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.
The man brought Jackson and his family to a private room. After they entered the room, they realized that there was only Weston in that room. Fred was nowhere to be found. Jackie’s smile dropped immediately. “Where’s Fred?” She asked anxiously. “Fred has to attend a class today, so he can’t be here. He knows you guys are coming and has asked me to treat you well.” Weston smiled at Jackie.“Where’s the place? I’ll meet him there. I have something to give him in person, and I have to apologize to him! I know that he didn’t push Yanny down the stairs and he saved Yanny. Otherwise, Yanny would have gotten hit with an air gun,” Jackie said. Weston raised an eyebrow at Jackson and Serenity.Serenity had told Weston about what had happened. “It was a misunderstanding. Everyone misunderstood Fred previously. I also want to talk to him about this matter. My kids want to apologize to him too.” “It’s fine since the incident has been cleared up. I will tell Fred about your apologies
Jackie was overwhelmed, and Serenity embraced her heartbroken daughter. “Mr. Stanton, can you make a phone call to Fred? Let me talk to him. Perhaps he will be willing to see us,” Serenity said. “It’s not necessary to do that. Fred might be a child, but he is sensitive. He needs time to calm his emotions since he has suffered accusations this time. I’m afraid that it will cause him psychological problems if you guys force him. I don’t want that to happen to him. He’s my son, so I should protect him, right?” Weston refused. “But Mr. Stanton, we don’t have any malicious intentions. We just want to let him know the truth and apologize to him.” “I'll tell him the truth, and I'll also convey your apologies to him. I guess that should be enough,” Weston said and got up, “I ordered some of Lanford's specialties for you guys. You guys should try it. I’ll make a move first as I still have some work to do. You can talk to the manager of the restaurant if you guys want to stroll around Lanf
In the end, Jackson couldn’t refuse Jackie’s request. “Alright, but we’ll only stay for one night.” Jackson sighed and picked up his daughter. “We’ll fly back to Solaria tomorrow morning. Daddy and Mommy need to work, got it?” “Yes!” Jackie nodded, wrapped her arms around Jackson's neck, and kissed his cheek. Jackson was pleased by his daughter's affection, and he smiled brightly. Micah narrowed his eyes at Jackson’s double standard. Jackson would look disgusted when Micah used to kiss him. He had even told Micah that boys shouldn’t be so affectionate.However, Jackson liked it when Jackie kissed him. Micah had also seen Jackson kissing Serenity, but Jackson would be upset when Micah kissed her. He couldn’t understand what was wrong with his father. Jackson booked the best hotel in Lanford. They stayed in a two hundred square feet family suite that had several rooms. As the children were playing together, Serenity went to Jackson secretly. “It seems that you don’t want
