Chapter 93 He Found the Words Wrong
At 10am, Nora arrived at Panyan Villa.
She told Jasper, “Helena is very talented, she stayed up all night last night and got the entry done. She handed in her entry at eight in the morning before William was up, then left the creation room and went back to her hotel room for some rest.”
Jasper had something on his mind.
He didn’t follow the live stream and didn’t react much to it.
Nora thought he was angry and immediately explained, “I called William. I said that Helena was excellent, but being my daughter-in-law was still a bit short, and I didn’t agree with them being together. You know that William is obedient to me, and even if he’s emotional, he’ll be able to fine after a few days.”
Jasper came back to his senses and said, “What would you like to drink?”
Nora froze, “Is there coffee?”
She liked cappuccino and Jasper gave her a cappuccino with very rich milk bubbles. She sipped her coffee and he sat across from her with an expressionless face.
She was confused by his mood and put down her coffee in search of a topic, “Does Helena live here too?”
Jasper nodded, “I had a fight with her last time, she ran off and rented a flat outside. That flat was close to her best friend, so I bought that flat without her knowing.”
“You have just married and you argued?”
“She doesn’t listen to me.”
“I think she’s pretty well behaved.”
“Most of the time, occasionally she made mistakes.”
Nora laughed: “You are like your father in this respect, demanding perfection and unable to accept even the slightest flaw.
Your father was a dominant man when he was young, and your mother was exceptionally good-looking back then, and she drew attention everywhere she went.
The men just stare at your mother, and your father got jealous and made a scene every day.
Your mother said she couldn’t stop them from looking at her. Guess what your father said?”
Jasper blurted out, “You looked at them out of the corner of your eye.”
Nora was amused: “Yes, yes, that’s what he said at the time, and it made your mother so angry that she didn’t leave the house for almost a month before it was over. Did they tell you about it?”
Jasper shook his head: “No! That’s how I am, I can’t have sand in my eyes. Helena did not dream of me, and I was still angry with her and forced her to coax me. Auntie …… ” Where did that bracelet come from?
He wanted to ask, but as the words came to his lips, he felt it was hard.
Nora, however, misunderstood and thought he wanted to emphasize the importance of Helena: “I know, I know, you and your father are both infatuated. It’s lucky that William is your brother, if it was someone else, you would probably have taken off his arms and legs. Jasper, I know all that, you give me a few more days, I will definitely pull him back. I will definitely not let him ruin your relationship.”
Jasper invited Nora to the study, then took out William’s bracelet, then opened the box and took out another bracelet, “Auntie, look at this bracelet, what’s different about it?”
Nora put on her glasses.
Holding the bracelet for closer inspection, the more she observed, the more alarmed she became, her hands shivering uncontrollably: “Where did you get this bracelet from?”
Jasper couldn’t take his eyes off her, he saw every reaction she made and his heart was cold.
He walked over and squatted down in front of her, his large hand wrapping tightly around her small hand as if to transmit some kind of strength to her, “Auntie, there are only the two of us here today, and only the two of us know what happened today. Auntie, is William your real son?”
Nora’s body trembled, petrified.
At the same time, a thick wave of panic spread outwards from deep within her body. Her eyes flooded with mist, which in turn turned into two streams of clear tears flowing down her face. She moved her eyes dully and looked at him with a complicated gaze, “You called me here today to talk to me about this?”
“I ……”
“Jasper, you’re such a smart kid, why do you have to embarrass me? Can’t you just pretend it didn’t happen?”
“Auntie ……”
Nora lost control and suddenly let out a scream: “I am not your aunt, I don’t have a nephew like you. What do you want? What the hell do you want? I’m telling you, I won’t let you take William away, William is my son, he is my son.”
Jasper dared not stimulate her any further and waited for her to finish crying before he told her, “Do you know whose family this bracelet belongs to? It belongs to the Bates family. From the Bates family’s son to their great grandson, they all have one.”
Nora couldn’t believe what she was hearing: Who? The Bates family?
Jasper took out two bracelets of his own: “These are the bracelets I had grandpa go to the Bates family to get. These two bracelets were prepared by Zack for my baby. He doesn’t know that I am already married, and this is what he had prepared for me and Reeva’s baby. One of these two bracelets is a boy’s baby bracelet with the engraving Owen. One is a girl’s baby bracelet with Stella engraved on it.”
“Auntie, this bracelet is also considered a legacy of the Bates family.”
“From sons to great grandsons, they each have one.”
“The style of each is the same, from the material of the braided rope, from the method of weaving, from the material used and the workmanship of the silver. The heart of the flower above the lotus is not a wisp of smoke, but a capital letter of Bates.”
“Auntie, the only thing different about this bracelet is the inscription on the lotus base.”
“It’s engraved with their infant names.”
“Everyone’s got a different infant name.”
“Zack’s eldest son was in the army back then, and when news of his marriage came back, Zack made a point of sending him two bracelets. One for a baby boy and one for a baby girl.”
“If it was a boy, wear the boy’s. If it was a girl, wear the girl’s.”
“The engraving on bracelet of baby girl is Reeva.”
“Auntie, do you know what the engraving is on the boy’s bracelet?”
Nora’s lips trembled as she mentally recited those two words. Jasper said at the same time, “Alfie.”
Nora’s pupils dilated and the bracelet in her hand fell to the ground. Fearing that something might happen to her, Jasper dared not go on, as he picked the bracelet up and rubbed his fingertips over the flaw on it.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
After an unknown amount of time, he turned his head just in time to bump into Nora’s gaze: “I never suspected William’s identity because I happened to have memories when you were pregnant. If William hadn’t showed this bracelet, if Helena hadn’t shown me this bracelet, if I hadn’t sent the screenshot to my grandfather and he talked to me about these past events, how would I have known that William would be ……”
Nora suddenly interrupted him, “Don’t tell anyone, you mustn’t tell them. Jasper, I beg you, don’t tell them, okay?”
