“I don’t think you should involve yourself any further in this matter. I’ll handle it,” Jasper Milton said in a low voice.


    Ste Grace felt a little uneasy.


    She knew that Jasper was worried that she would be in danger, so he did not want her to be involved.


    However, she was not afraid of danger, nor was she afraid of death. Instead, she was worried that something bad would happen to Jasper.


    The thought of something awful happening to him made her eyes turn red. “Jasper,I promise that I would not run awayif something bad happens to you. We’ll face it together, okay?”


    “The difference between us is thatI can’t be dealt with by ordinary peoplewith my skills and abilities. However, if they decide to go after you, you will be an easy target.” Jasper said seriously.


    Indeed, she was powerless and she could not help him even if she wanted to.


    “I really don’t understand. Why do you like me? I have a bad temper and I’m don’t have any strengths. My character is unpleasant and I am hypocritical. A lot of weird things have happened to me too,” Ste lowered her head and pulled her seatbelt to vent her faint unhappiness.


    Jasper held her hand, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. “You don’t need a solid reason to like a person. You could fall in love in an instant. I only know that I think about you all the time and that I don’t see any other woman apart from you. You make me want to care for you, protect you and go crazy for you. Although I don’t know why, I know that this is love.”


    It was rare for Jasper to say such sweet words. He was quiet most of the time, but whenever he said such words, she felt extremely sweet in her heart.


    “Even though I could be defenseless at times, but I know thatnothing bad will happen to me aslong as you’re here.”


    “Didn’t you run into trouble on the ind at that time?”


    “That’s because you weren’t there with me.”


    “There will be times where I will not be able to protect you.” Jasper seemed to know what she was going to say and he stopped her from continuing.


    Ste’s lips twitched and she said, “I don’t want to be a woman who would only cause trouble everywhere and requires you to protect her all the time. I would like to fight side by side with you.”


    “There is a ce for you to fight by my side. Do you know who Mr. Welch, the man who had the meal with us earlier today, is?” Jasper asked.


    Ste shook her head and said, “How would I know? I don’t do business.”


    “He is the head of the Land nning Bureau of Floystream City, and the person next to him is the head of the Merchants Group,” Jasper exined.


    “Floystream City is surrounded by mountains. It is the poorest city in A country. Do they want you to develop in Floystream City?” Ste guessed.


    “Yes, they want me to help develop the city, but my purpose is to find the treasure.”


    “But, isn’t that treasure in Yale City?” Ste was surprised.


    “No, I found a lot of information, consulted experts,bined the unfinished diary, and finally found the correct address. It’s not in Yale City but Floystream City.”


    “We still have a lot of things to deal with. I think we should put this matter aside for the time being. We could deal with the treasure after we solve the urgent matter at hand.” Ste suggested.


    “We promised Timmy that we would find out those who were involved in the vige massacre and bring them to justice. Now all that’s left is the one big boss behind the scenes.”


    “Even if you find that treasure, you may not know who the big boss behind the scene is. On the contrary, you might get into a lot of unnecessary trouble. Jasper, you have enough trouble to deal with. Remember that Hale’s problem has not been solved yet.” Ste disagreed.


    “If I have the treasure in hand, I will have the chips to bargain with the big boss. We must know who he is before we could deal with him. Otherwise, we would have no clue at all.


    “I admit that your idea is right. It’s not that I refused to let you do this, but I think that our top priority now is to find out the true intention of that mission and find out who was the one who wanted to frame you. After solving these matters, we could then focus on the treasure. What do you think?” Ste asked in return. She felt that even if Jasper was truly capable, this was too much for him to handle at the same time.


    Jasper looked at Ste silently.


    Ste didn’t say anything but looked back at him quietly.


    “Okay, I promise not to focus on the treasure for the time being. It’s gettingte. Let’s go home first,” Jasper said in a low voice.


    Ste knew that it was not easy for Jasper topromise, so she did not press further.


    She drove home.


    On the way, she stole nces at Jasper.


    He was resting with his eyes closed. The lights from the streetmps flickered on his face, just like her mood at this moment.


    She had to think about it carefully and analyze all the possible oues. She could not afford to take the wrong step.


    An hour and a halfter, they arrived at the vi.


    When Ste parked the car, Jasper opened his eyes and looked at her. “Ste, you once told me that if you were to die, you would want me to live well, to live on your behalf, and toplete your unfinished dreams, right?”


    “Yes.” She did say these words to him. Jasper’s answer at that time was yes, and that they would talk about it in the future.


    “I promise you that, but I also have one thing that I want you to promise me,” Jasper said in a deep and serious tone.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Ste was uneasy.


    Jasper went on to say, “If I were to die, I hope that you could live well and live my behalf too. We still have Dante, and he needs your care. In the future, Dante will have children too. Dante’s children will also need your care, do you understand?”


    Ste’s eyes turned red in an instant. She couldn’t hold back her tears and they rolled down inrge droplets.


    Jasper had always been a confident person. When he encountered problems in the past, he would always ask her to believe in him, and that he would definitely be able to solve the problem.


    This time, it felt as though he was saying hisst words. This could only mean that he was uncertain that if he could handle the problems at hand.


    Ste felt sad and she said, “I’m not going to promise you that. If you die, I will apany you.”


    “We still have Dante,” Jasper persuaded.


    “Dante still has his adoptive parents,” Ste said willfully, and her tears fell even more fiercely.


    Jasper reached out and wiped her tears away. Ste flung his hand off and turned her face away. She wiped her tears, pushed the door open, and got out of the car.


    Jasper had no choice but to follow her out of the car.


    Ste walked to the door, turned her back to Jasper, and said, “If you die, do you think that I will have the ability to protect Dante? No, only you have the ability to protect him.”


    Jasper walked behind her and held her in his arms. He buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath.


    Ste felt that his body temperature was pouring into her body little by little, but she could feel that her body was still shivering. She turned around and looked at Jasper.


    “Ste, promise me, okay? If anything happens to me, I will send both of you away safely. No one will ever find you.” Jasper looked at her seriously.


    Ste pursed her lips stubbornly. Her tears, which had just stopped, started flowing again…
