Willow was already blushing, but now her face turned even redder. Her pride couldn’t handle it. She bit her lip and
said, “I-I didn’t say I like you.”
“It’s best if you don’t.” Jasper kept his gaze forward, his deep eyes revealing no emotions. However, Willow could
tell that what he said was what he truly felt. In other words, she had misunderstood things.
Willow felt her chest rise and fall with anger. She never expected that the strongest feeling of defeat in her life
would come from this man. It made her start to doubt herself. Was she really that unlikable? Thinking about it, she
realized that she had caused him quite a bit of trouble, which could be why he didn’t like her. He only protected her
because of the pressure exerted by her father. Otherwise, he had no reason to protect someone of no value.
Willow pouted and looked out of the window. At that moment, the man turned his head to look at her for a few
seconds, without her notice. The glass reflected her expression, resembling that of a sulking child.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man’s gaze narrowed slightly, then he looked at the navigation map, which showed that they were only 35
minutes away from their destination. “Let’s play a song to listen to! It’s so dull,” Willow said, feeling embarrassed
and bored.
Jasper played a song, and the atmosphere improved slightly. Willow’s eyes were trained on the scenery outside the
window moving backward, but her mind was filled with memories of the series of events she had experienced with
Jasper. As she thought about it, she realized that a strong sense of reluctance grew within her. But she had to
suppress it and not show it, otherwise, it would only make her feel more embarrassed. He didn’t value her feelings,
and if she voiced them, it would only be a joke.
The journey went smoothly without them even encountering a single traffic light. Jasper’s driving speed wasn’t fast,
nor was it slow. Willow glanced at the time on the navigation, and there were only 20 minutes left. For the first time,
she wished the road was longer..
“Jasper, will you remember me in the future?” Willow took the opportunity to ask him. “I have a lot of work to
handle every day, so might not remember anyone,” the man replied.
“Then let me give you my phone number! If you’re not busy or have free time, you can call me. We can chat or
something. What do you think?” Willow’s big eyes were filled with anticipation. This should be enough, right?
“I don’t have time nor leisure to chat. The man cut off the conversation directly. Willow glared at him, crossed her
arms, and turned her face away. “Fine! No contact then. I don’t care.”
It was clearly a statement declared in anger. Jasper’s car got closer and closer to the destination. Finally, on a road,
they saw the Presgrave Family’s convoy-there were at least six bodyguard cars. Jasper’s car was recognized, and a
bodyguard gestured for him to drive into the parking lot of a nearby building.
The car came to a stop, and a bodyguard came over and opened the door, welcoming Willow. “Miss Presgrave,
please step out.” Willow sat in the car and looked at the man opposite her, then shifted her body and got out of the
car.
“Willow.” A tall and dignified figure quickly emerged from the nearby car. Willow saw her father’s majestic figure

have safely. delivered Miss Presgrave. I should be going now.”
“Wait,” Willow called out, stopping him. “Jasper, aren’t you injured? Why don’t you come with us?” Jasper shook his
head. “No need; it’s just a minor injury.” After saying that, Jasper turned around and left. Willow called out to him in
concern, “Hey!”
Elliot, being perceptive, immediately directed his deep gaze toward the young man who had gotten into the car. At
the same time, he reached out and held his daughter’s shoulder, saying, “Willow, Mr. Wyatt still has work to do.
Don’t bother him anymore.”
“But… Dad!” Willow felt a little anxious because she knew that Jasper’s injury still hadn’t fully healed.
