NovelEnglishUpon hearing the doorbell, Willow sighed and straightened Jasper’s collar while admonishing, “Be careful and
remember to text me. | want to know you're safe.”
Jasper nodded in assurance. Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Willow quickly tiptoed and planted a
kiss on his cheek. Then she grabbed her bag and slipped away like a sneaky cat making its swift exit.
Her bodyguards were already waiting outside when she opened the door, standing in formation. Willow walked
out like nothing had happened, carrying her bag, and said to the bodyguards,” Con, takehome.”
Once Willow and the bodyguards were out of sight, Jasper quickly stepped out as well. He pressed the elevator
button and went down to the underground parking lot. As he arrived, he saw Willow's bodyguard car just pulling
out. He swiftly got into his own car, starting it to follow the vehicle ahead.

After exiting the hotel, Jasper, who initially drove toward the safe house, suddenly changed his mind and
followed Willow's convoy of bodyguards. He couldn’t rest easy unless he saw her safely hat the Presgrave
Residence with his own eyes, but just then, his phone rang.
He put on his Bluetooth earpiece and answered, “Hello, are you out of danger?” Aimee’s voice cthrough,
“I've arrived at the safe house. Where are you?”
“I need a little more time.” “Hurry back, Jasper. If Wells’ henchmen can find me, they can surely find you too. If
you keep being with Miss Presgrave, you'll get her killed. Aimee spoke mercilessly. At that, Jasper hit the brakes
and pulled over by the side of the street amidst the drizzling rain. Her words sent a sharp pain in his heart.
Meanwhile, Willow’s convoy made a U-turn ahead, swiftly driving past from the adjacent street. From Jasper’s
vantage point, the three imposing black SUVS blocked his view, but he knew that without his protection, Willow
would be safer.
The call was still connected, and Aimee spoke from the other end, offering advice, “Jasper, if you want Miss
Presgrave to be safe, you have to stay away from her. You should know this better than | do.”
“I know. I'm coming back now.” Jasper shifted his gaze to the rearview mirror, his eyes more profound than
midnight. The tender feelings he had when he was with Willow seemed to be shrouded in a chill as rationality
and clarity. occupied his heart.
The black SUVs charged forward without hesitation, just like his resolute heart. In the safe house, Aimee sat on
the couch, watching him. She smiled, stood up, and greeted him, “You're back.” After speaking, she sized him up
as if searching for subtle traces of a woman on Jasper.
“Our people have found those weapons and are sending someone to destroy them. This should anger Bucky. He
wants both of us dead now. The organization thinks there's no need to keep this person alive. We are to stay
here and deal with these people,” Aimee said.

Jasper nodded, sat on the couch, and took his laptop. The first thing he hacked into was the surveillance of the
hotel where Willow was staying. When he saw that Bucky's men had indeed been to that hotel and had also been
outside Willow's room, a fierce ruthlessness flashed in Jasper’s eyes as he stared at the man appearing in the
video, his intent to kill strong.
At that, he went to the armory and opened a wall. After retrieving sequipment, he was off. “Where are you
going this time?” Aimee asked with a quirked brow, having observed all of this.
“To complete the mission.” Jasper was the type to let his actions speak for himself. Once he set his sights on a
target, he had complete confidence in eliminating them. So, those targeted by Jasper should feel fear and
tremble. “You're going alone?” She reached out to stop. him. “The organization wants us to act together.”
“You stay here and rest. Ill handle the mission.” “I want to go with you.” Aimee looked at him with worried eyes.
“I know you want to protect Miss Presgrave, but | also want to protect you.”
