“Jasper, how old are you? Are you married? Do you have children?”
She propped up her cheeks and curiously interrogated him. However, Jasper didn’t answer her. He kept his head lowered and was engrossed in checking his messages on his black phone.
Willow pouted and frowned. “Why can you play with your phone, but I can’t? Let me borrow your phone to play for a while!”
“No,” he said sternly. She bit her lip and stared at him with her beautiful eyes with puffed-out cheeks, hoping to guilt trip him so that he’d let her play with the phone.
Indeed, Willow’s big eyes were quite influential. She saw his eyebrows knit together, and he looked up as he locked his gaze with hers. Their eyes were tightly interlocked.
She couldn’t hold back for long and a bright smile bloomed on her lips. She looked somewhat smug as she gazed at Jasper. ‘Let’s both stop looking at our phones and chat together then!” He put down his phone and calmly said, “Knowing about me doesn’t benefit you in any way.”
She blinked. “So, you mean we’ll spend these two days just staring at each other without saying anything? That would bore me to death. Am I not your mission objective? Is it not good to make your mission objective a bit happier?”
“I only need to ensure that my mission objective stays alive. Jasper lifted an eyebrow. Willow realized that conversing with him could really lead to a dead end. He could kill a conversation in just a few sentences.
“Forget it then. I’ll go to sleep.” She decided it was better not to seek trouble. Sleeping was way more enjoyable. She walked into the room but then came out to say, ‘Jasper, you can have the bed! I’ll sleep on the couch.”
“It’s not necessary.” The man gave it up to her. Willow had no choice but to get into bed, only to toss and turn continuously, having a hard time falling asleep. Just when she was finally about to drift off to dreamland, she was suddenly awakened by a somewhat forceful pat on the cheek. Startled, she opened her eyes to see Jasper’s large hand clapping over her mouth. He did so while putting his finger to his lips, signaling her to keep silent.
Immediately, Willow realized that something. was wrong. She quickly blinked her eyes and nodded to indicate that she would keep quiet; only then did Jasper release his hold on her. She pricked up her ears and listened. She vaguely heard what seemed to be cars outside. This is an extremely inconspicuous place surrounded by trash. Just who on earth could these cars belong to?
After waking her from sleep, Jasper walked over to the window to check the situation out there. There were two cars outside, but no one had gotten out of them, so he couldn’t make out who these people were. Willow’s nerves tightened involuntarily. Oh, my God! Don’t tell me those hitmen have come after us!
Just then, Jasper saw a bunch of people get out of those cars, and sure enough, they were none other than those hitmen. He gently lowered the curtain and strode into Willow’s room, signaling for her to come with him right away. Willow blinked her eyes. After that, she saw him pull at an inconspicuous object, upon which the whole wall turned around. Surprisingly, the back of the wall had all kinds of heavy weapons hung all over it.
At the sight of this, she nervously swallowed, feeling as if she were acting in some blockbuster film. Seeing how the man quickly and dexterously loaded a gun, she felt as though he were the male protagonist of the film -good-looking, stylish, and as cool as a cucumber.
Despite being in a life-and-death situation, she couldn’t help but praise in her heart, He’s so handsome! This guy is both handsome and stylish. Well, the bodyguards around me are all tall and big guys with extraordinary fighting skills, but they seem to lack the captivating charm he has that makes people fall in love with him.
Having taken everything he needed, Jasper turned the wall back around without leaving behind a trace. Following his hand gesture, Willow walked into a room that looked like a storeroom. The man lifted a curtain and removed a piece of wallboard from the inside, revealing a dark hole. He whispered to her, “Get in here.”
Willow blinked her eyes for a moment. There was no way to see anything in this pitch-dark grotto, but she nonetheless trusted him and got inside. Soon after that, the light behind her disappeared. She thought the man would come in as well, but then she looked back and was surprised to find that he didn’t come in at all. “Jasper! Jasper…” Panicked, she turned around to reach for the door, only to find that it had been sealed.
All at once, she realized that Jasper intended to face the danger alone and keep her protected here. For a moment, she was both moved and angry at the same time. How could this guy leave me here alone without even saying a word? And besides, isn’t he injured as well? How is he gonna deal with this?
Just then, she heard a loud explosion. It sounded like the door had been blasted open. She clapped her hand over her mouth. In the dark, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, not only out of fear but also out of anxiety and worry for the man.
It was in this darkness that she spent the most helpless time of her life. It felt like an eternity. She lost track of time in here, just listening to the gunfire outside. Her heart clenched again. and again. Every time it clenched, she felt suffocated, and her mind rambled with some fearful images that were all related to Jasper.
She wished she also had the ability to go out and deal with all of this to save the man, but she knew that doing so would only make her a burden on him. At this very moment, she counted the gunshots outside with her tearful eyes wide open. He’s still alive as long as the gunshots don’t stop, she thought. Every time a gunshot sounded, she felt as though it had hit her right in the heart.
At last, however, the gunshots stopped sounding for a long time. Nervously, she clutched her chest in one hand while clapping – the other hand over her mouth, fearing that she might scream in fear.
Just then, she heard footsteps approaching the grotto. In an instant, she had her heart in her mouth. Oh, God! Could those hitmen have killed Jasper? Are they coming after me now?
At this moment, Willow’s mind went completely blank. Just then, a strong light shone in, and she shrank into the darkness like a kitten being caught. However, when she heard a deep, familiar voice coming from the mouth of the grotto, her tears finally stopped.
