Ch. 2151..2160

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2151-He did more than what was necessary today!

“Martin Weiss, how can you still be so stupid after all these years?” he murmured to himself.

It was a long time before he started the car. He drove aimlessly on the streets of Emerald City. It was not until night fell and the moon was high in the sky that he realized he had driven to the store’s entrance again.

The door was closed, and only the light pouring from the windows showed that the occupants were still awake.

Martin Weiss got out of the car but did not walk to the store. Instead, he leaned against the door and stood there quietly.

When Kyla went to draw the curtains before going to bed, she happened to see Martin Weiss standing beside the car outside the window. She could not help freezing.

However, moments later, she drew the curtains and ignored the person outside the window.

It was better if she and Martin Weiss saw less of each other!

9 Kyla turned around, picked up the cream for bruises in the medical kit, undressed her son, and applied the cream on her son.

2/3 Nelson had a lot of bruises on his small frame from his training recently.

He was getting a lot more bruises compared to when he went to learn taekwondo.

Every time she saw the bruises on her son, Kyla could not help but advise her son to give up and switch back to taekwondo. It could strengthen his body too.

However, Nelson insisted on learning what he was currently learning despite the number of injuries he got.

“Mommy, the coach says I’m more agile than before. When I’m stronger, I’ll be able to protect you and my sister!” said Nelson Corbyn.

Kyla could not help smiling. “How do you know that I’m carrying a girl? What if it’s a boy?” “If it’s a boy, I’ll protect him too. But I’ll teach him kung fu and make him strong as well,” replied Nelson Corbyn. Then, he looked carefully at Kyla’s belly. “But I still think you’re carrying a girl.” Kyla laughed. Speaking of which, she had hoped for a son and a daughter before!

“By the way, Mommy, when am I going to see Aunt Lina and her baby?” Nelson Corbyn had wanted to see the baby since learning that Lina had given birth.

3/3 However, Lina had been in a coma in the hospital carlier. Kyla did not tell the little one about it. She just told him Aunt Lina and the baby needed to rest quietly and that it was inconvenient for so many people to visit them in the hospital. They could only go there after some time.

“I’ll take you to see Aunt Lina and the baby in a few days. Aunt Lina will be happy to see you,” said Kyla.

Nelson Corbyn replied, “Okay, I’ll protect Tina and be a good brother to her too!” After applying the medicine on her son, Kyla dressed him in his pajamas, covered him with a blanket, and lay down herself.

At night, a layer of thin sweat broke out on Kyla’s forehead. Her brows furrowed tighter as she muttered something. Her head gradually moved from left to right as if she was trying to get out of something.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2152-“Ah!” She opened her eyes suddenly as she sat up. Then, she realized that she had a nightmare!

In the dream, she experienced the moment when Martin Weiss took her to the operating room. However, Martin Weiss did not stop the operation but insisted on making her go through with it. The anesthesia needle went into her body. She wanted to struggle and escape, but her body could not move no matter what… Fortunately… it was just a dream!

Kyla gasped and looked at her son sleeping next to her. Nelson was still sleeping soundly, undisturbed by her.

She got up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, only to see Martin Weiss still leaning against the car from the kitchen window.

His posture was the same as earlier.

However, hours had passed since then!

Kyla held the cup tightly in her hand. After a long time, she finally put it down and walked toward the door.

When she opened the door, Martin Weiss seemed to hear her as he suddenly raised his head and looked toward the door. The 2/3 next moment, he caught sight of her figure.

Martin Weiss’s eyes somehow heated up.

He thought she would not look his way again even if she saw him standing outside, but she came out.

Kyla walked toward Martin Weiss step by step but stopped when she was three steps away from him.

Martin Weiss took a step forward, and Kyla took one step backward.

“Don’t move. Just keep it at this distance!” said Kyla.

Gloom flashed across Martin Weiss’s eyes. He stopped moving. “Okay, I won’t move!” “What are you doing standing here in the middle of the night?” asked Kyla.

