He couldn’t break the rules, and the guards’ residence was located right beside the house, making it easier for him to protect Willow. “With my status, I can’t stay in your house. I’ll see you later,” he said, carrying his luggage as he left.
As she watched his departing figure, she bit her red lips. I want close protection, not him staying in the guards’ residence.
Seeing that, Ellen came forward to comfort her. “Don’t rush things, Willow. His status may make it challenging for him to stay here.”
Willow nodded and could only say, “Right. At least we can still see each other every day.”
“He’s really good. I believe Mom and Dad will like him,” Ellen said.
Encouraged by this, Willow asked, “Do you really think so?”
“Be patient. If it’s meant to be, it will be.” Ellen reassured her. She could see that Jasper also liked Willow. A love like this, when both sides are fond of each other, will surely have a happy ending. I’m speaking from experience.
Willow had no choice but to stay patient. No matter what, I need to get through this family crisis first. He must be under a lot of pressure now too.
With Jasper not far away, she felt much more at ease. She was currently studying the information about the cultural relics that were brought back, as this batch of artifacts held significant research value.
During dinner time, Jared returned home. He first hugged his precious son and then embraced his wife. They were his motivation for working hard. Meanwhile, Willow, on the sidelines, was forced to watch this lovey-dovey moment.
“Willow, I heard Dad say that Mr. Wyatt is staying in our house. Make sure to behave and listen obediently,” Jared said to his adorable younger sister.
With a smile, Willow replied, “When am I ever not obedient?”
Of course, he knew his younger sister liked Jasper. To be honest, he also admired him. If I can get him as my brother-in-law, I’ll be at ease. Willow will have someone caring for her and protecting her.
He needed to carefully assess the choice of his brother-in-law. After all, he had doted on his sister since she was young. If he couldn’t entrust her to the right person, he wouldn’t approve. Fortunately, his sister had good taste. She had set her sights on someone as strong as Jasper, which made things easier.
“Jared, Ellen, enjoy your dinner. I’m going out to clear my mind,” Willow said.
Hearing that, Jared chuckled. “Are you sure you’re not going to find Mr. Wyatt?”
“Since you know, can you not expose me?” She blushed and smiled shyly.
Then she walked out into the yard of her house. From here, there was a corridor leading specifically to the accommodation for nannies, maids, and bodyguards. She used to rarely take this path, but tonight she seemed unusually delighted.
Arriving at the guards’ residence, she was met with a startled guard who quickly asked, “Miss, is something wrong?”
“No, no, everything’s fine. I’m looking for someone,” she replied before inquiring. “Where does the new guard live?”
“He’s in the last room.” The guard pointed her the way.
After a nod, she headed straight to that last room. She knocked on the door, and footsteps sounded from behind it. When the door opened, it revealed a perfectly sculpted figure that was almost 95 percent exposed, from head to toe, unabashedly in full view before her eyes.
Shocked, she widened her beautiful eyes, unsure where to look for a moment. Of course, her eyes did have their thoughts, and they directly landed on that undisclosed 5 percent of his body.
Likewise, the man was momentarily stunned. He swiftly grabbed a towel from the nearby rack to cover his lower half.
“Why are you here?” Jasper was a bit flustered. She really came without any warning.
Jasper had thought it was Ricky, the head of the security team, because Ricky had mentioned earlier in the afternoon that he would come over in the evening to discuss the security of the house.
As Willow looked at him, her large eyes blinked, and she bit her red lips. “I came to look for you.”
After she said that, her face remained rosy, but she confidently stepped into his room. The accommodations for the Presgrave Family’s guards were very good. This was a suite-style apartment that was decorated luxuriously. The facilities here were also comprehensive. Being a guard for the Presgrave Family not only came with a high salary but also perfect benefits.
At this moment, she sat down on the man’s couch while he headed into his room. When he came back out, he was fully dressed.
“Is it comfortable staying here? If you need anything, just let me know,” she said. As the host of the house, she wanted to take care of him.
“I don’t need anything. You shouldn’t wander around late at night.”
“This is my house. Can’t I come out to my own house? I’ll be bored to death otherwise,” she pouted and complained.
At her words, he thought, That makes sense. She usually likes to run around, but now she has to be stuck at home. It’s indeed a bit difficult for her.
Rising to her feet, she surveyed his apartment suite, observing that he possessed only a small collection of personal attire, along with his computer and unfamiliar gadgets.
“Let’s make a deal, Jasper. If I get kidnapped, don’t risk your life to save me,” she suddenly said as she looked at him.
Though she was just speaking hypothetically, his heart skipped a beat. He reached over and tapped her head, saying, “Don’t talk nonsense. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
“I’m just saying if…”
“No ‘ifs.'”
“I was just giving an example.”
“Don’t give any.”
His tone was resolute in stopping her. She blinked but still argued, looking at him seriously. “In the scenario I said earlier, you have to follow my words.” If something happened to him, I’d be tormented for a lifetime as well. So, if it came down to that, I don’t want him to save me.
With a deep gaze, he looked at her. “To me, as long as my target is still breathing, I will not give up on the rescue.”
“You…” Willow looked at him, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
Seeing that, Jasper reached out and gently touched her cheek, wiping away the teardrop that was about to fall. “Don’t be so pessimistic. Trust me. I’ll keep you safe.”
She reached out and hugged his neck, burying her face in his shoulder. “Okay, both of us have to stay safe then.”
Her warm tears fell onto his skin, causing his heart to race. He reached over, rubbed the back of her head, and softly kissed her in her hair.
When she raised her small face from his shoulder, her eyes glistened with tears, making her appear charming and alluring. Yet this caused the man’s breathing to hitch.
As she gazed at his sexy and tempting lips, her arms wrapped around his neck, and her rosy lips landed on his.
However, she wasn’t very experienced at kissing, and her tender and rosy lips didn’t quite know what to do. It was more like a peck. At this moment, his gaze had become particularly dangerous and dark.
He reached over and pulled her into his embrace. With his hand gently holding the back of her head, he leaned down and kissed her lush, cherry-red lips. The kiss was soft and sweet, like cotton candy, making him lose control.
