Willow got into the passenger seat and Jasper immediately started the car,
driving out of the forest. Those people just now were locals. If they didnât leave
here quickly, they would likely be surrounded by those people.
Sure enough, the four thugs returned to the village and immediately gathered a
group of people for revenge. However, when they arrived, the car had already
left. Even so, they still gathered more people and started to chase after them.
Fortunately, Jasper acted quickly, and those people couldnât catch up with them
in the end. As Jasperâs car drove on a road twenty kilometers away, his phone
rang. He glanced at it and swiped the phone to answer, âHello!â
âWhere is my daughter?â a stern male voice came from the other end. âMr.
Presgrave, please wait a moment,â Jasper said and handed the phone to
Willow, who was in the passenger seat. âItâs your dad.â
Willow smiled and took the phone. âHello, Dad.â âAre you okay? Did you get
scared? I will come and pick you up right away.â Elliotâs worried voice came
through. âDad, Iâm fine. Iâm doing well!â
âGood. In another half an hour, youâll see me.â Elliot then continued, âPass the phone back to him.â Willow handed the phone back to Jasper. By then, Jasper
had already parked the car on the side of the road as he answered, âHello, Mr.
Presgrave.â
âMr. Wyatt, my subordinate will send you the address. Please bring my daughter
here now.â
âOkay,â Jasper responded.
âThank you!â
âYouâre welcome.â After hanging up the phone, Jasper turned to the girl next to
him before breathing a sigh of relief. As long as she returned to her family, she
would be safe, they wouldnât have to flee for their lives anymore.
For a while, the atmosphere inside the car became somewhat heavy. An
unexpected separation moment had begun. Willow thought that it would take
several days for her father to come and pick her up. She didnât expect that her
time with Jasper would be limited to just this journey until she reached her
father.
With their respective identities, it would be almost impossible for them to meet
again in the future. It was like they would never have a chance to meet again in
this lifetime. Willow bit her lip and asked, âJasper, can you give me a way to
contact you? Maybe in the future, weâ¦â
âI canât,â the man coldly and decisively refused. Willowâs pretty face blushed. As
a member of the Presgrave Family, she never needed to ask others for their
contact information. Today was the first time she had spoken up, and she didnât
expect to be rejected so bluntly. It really struck her self-esteem hard..
âSo, youâre saying that once you bring me to my dad, weâll never see each other
again?â Willow boldly confronted the issue. She thought that after spending a
few days with this man, he would at least want to be friends with her, right?
âThatâs right, the man replied. As the sound of a text message came through on
his phone, he reached for the phone and took a glance at the address. Then, he
searched for it on the carâs navigation system, quickly pinpointing a specific
location.
Willowâs breath involuntarily hitched. Although. it seemed like she was lowering
her self-value by doing this, she really hoped to keep in touch. with him. She
didnât want to go through her whole life without seeing him again. This desire
was somewhat intense-so intense that no one else had ever provoked such
thoughts in her.
After all, in these past few days, he had risked his life to protect her while
heavily injured. Furthermore, he had even been considerate enough to swat away mosquitoes for her while she was sleeping. Besides her father and
brother, he was the first person to do such things.
âThen, at least give me an address where I can find you in the future.â Willow
compromised. In any case, as long as they didnât lose contact, it would be fine.
At least, she would know that he was safe after each mission.
Jasper smoothly started the car and elegantly turned the steering wheel while
speaking in a casual tone, âMiss Presgrave, donât like me and donât fall in love
with me. It wonât lead to anything.â