“Come over here.” She crawled toward the mouth of the grotto The moment she got out of the grotto and saw Jasper’s face, she threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly around the neck despite her tear-stained face.
For a few seconds, Jasper froze in her sudden embrace, only to be stunned again when he felt her tears on his neck. She must’ve been scared out of her wits, he thought. Nevertheless, he pushed her away. “Come with me,” he said, leading her by the hand before suddenly covering her eyes with his other hand. “Don’t look around.”
Although Willow couldn’t see anything with his hand over her eyes, she could smell blood in the air. Swallowing nervously, she followed him out of the house.
As they breathed in the fresh air outside, the man’s large hand moved away from her eyes. Still, she struggled to open her eyes in the evening sun. After all, she had just spent nearly 20 minutes in complete darkness.
It was only 20 minutes, but it felt as long as half a century to her. Before she came to her senses, a muscular arm suddenly wrapped around her shoulders and pulled her into a car next to them. The man also thoughtfully fastened her seatbelt for her.
“Where are we going?” she asked. “This place isn’t safe anymore. We have to go somewhere else.” Jasper had to get her out of here. Seems like our internal system has been hacked into, which means that all the safe houses in this country have been exposed. We must choose somewhere else next.
“But where else can we go?” Willow had never imagined that she would find herself in such a dangerous place one day.
“Just follow me,’ said Jasper before he drove out of an alley into the main street. Soon after that, he drove into an affluent neighborhood. Willow had no idea what he was trying to find, but he soon found what he was looking for: a camper van.
Seeing his eyes fixed on the camper van, Willow immediately had a bad feeling. This guy’s gonna steal a car again. “Wait here for a minute. Just as she expected, Jasper opened the car door and got out.
She watched him walk toward the camper van before noticing that he was holding something in his hand that looked like a sensor. Then, to her surprise, the camper van actually started up. Seeing him drive it over to her, she decided not to waste his time. Well, extreme times call for extreme measures. If the camper van’s owner comes after us for this, I’ll have Dad recompense them doubly afterward.
Jasper drove the camper van some distance away before pulling over to the side of the road. Then, taking his laptop out of his backpack, he expertly keyed something into a program. Willow couldn’t make head or tail of what she saw, but she thought the man looked kind of handsome, as though he was capable of anything. “What are you doing?”
“Turning off the camper van’s internal tracking system,” replied the man with a tap on the keyboard. With that, the program quickly finished running, though there were other programs still running on his laptop.
It looks cool, though I don’t understand any of these, thought Willow. An involuntary smile curved her lips as she turned to look at the man beside her. Despite the numerous dangerous situations she had been in while being with him, this guy actually gave her a feeling of absolute security.
“Go check if there’s any food in the back,” said. Jasper to her. Unfastening her seatbelt, Willow opened the small door to the back trailer. After opening the fridge, she found it stuffed with water and food enough to last both of them a week. “The fridge is stuffed with food. Seems like this family was ready to go on a trip.” What’s more, this whole camper van is a mobile home, making it convenient for us to hide.
“Aren’t we gonna get caught for this?” asked Willow uneasily as she returned to the passenger seat. She had grown up being a good girl and a law-abiding citizen. Sitting in the stolen vehicle, she couldn’t help feeling at prick of conscience, because the camper van’s owner’s trip was now ruined thanks to them. “No, we won’t,” replied Jasper impassively.
“Why are you so confident of that?!” “I’ve hacked all the surveillance cameras along the way. The police can’t track us down.” That’s how confident I am, thought Jasper.
Willow’s beautiful eyes goggled with astonishment at his words. So, the program running on his laptop was to turn off the surveillance cameras along the way? Just what kind of stuff did this guy learn?
He’s got extraordinary fighting skills and such a high degree of intelligence. He’s got really good DNA! All of a sudden, the idea of stealing the man’s DNA sprang up in her mind. As soon as it crossed her mind, however, she blushed crimson with embarrassment. Pfft! How could I have such an idea?!
Just then, Jasper turned on the music, perhaps. because he thought it was stuffy inside the camper van. As the especially nerve-soothing music entered her mind, Willow watched the evening landscape flash past the window. It doesn’t feel bad to be on the run like this! As she kept watching, however, she drifted off to sleep, her head leaning against the window.
By the time she woke up, it was pitch dark outside the window. She had absolutely no ideal where she was; Jasper, who had been next to her, was nowhere to be found. “Jasper!” she called out his name in fright.
Just then, the door opened, and Jasper showed up immediately. “What’s wrong?”
Seeing the man, Willow couldn’t help but feel. somewhat embarrassed. She explained, “Nothing. I thought something happened to you just now. Where are we?”
“A wilderness, he replied. She involuntarily turned to look out the window, and sure enough, she saw tall, lush trees that covered the sky and obscured the sun. At this late hour, this scene looked kind of scary. However, her keen nose caught a whiff of cooked food, which she had been missing for a long time. Smells like some grilled steak.
She got out of the camper van and came to the tent next to it. The man was here, holding a frying pan and pan-frying an appetizing and tender steak. Not only that, it was complemented with all kinds of side dishes-just like the ones that one would eat in a steakhouse. “Wow! It smells so good!” She sat down with starry eyes while waiting to eat.
Jasper put a piece of grilled steak on her plate. Seeing knives and forks and a fruit dish next to them, Willow hungrily started eating, whereas Jasper joined her afterward. Just as she expected, the steak was delicious. She had eaten in the mountains before, but this was her first time eating alone like this with a man.
After they finished eating, Jasper said to her, “You get in first.”
