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 breakfastter.”


    In the meantime, Willow felt that the atmosphere between them had be somewhat awkward, so


    she went outside to observe the wildflowers growing on the ground. She bent down and picked a few,


    creating a lovely bouquet as a present for herself.


    From inside the tent, Jasper could see her figure as she held a bouquet and admired it with a


    contented expression, resembling a child who hadn’t graduated from kindergarten. His gaze lingered


    on her for a few seconds before he snapped out of it, only to find that the bread had be slightly


    burnt, 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.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    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!
