Willow nodded. “I know. My dad said our family is facing some issues. I’ll follow the family’sarrangements.”
When they reached the entrance of the Presgrave Residence, Jasper couldn’t go in. So, Willow got outof the car and sat in a bodyguard’s car. Before leaving, she rolled down the window with a hint ofreluctance in her eyes.
Only after he watched the bodyguard’s car enter the Presgrave Residence’s courtyard did he turn hiscar around and leave.
Back at home, the atmosphere was pleasant. Willow’s father was playing with her nephew on thecouch. In the blink of an eye, the little guy had turned six months old and was incredibly adorable.
“Dad,” she called out and walked over to carry her nephew.
Of course, Elliot was well aware of who his daughter met tonight. He wasn’t worried about her beingwith Jasper.
This time, he had received the message too. Besides the Presgrave Family’s security team, thegovernment had also sent two skilled agents to help resolve the crisis.
The little guy liked his aunt very much and clung to her, not wanting to be put down. In the end, Willowtook him back to her room to play.
The next morning, when she woke up, it was already 9.30AM because she had stayed up late lastnight. She pushed open the door and came out. At home, she was used to being casual, so she simplyput on a loose, long T-shirt, letting her long hair fall comfortably. With a bare face, she went downstairs.
Still somewhat drowsy, she held onto the ivory-white staircase, yawning as she hummed a familiartune.
At that moment, she felt a gaze from the direction of the couch in the living room. Only then did Willowrealize that her father was meeting with guests in the living room. As she looked toward the guests, shefroze.
She was taken aback, unable to believe her eyes. The guest sitting across from her father was noneother than the man who had promised to meet her soon last night—Jasper, along with his colleague,Sirius.
Instantly, her face turned red with embarrassment, and without saying a word, she turned around andran back upstairs.
As Elliot watched his daughter, an affectionate smile tugged at his lips. “She’s used to being casual athome.”
“Miss Presgrave is really cute.” Sirius chuckled.
Meanwhile, Jasper’s lips also curled into a similar affectionate smile, but he didn’t say anything.
After returning to her room, Willow instantly snapped back to reality. She hurriedly ran into thebathroom, assessing herself once more. However, she still couldn’t shake off the feeling ofembarrassment.
Suddenly, she remembered Jasper’s words from last night, saying that they would meet soon. He didn’tbother telling me in advance that he’d be coming here today. That’s a bit infuriating.
She immediately went to her closet to find an outfit, applied makeup, and dressed up before headingdownstairs.novelbin
Meanwhile, downstairs, Elliot and Jasper had wrapped up their conversation.
At this moment, from the direction of the stairs, Willow descended in an elegant dress. As her gaze metJasper’s, she glared at him with a touch of annoyance. Yet, he maintained a serious expression,keeping his emotions hidden. He politely greeted her. “Good morning, Miss Presgrave.”
When Sirius turned his head and glanced at his colleague, he couldn’t help but feel happy for him.Gaining the favor of Miss Presgrave is truly a fortunate event for him.
Though irritated, Willow was still happy deep down. She greeted him back seriously. “Good morning,Mr. Wyatt.”
“Would you both stay for lunch?” Elliot invited.
“We’ll have to take a rain check. We have other matters to attend to. Please advise your family not togo out unless necessary during this period, Mr. Presgrave,” Sirius said.
“Understood. Thank you both for protecting the Presgrave Family.”
“You’re too kind,” Sirius replied humbly.
“I’ll see you off.” Willow seized the opportunity to see them out.
With a smile, Sirius picked up his phone. “I’ll make a call first.” With that, he walked out first.
Jasper turned back and politely bid farewell. “We’ll take our leave, Mr. Presgrave.”
“Willow, why don’t you see Jasper off?” Elliot purposely changed his address.
Hearing that, Willow felt a burst of joy. It seems Dad really likes Jasper. His address to Jasper has evenbecome informal.
As she escorted Jasper out, her nerves were taut. She looked at him with worry. “Please be careful.The people attacking our family this time aren’t ordinary.”
