âIt was my negligence. I didnât even notice this. For now, we canât reveal anything to the outside, especially not to Jett. We need to search in the sea as soon as possible.â
âYes. We need to do it quickly, and we must keep it a secret when we go underwater.â Willow was excited about the possibility of searching underwater. Maybe they could get. ahead.
She walked out of Winstonâs office and saw a certain man who had just left. She could tell from his avoiding gaze that he felt embarrassed about the kiss, as it seemed to be an impulsive act driven by his loss of control.
Though her face was also warm, she still wanted to share her discovery with him. She reached out and held his hand while saying, âLetâs talk in my room.â
Jasper was once again pulled back into her room by Willow. As soon as the door closed, the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous. She showed him the drawing and said, âTake a look. I just made a discovery. We suspect that the ancient artifacts were hidden underwater.â
He took the drawing and analyzed it. With his intelligence, he quickly noticed the same thing and nodded in agreement. âItâs highly possible. I will dive tomorrow to search.â
âIâll go with you,â she commented. âNo!â Jasper immediately refused. He thought. that this dangerous task was not something. Willow should undertake.
âIâm good at diving. I can do it!â Willow insisted. She wanted to go underwater with him. âI said itâs not possible, and thatâs final. Jasper opposed firmly. She looked at him as she felt a bit aggrieved. âWhy canât I do it?â
âThere are potential dangers at any moment underwater. In this area of the sea, you donât know if there are strong currents or sharks. In any case, you are not allowed to go underwater.â His gaze firmly locked onto her as he announced, âYou stay on the shore and wait for me.â
âWhat about you? Itâs dangerous! Iâll have my father send professional divers over.â Truth was, Willow was also worried about him. âYou can send people over, but I will go down and check first. Jasper still wanted to protect her. âI have experience. Nothing will happen to me.â
Willow helplessly looked at him. âOkay, Iâll have my father send someone over, and you can just check the area. Donât take too much risk. Iâll worry about you too.â After saying that, she put her hands around his sturdy waist and lifted her head to look at him.
Jasperâs breathing couldnât help but quicken again as he looked at her beautiful face. His willpower was put to an unprecedented test. âI have one more question to ask you. Your kissing skills are pretty good.
Where did you learn them from?â Willow asked.
This was important to her. He was speechless for a few seconds before answering, âI learned it myself.â She burst into laughter. âReally?â
âYes. You know I never lie to you,â Jasper stated. And I will never lie to you in the future too. Willowâs heart warmed, and she hugged him even tighter while saying impulsively, âJasper, letâs be in a relationship!â
Jasper was stunned upon hearing that. He hadnât expected her to be the one to take the initiative. For a moment, he looked at her and didnât know how to respond. He knew that if he agreed, he would have to promise a lifetime: commitment.
As such, he was afraid he couldnât live up to it in the future. If he were just an ordinary office worker, he could talk about relationships. casually, but his identity didnât allow him to accept a relationship so easily.
He couldnât even control his own fate, let alone drag a woman into his life. âWillow, letâs focus on completing this mission first, okay?â Jasper tried to soothe her.
Willow also knew that she couldnât push him too hard. After all, his identity was special, but that was okay. She had time and could wait. She smiled sweetly and murmured, âOkay! Take your time to think about it. Just let me know. when youâve made a decision.â
How could Jasper reject such a lively and innocent woman? In fact, he was already standing on the edge of a cliff, ready to fall intol her sweet smile at any moment..
âOkay. Iâll prepare the diving equipment, and Iâll go down to check at dawn,â Jasper commented.
