While on their way back to the ship, their team leader solemnly told everyone to be on alert. “Not even


    the guide can be trusted. Some of our team members lost their luggage and phonesst night. Girls, do


    not stay in a room alone. I suggest that all thedies take up the cabins on the ship. Do not stay on the


    ind,” Jasper said.


    Willow whirled around to look at him. Did something happen while I was asleep?


    Winston nodded in agreement. “Mr. Wyatt is right. Ladies, from now on, you’ll be sleeping in the cabins.


    We’ll have patrols guarding the vessel. We have to stick together from now on. Do not let your guard


    down, and remember, this is just one stop in our journey. Once we find the ship and get our lead, we’ll


    leave this ind right away.”


    After the meeting, Jasper took Willow’s luggage. to the ship. Curious, Willow asked, “Did something


    happen after I fell asleepst night?”


    “No, Jasper answered. “Don’t lie to me. I know something happened, so tell me.” Willow turned him


    around and looked him in the eye.


    Jasper could control his expressions perfectly to the point he even fooled lie detectors before, but


    Willow’s gaze was more powerful than any lie detector, so he could never lie to her. “You saw the guy


    beside the elder we met just now? He tried to sneak into your roomst night.”


    “Huh?” Willow was shocked, then she tried to remember thatd standing beside the elder. She did


    notice his scary leer. Willow wrapped her arms around Jasper’s neck and looked up at him. “Good


    thing you were there, or I would have been in trouble.”


    Even without Jasper around, she would still have her bodyguards dealing with the invader, but she was


    d he was with him. That night, Willow slept in a cabin on the ship, while her bodyguards stood


    sentry, keeping everyone safe.


    Someone was standing near the ship, staring at the vessel. He was thed who had fallen for Willow.


    As if under a spell, he was driven by the desire to make Willow his, and he would make sure she never


    left the ind. He would make her his bride.


    Unable to sleep, Willow looked at Jasper, who was on a couch going through her notes event though


    he had already gone through it a few times. He’s so serious when he works. She pointed at the bed


    beside her. “Come here and sleep, Jasper.” He must not have slept wellst night.


    “I’m not sleepy.” Jasper looked at her and checked the time. It’s eleven. What’s she doing staying up?


    “I can’t sleep. I want to, since we’re going to search for the ship tomorrow.” Willow was frustrated as


    well. She couldn’t control when she fell asleep, and furthermore, she was, excited right now. “Can you


    tell me more about your past? I want to know more about you.” Willowy on the bed and rested her


    chin on her hands, staring at Jasper.


    “Nothing remarkable, really. Lived in the military for a long time going through the same training every


    single day. You won’t like how droll it is,” said Jasper calmly. “What about your folks?”


    “Dead. My uncle’s the only family I have left,” said Jasper. Willow sped her mouth shut with her


    hand. She regretted asking that question, and shel looked at Jasper apologetically. “Sorry.”


    ‘Don’t be. Nothing I can’t talk about.” Jasper didn’t want her to feel guilty about it. Willow shut her


    mouth and rested her chin on her hands again. “Can you tell stories then? Bedtime stories?”

    “Out of my depth.” Jasper shook his head. Amused, Willow chuckled. Of course, he didn’t know how to


    tell bedtime stories. I should let him off the hook now.
