Chapter 2155
Fred knew yesterday that he would see Yannick here. When going to bed at night, Jackie had talked about Yannick all night. Fred felt uncomfortable over Jackie's excitement in meeting Yannick. She even took out her beautiful dress, asked Fred if it looked good on her, and wondered if Yannick would like her in the dress.Fred did not want Jackie to care about Yannick that much. He wanted Jackie to care about him alone!Putting Jacqueline down, Yannick came over to greet Serenity and the other kids. Although Fred turned his head away and did not respond to Yannick's greeting, Yannick did not mind and smiled. He told Lisa, "Aunt Lisa, why don't I take them to meet baby Renee?""Sure," Lisa agreed. She did not have to worry because the nannies and maids were looking after her baby.Lisa watched as Yannick led the kids up the stairs, amused to see the big group of kids. "When Clara's baby is born, the group of kids will grow bigger. It's going to be fun having eight kids around at once!"

Micah frowned, thinking about the baby. Mom said Aunt Lisa's baby was beautiful, but he did not think so, no matter how he looked at her.Micah's gaze rose and turned to his sister. Well, Jackie was much prettier.Jacqueline stared at the baby with curiosity. She carefully touched Renee's face and wondered how such a tiny thing was just the size of her larger dolls.Fred paid no attention to the baby and focused on Jacqueline."So adorable!" Cynthia cooed as she looked at the baby. The baby was so soft and cute. Her eyes sparkled, and a smile lit up her face. Cynthia was unrelated to the White family, but Caden had dragged her along for the visit here. Aunt Serene wanted to bring Caden over, but Caden refused unless she came along.As if sensing the crowd's curious stares, the baby opened her eyes and began to cry. The nanny hurriedly picked up the baby and coaxed her. The baby stopped crying after a while, and her eyes moved, as if she was looking at her surroundings. Cynthia

While holding Renee, Jacqueline discovered that the baby was fascinating. "The baby is yawning! Haha! She's so cute when she yawns! Micah, Yanny! Did you see the baby yawn?!""Yeah," Micah responded nonchalantly.Yannick said, "Looks like Renee's comfortable!""Renee, hurry and grow up. I've got lots of beautiful dolls for you to play with!" Jacqueline said, ready to be Renee's older sister. Renee smiled in Jacqueline's arms as if she understood what Jacqueline had said. Jacqueline got even more excited and said, "Yanny! Look! Renee is smiling at me. Does she like me too?""Yeah, she must really like you," Yannick said gently.Fred felt uncomfortable watching this scene in front of him. Maybe his presence was unnecessary, he thought as he lowered his head and slowly walked out of the room. He should not have come in the first place. All these things had nothing to do with him.While at the walkway, Fred happened to see Cynthia and Caden through the window. Fred stood on the tip
Chapter 2158
Cynthia became envious of Evelyn as she listened to Evelyn's stories with her boyfriend. She began to wonder what it would be like to have a boyfriend in the future. Would it be like what she saw on TV? Although Cynthia was only in first grade, she knew what a boyfriend meant. She had seen it on TV before, after all!"Then just don't like other people," Caden said in a small voice, and his smile faded again."That's impossible," Cynthia refused and did not notice the dimming light in Caden's eyes.-Fred had no idea how long he had been hiding in the hallway. No one noticed him leaving the room, not even Jackie. Jackie did not come out to look for him because he was just a nobody.Fred was good at playing the piano, and that may be the only reason Jackie found him interesting. Many other children could not play the piano or keep up with Jackie's rhythm, so she loved playing with him. Whenever Jackie met someone else she liked better, he would be cast aside, just as he was at the

The child's voice caught everyone's attention, and they all turned to look at the stairs. Fred stood near the stairs on the second floor, and Jacqueline glared at Fred with a look of anger and shock. She must have seen something.Concerned, Serenity hurried to her daughter's side. "Jackie? What's going on?""Mommy, I saw Fred push Yanny down the stairs!" Jacqueline said. "I'm not the only one who saw it! Micah saw it too!"Jacqueline did not understand why Fred would push Yanny. Thankfully, Yanny had grabbed the handrail, or he would have gotten badly injured.Jacqueline had seen it on a TV show before. A lady who had gotten pushed down the stairs had died. Even though Mom told her that the TV show was fake, she had nightmares about it for a long time.Serenity then turned to Micah. "Micah? Is Jackie telling the truth?"Micah answered with a nod. "Jackie and I saw it. When Yanny was about to descend the stairs, Fred suddenly ran to him and pushed him."All eyes were on Fred at o

"Tell me your reason. I know you would never push someone for no reason," Serenity continued asking."Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me!" Fred said."But if you don't tell me, how do you know I won't believe you?" Serenity asked in reply."Have you forgotten? I'm a lawyer. If you have a reason and were wrongly accused, I'll clear your name. But if you did push Yanny down the stairs on purpose, I'll punish you!"After a short silence, Fred said in a small voice, "I heard a sound. I thought something was coming toward Yannick, so I tried to push him away.""There was a sound? What do you mean?" Serenity asked in confusion."It was a sound," Fred said. He was too young to describe the sound he had heard, so this was his best explanation.Serenity pondered for a moment. "You said there was a sound. Was there anything else? If you want me to believe you, you should tell me more. Was it just a sound? How can I help find evidence for you with that?"Fred kept his head down a

Jacqueline realized Fred was not going to apologize no matter what she said. Anger took over her, and she declared, "You must apologize to Yanny! If you don't, I won't play with you again! I don't want to be your friend!" This was the most serious threat a child could give, and surely enough, Fred's face paled at Jacqueline's threat.Fred reached out, wanting to grab Jacqueline. He wanted to tell her the truth, that he had heard a sound coming for Yannick, so he had pushed him away. But in fact, he had not even touched Yannick. Yannick had accidentally fallen when he tried to avoid him.Fred paused, his hand catching nothing but air, and a feeling of emptiness washed over him instantly.The servants around them looked at him with ridicule, disgust, and disdain. Fred shrank back and dropped his hands. He kept his head down and returned to his room like a poor, little soul.The room felt so empty and cold. Fred had never felt this cold before.Would Jackie no longer consider him a

Serenity hesitated for a moment. In the end, she shook her head and still believed in Fred. "I don't think Fred would do something like that. I'll look for evidence, in any case.""But what if the evidence still points to Fred? Would you still defend him?" Jackson asked.Serenity gave Jackson a look. "What are you trying to say?" They were married, and she sensed Jackson was implying something in what he said."Now that this has happened, wouldn't it be better for Weston Stanton to take Fred away?" Jackson said. "Serenity, you only took Fred in because he had no place to go. I'm not against it, but I can't say I agree. He's Jenny's son, after all." Although Fred was just a child, Jackson was extra careful with him. He was afraid that the boy would blame the Valor family for his mother's death. The boy might be harboring hatred toward the Valor family without them realizing it."Now's a good time to give Fred back to Weston. The kid should return to the Stanton family for his own