Martin Weiss muttered, “I… I didn’t know where to go. I ended up here without knowing it. I did a lot of thinking as I stood here. Maybe you’re right. All this time, I’ve only been thinking about my feelings and not yours. I domineeringly decided everything without thinking about how much this decision would hurt you.” He looked at her with pleading eyes. “Kyla, will you forgive me? I know how ridiculous it is for me to ask you for forgiveness right now, but I just… I just love you too much to lose you!” 3/3 Even the mere thought of it made him tremble with fear.

Kyla bit her lip. After a long time, she said, “Martin Weiss, I don’t think we’re suitable for each other. It’s the same as before. You didn’t force me to get the abortion in the end, so I can forgive you since you want me to. But I hope we’ll stop getting involved with each other from now on. I don’t want to… see you unless necessary.” Martin Weiss felt as if he had been punched hard in his heart. It hurt so much. “Do you hate me that much? Even meeting…” He tried to move toward her again.

However, she backed away as soon as he approached her. “Don’t come over, Martin Weiss. I really don’t want to see you. You know what? I just had another nightmare. I dreamed about what happened today. I dreamed about being pressed down on the operating table and being forced to undergo an operation. You’re not me, and you’ll never know how terrifying it is!” His face was gloomy as he looked at the distance between them.

They were only three steps away from each other, but it seemed like a chasm. It was a distance he could never cross.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2153-“Martin Weiss, enough is enough, so let’s leave it at that. Just let me go, okay?” murmured Kyla. She loved and hated the man before her. It eventually became a complicated feeling, and she did not know how to face him.

With that said, Kyla turned to return home and closed the door.

Martin Weiss stood outside alone as if only a soulless body was left.

Lina’s health recovered quickly ever since she woke up. She could already get out of bed slowly the next day, and she looked perfectly normal by the fifth day.

Due to her health and the medications she had to take, she could not feed the baby. Therefore, she had no more breast milk. Lina somewhat regretted it.

However, at least she and the baby were alive.

Lina beamed as she held her daughter in the ward. Though the baby was skinny and looked like a little monkey after being born prematurely, Lina found her baby beautiful.

Especially those eyes that looked like Hadwin Stephenson’s. They would probably look so stunning that she would look like Helen of Troy after she grew up.

2/3 Lina immediately denied it and said to herself, “Bah! She’ll look like Aphrodite!’ “You keep smiling foolishly as you look at our daughter. Others will think you’re possessed,” teased Grace.

“Hehe! My daughter’s my savior. I have to take good care of her,” said Lina as she could not help kissing the baby’s face again. “I keep having a feeling that my baby’s special. She charmed the mysterious boy from the Hunter family when she was still in my belly. Would they have a fairy-tale-like love story in the future?” Grace could not help but be impressed with her best friend’s imagination. However, thanks to her best friend’s optimism, she did not dwell on it. If it were someone else, they would be crying their eyes out about the engagement every day.

“How do you know that your daughter charmed that boy?” asked Grace.

Lina said, “Isn’t that what happens in novels and movies? The child has good looks too. Few boys are that good-looking. As long as he doesn’t turn out ugly, it won’t be difficult for my daughter to fall in love with him. I just don’t know how mysterious the Hunter family is. Do they have a lot of family rules? It’ll seem troublesome if they do!” Grace chuckled. “Don’t get too far ahead of yourself. We don’t know what will happen in the future. But if Tina really doesn’t 3/3 like the boy from the Hunter family, we’ll find a way to break off the engagement. We’ll find a way no matter what.” “But it isn’t easy to find one who is better-looking than that boy,” said Lina.

Grace was speechless. “Do you think looks will matter to Tina as much as they matter to you?” “Maybe.” The two women chatted and laughed. “Oh yes, you’re getting discharged tomorrow, aren’t you?” “Yeah, I’m bored to death in the hospital. I’m finally getting discharged!” Lina’s expression looked like she was liberated.

