"Jas, how are you here?"
When Adam saw Jas, he was sowhat baffled, blinking his eyes and staring for a long ti before he could confirm.
Compared to Adam’s astonishnt, Jas calmly adjusted his overcoat.
He fixed his gaze on Adam’s face, the lenses of his glasses slightly refracting the direct sunlight, making it hard to see the expression in his eyes.
"It’s been a while, Adam."
This sentence left Adam unsure of how to respond.
Actually, he was indeed familiar with Jas.
Years ago, when Mr. Ross forcibly sent Adam abroad to study, it happened to be the ti when Jas was in the sa class.
Although Mr. Ross had sent Adam to the best school, Adam also knew that Mr. Ross didn’t hold much hope for him. Thus, during his ti at school, Adam rely whiled away the days, surrounded daily by a horde of frivolous friends.
However, Jas was excellent both in character and learning, shining the brightest whether in the eyes of the teachers or classmates.
Yet surprisingly, such an outstanding person eventually beca his friend.
At first, Adam was amazed that he could beco familiar with such a "decent" person like Jas.
But it was only after a certain incident that Adam truly saw Jas’s real face.
It indeed shocked him for a long ti.
Now, as old friends reunite, Adam looked at Jas with a sowhat subtle expression in his eyes.
"Aren’t you in Ashton? Why are you here?"
Clearly, by "here," Adam was not referring to their current location in Druarus, but to Stardust Garden.
"I ca to pick up the children," Jas answered calmly.
This response was not unexpected for Adam; he responded and continued, "What a coincidence, so did I."
Now that the identities of Jack and Chad had been made public, Adam was definitely going to take the two children back to the Ross family.
But the words Jas spoke next made Adam pause, halting the step he was about to take.
"You can’t." Jas glanced at Adam.
"What did you say?"
Adam was sowhat confused, and only after a while did he understand the implication of Jas’s words.
"Our Mr. Thompson has co to Druarus, and he definitely wants to see all six children."
"Mr. Thompson is also here?" Adam asked, a bit surprised.
Adam was well aware early on. The matter regarding the children, the Thompson family would surely be inford, but he had no idea that Mr. Thompson would personally co to Druarus.
No wonder Jas suddenly appeared here.
"But I need to take Jack and Chad back to the Ross family imdiately, as their identities have already been made public."
Mr. Ross is now eagerly hoping that the two children return to the Ross family imdiately to have their nas entered into the family registry.
However, hearing Adam’s words, Jas’s expression remained mostly unchanged.
"Adam, you should be aware of why our Mr. Thompson has co to Druarus at this ti. He is already very dissatisfied with how your Ross family handled this matter, and if I don’t take Jack and Chad back with this ti, he’s likely to be even more upset."
Although there wasn’t much fluctuation in Jas’s voice, and even a trace of a refined smile was hanging on his lips, the more Adam looked at Jas’s expression, the more he felt a chill.
Who this person before him was, he was very clear.
For a mont, Adam felt his recent misfortunes must be due to rcury being in retrograde.
And among so many from the Thompson family, it just had to be Jas who ca to pick up the children.
