Chapter 2417: Back to the Family

“Thanks,” said Willow earnestly. Jasper narrowed his eyes. He had never seen her chatting with a guy

that happily, and it made him jealous. He had looked into Leslie’s background and knew how brilliant

and good-looking he was. Could she have developed feelings for him? They hung out for a while, after

all.

Willow hung up, and then she saw Jasper staring at her with a conflicted aze. She blinked. “What’s

wrong?”

“You used the same trick again. Couldn’t you have come up with something more creative?” Jasper

grumbled, Smugly, Willow said, “If it works, why change. the formula? I do have some cards up my

sleeve. Leave me again, and I’ll put them to use.”

Jasper pulled her into his embrace. He said in al raspy voice, “Did you catch feelings for Leslie?”

Willow blinked. “Why do you ask? Are you jealous?”

Jasper looked at her quietly. Willow put an arm around his neck and stood on tiptoes, and thent she

pressed her lips against his and kissed him. This was proof that he was the only one she loved. She

would never fall for anyone else.

Jasper stopped breathing for a moment. He put an arm around her waist and held the back of her head

with his other hand. He held her in his embrace, declaring that she was his. Jasper was territorial like a

wolf when it came to this matter.

He then returned her kiss with more than double the passion. Willow closed her eyes, taking in his

warmth and love. She pulled herself closer to him, and she felt him tightening his hug as well. There

was no space between them, and it was as if nothing in the world could separate them now.

A long, long while later, Willow’s phone rang. Flustered, she quickly pushed Jasper away. Jasper was

breathing heavily and staring at her pink face as she checked her phone. ‘Oh no. It’s my brother. He’s

going to kill me.”

‘Till take it.” Jasper tried to take her phone. He would take all the scoldings for her. Willow was amused

by his concern and chuckled. “Don’t worry. He won’t actually kill me. Might lecture me, though.” Willow

took the call. “Hey, Jared.”

“Willow, Leslie just called. He canceled the meeting. What happened? And he said you have something

to tell me. What is it?” Jared was worried. His sister’s marriage was a big deal.

Willow coughed. “Yeah, I have something to tell you, Jared, but not now. I’ll explain everything. when I

get home. Tell Dad and Mom to calm down.”

“Yeah, you should come home right now. Dad and Mom are here too,” said Jared. Willow hung up.

Jasper held her hand and said. with determination, “I’ll go with you.”

Willow held his arm. “Not tonight. Tomorrow. We’ll have a meal at my place.” I’ll take all the lectures

and scoldings. This whole fiasco was something I came up with, after all.

“I’m not scared,” said Jasper.

Willow blinked. “I know, but just give me one night. We’ll meet tomorrow.” Willow didn’t want him to

leave either, but she had to go home and explain herself. She also wanted to show how determined

she was to marry Jasper, and only Jasper.

Willow stood on her tiptoe and kissed Jasper’s cheek. “Wait for me. And don’t run away ever again.”

She picked up her purse and was about to leave, but then she saw the bouquet on the settee. Willow

held it in her arms and waved Jasper goodbye. “See you.”

Willow walked out of the house and got into the car. Quickly, they took her back home, but she had no

idea that a green off-road vehicle was following her.

The Presgraves were waiting for Willow. They wanted to hear her part of the story since Leslie’s family

didn’t say anything. Leslie didn’t tell them the whole story, either.
