Her heart could no longer hold anyone else, except for that man who had disappeared without a trace.
âI still have a meeting. You guys chat while you eat!â Jared decided to leave. He was quite satisfied with this young man, who had also been thoroughly investigated.
After Jared left, he reported to his parents. By now, Elliot had thoroughly researched Leslieâs family history, and it seemed that he came from a respectable background.
After Willow and Leslie finished their meal, they headed to a nearby cafe for their date.
Leslie sat on the sofa, and Willow took the initiative to sit next to him. This made him so happy that he couldnât stop smiling. As Willow moved closer, he felt nervous, his palms even slightly sweaty. Then Willow said to him, âLetâs take some selfies! You can put your arm around my shoulder.â
Leslie immediately placed his arm around her shoulder, and the two of them leaned in for a photo. They looked like a sweet couple who was a perfect match. After taking the photos, Willow said to Leslie, âLetâs make it a regular thing to meet up in the future!â
âSounds great!â Leslie was also very happy. Leslie wanted to drive her home, but Willow declined. She had driven herself here, and this time, she hadnât brought any bodyguards with her. She quickly headed toward Jasperâs villa.
On the way, she printed out a few of the photos.. In the pictures, she and Leslie looked incredibly compatible. Back at the villa, she arranged the three photos on the table and continued to write a note.
âJasper, do you think my blind date is handsome? He really likes me, but I really like you. If you donât show up soon, I might just marry him and forget about you.â
After finishing the note, she added, âYou donât have to appear in front of me, and you donât need to send me flowers. All you have to do is send me the number 520 at any time within the next three days.
I just need to know that youâre still alive.â
Willow finished writing but was still reluctant to leave. After all, it was still early, and she was feeling a bit tired. She lay down on the sofa for a nap.
At the base, Jasper, who had just finished lunch and returned to his ward, couldnât help but glance at the computer next to him. He let out a faint sigh. His usual self-discipline seemed to: disappear when it came to Willow. Whenever he thought of her, his mind became a mess.
Jasper picked up the laptop and continued to access the surveillance network to check on Willowâs activities. She hadnât updated her social media in a long time. However, what he saw in front of him now was Willowâs latest post.
It was a photo of her with a young man, both of them smiling sweetly. Willow was practically leaning into his arms, and the man had his arm around her shoulders.
Jasperâs breath hitched. This girl really didnât waste any time. Willow had added a caption. âWhen you meet someone you like, just hold on.â
Jasper tensed up. He let out a breath and stared at the photo, unable to tear his gaze away from it. He then had another thought and exited Willowâs social media, checking his own villaâs surveillance.
But what he saw made his heart soften to the extreme. Willow was asleep on the sofa in his house, and he wasnât sure how long she had been curled up there. Jasper couldnât help but reach toward the computer screen, as if wanting to touch her.
Willowâs curled-up form looked like she was cold. It was already early winter, but she hadnât covered herself with anything.
This girl still hadnât learned to take care of herself. Jasper felt a pang of tenderness in his heart. He then noticed the photos on the table and her written note.
He immediately zoomed in to get a better look. After reading, his heart ached so much that it throbbed.
The man in the photo was just someone she had met to spite him. She still liked him.
