Arriving by Willow’s side of the bed, he squatted down, coming within half an arm’s length with the sleeping face. His gentle gaze swept over her face, looking at her delicate cheeks, defined features, and fair, delicate skin. Her lips were beautifully plump and had an alluring charm that made him want to kiss her.
This young woman was probably here to punish him. She was punishing him for disappearing for several days and didn’t respond to her calls right after returning.
With a bitter smile, Jasper thought such a punishment was torture to him. He wanted to kiss her but refused to disturb her sleep. After all, he could see that she had lost some weight and felt sorry for her.
Pulling the covers away from the other side of the bed, he got in and reached over to pull the young woman into his embrace. In the meantime, Willow was also having a great dream. She and Jasper had gotten married and were accepting blessings from the guests.
As Willow was pulled into a warm embrace, she couldn’t help but smile.
Looking down at her, Jasper couldn’t restrain his emotions any longer. He leaned in and gently kissed her red lips.
That night, she drifted off to sleep, leaving a particular someone in distress. Even with his beautiful girlfriend in his arms, he struggled to calm his racing heart and control his breathing, not wanting to disturb the woman he held close.
He stayed awake until 2.00AM, and his restless energy kept him awake until dawn.
In contrast, Willow enjoyed a restful night’s sleep and pleasant dreams. When she awoke, the morning light bathed the room. As she raised her head, she was met with bloodshot eyes. She blinked and asked, “Didn’t… Didn’t you sleep last night?”
“I did,” Jasper replied hoarsely.
“But your eyes are so red!” She expressed concern and began to get up. Suddenly, he pulled her into a tight embrace. “Stay with me a little longer,” he whispered, burying his face in her shoulder before drifting off to sleep.
Willow froze instantly and stole a brief glance at Jasper. His eyes were closed, his long, dense eyebrows covering his eyelids. She couldn’t help noticing his straight nose, slightly pursed thin lips, and finely defined jawline.
Suddenly, Willow’s feet went numb, and as she tried to move, she inadvertently touched something firm. Instantly, her face flushed red, even her ears burning.
Without opening his eyes, he gently warned her, “Don’t move.”
Willow felt unfairly accused because it wasn’t her intention. Reluctantly, she stopped moving and lay still, waiting. Eventually, she heard Jasper’s breathing become steady, indicating that he had fallen asleep. That’s when she realized he had not slept a wink last night.
While she hadn’t done the deed with anyone, she wasn’t entirely clueless either. She understood the signs of desire between men and women. Therefore, sleeping in his bed last night had likely cost him a night’s sleep. Oh, no! What have I done? Despite this realization, an inexplicable sense of anticipation bubbled within her.
She wasn’t rushing to get out of bed, so she allowed the man to embrace her while he slept. Surprisingly, he didn’t weigh her down with his body. When his breath brushed against her neck, it sent shivers down her skin, making her consider shifting positions. Yet, the man unexpectedly drew even closer.
At that point, Jasper was so near that Willow’s senses were sent into a frenzy. Her eyes widened in amazement as she thought, Even in his sleep, he can… This can’t be real!
With a nervous gulp, she found the sensation unsettling. She hesitated to move, realizing this might be why he had been reluctant to share a bed with her. It must have been too much for him.
As her thoughts spiraled, she began to sweat, the rated thoughts making her increasingly anxious. After enduring this for more than ten minutes, she quietly slipped out of bed, moving like a graceful cat. She couldn’t withstand the heat radiating from his body and the increasingly wild thoughts in her mind.
Willow reached for her phone, discreetly and smugly taking pictures of the sleeping man from various angles. Once satisfied, she settled onto the couch outside to admire her collection. It felt like a secret possession, something she couldn’t bear to share with others, a testament to the handsomeness of her future husband.
Meanwhile, Jasper rarely enjoyed such deep sleep. Lately, he had been relying on medication to help him rest, often staying awake throughout the night. Consequently, he was now in a profound slumber.
Having been through so much in this country recently, an idea struck her—she wanted him to accompany her on a holiday abroad. After all, she was not rushed to get married anyway.
