Chapter 2370 The Awards Ceremony
Therefore, this made Willow's accomplishments the most notable among the Top 10 Outstanding Figures of this
year.
Around 10.00AM, with roughly ten minutes left until the commencement of the awards ceremony, Willow noticed
that her parents, Jared, and Ellen had arrived whereas Jasper was absent.
A wave of disappointment surged within her. Didn't he promise to come? Why isn't he here?
There was no sign of him when the awards ceremony commenced and unfolded. However, at that very moment,
she felt a pair of eyes fixating on her around the corner. She couldn't help but glance over.
Her surprise had no bounds when she did so. It turned out that a certain man who was dressed in a police uniform
was standing there staring at her and had successfully masked himself as a member of today's security team. Her
heart was immediately filled with profound emotion as their gazes met.
This man had always exuded a handsome charm regardless of his attire. The police uniform seemed to suit him
particularly well as it accentuated his righteous and awe-inspiring aura.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWillow was called upon to give a speech as the awards ceremony began. She made a brief speech with graceful
confidence, unfazed. In the audience, Elliot and Anastasia wore proud and delighted smiles as they were overjoyed
that they had raised such exceptional children.
After Willow finished speaking, she cast a sweet smile toward the corner of the room. "In addition to expressing my
gratitude to my teammates, I must also extend my thanks to one person. This task would have been impossible to
accomplish without him. I hope he knows how important he has always been to me."
This statement bore a dual significance. Elliot finally understood what his daughter meant when his gaze shifted to
the corner. It seemed that certain things were quietly unfolding.
Jared applauded as he was so proud of his sister on this special day. She wasn't just beautiful, but she also appeared
to have grown up. As the elder brother, he couldn't help but feel delighted when he thought about how Willow, who
had always seemed like a child, had grown up to this point!
"Willow is truly remarkable!" Ellen exclaimed sincerely.
"This girl has truly grown up," Jared remarked with a sense of nostalgia.
After descending from the stage following the awards, Willow deliberately walked in the direction where Jasper was
situated. Just as she was about to step down, she feigned a stumble, and the man standing nearby swiftly reached
out and grabbed her wrist to stop her from falling.
Willow nearly half-collapsed into his embrace. In a place where no one could see, a blossom of emotion bloomed
within her heart.
"Be careful," Jasper muttered.
"I know!" Willow replied with a smile tugging at her lips. She then returned to her seat.
Willow's mind seemed to be elsewhere throughout the commendation ceremony. She rose from her seat once
again after handing the award to her father.
Jasper stood by the door as if he were a security guard. Willow walked over to his side. "Mr. Wyatt, are you on
duty?"
He was indeed occupied with his duties. He was here today to ensure the security of this ceremony.
Jasper turned his head slightly to look at Willow. She was dressed in an ensemble of muted gray and exuded a
sophisticated elegance. With her hair gathered up, an air of maturity emanated from her. Her enigmatic beauty
carried an effervescent vitality that was tantalizingly elusive, stirring a sense of yearning within observers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Do I look good today?" Willow tilted her head to the side and looked at him with an endearing charm.
Jasper nodded in agreement and said genuinely, "You look stunning."
"Do you like it then?" Willow asked with a wink.
He stared at her petite face, a suppressed intensity flickering in his eyes. He replied in a deep voice, "You should
return to the ceremony."
"Some of the credit for today's honor goes to you, Jasper. The award should also belong to you," Willow remarked
since her achievements were built upon his efforts.
"You deserve it," Jasper asserted.
Willow beamed. "Can I take that as you saying what's yours is also mine? Oh, by the way, I told my dad that there
will be no celebration dinner tonight. I want to celebrate with you instead. Are you coming?" Willow invited him.
Jasper hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded. "Alright! My treat."
She was overjoyed. "It's a date, then. I'll be looking forward to your plans!"
Willow returned to the ceremony happily. Jasper's gaze turned tender, but it was also tinged with a hint of sorrow
and resignation as he watched her leave.
When Jasper returned to his car, his phone rang. He answered the phone. "Hello."