“How about I bring the kids to your place this weekend? Jasper keeps asking about meeting the baby, said Grace.

Lina said, “Sure, Kyla also said she would bring Nelson to my place this weekend. We can get together. Hehe! Oh yes. You don’t have to come over and help when I discharge from the hospital tomorrow. My parents and Hadwin will be around tomorrow. It’ll be chaotic if there are too many people around.” “Okay, got it. Just focus on your confinement! I’ll see you this weekend!” Grace said with a smile.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2154-By the end of the week, Grace brought the triplets, William, and Veronica Barlow-a total of five children- to Lina’s place. Lina looked at the five children and could not help saying to her best friend with a smile. “With all these kids out here at once, people will think you run a kindergarten.” Grace looked at the row of children standing behind her and smiled. She did seem like she ran a kindergarten.

“Grace, there you are!” said Kyla as she stepped forward.

“Kyla. Hey, where’s Nelson?” Grace saw no sign of Nelson.

“He’s on the second floor looking at Tina. He’ll be down in a minute,” said Kyla.

Sure enough, Nelson Corbyn soon came down from the stairway.

When Jasper saw Nelson Corbyn, she immediately ran to Nelson with enthusiasm. After Nelson Corbyn walked down the stairs, she hugged Nelson Corbyn and shouted enthusiastically.

“Nelson!” Nelson Corbyn naturally picked Jasper up. Although he was only nine years old, he had grown stronger from his training, recently. He did not feel tired even when he picked Jasper up.

2/3 “Hehe!” Jasper wrapped her arms around Nelson’s neck as she giggled and kissed him on his face to show affection.

The little one liked to show affection to people she liked by kissing them.

Of course, now that the children were older, Grace had also taught her daughter that kissing was for family and friends-not outsiders.

However, Jasper clearly classified Nelson Corbyn as her family and friend.

The nine-year-old Nelson Corbyn had a better understanding of gender awareness. He instantly blushed when Jasper kissed him.

“Nelson, why are you blushing?” Jasper looked at Nelson Corbyn in confusion. Her eyes moved. Then, she kissed Nelson Corbyn’s cheek several times as if she had discovered a secret.

Nelson Corbyn’s face turned even redder.

“Mommy, Nelson’s face is so red!” Jasper turned her head and said to Grace.

Grace could not help laughing. Lina and Kyla also laughed, so Nelson Corbyn blushed even more. Meanwhile, Jasper laughed even more. Melodious laughter filled the room.

The other children did not seem to have much of a reaction, except for William, who looked down when he saw Jasper 3/3 Reed’s smile and Nelson Corbyn’s flushed cheeks.

‘Does Jasper… like Nelson Corbyn? Jasper looks so happy every time she sees Nelson Corbyn.

‘Jasper keeps talking about how good Nelson is. It’s as if he has no flaws.

‘If there’s a flaw, it’s only that Nelson Corbyn can’t hear and he needs hearing aids. Hearing aids can help him hear but not experience music, which became Jasper’s regret as well.

‘She once said, ‘I hope Nelson can hear how amazing music sounds like for ordinary people one day. I’ll play something great for Nelson. Maybe he’ll think it sounds good!”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2155-Besides, after finding out yesterday that she would see Nelson Corbyn today, Jasper kept talking about Nelson the entire night. She also took out her beautiful dress and asked him if she looked good in it and whether Nelson would like it, which made William feel uncomfortable:

He did not want her to care so much about Nelson.

He only wished that she would care about him alone!

Just then, Nelson Corbyn put Jasper down and politely walked forward to say hello to Grace and the other children.

However, when he greeted William, William turned his head away and did not respond to Nelson Corbyn.

Nelson Corbyn did not take it to heart either. He smiled and said to Lina, “Aunt Lina, why don’t I take them to see Tina?” “Sure,” said Lina. She had confinement nannies and maids looking after her daughter, so she did not have to worry much.

Therefore, Nelson Corbyn led the group of children up the stairs.

