Willow was already blushing, but now her face turned even redder. Her pride couldn’t handle it. She bit
her lip and said, “I-I didn’t say I like you.”
“It’s best if you don’t.” Jasper kept his gaze forward, his deep eyes revealing no emotions. However,
Willow could tell that what he said was what he truly felt. In other words, she had misunderstood things.
Willow felt her chest rise and fall with anger. She never expected that the strongest feeling of defeat in
her life woulde from this man. It made her start to doubt herself. Was she really that unlikable?
Thinking about it, she realized that she had caused him quite a bit of trouble, which could be why he
didn’t like her. He only protected her because of the pressure exerted by her father. Otherwise, he had
no reason to protect someone of no value.
Willow pouted and looked out of the window. At that moment, the man turned his head to look at her for
a few seconds, without her notice. The ss reflected her expression, resembling that of a sulking
child.
The man’s gaze narrowed slightly, then he looked at the navigation map, which showed that they were
only 35 minutes away from their destination. “Let’s y a song to listen to! It’s so dull,” Willow said,
feeling embarrassed and bored.
Jasper yed a song, and the atmosphere improved slightly. Willow’s eyes were trained on the
scenery outside the window moving backward, but her mind was filled with memories of the series of
events she had experienced with Jasper. As she thought about it, she realized that a strong sense of
reluctance grew within her. But she had to suppress it and not show it, otherwise, it would only make
her feel more embarrassed. He didn’t value her feelings, and if she voiced them, it would only be a
joke.
The journey went smoothly without them even encountering a single traffic light. Jasper’s driving speed
wasn’t fast, nor was it slow. Willow nced at the time on the navigation, and there were only 20
minutes left. For the first time, she wished the road was longer..
“Jasper, will you remember me in the future?” Willow took the opportunity to ask him. “I have a lot of
work to handle every day, so might not remember anyone,” the man replied.

“Then let me give you my phone number! If you’re not busy or have free time, you can call me. We can
chat or something. What do you think?” Willow’s big eyes were filled with anticipation. This should be
enough, right?
“I don’t have time nor leisure to chat. The man cut off the conversation directly. Willow red at him,
crossed her arms, and turned her face away. “Fine! No contact then. I don’t care.”
It was clearly a statement dered in anger. Jasper’s car got closer and closer to the destination.
Finally, on a road, they saw the Presgrave Family’s convoy-there were at least six bodyguard cars.
Jasper’s car was recognized, and a bodyguard gestured for him to drive into the parking lot of a nearby
building.
The car came to a stop, and a bodyguard came over and opened the door, weing Willow. “Miss
Presgrave, please step out.” Willow sat in the car and looked at the man opposite her, then shifted her
body and got out of the car.
“Willow.” A tall and dignified figure quickly emerged from the nearby car. Willow saw her father’s
majestic figure and rushed toward him. “Dad!” Jasper, seeing this, also pushed open the door and
greeted Elliot. ‘Mr. Presgrave, I have safely. delivered Miss Presgrave. I should be going now.”
“Wait,” Willow called out, stopping him. “Jasper, aren’t you injured? Why don’t youe with us?”
Jasper shook his head. “No need; it’s just a minor injury.” After saying that, Jasper turned around and
left. Willow called out to him in concern, “Hey!”
Elliot, being perceptive, immediately directed his deep gaze toward the young man who had gotten into
the car. At the same time, he reached out and held his daughter’s shoulder, saying, “Willow, Mr. Wyatt
still has work to do. Don’t bother him anymore.”
“But… Dad!” Willow felt a little anxious because she knew that Jasper’s injury still hadn’t fully healed.
