“Okay, I’ll propose this to the Presgraves,” he replied.
At 3.00PM, Willow was waiting for Jasper at home. She thought he was only going back to the area where the bodyguards were stationed, but it surprised her when he arrived carrying a bag of belongings. Standing in front of her, he announced in a serious tone, “From now on, I must protect your family closely.”
She fluttered her eyes and blurted out surprisingly. “Do you mean close protection?”
At that, Jared instantly covered his mouth and cleared his throat before reminding his sister to act more ladylike. “Willow, don’t get in Mr. Wyatt’s way.”
The woman also realized she might have been a little too excited and could only reply, “I was just asking!”
Jasper turned to Jared, informing, “Young Master Tillman, what I meant is to share the same bedroom with her and provide her with close protection 24/7.”
Just as disappointment was about to cloud Willow’s heart, his words gave her a glimmer of hope. Oh, really?!
Jared was also taken aback for a moment.
“I’d like to have a word with you, Young Master Tillman,” said Jasper. He had to let Jared know the seriousness of the situation.
Seeing that the man was about to converse with Jared in her absence, she wondered what the content was, given their relationship. “I want to hear it, too,” she said immediately.
Jasper turned her down firmly. “No, you can’t listen in on this.”
Willow instantly blinked at him with a hurt demeanor while looking at him with an angry pout.
Jared could not help but persuade her. “Willow, you should stay out of man-to-man conversations. Be good, will you?” After that, he said to Jasper, “Mr. Wyatt, this way, please.”
Once they came into a quiet study, Jasper took out his laptop and explained the ins and outs of the situation.
Just as he expected, Jared took this seriously. “If that’s the case, we need to be on guard. It seems that this person is no less formidable than you.”
“He’s a killing machine painstakingly trained by Moncent. Unlike the team of mercenaries whom we took out, he’s harder to deal with. And besides, I once intercepted him during his job, so he’s holding a grudge against me. This time, he’ll do whatever it takes to finish the job and keep the bounty all to himself,” explained Jasper.
“In that case, Jasper, I’m leaving Willow to your protection. At the same time, I’ll protect my family and myself,” said Jared. Now, he also had to protect his wife and child from harm.
“Understood. I’ll stay close by her side 24/7 without letting her out of my sight.”
Jared nodded. With Jasper by her side, I won’t have to worry.
In the meantime, Willow was in the living room waiting for the two men to return. When she saw them come out, she immediately switched from sitting with her legs wide apart like a man to a ladylike posture.
A touch of loving amusement flitted across Jasper’s heart as he took this in.
Jared came to her side and said to her with a serious countenance, “Willow, from now on, Mr. Wyatt will live with you and follow you wherever you go. Don’t play any tricks. Also, you’ll do everything he says.”
“Don’t worry, Jared! I’ll be on my best behavior,” replied Willow, reassuring him before winking at a certain man.
Jasper began to doubt her words. Will she behave?
Jared also felt helpless about her, but he believed Jasper would have a way with her. This sister of mine has always been quirky and mischievous since she was a child. Even Mom and Dad have no idea what to do with her sometimes.
“Well then, Willow, take Mr. Wyatt back to your room. Allow him to sleep on your couch for the time being,” he said.
Willow’s bedroom was spacious, and it had a large couch she would usually use as a bed. And now, it came in handy for Jasper to settle down there.
She nodded and said to the man, “Let’s go, Jasper! Let me take you to my room.”
He nodded and followed her upstairs while carrying his bag of belongings. As they entered her master bedroom, she suddenly spotted something on the couch. Immediately, she trotted over to it and picked the item up, hiding it behind her back.
However, Jasper’s keen eyes quickly noticed what it was. It was a pink bra.
Willow told him, “Come with me to the closet. I have an empty wardrobe which you can put your clothes in.”
He nodded before following her into the closet, where she opened the empty wardrobe with ample space inside.
The man opened his bag of belongings. He brought only a few clothes—just three sets of them in total —and his personal belongings consisted only of a razor and a charger.
Willow came over, saying, “Let me hang up your clothes for you! Wow, you don’t have that many. I’ll get somebody to bring you a few sets of them.”
Jasper shook his head. “There’s no need to. These are enough.”
She felt sorry for him. Wrapping her arms around his waist from behind, she pressed her face against his back, saying, “Can’t I be nice to you?”
He pried her hands away and turned around to face her. “You’ve been great to me.”
“But I can be better.” She continued holding onto his waist while tilting her face up to look at him.
Jasper looked at her little face, radiating an alluring charm of youth. Like a jewel sparkling with splendor, it was so beautiful that he could not help but want to make it his own. “Willow, I’m currently on a mission, and you’re under my protection,” he said, reminding the girl in his arms.
She winked playfully. “So, as my protector, you’re supposed to do whatever I ask, right?”
I should’ve known that she wasn’t someone who would behave herself. He nodded, saying, “Yeah, that’s technically right.”
Satisfied with this response, Willow nodded. “Well then, let’s get along well from now on! What would you like to drink? Order away!”
He nodded. “Just a bottle of drinking water will do.”
She then went downstairs to get drinking water for him. On the other hand, he began his work. After deciding to upgrade the surveillance system around Presgrave Villa, he inserted his code program into it.
Just then, Willow came back with the drinking water. At the sight of the man fully immersed in his work while sitting on the couch with his back straight, she found herself captivated. The way he focused on his work was always so charming, and the sight of his slender fingers typing out code commands was just so cool.
She uncapped the water bottle and placed it beside him. “I won’t disturb you, then. I’ll be in the lounge outside.”
Her heart had settled down. With the man by her side, she felt the whole world was rallying around her; nothing new or interesting outside could draw her interest, and she could stay home quietly without going anywhere.
She picked up her iPad and started playing games. She did play some to pass the time, though she was not skilled at it and was often defeated by others. After losing several rounds in a row, she sprawled on the couch in frustration.
Just then, Jasper pushed the door open and came out. Seeing the look on her face, he asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
“I keep losing!” Willow sighed helplessly before her eyes brightened up. “Jasper, do you play games? Can you play a few rounds for me?”