Lina looked at the impressive team and could not help laughing while saying, “Once Kyla’s baby is born, the group of children will get bigger. There’ll be eight children in total. How interesting it’ll be when that time comes!” 2/3 “By the way, Kyla, how did your consultation go?” Grace asked with concern. Lina also quickly pricked up her ears.

Kyla then told the two the results of her consultation.

“Are you going to continue the pregnancy and deliver the baby through C-section?” asked Grace.

“Yeah,” answered Kyla.

“Did Martin Weiss say anything?” “He… didn’t have any comments,” Kyla said after a moment’s hesitation. She did not want to tell her two best friends about how she was forced onto the operating table. After all, nothing happened in the end, and… she also did not want to worry her two best friends.

“We just want you to be safe!” said Grace.

Lina said, “Yeah, don’t be like me. I almost died. Hadwin and I talked about having another baby yesterday, but he refuses to let me have any more. I think he’s a little paranoid after having this one.” “Has Hadwin Stephenson found out anything regarding the matter of you getting injected with poison when you were delivering the baby?” Grace recalled this and asked, “Let me know if you’re lacking manpower for this investigation. Jay has several experts in this area.” 3/3 “Thanks, but Hadwin already has some leads. We only know who injected me, and we don’t know who’s behind this. We don’t want to alert them, so we plan to find a way to lure the culprit out,” said Lina.

Grace thought about it and agreed. After all, they could only solve this issue by finding the culprit.

“By the way, Kyla, be careful when you give birth. Ask Martin Weiss to check everyone so that no one can do anything in secret.” Lina reminded her.

Grace said, “Don’t worry. After witnessing what has happened to you, Martin Weiss won’t dare to be careless. I’m afraid he’ll even look into the doctors and nurses’ ancestors.” Kyla forced a smile. With what had just happened to her and Martin Weiss, she would probably… be alone when she gave birth.

On the second floor, a group of children surrounded the crib to watch Tina Stephenson as she slept soundly.

All newborn babies less than a month old did nothing much besides eating and sleeping. Tina Stephenson was no exception.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2156-Mick Reed frowned as if he was pondering something. His mother had told him Aunt Lina’s newborn baby was beautiful, but he did not find her very beautiful at all.

Mick Reed looked at his sister. ‘Um… Jasper looks a lot better.’ Jasper stared at the baby curiously before carefully touching the baby’s face. She thought that the baby was tiny, just like some of her bigger dolls.

William was not paying attention to the baby at all. All his attention was on Jasper Reed.

“How cute!” Veronica Barlow mumbled as she looked at the baby.

She had nothing to do with the Stephenson family, but aunt Cummins wanted to bring Mason here, and Mason insisted on bringing her. Hence, she came to have a look too.

Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw the baby. She thought the tiny baby felt soft and looked cute.

Just then, as if feeling the gazes of so many people, the baby opened her eyes and began to cry.

The confinement nanny nearby immediately held the baby and coaxed her. Soon, the baby stopped crying, and her dark eyes seemed to be looking around for something.

2/3 Veronica Barlow found the baby utterly cute and could not help asking, “May I hold her?” The confinement nanny looked at Veronica Barlow. She was already seven or eight years old and could hold a baby, so she carefully handed the baby to Veronica Barlow while telling her how to carry Tina Stephenson. After Veronica Barlow took over the baby, the confinement nanny maintained a protective gesture so that she could catch the baby in time in case Veronica Barlow lost her grip and dropped Tina Stephenson.

However, Veronica Barlow seemed pretty skillful at carrying the baby.

“You’re good at carrying the baby,” praised Nelson Corbyn.

“Hehe, it’s probably because I used to carry Mason a lot. When Mason first joined my family, I used to carry him every night,” said Veronica Barlow. Mason was already three years old at that time, and she was only five years old. Hence, it was much more difficult to hold Mason.

It was relatively easy for her to carry the baby now.

Mason seemed upset when he saw Veronica Barlow looking so happy carrying the baby. “Sis, I want to go to the back garden to play!” said Mason.

