Chapter 2020
‘Mommy did a lot of bad things. If Jasper finds out…
He could not help trembling at the thought.
After an unknown amount of time, he heard voices outside the
room.
‘Are Jasper and the rest back?’
“Happy birthday, Jasper!” He silently wished her in his heart. He heard that her birthday party was lavish, and many
big shots attended it!
She wore a pink chiffon dress and a small tiara on her head when she went out today. She looked so beautiful, just
like a little princess.

In fact… he wanted to give her the present he had prepared for her at her birthday party, even if it was worthless.
Sometime later, his room door was suddenly pushed open. He saw a figure dressed in pink come in carrying a slice
of cake.
“Great, you’re still up! If you had fallen asleep. this cake
the cake in front of William.
“Here, this is my birthday cake. I saved a big slice for you. It’s delicious. Try it,” Jasper said with a smile.
William stared blankly at the cake in front of him. After a long time, he finally reached out his hand, took the cake
from her, and began to eat it one bite at a time.
The cake was creamy and not overly sweet. It was delicious.
Jasper was cupping her chin and smiling as she watched William eat the cake.
“I’ve talked to Mommy. Mommy says we’ll have a simpler party and not invite so many people next year. You must
join my birthday party next year!” said Jasper Reed.
William paused as he ate the cake. ‘Can… Can I really join her birthday party next year? Or will I not be able to
attend any of her birthday parties in the future just like this time?’
“It will be your birthday in January, William. I’m going to celebrate your birthday with you!” Jasper continued saying.
However, William suddenly felt as though the cake had become heavy.
‘My birthday… I don’t deserve to have my birthday celebrated in the Reed family, right? A child like me isn’t fit to
celebrate

birthday.”
“I see.” Jasper blinked her dark almond-shaped eyes as they seemed to be full of confusion. “Then… how about I
celebrate your birthday in secret? Then no one else will know.”
She spoke a little smugly as if they had another little secret.
William bit his lip a little. Moments later, he nodded his head.
After finishing the cake in his hand, William seemed to summon up his courage. “I… I got you a birthday present,
but it isn’t worth much. If you don’t like it…”
“I’ll love whatever you give me.” Her almond-shaped eyes were curved as she held her hands open in front of him,
waiting for him to place the present in them.
However, William took Jasper Reed’s hand and walked out of the room, all the way to the Reed family’s piano room.
It was where he and Jasper practiced piano at home.
