Upon hearing those words, Willow was stunned for a few moments, and her eyes widened withhappiness as she glanced at her father. “Dad, so I take it that you approved of our relationship?”
How can I not agree? They had even devised a fake engagement ceremony, so if I keep disagreeing,this daughter of mine might cause an even larger commotion.
“Willy, Jasper hasn’t eaten anything yet. Bring him out for a meal at a restaurant,” Elliot instructed hisdaughter. It was also a chance for them to spend some time together. Willow happily grabbed Jasper’shand and said, “Let’s go. I’ll bring you somewhere with nice food.”

Anastasia watched them leave and said to her husband, “How did it go?”
“Jasper has decided to retire from the military for Willy’s sake. From now on, he won’t have to go ondangerous missions anymore. I believe he will be able to bring happiness to Willy.”
Anastasia also had faith in her daughter’s taste, and after finding out Jasper was even willing tosacrifice his life for Willow, she and Elliot felt assured to leave their daughter in his hands.
In the meantime, Willow felt relieved while sitting in Jasper’s car. She turned to the man beside her andpleaded, “Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, don’t ever disappear from my sideagain and leave me alone. Okay?”
Jasper’s deep gaze fell onto her face. “I promise.”
She recalled a restaurant with great privacy and gave him the address. Then, they headed for thatrestaurant.
Once they arrived, they chose a quiet room and ordered their food. The room seemed particularly cozyand comfortable.
Jasper insisted that Willow sat on the couch. When she touched his ear, he understood that she wasfeeling distressed for him, so he held her hand and gazed at her gently. “I’m fine. Don’t worry aboutme.”
After leaning into his embrace and snuggling into his chest, Willow felt a great sense of security.Besides her father and older brother, Jasper was the man she felt the safest with. It was as though shehad the courage to go against the entire world whenever she stood beside him.
Jasper rubbed her head and lightly kissed her hair, breathing in the faint floral scent on her body.Whenever he thought about the day of the rescue, he would still feel frightened. Every time he thoughtabout it, his body would tense up, and he would feel chills run down his spine. If he hadn’t succeededin stopping Calvin at the last moment, the destructive bomb would explode right beside her.
