asked 

2/3 

Without saying anything else, Philip Barlow turned to leave. Jasper hugged and kissed William. “I knew you wouldn’t leave, William!” 

However, Mick Reed, who had been quietly staring at 

Philip Barlow’s leaving figure, seemed to be thinking about something. 

In the evening, Jasper came to William’s room with her small pillow and blanket to sleep in his bed. 

The Reed family was used to Jasper sleeping with William every night. 

“William, why did that uncle say that he wanted you to leave the Reed family the next time you look for him? Who’s that uncle? Do you know him?” asked Jasper Reed. 

Even though the man had left, uneasiness continued to envelop her. 

“I…” William clenched his teeth and looked at the pair of clear eyes in front of him. His words were on the tip of his tongue, but what he said was, “No, I don’t know him.” 

He did not want her to know that he had a father. He could 

not stay with the Reed family anymore if everyone found out that he had a father. 

3/3 

didn’t you say we’re friends and I have to stay here forever?” William’s voice stammered a little. 

“Yeah.” Jasper had a bright smile on her face. “We’re friends. William, you can just stay here forever! I’ll be nice to you!”
