Jasper’s deep gaze fell onto her face. “I promise.”
She recalled a restaurant with great privacy and gave him the address. Then, they headed for that restaurant.
Once they arrived, they chose a quiet room and ordered their food. The room seemed particularly cozy and comfortable.
Jasper insisted that Willow sat on the couch. When she touched his ear, he understood that she was feeling distressed for him, so he held her hand and gazed at her gently. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
After leaning into his embrace and snuggling into his chest, Willow felt a great sense of security. Besides her father and older brother, Jasper was the man she felt the safest with. It was as though she had the courage to go against the entire world whenever she stood beside him.
Jasper rubbed her head and lightly kissed her hair, breathing in the faint floral scent on her body. Whenever he thought about the day of the rescue, he would still feel frightened. Every time he thought about it, his body would tense up, and he would feel chills run down his spine. If he hadn’t succeeded in stopping Calvin at the last moment, the destructive bomb would explode right beside her.
After he came to, he had nightmares about it for several nights straight, scaring him awake, drenched in sweat. Even though he had woken up, he still couldn’t dispel the fear in him.
Jasper tightened his hug around Willow, pulling her deeper into his embrace. Though Willow felt slightly breathless, she could sense the man’s strong affection and didn’t struggle, letting him hug her tightly.
Meanwhile, Jasper soon realized he had been hugging her too tightly and released her. When Willow looked up, she met his deep eyes that were filled with affection. They resembled a sea of affection— one she’d willingly drown in.
Moreover, the emotion in his eyes no longer seemed restrained or suppressed but honest and passionate. Like a lake with clear water, his every emotion was clearly shown to her.
Willow was elated because this man was finally hers, and hers alone. She no longer had to worry about him leaving.
Just as she was about to kiss him, there was a knock on the door. It was probably the dishes they ordered, so Willow could only pull him back over to sit at the table.
The sumptuous meal was served in one go. Since the waitress could sense the dense, flirty atmosphere in the room, she quickly left after serving the dishes. In addition, she had sneaked several glances at Jasper just now because she had never seen a handsome man who was also filled with positive energy. To be able to become the man’s girlfriend would be the happiest thing in the world.
Willow served the man some dishes while he stabbed a piece of fried shrimp with his fork and placed it beside her lips.
Happily taking a bite, Willow chewed on her food while looking at the man with her bright eyes.
The man hadn’t eaten anything but had already gulped several times. No matter how delicious the food was, they weren’t as attractive to him as the young woman before him.
Following that, the couple fed each other, one mouthful after another, and finished their dinner after an hour.
Once they were done eating, Jasper brought Willow strolling at a nearby square. Since Jasper had always been busy with work, this was the first time he had such a relaxing stroll while holding hands with someone else.
Willow held his arm and occasionally looked up to admire the man’s appearance. Everywhere he walked by, he would attract the attention of other women. That was because he was too stunning. No matter it was his temperament or appearance, he was the most eye-catching one in the crowd.
“Wow! He’s so handsome. Is he a celebrity?” a young woman gasped.
Willow looked back and saw several young women had stopped walking and were busy trying to take photos of Jasper sneakily. Suddenly, Willow felt somewhat displeased because she didn’t intend to benefit other women when deciding to bring her man out. She held the man’s arm and walked toward a less crowded area. “Let’s go over there.”
Jasper immediately held her shoulders and headed to a less crowded street. Some trees were shielding the area, and coupled with the dim yellow streetlights, it created the perfect spot for a date.
However, once they arrived, Willow discovered what this spot was used for. It was an attraction for couples! There were couples on each bench spaced about ten meters apart. Some were hugging each other, some were whispering sweet nothings to each other, and some were even kissing.
Blushing, Willow held Jasper’s arm and walked away but unexpectedly came to an even more deserted pathway.
While Willow wanted a quiet place for them to enjoy the night view together, with how vicious and complicated modern society was, ordinary people wouldn’t dare wander into such places because there were bound to be hidden dangers there. For example, thieves.
After Willow and Jasper were over twenty meters down the pathway, three men suddenly appeared, with one in front of them and two behind them. If an ordinary couple had stumbled upon such a situation, they would have been shivering in fear and at a loss.
Willow noticed the three were relatively young. Obviously, they were too lazy to make an effort and relied only on robbing others to get by, so Willow kindly reminded them, “If you don’t want to end up in the hospital, I’d suggest you leave now. Don’t even think about robbing us.”
“Miss, hand over your bag immediately and take off your watch and jewelry. Otherwise, we’ll let you have a taste of what it feels like to get stabbed. Now, move it!” one of them viciously threatened the couple.
Willow continued to reason with them. “My boyfriend is very strong, so you guys better not offend him, or else things will get ugly.”
The three men were experienced and not easily scared. When they saw the calm expression on Willow’s face, they were agitated and thought she was looking down on their profession as robbers. “I’ll count to five. If you still don’t hand over your bag and items, we won’t be able to ensure your life.”
After giving them a resigned look, Willow tried again. “I’d advise you guys to turn over a new leaf.”
“This lady is quite pretty. Let’s have a go at her later. It’s been a while since we’ve seen such a beautiful girl.” One of the men was overwhelmed with desire and started having lewd ideas about Willow.
Jasper’s aura instantly changed. His gaze was filled with icy coldness as he clenched his fists tightly, emanating a murderous aura. “Willy, wait here,” he gently instructed.
In the meantime, the three men were instantly frightened. Jasper’s intense stare made them feel like they were being targeted by a wild beast. As a result, the man behind them became somewhat terrified and quickly ran to his companion, discussing what to do next.
However, Jasper had already thrown a punch directly at him. The man took the punch and collapsed on the ground while the other two attempted to flee after witnessing that. Jasper immediately grabbed their collars, lifting them up and slamming them forcefully onto the ground. It was just one move, but the three men were already piled on top of each other like a hamburger.
Jasper stepped on the man’s ribs at the top, causing him to cry in pain, sounding like an animal being slaughtered.

Following the men’s pleas, Willow approached them with a sneer. “I warned you, but you chose not to listen, so this is the consequence you have to face. Since you’re daring enough to commit crimes, Jasper, teach them a lesson.”
“Miss, please spare us!”
“We were wrong.”
“We won’t do it again.”
At first, the three men thought Willow looked cute and beautiful, but the words that came out from her lips sent shivers down their spines.
Jasper exerted more force into his leg, causing the three men to let out cries of pain. Then, he warned them, “If you ever try to rob anyone again, I’ll break your legs.”
Once that was said, Jasper withdrew his leg, and the three men fled the scene while clutching their chests.
Willow gazed at her man with admiration in her eyes. It started out as a simple stroll, but they ended up teaching some bad guys a lesson. Such righteous actions made her feel very proud. “Come on. Let’s go home,” she said.
Since Jasper hadn’t finished furnishing his home, he held her hand and offered, “I’ll start furnishing my home tomorrow. Then, I’ll invite you over.”
Smiling, Willow replied, “I don’t mind that.”
“I’ll send you home,” Jasper said in a deep voice. Though their elders have agreed for them to be together, they weren’t engaged yet, so it wouldn’t look good for them to stay out together.
Having thought of the same thing, Willow bit her lip as she really wanted to stay the night with him. But what could she do?
She didn’t dwell on it because she was determined to stay with him. “I’ll make a call. Wait for me.”
