Female Novel
Chapter 2029
The seas were slightly turbulent at night, so the ship was not the best place to rest. Willow packed herthings up and turned around only to almost crash into the guy behind her, but she was delighted.“You’re back!”
“Yeah. I’m here to help you with your luggage.” Jasper looked at her gently.
Willow felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She loved that he cared about her so much. Jasper took allher luggage aside from her little backpack. They set up camp at a spot that was clean and where thewalls of the mountain would block out any winds.
The team members and bodyguards were setting up their tents as well.
Johanna came over and asked, “Miss, it can be dangerous at night. Should I stay in the same tent asyou?”
Willow blinked. She knew Johanna well, but when it came to sleep, Willow had a habit of not sharing abed unless she acknowledged them enough to even hug them without any reservations. Aside from herfamily, there was only one person who fit the bill right now.
She turned her sights to Jasper, who was helping out, and her face turned red. She said, “I-I’d like tostay with Mr. Wyatt, Johanna.”
Johanna was surprised. The head of the Presgrave Family did allow them to be in the same room, butnot in a tent. That was a lot smaller than a room. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, miss. The tent’s a bitsmall.”
“I don’t mind.” Willow stared at Jasper, wondering how she could convince him into sharing a tent withher.
Johanna looked at the young lady. It was obvious Willow only had eyes for Jasper, and she sighed.He’s so lucky. This is the first time I’ve seen her have so much affection for a man. “Then I’ll—”
Willow stopped her. “No. Don’t tell Dad about it. Do not notify him about my plan, and keep this asecret,” said Willow imperiously. If her father were to know of this, he would stop her at all costs.novelbin
“But…”
“No buts. You’re with me now, so you’re going to listen to me,” said Willow. “And Jasper’s a gentleman.He won’t do anything to me.” The other way around, however… She did it before back then—shehugged him all she wanted. He was the only one she was willing to share a tent with.
Johanna nodded. I’ll have to make sure a few of us get a tent beside them. If Jasper tries anythingfunny, we’ll kill him.
Twelve tents were set up a while later, and then the members started talking about who would getwhich tent. The ladies would share tents, while the men would talk about tent-sharing with other guysthey got along with. It was then Winston realized Willow was still quiet. Given her special status, heknew she wouldn’t share a tent with anyone. He pointed at a tent. “That one’s yours, Willow. You cantake it all for yourself.”
“But I don’t want to stay by myself. I’d be scared. I need someone to share a tent with,” she said.
“Hm, so who do you have in mind?” Winston asked curiously. Must be a lady or her bodyguard.
“Him.” Willow pointed at Jasper.
Shocked, Winston looked around, but there were no ladies around Jasper. So that means she wantsJasper to stay with her? “That can’t do, Willow. Mr. Wyatt is a guy. It’ll make things awkward,” Winstonsaid.
Willow smiled and looked at Jasper. “Care to share a tent with me?”