Willow thought, What truly matters is love, not an official document. Then, she texted Anastasia and shared her plans for a vacation. Anastasia supported her daughter’s holiday idea but suggested they go to the family’s private island to ease her worries about them traveling too far. After careful consideration, Willow agreed with her mother. After all, she craved an escape from the city’s bustle and a chance to embrace peace and quiet.
Meanwhile, Jasper woke up around 1.00PM, feeling an unusual sense of peace as he gazed at the young woman’s silhouette on the couch. For once, he had no rush to return to sleep or urgency to leap out of bed. It was because he knew the woman he loved would never leave him.
After he had changed his clothes and emerged from his room, she approached him. “Did you get enough sleep?”
Jasper kissed Willow’s forehead and replied, “Have you eaten?”
She shook her head. “Not yet. I was waiting for you.”
Looking at the time, he said, “I’ll order some food.”
Once lunch was brought over, she began outlining her plans for an island vacation. He looked at her affectionately. “My time is entirely yours now. Wherever you are is where I want to be.”
A warm smile curved on Willow’s lips. “Great. Then, we’ll pack our luggage this afternoon. Remember to pack extra clothes and necessities because we’ll be there for half a month.”
“Sure.” Jasper nodded.
Looking at what he usually wore, she thought the man must not own many casual clothes, and most of his clothes must have been given to him by his organization. Although his body was perfect in every way, she had begun enjoying the process of dressing him up.
“Shall we head to the mall?” Willow suggested.
Though Jasper had a feeling he might regret it, he nodded nonetheless.
That afternoon at the mall, he had indeed become her model. While she selected outfits, he tried them on in the dressing room, and they left the store with bags of various sizes.
Her shopping spree was in full swing. Though not a shopaholic, her feminine instinct was hard to restrain, and she shopped relentlessly for two hours.
When they returned to the car, Jasper’s SUV was loaded with bags containing clothes, shoes, pajamas, and various necessities. Willow had undoubtedly made quite a haul.
“Want to stop by the supermarket?” she asked, linking her arm with him.
He looked at her without uttering a word, but she was already guiding him toward the supermarket. Before long, he trailed behind her, pushing a shopping cart while she leisurely picked out her preferred snacks.
Suddenly, Willow paused in front of a row of shelves. When she saw the delicate wrappers, she initially assumed they were candies. Then, she looked up and quickly realized her mistake. The sign above her read, “Family Planning.” Her cheeks flushed, but she composed herself and began studying the products. She had never bought such items before.
Jasper had noticed her initial mistake and expected her to walk away. To his surprise, she seemed genuinely interested, crossing her arms and focusing on the products with a serious expression. “Why are you looking at these?” he whispered.
“I’m just looking. I’m not a child anymore, so can’t I browse?” She pouted slightly and picked up a box before handing it to him. “Are these good?”
He was left speechless and thought, Does she think I’ve used this before? Unfortunately, he had no expertise in this area whatsoever.
Then, Willow noticed the box she handed Jasper was size S and sheepishly returned it to the shelf. “That’s not the right size for you.” She quickly grabbed the largest size available and added it to the shopping cart as if it were a hot potato. Then, feeling like it wasn’t enough, she selected two more boxes from different brands before finally urging him to leave. “Let’s go!”
He nearly burst into laughter, wondering why she was so discreet about it.
Blushing, she was too embarrassed to look at him. So, she pushed him toward the checkout counter and said, “You pay the bill. I’ll wait for you outside.”
Willow felt quite embarrassed about the situation. She couldn’t help but wonder if anyone else had noticed their purchase of so many of those items. The thought of others giving them strange looks made her cringe with embarrassment.
After a short while, Jasper finished paying the bill, but Willow remained far away. He approached her with the shopping bags, affectionately ruffled her hair, and held her hand as they left the supermarket.
Once they got in the car, the Presgraves had already arranged for Willow’s luggage to be sent ahead so she and Jasper could head to the docks immediately and set sail for the island that night.
