Jasper turned around to look at Willow. âYou also need to be good and not wander around.â âI know. I wonât cause you any trouble.â She nodded. Never had she thought that she would need his help to deal with her familyâs matters.
Since Sirius had already entered the car, Jasper needed to leave as well. He patted her shoulder.
âDonât worry. With me here, I wonât let anything happen to you or your family.â However, she tightly held his hand in worry. âYou must not let anything happen to you too.â
His gaze was deep as he looked at her. He had never feared anything before, feeling that his life was born for his mission. But now, he started to feel fear. He was afraid that if something happened to him, he would never see her again.
âAlright. I promise nothing will happen to me,â he said. Yet she remained deeply concerned. If only they werenât in her home, she wouldâve given him a hug, but since they were here, she refrained from getting too intimate with him. Until my family fully accepts him, I canât put any pressure on him.
âIâll leave now.â Jasper turned and walked toward the car. After getting in, he rolled down the window, holding her gaze for a few seconds before departing.
Following that, the security personnel at the Presgrave Residence became more active. At the moment, Anastasia was attending a jewelry show abroad when chaos suddenly broke out at the venue.
After Elliot finished a call with his wife at home, his face was filled with worry. He stepped quickly outside and saw his daughter still in the garden, so he hurried over. âWillow, I need to leave the country for a while. Stay home and keep Jared and Ellen company.â
âDid something happen to Mom?â Willow was also deeply worried. âSome trouble broke out at the venue of the show. The entire place is under strict control now. I need to go get her and bring her home.â
âBe careful, Dad. Donât worry about me. Iâll take care of Ellen and the others.â She reassured her father.
Immediately, Elliot set off to rescue his wife. Before leaving, he called Jasper.
âHello, Mr. Presgrave?â Jasper answered the call. âJasper, Iâm going abroad now. Iâll leave my daughter and son with you.â
âShould I arrange for someone to escort you?â âNo need. Iâll entrust matters at home to you. Jasper, I hope you can stay at my house and take care of them.â Elliot immediately hung up after saying that.
Subsequently, Jasper dialed Willowâs number, and she promptly answered, âHello?â âI just received a call from your dad. Heâs going abroad. Is it just you and your sister-in-law at home now?â
âYes, my brother is at the company. Itâs just me, my sister-in-law, and my nephew at home.â âCan I stay at your house?â he asked in a low voice. He had decided to provide close protection for them. âOf course. Please come over. We need you.â
After he discussed it with Sirius, a plan was confirmed. Jasper would stay at the Presgrave Residence as a bodyguard, while Sirius would act separately since operating individually was their most skilled method of attack.
Soon, Jasper packed a bag and headed to the Presgrave Residence. A maid led him into the living room, where Willow personally welcomed him.
âYouâre here.â A hint of shyness appeared on her face, but her happiness was unmistakable.
At that moment, her sister-in-law, Ellen, descended the stairs, carrying her son. She looked at the outstanding young man beside Willow, feeling genuinely pleased for her. He must be the young man Willow has talked to me about. He truly has a remarkable presence.
After Willowâs return, she chatted with Ellen about the cultural heritage adventure. They were both young people, so there was naturally nothing they couldnât discuss. While attending an awards ceremony, Ellen had briefly met him before, but she had been too hasty to get a clear view.
âEllen, let me introduce you. This is the Mr. Wyatt I mentioned to you before,â Willow said, then turned to Jasper. âThis is my sister-in-law, Ellen, and my adorable nephew.â
Jasper nodded at Ellen. âHello, Mrs. Presgrave.â
