Chapter 2412: An Act

Jasper was on the settee. He was dressed in gray. Even though he had lost his hearing, he still

radiated strength, the air around him sharp.

Aimee took a seat beside him and gave him a gentle look. Jasper looked away, immersed in his

thoughts. Aimee picked up a notebook and wrote, ‘Listen to your uncle, Jasper. Don’t make him mad!’

Jasper looked at the message and went back to his thoughts. Aimee wrote, ‘Aside from the

organization, you’re the closest person to him. He’s scared of losing you again.

Jasper glanced at the notebook again. He knew why his uncle did this, but that man had no idea how

he was feeling.

“Willow already found a new lover, you know that?” Aimee scrolled through the gallery and placed her

phone before Jasper. Jasper looked at the photo, but he wasn’t agitated. He knew the relationship

Willow shared with this man.

Aimee smiled and then wrote, ‘In my opinion, he didn’t like you that much if she fell for another man

that quickly. Jasper raised his head and sternly said, “You don’t know her. Don’t slander her.”

Aimee paused for a moment before she chortled. She wrote, ‘Jasper, your hearing is damaged, and yet

she’s happily dating someone else. I’m just feeling for you.”

Jasper shot Aimee a warning glare. He would not allow anyone to slander Willow. Aimee’s heart sank.

She sighed and wrote, ‘Forget about her, Jasper. You and her don’t make a good match. We are. We

can be partners and a couple.”

Jasper looked at the message, and he shook his head. Adamantly, he said, “I will not fall in love with

anyone but her. Stop wasting your time on me.” After that, he left.

Aimee did not look happy at all. She couldn’t believe Jasper was still obsessed with Willow. What part

of her is better than me?

Willow had lunch with Leslie. Seeing that there was something on Willow’s mind, Leslie asked, “What’s

wrong, Willow? Is something bothering you?”

Willow raised her head. Solemnly, she said, “Sorry, Leslie, but… I lied. I have someone I like. I can’t

date you, I’m sorry!”

Leslie paused for a moment. He could feel that she didn’t like him, but he liked her. “Tell me about your

crush,” said Leslie.

Willow then told him about her and Jasper’s story. Leslie was a little surprised. He didn’t expect

someone that remarkable to be around Willow. Willow didn’t tell him who he was, but Leslie could

imagine the kind of man that person was.

“He got hurt because of me. I can’t face him anymore, but I want to see him too. I don’t know what to

do.”

“You dated me to rile him up so he would see you?” Leslie asked. Willow nodded. “That was the plan,

but it’s useless. He still didn’t show up.

“Don’t give up. I’ll help you. Just tell me what to do.”

“Really?” Willow looked at him gratefully. Leslie smiled. “We can’t be lovers, but I’m still your brother’s

junior. You’re like a sister to me. Of course, I’ll help.”

Willow just wanted to put this to the test and see if Jasper would show up. She was going to hold an

engagement party. If he wouldn’t show up, then she would stop forcing him to. She said, “I need you to

help me with an act, Leslie. Can you?”

Leslie nodded. “Sure. What’s the act?”

After Willow told him about her plan, he nodded without hesitation. “Sure, I can do that and see if he’ll

show up. No matter what happened between you two, at least you should talk it out.”

Willow nodded. Jasper should show up and tell her if he didn’t want to be with her, not hide in the dark

and avoid her. It was tormenting for her.
