Chapter 3024
If one day Jasper doesn’t want William to play the piano anymore, then William naturally won’t play it anymore
either.
Jason clearly understood this, so he didn’t say anything more.
On the day before leaving Emerald City, Philip took William to Lily’s grave.
Looking at the black and white photo of Lily Atkinson on the
tombstone, Philip felt like he was looking at a stranger.
He had no feelings for this woman, not even a hint of emotion, to
the point where he couldn’t even remember what she looked like.
But it was this woman who gave birth to his only offspring in his
entire life.
So his feelings towards Lily are a bit complicated.
Standing next to Philip, William’s young face was tense and his beautiful eyes were fixed on the tombstone in front

hands hung tightly at his sides, his small fists clenched, showing
the tension in his spirit at this moment.
“Offer incense to your mother. After all, she is the one who gave
birth to you,” said Philip.
“I don’t want to,” William refused, to him, the woman he should
call “mommy” never truly loved him.
She’s just using him, and even in the end, she’ll use his
background to deceive people.
Before, he had never felt warmth, so he didn’t really care.
But only after truly experiencing warmth, will one know the difference between sincerity and insincerity.
Upon hearing this, Philip didn’t force it and simply lit three incense sticks and placed them in front of Lily’s grave.
As the smoke rose, William suddenly said, “Is the child of a
criminal, with criminal blood in their body, going to become a
criminal in the future too?”
Philip looked at his son with surprise, “Why do you say that?”
“Someone said that to me before,” the little boy bit his lip with a
hint of embarrassment.
It was when he was with the Reed family before, the children of
the servants would mock and tease him, saying things like that to
his face.
This time, when he returned to the Reed family, his status was
different, and those who used to despise him would naturally not
say anything to his face.
But he accidentally overheard them talking behind his back,
saying that he was the child of a criminal and that even though
he was now a rich kid, he would definitely commit crimes in the future, just like his mother.
The child of a criminal… it was like an indelible mark on him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPhilip touched his son’s head and said, “Whether someone becomes a criminal is not determined by the blood in
their body, but by their own choices. If the child of a criminal were to become
a criminal, then everyone would have to trace their ancestors
back eighteen generations. It’s likely that even those who have
never become criminals cannot be found.” xo.com fast update
William blinked his eyes, as if he had never thought about this
before.
“You are my son, and I will do everything in my power, as well as
the Barlow family, to provide you with opportunities. However,
your future and the kind of person you become is ultimately up to you.” After a pause, Philip added, “Your mother’s
situation is in
the past. You are my son, William’s son, and you don’t need to feel inferior in front of anyone.”
The little one nodded his head.
