Willow quickly opened the door and stepped out of the car, reaching out to support him. “Jasper, what happened to you?” “Get in the car. We need to leave this place,” he said while looking at her.
Nonetheless, she wanted to gather their belongings from the tent, but he stopped her.. “Don’t worry about those anymore. We’re leaving now.”
Willow got into the passenger seat and Jasper immediately started the car, driving out of the forest. Those people just now were locals. If they didn’t leave here quickly, they would likely be surrounded by those people.
Sure enough, the four thugs returned to the village and immediately gathered a group of people for revenge. However, when they arrived, the car had already left. Even so, they still gathered more people and started to chase after them.
Fortunately, Jasper acted quickly, and those people couldn’t catch up with them in the end. As Jasper’s car drove on a road twenty kilometers away, his phone rang. He glanced at it and swiped the phone to answer, “Hello!”
“Where is my daughter?” a stern male voice came from the other end. “Mr. Presgrave, please wait a moment,” Jasper said and handed the phone to Willow, who was in the passenger seat. “It’s your dad.”
Willow smiled and took the phone. ‘Hello, Dad.” “Are you okay? Did you get scared? I will come and pick you up right away.” Elliot’s worried voice came through. “Dad, I’m fine. I’m doing well!”
“Good. In another half an hour, you’ll see me.” Elliot then continued, “Pass the phone back to him.” Willow handed the phone back to Jasper. By then, Jasper had already parked the car on the side of the road as he answered, “Hello, Mr. Presgrave.”
“Mr. Wyatt, my subordinate will send you the address. Please bring my daughter here now.”
“Okay,” Jasper responded.
“Thank you!”
“You’re welcome.” After hanging up the phone, Jasper turned to the girl next to him before breathing a sigh of relief. As long as she returned to her family, she would be safe, they wouldn’t have to flee for their lives anymore.
For a while, the atmosphere inside the car became somewhat heavy. An unexpected separation moment had begun. Willow thought that it would take several days for her father to come and pick her up. She didn’t expect that her time with Jasper would be limited to just this journey until she reached her father.
With their respective identities, it would be almost impossible for them to meet again in the future. It was like they would never have a chance to meet again in this lifetime. Willow bit her lip and asked, “Jasper, can you give me a way to contact you? Maybe in the future, we…”
“I can’t,” the man coldly and decisively refused. Willow’s pretty face blushed. As a member of the Presgrave Family, she never needed to ask others for their contact information. Today was the first time she had spoken up, and she didn’t expect to be rejected so bluntly. It really struck her self-esteem hard..
“So, you’re saying that once you bring me to my dad, we’ll never see each other again?” Willow boldly confronted the issue. She thought that after spending a few days with this man, he would at least want to be friends with her, right?
“That’s right, the man replied. As the sound of a text message came through on his phone, he reached for the phone and took a glance at the address. Then, he searched for it on the car’s navigation system, quickly pinpointing a specific location.
Willow’s breath involuntarily hitched. Although. it seemed like she was lowering her self-value by doing this, she really hoped to keep in touch. with him. She didn’t want to go through her whole life without seeing him again. This desire was somewhat intense-so intense that no one else had ever provoked such thoughts in her.
After all, in these past few days, he had risked his life to protect her while heavily injured. Furthermore, he had even been considerate enough to swat away mosquitoes for her while she was sleeping. Besides her father and brother, he was the first person to do such things.
“Then, at least give me an address where I can find you in the future.” Willow compromised. In any case, as long as they didn’t lose contact, it would be fine. At least, she would know that he was safe after each mission.
Jasper smoothly started the car and elegantly turned the steering wheel while speaking in a casual tone, “Miss Presgrave, don’t like me and don’t fall in love with me. It won’t lead to anything.”
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.
The 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 and rushed toward him. “Dad!” Jasper, seeing this, also pushed open the door and greeted Elliot. ‘Mr. Presgrave, I 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.
Surprisingly, Jasper drove off without a single moment of hesitation or pause. The car soon disappeared around the corner. Elliot could see the tears and reluctance shimmering in Willow’s eyes. He sighed. How could he let his precious daughter fall in love with a member of the special forces? His job was so dangerous.
Thus, he admired Jasper’s actions for Jasper did not leave Willow with a single shred of hope. The RV driving on the road suddenly swerved into a tiny alley. Then, it stopped and stayed there.
A man’s handsome face was reflected in the rearview mirror as he gazed into the mirror with a deep and mysterious gaze that kept his thoughts hidden. He stared at the main road behind him. Six black SUVS sped past the junction as a thoughtful look shone in his eyes.
Just then, his phone rang. He glanced down at it before answering the call. ‘Hey.” “You’ve handed her over to the Presgraves’ men, right? It was his uncle, who was also his superior.
“Yes,” he replied. “Was Miss Presgrave hurt?”
“Not at all. She was completely fine.” “That’s good. Next time you see Miss Presgrave, avoid her. Don’t attract her attention at all. Do you hear me?”
“Why?” “Why? Don’t you know how strong and powerful her family is? Anyway, in the future, whenever you see her, just stay away from her,” his worrying uncle instructed.
“Got it,” Jasper responded, closing his eyes as his head began to pound. “Come back now. You’ve made a mess of the mission, so you’ll have to make up for it in the future.”
“Roger.” Jasper then started the car once more. Currently, on the way to the airport were the Presgraves’ troupe of cars along with three helicopters escorting them while scouting the area around the group. Security was very strict.
However, the woman sitting in the car in the center of everything was clearly not happy. Usually, Willow would be eager to tell her father everything about the eventful adventure she just had. Sitting next to her, Elliot waited and waited for her to offer up all the details of her experience, but she did not do so. Instead, she merely stared out of the window, lost in her thoughts.
“Were you scared, Willy?” Elliot asked, concerned. He had heard that Jasper’s safehouse was broken into. She must have been there during the attack, so did that mean she witnessed all the blood that was spilled? Was she in shock?
“No.” She shook her head before turning to look at him and reaching out for him with one hand. “Dad, can you tell me what Jasper’s job is?”
