Meanwhile, she complied, allowing him to guide her, but once outside, she felt relieved as the surrounding noise dissipated. Moreover, she never enjoyed being in such places.
“Where are we going?”
“Bringing you home,” the man replied.
After hearing this, Willow promptly broke free from his grip and puffed her cheeks angrily at him. “If you plan to send me home, then forget it. I haven’t had my share of fun yet.”
“Miss Presgrave, it’s late. You shouldn’t be outside,” Jasper urged, attempting to reason with her.
Suddenly, her gaze turned serious as she looked at him intently. “Jasper Wyatt, will you be my boyfriend?”
The unexpected question caught him off guard. He hesitated internally but eventually let out hurtful words. “No, I would not.”
“Why? Is it because of your job? I believe no challenge in the world could bring us down,” she said optimistically, convinced that love could overcome any obstacles.
“Miss Presgrave, are you that confident that everyone would like you?” Jasper raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. “Yes, you’re beautiful and wealthy, but that doesn’t make you my type. So, despite your feelings for me, whether I like you or not is a separate matter. Please, Miss Presgrave, be more sensible.”
The hurtful words left Willow feeling numb and her heart wrenching inside. In a soft and defeated voice, she asked, “What kind of woman do you like?”
The man turned away, avoiding eye contact, and replied coldly, “You’re not my type.” As he spoke, he glanced at the bodyguards positioned around them. He knew she would be safe even if he left. With a sigh, he opened the door to an SUV and drove away.
Willow felt a sudden wave of weakness and sat on the stairs, watching the vehicle disappear into the distance, her heart feeling hollow. It seemed like everything had been nothing more than a cruel joke.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she closed her eyes, not caring about the people around her. She couldn’t contain her sorrow and began sobbing by the roadside but was unaware of the SUV’s return on the opposite side of the road. It quietly stopped beside the road, and the man inside the car looked at the crying woman through the window, feeling like his heart was being tugged on.
In the meantime, Jasper clenched the steering wheel inside the car, his hand’s veins bulging as he wrestled with his emotions, contemplating whether to step out of the vehicle.
Eventually, Willow composed herself and stood up, determined to face the situation. She glanced at the bodyguards and proceeded toward the waiting car.
On the other hand, the SUV remained parked there even though she had left.
Three days later, Willow’s phone rang, and she was informed that the city would be holding a commendation ceremony the following Friday, where she had been selected as one of the top ten citizens to be honored. Excited and grateful, she gladly accepted the invitation to attend. After going through a rollercoaster of emotions in the past few days, she decided it was time for a fresh start and moved out of her family home into her villa.
Meanwhile, Elliot and Anastasia, knowing their daughter had recently experienced a challenging relationship, decided to give her space and not interfere with her matters. They believed facing life’s challenges would help her learn and grow, and they wanted her to control her life. Hence, whatever decisions their daughter made, they would support her wholeheartedly.
Similarly, Jasper had settled into his villa as well. Though he had a few days of leave left and could have returned to his position earlier, he chose to stay and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. During his relaxing days, he received an unexpected call from Antoine. “Hello, Uncle.”
“Are you at home?”
“Yes!”
“I need you to come back for a mission. When will you be able to pack up and return?”
“I would like to enjoy the rest of my holidays before returning.”
After hearing this, Antoine spoke in a hushed manner, cautioning, “Jasper, don’t cause any trouble. Don’t think I don’t know what’s happening between you and Miss Presgrave.”
“I’ve already settled that matter,” Jasper replied.
“I won’t interfere with your matters, but don’t you forget about your mission. Between work and relationships, you can only have one choice.”
“I understand,” Jasper acknowledged.
After the call ended, he quickly grabbed his laptop and skillfully navigated through various steps until a live feed appeared on the screen. The camera was positioned near a charming villa and a young woman leisurely basking in the sunshine while tenderly petting her adorable kitten.
The young woman in the video was Willow, and ever since that night, Jasper couldn’t shake off his worries about her. He discreetly traced her movements for a few days and discovered she had moved out from her family’s home to a villa she owned. As he watched her on the screen, a mix of emotions filled his eyes, making him feel like an unintentional stalker.
Suddenly, the cat leaped out of her arms and onto the grass, prompting her to chase after it. She tripped on her slippers and fell, but undeterred, she rubbed her aching legs and continued chasing the mischievous feline. However, the cat seemed triggered by something as it effortlessly jumped over a wall and vanished from sight.
“Oh, no! Chacha, my cat!” Willow fretted, standing behind the wall and stomping her feet in anxiety. On the other hand, fueled by concern, Jasper sprang into action, grabbing his laptop, phone, and car keys before rushing out of his home.
In the meantime, she hurriedly went to the other side of the courtyard wall in search of her runaway cat.
Despite her efforts, her cat was nowhere to be found, leaving her no choice but to seek help from her bodyguards.
“I won’t interfere with your matters, but don’t you forget about your mission. Between work and relationships, you can only have one choice.”
“I won’t intarfara with your mattars, but don’t you forgat about your mission. Batwaan work and ralationships, you can only hava ona choica.”
“I undarstand,” Jaspar acknowladgad.

Just as she returned home, a sleek black SUV pulled up near the courtyard wall, and a striking man in all-black attire emerged from it, radiating an aura of intelligence and power. The man inspected the fence briefly before diligently searching where the cat had disappeared.
Willow’s villa was surrounded by lush woods, shrubs, and vibrant flowers, making the search challenging. Nevertheless, the man displayed incredible patience and determination. Finally, he spotted the Ragdoll cat, as enchanting as its owner, sitting under a short tree adorned with a cute pink bib.
“Come here. I’ll bring you home,” Jasper said as he reached to retrieve the cat. Surprisingly, the cat didn’t resist and allowed itself to be picked up.
With the cat comfortably nestled in his arms, his tall and striking figure approached the nearby wall, giving the cat a few comforting pats along the way.
However, Willow’s hope remained undeterred, and she still searched for her missing feline. As she turned the corner, she was taken aback by the sight that met her eyes—a familiar figure holding her beloved cat in his embrace. A profound silence enveloped them at that moment. She was left utterly stunned, even more so than her cat. As she saw her beloved feline resting securely in the man’s embrace, an inexplicable feeling of envy washed over her.
However, the reason behind Jasper’s appearance in helping to catch the cat was also particularly eerie.
“Jasper, are you monitoring me?” Willow hugged her arms in satisfaction as if she had caught him in a compromising position.
Jasper was a thick-skinned person—he calmly handed her cat to her while facing her inquiry. He did not fluster when he said, “Your cat.”
Willow took the cat back. With a hint of annoyance in her voice, she asked, “Don’t you want to explain? Or are you going to say you were just passing by?”
