Just then, Jasper’s phone rang. After checking the caller ID, he answered it. “Hello?” “Jasper, where
are you?” It was Aimee on the other end.
“What’s the matter?” “I want to know where you are,” she requested again. “I don’t need to report my
whereabouts outside of work, Aimee,” Jasper said solemnly.
“You’re with her, aren’t you?” Aimee questioned, making Jasper frown. Meanwhile, Aimee continued,
“Jasper, if you really like her, you should stay away from her and not move closer.”
“Aimee!” “Don’t let her be your weakness,” Aimee warned and hung up the phone. As Jasper held
his phone, Willow, behind him, stared at him. ‘Are you leaving?” she asked worriedly at the sight of his
sudden grimness.
At that, Jasper turned around to look at Willow, and his countenance indeed expressed his inclination
to leave. Panicked, she rushed to him and grabbed his sleeve,manding, “Your better not.”
Jasper’s brows rxed a bit, and he looked at Willow, his voice hoarse. “Alright, I won’t leave tonight.”
Only then did Willow smile. It was already 3.00AM, and dawn would arrive if they stayed up a little
longer.
Willow was wide awake at this point, and the thunder and lightning were gone, reced by pouring rain
outside the window. There was something magical about rainy nights. It would make people drop their
guard and follow their hearts and instincts.
Willow went to grab a bottle of red wine and poured two sses. She looked up at the man standing by
the floor-to-ceiling window. There was something superior and dominating about him, and his silhouette
was truly captivating. Willow approached him. Wearing t shoes, she only reached his jawline.
For a moment, the figures by the floor-to-ceiling window, the man was strong and sturdy, resembling a
towering mountain, unyielding, while the girl was slender and delicate, in need of protection.

Willow leaned her head against the man’s shoulder, pretending to be unsteady. The man naturally
pulled her into his arms, and his gaze fell upon her.
Willow was like a mischievous child who had yet to grow up in front of Jasper, using all her tricks and
strategies on him.
Never had it urred to her either that a man would bring out this side of her in her lifetime. After all,
she had always projected an independent andpetent image before meeting Jasper, traveling alone
around the world to carry out cultural heritage conservation work. However, after meeting Jasper, she
turned into a helpless and fragile. damsel.
Meanwhile, Bucky wasshing out in the hotel. He hadn’t expected to be targeted by the special ops,
and they had even taken away a batch of his live authorization codes. Now, his batch of goods was
also being targeted.
“F*ck Bucky was the type who sought revenge. He was determined to get back at those who toppled
him; otherwise, he would be ridiculed by his fellow evildoers.
“Find out who those two were. I want them dead!” Bucky ordered his subordinates. Bucky’s
subordinates weren’t simpletons either. They possessed more advanced technology and information
systems. Soon, they captured footage on their screens. The first person captured was a woman driving
a car. Although. the image was not clear, her features were memorable at first nce.
However, the man in the back seat of the SUV was just a blurry figure. These people immediately
started tracking the car’s movements and finally captured a photo of the man at the exit of an
underground parking lot in a hotel.
The man in the photo had a memorable face, and his expression seemed contemtive, giving a
sense of deep mystery. “We found them, sir! It’s these two. We also found a record of their stay in this
hotel. We have been under their surveince for a while.”
Bucky also recognized the two of them at a nce. He sneered, “It’s them. I underestimated the
abilities of these agents.”
