Therefore, this made Willow’s accomplishments the most notable among the Top 10 OutstandingFigures of this year.
Around 10.00AM, with roughly ten minutes left until the commencement of the awards ceremony,Willow noticed that her parents, Jared, and Ellen had arrived whereas Jasper was absent.
A wave of disappointment surged within her. Didn’t he promise to come? Why isn’t he here?
There was no sign of him when the awards ceremony commenced and unfolded. However, at that verymoment, she felt a pair of eyes fixating on her around the corner. She couldn’t help but glance over.
Her surprise had no bounds when she did so. It turned out that a certain man who was dressed in apolice uniform was standing there staring at her and had successfully masked himself as a member oftoday’s security team. Her heart was immediately filled with profound emotion as their gazes met.
This man had always exuded a handsome charm regardless of his attire. The police uniform seemed tosuit him particularly well as it accentuated his righteous and awe-inspiring aura.
Willow was called upon to give a speech as the awards ceremony began. She made a brief speechwith graceful confidence, unfazed. In the audience, Elliot and Anastasia wore proud and delightedsmiles as they were overjoyed that they had raised such exceptional children.
After Willow finished speaking, she cast a sweet smile toward the corner of the room. “In addition toexpressing my gratitude to my teammates, I must also extend my thanks to one person. This taskwould have been impossible to accomplish without him. I hope he knows how important he has alwaysbeen to me.”
This statement bore a dual significance. Elliot finally understood what his daughter meant when hisgaze shifted to the corner. It seemed that certain things were quietly unfolding.

Jared applauded as he was so proud of his sister on this special day. She wasn’t just beautiful, but shealso appeared to have grown up. As the elder brother, he couldn’t help but feel delighted when hethought about how Willow, who had always seemed like a child, had grown up to this point!
“Willow is truly remarkable!” Ellen exclaimed sincerely.
“This girl has truly grown up,” Jared remarked with a sense of nostalgia.
After descending from the stage following the awards, Willow deliberately walked in the direction whereJasper was situated. Just as she was about to step down, she feigned a stumble, and the manstanding nearby swiftly reached out and grabbed her wrist to stop her from falling.
Willow nearly half-collapsed into his embrace. In a place where no one could see, a blossom ofemotion bloomed within her heart.
“Be careful,” Jasper muttered.novelbin
“I know!” Willow replied with a smile tugging at her lips. She then returned to her seat.
Willow’s mind seemed to be elsewhere throughout the commendation ceremony. She rose from herseat once again after handing the award to her father.
Jasper stood by the door as if he were a security guard. Willow walked over to his side. “Mr. Wyatt, areyou on duty?”
He was indeed occupied with his duties. He was here today to ensure the security of this ceremony.
Jasper turned his head slightly to look at Willow. She was dressed in an ensemble of muted gray andexuded a sophisticated elegance. With her hair gathered up, an air of maturity emanated from her. Herenigmatic beauty carried an effervescent vitality that was tantalizingly elusive, stirring a sense ofyearning within observers.
“Do I look good today?” Willow tilted her head to the side and looked at him with an endearing charm.
Jasper nodded in agreement and said genuinely, “You look stunning.”
“Do you like it then?” Willow asked with a wink.
He stared at her petite face, a suppressed intensity flickering in his eyes. He replied in a deep voice,“You should return to the ceremony.”
“Some of the credit for today’s honor goes to you, Jasper. The award should also belong to you,”Willow remarked since her achievements were built upon his efforts.
“You deserve it,” Jasper asserted.
Willow beamed. “Can I take that as you saying what’s yours is also mine? Oh, by the way, I told my dadthat there will be no celebration dinner tonight. I want to celebrate with you instead. Are you coming?”Willow invited him.
Jasper hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded. “Alright! My treat.”
She was overjoyed. “It’s a date, then. I’ll be looking forward to your plans!”
Willow returned to the ceremony happily. Jasper’s gaze turned tender, but it was also tinged with a hintof sorrow and resignation as he watched her leave.
When Jasper returned to his car, his phone rang. He answered the phone. “Hello.”
