Chapter 2116: Chapter 2116

It was Jasper Wyatt from Interpol’s special operations unit. Why is he joining Willow’s team? Is he there on an assignment? Is her team in some kind of danger? Elliot knew that the special ops would only go on missions to places where serious events could happen.

If Elliot wanted answers, he would need to ask. Willow, so he called her immediately after hanging up on the female bodyguard. Willow had just finished putting her things away when she heard her phone ringing. After seeing who it was, she hurried out onto the balcony before she answered, “Hi, Dad!”, “Willow, why is Jasper Wyatt with you?” Elliot came right out and asked. Willow wasn’t surprised. There were eight pairs of eyes on her at all times. Every single thing she did would undoubtedly get back to her father within a moment’s notice.

“He’s on a break right now, Dad, so I invited him over to protect me. Don’t worry. I’ll be even safer with him around, right?” Willow said cheerfully.

“That doesn’t mean he needs to share a room with you!” Elliot huffed. “I’m sure you’ve looked into him before, Dad, so you know what he’s like! He’s a decent man,” Willow declared reassuringly.

“It’s improper.” “Well, I don’t care about it, Dad, so why are you so hot and bothered by it? I’ll never be able to get married if you keep acting like this!” Willow’s temper flared up too.

Elliot was speechless. Alas, it couldn’t be helped. He was the one who spoiled and pampered her all this while. He was defenseless against her temper. “Do you trust him so much?” Elliot asked.

“I trust him, Dad, so can you please trust him too?” Willow pleaded. She was afraid her father would put pressure on Jasper somehow. “Fine. Look out for yourself. Call me if anything happens.”

“Got it, Dad! Bye!” Willow said sweetly. She had no clue that as soon as their call ended, Elliot immediately made a call to Richard.

“Hey, Elliot.” “Richard, what do you know about a guy named Jasper Wyatt? What’s his character like?

Can he be trusted? Does he have any history of bad behavior? Also, look into his background. I want as many details as possible.”

“What’s the matter?” Richard asked with a chuckle.

“Willow invited him along on her archaeological expedition.”

“Relax! I trust Jasper.”

“But Willy’s sharing a room with him! How am I supposed to relax?” Elliot cried out in frustration.

Richard was a little taken aback. After a few seconds, he said, “Do you still remember the Wyatts, the family that got wiped out overnight? Jasper’s the only child from that family who survived. He has a stellar record with his unit and excels in every way possible. With him keeping Willow safe, you’ve got nothing to worry about.”

“But…”

“If this is what Willow wants, Elliot, shouldn’t you respect her decision? Do you still think she’s a little girl who’ll stay by your side forever and never grow up? Be a little more discerning and have an open mind.”

“Are you saying that this Jasper fellow could be my future son-in-law?” Elliot’s brows furrowed. “Where else would you find such a capable candidate? Willow has a good eye,” Richard complimented.

Elliot was still anxious, but he trusted his friend’s opinion, so he had no choice but to calm himself down and let his daughter make her own decisions.

After all, she was all grown up now. After the call, Willow secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Dad didn’t demand that Jasper and I stay in different rooms.

She went back into the room and saw Jasper sitting on the couch. He seemed a little bored, so she took out her notes and handed them to him. ‘As the special representative, you’ll need. to have a basic understanding of this expedition, or else, you might easily blow your cover. Here are my notes. You can kill time by looking through them.”

Jasper took her notes and began to flip through them in all seriousness. Willow sat down and watched him, but eventually, the swaying. motion of the ship and her exhaustion both led. to her eyes drifting shut as she dozed off.