“Oh, now?” asked Veronica Barlow.

Chapter 2156 “Now,” Mason said firmly.

3/3 Veronica Barlow could only return the baby to the confinement nanny, and Mason swiftly dragged her out of the room.

Jasper was eager to hold the baby. “I want to carry Tina too!” The confinement nanny hesitated a little. “You’re too small. Can you carry her?” “Yes! I won’t drop Tina,” Jasper said affirmatively.

Nelson Corbyn thought about it and said, “Let Jasper sit on the couch. It’s safer for her to carry Tina that way.” The confinement nanny accepted the suggestion after thinking it over, so she asked Jasper to sit on the couch before carefully handing the baby in her arms to Jasper Reed.

Nelson Corbyn and Mick Reed sat on either side of Jasper Reed. Nelson Corbyn reminded her now and then, “Keep your arms steady. Yes, that’s it. Your arm should support the baby’s head. The baby will feel comfortable if you hold her well…” Just then, the baby’s head turned before she gave a yawn.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2157-As if she had discovered something new, Jasper said with a smile, “The baby’s yawning. Haha, she looks so cute when she yawns! Nelson, did you see the baby yawn just now?” “Yes,” Mick Reed replied lazily.

Nelson Corbyn said, “It seems Tina’s comfortable.” Tina, hurry and grow up. I have a lot of beautiful dolls. I’ll give you some to play with when the time comes!” Jasper appeared like a big sister.

Tina Stephenson seemed to understand this. The corners of her lips curved as if she was smiling.

Therefore, Jasper became even more excited. “Look, Nelson. Tina’s smiling at me. Does she like me too?” “Yeah, she must really like you,” Nelson Corbyn said gently.

William felt like a fifth wheel as he watched the scene unfold.

He looked down and slowly walked out of the room.

He should not have come here in the first place. He had nothing to do with this place.

William went out to the corridor. When he passed the window, he happened to see Veronica Barlow and Mason talking about something in the back garden. After a while, Veronica Barlow took the initiative to embrace Mason.

William watched the scene on tiptoes and felt a little disappointed. If only Jasper could hug him like that too.

He looked down and squatted not far from the stairway, where the people downstairs would not see him. aunt Cummins and the rest would not ask him why he had left the room alone.

In the garden, Veronica Barlow was embracing Mason as she kept saying, “Alright, you’re cuter than Tina. I like you the most, Mason. I will hug you every day from now on, okay?” Mason had dragged her to the garden. Unexpectedly, Mason kept asking her whether he or Tina Stephenson was cuter.

After that, he even insisted that she hug him.

Veronica Barlow thought Mason was a little petty. She just wanted to hug Tina because she thought she was cute, but he looked unhappy.

“Are you going to hold me like Tina?” he asked.

“You’re too big for me to hold you like that!” said Veronica Barlow. Besides, she was not strong enough to hold him like that!

“Then… don’t carry her again. I don’t like it,” said Mason.

“Don’t you like her? Tina’s so cute,” Veronica Barlow said in confusion.

3/4 Mason nodded. He disliked Tina Stephenson because she liked Tina Stephenson. “You’re my sister. Didn’t you say you like me the most?” “Uh, I do like you the most, but I can like other people too,” muttered Veronica Barlow.

Looking at Mason’s unhappy face, she reluctantly said, “Okay, okay, I won’t carry Tina Stephenson anymore.” She probably would not have the chance to come here again anyway.

‘I can’t carry the baby if I don’t see her!’ Veronica Barlow thought to herself.

Mason finally smiled and asked Veronica Barlow to hug him. again.

“But you’re a boy, Mason. You can’t be so petty. Though I like you the most, I’ll like someone else too someday,” Veronica Barlow could not help saying.

For example, her best friend Kay had secretly told her that she had a boyfriend. Kay’s boyfriend was the gym class representative from the next class, and he was good at playing basketball. Kay also said that her boyfriend would buy her soda every day, and he was good to her.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2158-She was curious and envious when Kay talked about her boyfriend.

