“How about we consider our son William?”
“Ahem…” Jasper almost choked on her own saliva.
“I’m an old man, I don’t know how much longer I can hold on. What I’m most afraid of is that if I close
my eyes one day, our William won’t even have a girlfriend,” the old man sighed.
Jasper quickly said, “How could that be? William will definitely have a girlfriend!”
“Really?” The old Mr. Barlow’s eyes lit up.
Jasper then realized that her response just now sounded like she was saying she would be William’s
girlfriend to her grandfather!
However, facing the old man’s hopeful gaze, she could only force herself to say, “Really.”
“That’s good, that’s good. Then, when William has children in the future, I can close my eyes in peace,”
the old man said again.
Boom!
Jasper’s face turnedpletely red.
William quickly said, “Grandpa, that’s enough. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”
“Okay, I won’t say anything then,” said the old man, giving
his grandson a look that said “I’m helping you out.” This left William feeling both amused and
exasperated.
The old man was still sick, and before long he grew tired and
fell asleep.

Jasper and William left the hospital.
“Don’t pay attention to what Grandpa said earlier,” William
said.
“Um…about what I said to Grandpa earlier, actually…” She bit her lip, feeling a bit uneasy as she
considered what words to
use.
“I know you’re only saying this for your grandfather’s sake, and I won’t regret anything because of it. I’ll
continue to wait for you to think it through and give me an answer, but you don’t need to rush to
respond,” said William.
He didn’t want her to be with him just because she felt embarrassed or obligated. He wanted a lifetime
So, he didn’t mind waiting!
His words made her breathe a sigh of relief. He never seemed to pressure her.
“William, do you know? You’re like a spring breeze,” Jasper
said.
“The spring breeze?” He raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Yeah, it’s warm and gentle, won’t give people pressure, and being with you gives a veryfortable
feeling,” she said.
He chuckled, probably only she would feel this way.
His interactions with others were not like this.
“Let’s go have lunch first. We just got off the ne and haven’t eaten yet,” William said, checking the
time.
Although we had airne food on the flight, it’s already 2 PM now, so it’s more like afternoon tea than
lunch.
“Let’s go to Deer Tower!” Jasper suggested. It’s a well-known restaurant in Deer Capital that serves
local specialties. She visits Deer Capital every year and always eats at Deer Tower a few times.
“Okay,” William replied with a smile.
They arrived at Deer Tower and chose a table by the window.
Jasper doesn’t like to sit in a private room when shees here. She says it feels too stuffy and
prefers to eat in the lobby where she can look around and find it more interesting.
Jasper didn’t like going to the private room when they came here. She said it felt too stuffy to eat in
there, so she preferred to eat in the lobby where she could look around and find it
interesting.
William ordered the dishes, knowing Jasper’s taste very He ordered all the dishes she liked.

well.
After a moment, the dishes were served and Jasper was eating when she suddenly noticed William’s
gaze through the floor-to-ceiling window next to them, looking outside.
“What’s wrong? What are you looking at?” She followed his gaze outside, but there was nothing
special, just pedestrians, vehicles, and two elderly scavengers rummaging through the
trash cans.
“It’s nothing!” William quickly said. “Let’s eat, or the food will get cold.”
He lowered his head and started to eat, using it as a cover for
his current anxiety.
Jasper didn’t think much of it and continued eating.
