“Alright, let’s go.” Weston led Fred into the car. He glanced toward the villa and smirked before getting into the car. Then, the car drove away from the Valor Residence. Meanwhile, Jackson received a call from the security guard at the villa’s entrance. “Mr. Valor, someone has picked up Fred.” “Good.” Jackson hung up the phone. Serenity, who was already asleep, asked groggily when she was woken up by the ringing phone, “Who is it? It’s so late already.” “Sorry, go back to sleep. The security guard at the entrance reported that Weston had picked up Fred,” Jackson said while tucking Serenity back to sleep. “What?” Serenity was wide awake now. “Fred left?” “Well, he called Weston in the middle of the night and asked him to pick him up.” Jackson easily discovered that as Fred had called Weston using the landline in the living room. He had then asked the servants to leave the gate open so that Fred could get out easily.“Why did Fred suddenly…” Serenity frowned. “Is
“Yes, he’s gone.” Micah was also surprised at the news. Although he knew that Fred would leave sooner or later, he didn’t expect it to be so sudden.Jacqueline jumped down from her chair and ran toward Fred’s room. Everything in the room was the same as yesterday. The quilt was neatly folded, and the room was tidy. The only thing that was missing was the doll on the headboard. That doll was one of Jacqueline’s favorites. She had given it to Fred when he first came to the Valor Residence. Jacqueline looked at the quiet room and thought of the words she had said to Fred in this room yesterday.She couldn’t believe that he was gone because Weston just came looking for him yesterday, and she suddenly burst into tears.Serenity and Jackson came to her side on time. As soon as Serenity saw her crying, she picked her up and comforted her in a soft voice, “Don’t cry. Fred went home with his Daddy. It’s a good thing for him. Fred has his own Daddy, he can’t live with us forever.” “
A faint smile appeared on Jackie’s face as she agreed with Micah’s idea, but then she was stumped. “How do we know where Fred's daddy has taken him? Mommy and Daddy definitely won't approve of us sneaking Fred back if we ask them to take us there.” “We’ll go by ourselves.” Micah reassured his sister, “I’ll find out where he is.” Jackie’s eyes glowed. “Thank you, Micah!” Then, she kissed him on the cheek. Micah touched his face, and he vowed to help Jackie. He liked it when Jackie trusted him. -Fred followed Weston back to the Stanton family in Lanford.The Stanton family was prestigious. Although they were wealthy, their birth rate was low. They only had a few members in the family, and it was a headache for them. When it came to Weston, he wasn’t even interested in dating anyone. In the beginning, George Stanton and Mia only wanted their son to get married and give birth to the next generation. However, their son had been harmed by someone and became infertile. It wa
At the end of the corridor, there was a piano room prepared for him. Fred lowered his eyes as if he had thought of something after looking at the piano. “What’s wrong? You don’t like this piano?” Mia asked. “Your daddy told me that you like to play the piano very much, and you play it wonderfully. He specially asked someone to prepare this piano room for you. If you don’t like this model, let’s go to the music store and pick another one. We’ll buy you any model that you like.” “No, it’s not that,” Fred lowered his head and said. The piano made him think of Jackie. He might have to play the piano alone in the future. He wondered if Jackie would miss him when he was gone or if she wouldn’t be bothered by it. “Well, I think Fred is a little tired. He has just gotten back. I’ll take him back to his room to rest,” Weston said. George and Mia immediately agreed. “Yeah, it’s time to take a rest. It has been a long ride for Fred. He must be tired.” Fred followed Weston back to hi
"What?" Wilson was surprised by Clara's last wish."I know you have no intention to undo it now, so just promise me, don't ever think of reversing it. Let everything that happened between us be gone and vanish into thin air," Clara said softly.Wilson might eventually break the hypnosis, maybe a few decades later. Even if they were to get back together, the time lost would not come back. The reversal would only give him more regret.Instead of that, Clara would rather Wilson stay like this forever. She would rather Wilson not love her.When the clock struck twelve, Clara finally signed the divorce papers. "Wilson, you're finally free." A corner of her mouth lifted, becoming a soft smile. She was glad she would no longer be a shackle to him.Wilson stared at Clara, feeling complicated. Her smile, it stung like mad!-After that, Clara returned to Solaria. Serenity was shocked to learn about her return and quickly rushed to the store. When she got there, she only saw Mrs. Wells
Fred was only a five-year-old kid. He was still so young. Looking at Serenity’s guilty face, Lisa knew what she was thinking about. “Well, it will be a good thing if we can prove Fred’s innocence. Don’t blame yourself. Haven't you been helping Fred to find evidence to prove his innocence? You should be happy now that you didn’t disappoint him.” “Yeah, I’m happy for Fred. He’s probably innocent. He didn’t push Yanny to harm him,” Serenity mumbled.The police’s test results were out very quickly. Yanny cooperated with the police, and they concluded that Yanny couldn’t hear it when the pellets were shot out. However, a child with sensitive ears could hear it. According to the police, the pellet would have hit Yanny from the place where he stood. Fred had wanted to push Yanny to a safe place, but Yanny had subconsciously dodged, so it made him fall down the stairs in the end.The test proved Fred’s innocence. Yanny looked guilty. “I’m sorry, Aunt Serene. It’s my fault that I didn
“Sob… Mommy, what should I do now? I misunderstood him! I don’t want him to hate me! I want to meet him. I want to apologize to him!” Jackie couldn’t stop crying. Serenity gently embraced her daughter and consoled her, “It’s okay. Don’t cry. Fred isn’t that petty. He’ll forgive you if you sincerely apologize to him.” “I will apologize to him very, very, very sincerely…” Jacquline nodded while crying. “Well, I will bring you to Lanford to meet Fred in a few days, and you'll apologize to him, okay?” Serenity asked. “Alright,” Jackie quickly agreed and added, “Does it mean I still have to wait a few more days? Mommy, I want to see Fred soon. I want to apologize to him and make up with him.” “I need time to find out where Fred lives now and have to talk to his Daddy first before we can go meet him. I will make arrangements as soon as possible,” Serenity said.“I want to go too,” Micah suddenly said.Serenity was stunned. “You're going too?”“I also misunderstood Fred that day,
“I’m coming to Lanford with my wife and kids for the next couple of days to visit the Stanton family. You won't say no to that, right?” Jackson said. Weston paused momentarily before saying, “I wouldn’t want my son to go back to Solaria before he is familiar with Lanford.” “Don’t worry. He’s a Stanton, and it’s only right for him to remain in Lanford. I'm just bringing the kids over for a visit.” “Well, you guys are welcome to come over anytime.” Both men made arrangements and ended the call. Weston came out from his study and went to the piano room after looking at the time. He knew that Fred should be practicing in the piano room at this hour. He hadn’t expected Fred to play the piano so well. After listening to Fred's performance, even the renowned pianist in Lanford said that Fred was extremely gifted although he was a little weak in conveying his emotions because he was still young. However, the piano skills he had mastered were already far beyond those of his age.