‘Um, how would it feel to have a boyfriend? Would it be like what I see on TV?’ Although she was only in the first grade, she knew what a boyfriend was. After all, it was all on TV.

“Then don’t like someone else,” Mason’s smile faded again as he spoke sulkily.

“How is that possible?” Veronica Barlow rejected right away, not noticing Mason’s eyes dimming slowly!

William squatted in the corridor for an unknown length of time.

‘Even though I left the room, no one noticed. Even… Jasper didn’t come out looking for me.

‘Is it because I’m nobody important?

‘Maybe Jasper only finds me interesting because I play the piano and a lot of kids can’t play the piano or keep up with her. That’s why she wanted to play with me.’ ‘But if she meets someone she likes better, I’ll be cast aside like now.

2/3 ‘Will it be like what the servants’ children said? If she loses interest in me or gets bored with my piano playing, she’ll get rid of me?’ As he was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. It was Nelson Corbyn!

William looked blankly as Nelson Corbyn walked over. He looked gentle and spoke softly, just like the prince in Jasper’s storybooks.

Nelson Corbyn noticed William too. He walked over and asked, “William, what are you doing here?” “N-Nothing,” William said stiffly. He did not like Nelson Corbyn, but for some reason, he did not hate him either.

“Aren’t you going in to see the baby?” Nelson Corbyn continued asking.

William looked down and ignored him.

Nelson Corbyn smiled and said nothing more. He turned and walked toward the stairway nearby.

Just then, William’s ears twitched as he raised his head as if he had heard something. Then, he darted toward Nelson Corbyn.

The next moment, Nelson Corbyn dodged instinctively. However, he lost his footing and fell down the stairs.

3/3 Thump!

Fortunately, Nelson Corbyn grabbed the handrail of the stairs. Even so, he had fallen several steps!

There was a cry of surprise downstairs. Kyla hurried over and helped her son get up. “Nelson, what came over you? How did you fall down the stairs? Are you okay? Does it hurt?” Nelson Corbyn clenched his teeth in pain for a long time before catching his breath and saying to Kyla, “Mom, I’m fine. I’m okay.” Grace also rushed over. “I think you’d better go to the hospital to check it out. A fall like that might be serious. Some wounds might not be obvious, but it might be too late when there’s something wrong!” Kyla replied in acknowledgment. She was about to take her son downstairs and go to the hospital when a childlike voice suddenly rang out.

“William, why did you push Nelson downstairs?” All eyes instantly turned to the top of the stairs.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2159-They only saw William standing at the top of the stairs, while Jasper was staring at him with anger and shock. It was obvious that she had witnessed something.

Grace hurried to her daughter’s side. “Jasper, what happened?” Jasper said, “Mommy, I saw William push Nelson downstairs! I wasn’t the only one who saw it but Brother did too!” She could not understand why William pushed Nelson. If Nelson had not grabbed the handrail in time, he would have taken a bad fall.

She had once seen a TV show about a woman who died after being pushed down a flight of stairs.

Although her mother told her that everything in TV shows was fake, she still had nightmares about it for a long time.

Grace looked at Mick Reed. “Mick, is what Jasper said true?” Mick Reed nodded. “Jasper and I saw William suddenly rushing out and pushing Nelson when he was going down the stairs.” All eyes were instantly on William.

William’s tiny body winced a little.

2/3 “William, tell me why you did that,” Grace said as she looked at William sternly.

William’s dark eyes looked at Grace, Nelson Corbyn, and finally Jasper Reed.

There was more fury than confusion on Jasper Reed’s face. William opened his mouth but suddenly had no idea what to say. He tried to push Nelson Corbyn away because he heard something shooting toward Nelson Corbyn.

However, no one would believe him if he said that, would they?

It was because he did not have any proof!

William looked down and said nothing more.

