Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2001

“Given my identity, I can’t go to the hospital.”

“Don’t go to the hospital, then. Send me to a hotel so that I can get some rest,” Willow said.

“You’re in a hotel right now.”

“Oh, you’re right! By the way, the presidential suite on the top floor is my family’s exclusive room. Why don’t you take me there?” The Presgraves owned so many businesses that Willow forgot about some of them.

The man was rendered speechless.

“Please, Jasper.” Willow extended her hands and acted coquettishly.

Even a hero couldn’t resist a charming lady like her.

Jasper bent over and draped her hand around his neck. Then, he extended his other arm below her knees and carried her before entering the elevator.

When Willow pressed the button to the top floor, a slightly joyful smile formed on her face.

However, she had forgotten about the man’s identity; he could capture information through the reflection of anything. There was a mirror affixed to the door, so he could see the smile on her face.

Moreover, he had already realized that it was just her pretense, but he didn’t expose her.

After entering the Presgraves’ exclusive room, they saw the luxurious interior with ceiling-to-floor windows. When they looked out, they could see a magnificent river. Willow sat down on the couch and picked up the remote control to switch on some appliances.

“Tell your family members to take care of you. I’ll be taking my leave.”

“Don’t go. If you have time, why don’t you stay here for a while?” Willow suggested.

The towering man stopped in his tracks but didn’t turn around. “I don’t have time for your little games.”

“Alright, let me ask you. Why are you here today?” Willow asked with her brow raised. Before the man could reply, she continued, “Don’t tell me you happened to pass by this place or had a mission to carry out here.”

With a frown, Jasper turned around and stared at her. “Weren’t you the one who invited me to your engagement party?”

Willow was startled for a moment before asking, “Are you saying you’re only here as a guest?”

The man didn’t respond to her.

She bit her lip and continued, “Do you want to see me marry someone else?”

Jasper let out a sigh. “Miss Presgrave, if you’re looking for a potential partner, you’ve found the wrong person.”

Willow suddenly realized that even though she had done so much to find out if the man loved her, she only made him frustrated.

She wrapped her arms around her knees and buried her face between her thighs, looking as though she was an injured kitten. Then, she said gently, “You can go now. I won’t bother you again.”

Her figure was curled up in the spacious living room, making her look piteous.

When the man turned around and looked at the woman on the couch, he didn’t realize that a hint of softness flashed across his dispassionate gaze.

“Get your family members to come over.”

“No,” Willow said obstinately.

Just then, the man received a notification on his watch. A teammate was calling for him.

“I really have to leave now.” With that, Jasper turned around and left.

Suddenly, Willow called out to him, “Wait a minute!”

Jasper stopped in his tracks in front of the door and whirled around to ask, “What else?”

Willow got up from the couch and lifted the hem of her dress before rushing toward him. Then, she took a look at him and wrapped her arms around his waist. With her face against his chest, she said, “Let me hug you for a while.”

The man was astounded.

However, Willow hugged him tightly with her face against his firm chest. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the embrace for a moment before reluctantly stepping away. “You can leave now. I’ll stay here tonight. If I get scared of being alone, I’ll send you a message. You must reply to me, got it?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Jasper was rendered speechless.

He had repeatedly told Willow not to send him messages, but the woman didn’t seem to keep that in mind.

“Only tonight.” Upon finishing his words, he opened the door and stepped out of the room.

Inside the room, Willow put on a satisfied smile. It seemed that the man had finally made a compromise.
