The rustling of footsteps could be heard outside the window. Even though the skulkers were careful
with their sounds, Jasper was still rmed. His eyes snapped open, the silvery moonlight shining on
him. No, I shouldn’t hurt anyone. Willow’s team just came to the ind and they need to start work
soon. He went to the window and waited for the invader toe in. The moment they poked their
heads inside, they had the scare of their lives.
The faint-hearted would have cked out the moment they met Jasper’s gaze. The air around him was
filled with murder, and he red at the thief. One look at his eyes, and the thief scurried away.
It was at that moment, Jasper was d he came along, or even with the bodyguards standing sentry,
he would still be worried. He then looked at Willow. She was still fast asleep.. oblivious to the near-
invasion that happened.
Morning came, and Willow woke up. She saw Jasper on the couch with his elbow resting on the
armrest, but he was sleeping. Concerned, she got out of bed. Willow patted his face. “Get back to bed,
Jasper.” She wanted him to get some sleep. He came with her at her behest, and now he was sleeping
on the couch instead of the bed.
Jasper held her hand and slowly opened his eyes. He stared into her clean, beautiful eyes. Apparently,
she had a good night’s sleep. “It’s all right. I had enough sleep. Jasper went into the makeshift
bathroom to wash himself up and then came back out a momentter. “I’ll be waiting outside.”
Willow’s team texted her, saying they would be meeting an elder to talk about the ancient ship found in
a cave on the ind. Willow changed. into a long denim dress and came out. She looked perfect in
every kind of clothing and blue lent her the look of a mature woman.

Everyone had breakfast in the tent beside them. Willow had gone spelunking with her team. members
before, but this was a different experience. Everything felt meaningful, and all because she had Jasper
with them. He took care of her and tended to her every single need, including but not limited to filling
her te with food and preparing her cutlery before she even asked.
Everyone was forced to watch this show of affection. They used to envy Willow for her family’s wealth,
and now they envied her for her. luck in romance. She managed to get herself a handsome, powerful,
and meticulous boyfriend who cared about her..
Jasper wasn’t being a simp either. He was genuinely caring. Willow was his whole world. Even though
there were a few young and freshdies on the team, none of them managed to even get a moment of
his time. With Willow around, he couldn’t care less about any other woman.
After breakfast, they were led to the elder’s abode, and they brought a ton of gifts with them as well.
With the guide being the trantor, they started a conversation.
Jasper was staring at the young man beside the elder. Thed was averting his gaze nervously, for he
was the thief who tried to invade Willow’s room the night before.
When he saw Willow disembarking from the ship, he was attracted by her beautiful and regal looks. He
had never seen any girl as beautiful as her. That very same night, his desire red, and he intended to
stalk Willow’s room, but before he could even get close, a mysterious man was already waiting for him.
One look at his eyes, and he scurried back to his room.
Now, that very same man was staring at him like a beast trying to tear its prey apart. Sheepishly, the
lad left. Willow gave the elder some consumables in exchange for a chance to investigate the cave. At
the same time, she and her team noticed that the people of this ind had dark ideas for them.