Grace frowned, turned to look at Kyla, and said, “Kyla, I’m sorry that Nelson’s hurt. Why don’t I ask the driver to take you and Nelson to the hospital first?” “Yes… Yes, let’s go to the hospital first,” Lina said hurriedly.

Kyla nodded and left with Nelson Corbyn. Grace said to Lina, “Lina, I’ll take the kids back first. I’ll visit you some other day.” “Sure!” answered Lina. Then, she looked at William, who had his head down. “William is still young. Take your time educating him. It should be fine.” ‘I hope so.’ She hoped.

3/3 Lina did not believe that children with criminal parents would also be criminals just because they shared the same genes.

However, William pushing Nelson down the stairs reminded her of Lily. Her heart could not help shuddering at that.

“The child was with Lily for five years. He’s not indifferent to human life because of Lily, is he?’ “Got it,” answered Grace before leaving with the children.

She first sent Mason and Veronica Barlow back to the He family’s house before returning to the Reed family’s house with the three children.

Jasper was furious and ignored William along the way.

William kept his head down, his little face pale and panicked.

Back in Reed Residence, Grace asked the butler, Uncle Kwan, to look after her son and daughter. Then, she took William’s hand and went to the study with him.

“William, tell me why you pushed Nelson down the stairs today,” Grace said, William kept his mouth tightly shut and said nothing. All he could think about was how angry Jasper had looked just now.

1/4

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 2160-“Tell me if you have an explanation. You wouldn’t push others for nothing, would you?” Grace continued saying.

“You won’t believe me even if I tell you!” said William.

“How do you know I won’t believe you if you don’t tell me?” Grace asked in reply. “Did you forget I’m a lawyer? If you have an explanation for it or you’re wronged, I’ll clear your name. But if you deliberately pushed Nelson down the stairs, I’ll have to punish you!” William was silent for a moment before whispering, “I heard a sound heading toward Nelson Corbyn, so I tried to push him away.” “A sound? What do you mean?” asked Grace.

“There was a sound.” William was too young to describe what he had heard, so that was all he could explain.

Grace pondered for a moment. “Was there nothing else but a sound? You have to show me proof if you want to convince me that you didn’t mean to push Nelson. How can I find proof with only a sound?” William looked down again. Yes, he had no proof, so what did it matter even if he told her? It did not make any difference anyway.

After that, William refused to say anything more no matter how much Grace asked.

Seeing this, Grace did not ask further but asked the child to go back to his room first. She told him to come look for her if he recalled anything.

Watching the little one walk out of the room with his head hung low, Grace felt a little heavy-hearted.

Fortunately, Nelson had grabbed the handrail in time. Otherwise, she would not know how to face Kyla. After all, she was the one who brought William there.

‘But… a sound? I don’t think William is lying to me.’ Besides, William had always been obedient during his time in Reed Residence.

She could sense that the boy was sensitive and had low self-esteem. She often put him together with Jasper and Mick, hoping he could become more cheerful.

Perhaps she had to go to Lina’s place again to investigate and see what the sound was.

William had just walked out of the study when he saw Jasper standing there angrily. She glared at him and said, “Why did you push Nelson down the stairs? Nelson’s such a nice boy. He could have died when you pushed him down the stairs like that!” Children at this age already had an idea of what life and death were.

Her anger stung him. She had never been so angry with him before, and it was because of Nelson Corbyn.

“I… I wasn’t trying to push him down the stairs,” he muttered. He was only trying to push Nelson Corbyn away because of the sound.

Furious that he would not admit it, she snapped. “I saw it with my own eyes! Let’s go to the hospital. You’ll apologize to Nelson!” ‘Apologize? Why should I apologize? I didn’t mean to push Nelson Corbyn down the stairs at all, but to apologize would be to admit that I did it on purpose!’ “I… I’m not apologizing,” he said.

She got even angrier when he said so. “Why won’t you apologize?” “Why should I apologize?” he asked.

“Because you pushed Nelson!” “I didn’t mean to push him!” “But you did!” 4/4 The two children argued in the corridor while many of the maids stood a distance away.
