Willow 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, | must also extend my thanks to one person. This task would have been
impossible to accomplish without him. | hope he knows how important he has always been to me.”

to the corner. It seemed that certain things were quietly unfolding.

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.

remarked since her achievements were built upon his efforts. “You deserve it, Jasper asserted.
Willow beamed. “Can | take that as you saying what's yours is also mine? Oh, by the way, | told my dad that

Jasper hesitated for a few seconds, then. nodded. “Alright! My treat.” She was overjoyed. “It's a date, then. I'll be

and resignation as he watched her leave. When Jasper returned to his car, his phone rang. He answered the
phone. “Hello.”
