Chapter 1977
Presuming Jasper was upset with her, Willow apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t
know you were-” “I don’t me you.” After saying this, he looked up at her, and
when their gazes met, her face began to heat up..
“But I saw absolutely nothing!” she rified, puffing her cheeks. However, her
tone unintentionally conveyed disappointment, and he assumed that was what
she meant. Therefore, he couldn’t help but smirk and hum lightly, “What were
you expecting to see?”
After hearing this, Willow finally realized that her sentence sounded misleading,
so she waved her hands dismissively. “No, I wasn’t expecting anything. There is
nothing interesting to see anyway-”
There’s nothing interesting to see. That sentence itself caused Jasper’s
expression to be stone-cold. Has this woman seen others? Why else
would she sound so disinterested? A wealthy youngdy like her must have
plenty of pursuers, which means she might have been in multiple rtionships
before. His thoughts briefly strayed, and the bread he was toasting nearly
burned. Then, he immediately returned to attention, flipped the bread, and
looked up at her. “If you’re bored, go out for a walk! Come back for breakfast

prompting him to sigh and toast another two fresh slices. When she returned,
the te already had toasted bread slices on it. Then, she sat down, grabbed
one, and topped it with a sunny-side-up egg. lettuce, tomato slices, and a pat of
butter for a quick and nutritious breakfast.
On the other hand, the man served another two perfectly toasted slices in front
of her while he helped himself to the burnt ones. Then, he said, “I’ve managed
to contact your father’s men.”
After hearing this, Willow smiled and replied, “I’m not eager to return home
because I’m enjoying my time in the mountains!” However, Jasper nced at
her and said, “I have other tasks to attend to.”
Then, she bit her lower lip nervously, realizing she had wasted his time, and she
apologized, “I’m sorry.”
“I’m not ming you.” While saying this, he had no choice but to soften his tone.
After breakfast, Willow followed Jasper to a nearby stream to collect water, and
while she yed happily behind him, she eventually realized how tall he was.
His towering stature makes me feel even shorter than I already do, as my head
can only reach his shoulder when I wear my ts. I’m guessing this man is at
least six feet tall.
In the meantime, he had bought two buckets and went over to get water
because it was pure and clear mountain spring water, free of pollution from
urban industries.
Since the stones in the river were beautiful and smooth, she picked up a few to
y with, emting a child who had never grown up. Even though he had just
fetched the water, he remained nearby and watched as the girl collected stones.
At this time, Willow took off her shoes and stepped into the icy water. She was
reluctant to leave, so she looked up at Jasper and suggested, “Why don’t you
head back first? I’ll be here for a while.”
“No! You can’t leave my sight,” he refused. When she heard this, a warm feeling
arose in her chest, so she stopped ying and approached a stone beside him.
Nheless, when she stepped barefoot on it, she was unaware it was
unbnced. “Ah-” She waved her hand frantically, trying to regain her bnce,
but she was about to fall backward.
Without thinking, he reached out his long arm, caught her hand, and pulled her
close to his chest so that his arm was wrapped around her waist.
At the same time, Willow hurriedly held onto Jasper’s waist, her tiny face
bumping against his sturdy chest. She felt quite frustrated, realizing that
everything she did seemed to go wrong in front of the man, and she always
needed his care and assistance. What’s going on? This is not typical of my
behavior! Why do I always find myself in his embrace or arms following our
encounter? I swear I’m not intentionally causing trouble for him!
