Chapter 88 William Was Also Born Prematurely?
Helena walked to the window and searched for the engraving in the light.
There were no inscriptions on the ‘baby Buddha’ side, nor could she find any on the lotus side.
A very small dot bulged from the lotus chassis, but instead of some engraving, it was a blemish!
Yes! Not an embellishment, not a pattern, just a little blemish!
Helena sent it to Jasper: [It’s a pity! If not for this flaw, the craftsmanship of this bracelet could be considered top quality!]
Jasper couldn’t see it clearly, the pendant was small and the blemish even smaller. When he enlarged the picture, he said nothing: [What is the flaw? I can’t see it clearly, tell me in details.]
Helena explained to him: [It’s a drop of silver. It’s an untidy little dot. Seriously, it’s a bit unwarranted for such a slip to occur at this level of craftsmanship. Even if there was a miss, they are capable of remedying it and shouldn’t have left this flaw.]
However, when Jasper heard this, his first thought was: trying to cover up? Trying to cover up something!
He asked for the exact location of the blemish, which was right at the base of the lotus flower.
He called Spencer again: “Grandpa, Ivy entrusted Reeva to the attendant and asked him to send Reeva back to the Bates family. What happened later? Why did Reeva never come back?”
Spencer told him, “After the Bates family received the letter, they immediately sent someone to meet them, but they didn’t make it. The attendants and Reeva disappeared, their whereabouts unknown, their lives and deaths unknown, not knowing what happened on the way. The Bates family has been looking for them all these years, and we have always believed that Reeva is still alive. Jasper, none of us have ever met Reeva, and the bracelet is the first clue to the identification.”
“Do you know what that bracelet looks like?”
“I’ve seen it before, but I forget, just remember it being engraved.”
“Which place is it engraved?”
“Engraved on …… oops, don’t really remember, usually I don’t pay attention to it, just remember the Bates family has this kind of bracelet.”
Not having asked for specifics, Jasper had constant speculation.
It was possible that Ivy might have given birth to a twin.
It was possible that the attendants were in two ways divided.
Something might have happened on the way and the babies were gone.
The babies were lost, so could the bracelet be lost. It could be picked up and sold, and finally the bracelet came into William’s hands? But why was it such a coincidence that it just so happened that William was also born prematurely?
Jasper had to get to the bottom of it.
He called Cooper Bates, “What day are you free? Bring your baby out!” He wanted to see how the baby’s bracelet looked like.
Cooper Bates is the eldest grandson of Zack.
The son he gave birth to was the great grandson of Zack.
It was a bit noisy on his end and he spoke loudly, “Jasper, I’m out at the moment and not in City A. I can’t go back until a few days later.”
“Are you going out for fun, or are you traveling for business?”
“It’s not for fun, it’s not for business, it’s just out to pick up someone.”
“What kind of person do you need to pick up personally?”
Cooper laughed: “Of course it’s a very important person. And it’s not just me, Bruno Bates and Casey Bates came with me. You will know who we pick up when we are back.”
Jasper was amused: “According to you, I know this person?”
Cooper wanted to tell him, but remembered his father’s and his Uncle’s instructions. Fine! He would surprise Jasper when he got back. Laughing, he said, “You must know this person! All right, we’ll talk about it when we get back.”
Jasper could not wait to the Bates family to look for the baby.
But he didn’t want to see Zack, he just wanted to see the baby’s bracelet and where the words on the bracelet were actually engraved.
The next day he thought about it and in the end he went to the Sharp’s.
Nora Houghton was surprised to see him coming over, “Why are you here? Did William get into trouble again?”
Jasper looked around, “Only you are home? Where is uncle?”
Nora asked the maid to pour tea and bring snacks, and then invited him to sit on the sofa: “They all went out, and so did grandpa, so I didn’t go out because I want to see William’s live broadcast. Did William get into trouble again? Last time I watched the live broadcast, he made Helena faint.”
When Cooper couldn’t return, he couldn’t see the baby’s bracelet, so he came to ask William about the source of his bracelet first.
He took a sip of tea and spoke in a gentle tone, “Don’t worry, Aunt, it’s normal for him to get into trouble, it’s perverse not to.”
Nora laughed, “He has been spoiled.”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jasper nodded: William had indeed been spoiled. Because of his premature birth, the Sharp family all spoiled him, no one could control him except Jasper.
Why was he afraid of Jasper?
They all did not beat him, while Jasper really would beat him!
Jasper said, “Auntie, last time it had nothing to do with him, it was Helena’s own ill health. But this time, it has something to do with him. Auntie, he said yesterday that he wanted to marry Helena.”
Nora almost bit her tongue in surprise: “He’s going to marry Helena?”
Jasper nodded, pulled out his phone again and showed her the picture of the marriage certificate, “I haven’t made it public yet, so none of them know about it, but you should have heard about it: Helena is my wife, and I have registered my marriage with her.”
Nora looked at the marriage certificate and nodded her head repeatedly.
She knew about it.
It was Evelyn told her.
She was very tight lipped and never spread the news out. So apart from Evelyn, she was the only one in the Sharp family who knew about it.
It was an awkward moment for her: “A younger brother stealing a wife from his older brother, what kind of nonsense is that? He is really spoiled.”
Jasper put away the picture: “He doesn’t know about my relationship with Helena, Helena doesn’t know about my relationship with him, and she doesn’t even know that Lottie is my sister. Helena doesn’t have that kind of feeling for him, but he’s bent on it, and yesterday he even gave Helena his baby bracelet, saying it was a token of affection.”
Nora almost jumped up: “A token of affection? He gave Helena the baby bracelet as a token of affection? Oh my God! This kid is really getting more and more muddled.” She hurriedly calmed Jasper down, “Don’t be angry, I’ll make him take back the bracelet.”
“I’m not angry, I just came over to tell you and uncle. Lest he gets deeper and deeper into it and it hurts him.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I know, I know. Don’t worry, Jasper, I’ll keep your secret for you, and I’ll get William’s nonsense under control as soon as possible, and I’ll get him the baby bracelet back.”
Jasper took another sip of tea and pretended to make small talk as he looked at Nora and said, “Auntie, Helena said that the bracelet is beautiful. She wants to know where you bought that bracelet from. She wants to go and buy two of them for our future kids.”
A light flashed across Nora’s face: “This kind of bracelet is very common and can be bought anywhere. I accidentally saw this when I was shopping and bought it because I thought it was pretty. That shop is now gone, so I can’t recommend it to Helena.”
Jasper nodded: “Can you lend me this bracelet? I want to take it to make a sample and have the master make two for me. Helena hardly ever asks for anything from me, so this time I want to satisfy her.”
Nora hesitated for a moment, but soon agreed, “Okay, okay, just take it. It’s a souvenir, just don’t lose it.”
