The rustling of footsteps could be heard outside the window. Even though the skulkers were careful with their sounds, Jasper was
still alarmed. His eyes snapped open, the silvery moonlight shining on him. No, | shouldn't hurt anyone. Willow's team just cto
the island and they need to start work soon. He went to the window and waited for the invader to cin. The moment they
poked their heads inside, they had the scare of their lives.
The faint-hearted would have blacked out the moment they met Jasper’s gaze. The air around him was filled with murder, and he
glared at the thief. One look at his eyes, and the thief scurried away.
It was at that moment, Jasper was glad he calong, or even with the bodyguards standing sentry, he would still be worried. He
then looked at Willow. She was still fast asleep, oblivious to the near-invasion that happened.
Morning came, and Willow woke up. She saw Jasper on the couch with his elbow resting on the armrest, but he was sleeping.
Concerned, she got out of bed. Willow patted his face. “Get back to bed, Jasper.” She wanted him to get ssleep. He cwith
her at her behest, and now he was sleeping on the couch instead of the bed.
Jasper held her hand and slowly opened his eyes. He stared into her clean, beautiful eyes. Apparently, she had a good night's
sleep. “It’s all right. | had enough sleep.” Jasper went into the makeshift bathroom to wash himself up and then cback out a
moment later. “I'll be waiting outside.”
Willow's team texted her, saying they would be meeting an elder to talk about the ancient ship found in a cave on the island.
Willow changed into a long denim dress and cout. She looked perfect in every kind of clothing and blue lent her the look of a
mature woman.
Everyone had breakfast in the tent beside them. Willow had gone spelunking with her team members before, but this was a
different experience. Everything felt meaningful, and all because she had Jasper with them. He took care of her and tended to her
every single need, including but not limited to filling her plate with food and preparing her cutlery before she even asked.
Everyone was forced to watch this show of affection. They used to envy Willow for her family’s wealth, and now they envied her for
her luck in romance. She managed to get herself a handsome, powerful, and meticulous boyfriend who cared about her.

Jasper wasn’t being a simp either. He was genuinely caring. Willow was his whole world. Even though there were a few young and
fresh ladies on the team, none of them managed to even get a moment of his time. With Willow around, he couldn't care less
about any other woman.
After breakfast, they were led to the elder’s abode, and they brought a ton of gifts with them as well. With the guide being the
translator, they started a conversation.
Jasper was staring at the young man beside the elder. The lad was averting his gaze nervously, for he was the thief who tried to
invade Willow's room the night before.
When he saw Willow disembarking from the ship, he was attracted by her beautiful and regal looks. He had never seen any girl as
beautiful as her. That very snight, his desire flared, and he intended to stalk Willow's room, but before he could even get
close, a mysterious man was already waiting for him. One look at his eyes, and he scurried back to his room.
Now, that very sman was staring at him like a beast trying to tear its prey apart. Sheepishly, the lad left.
