Willow was still chatting with Winston about the next direction of their research,
and her gaze glanced in Jasper’s way several times. He was talking with Ricky
and occasionally caught glimpses of her. In just a glance, their hearts were filled
with each other on this slightly chilly night.
Winston was also planning to nap for a while, and a sly look flashed in Willow's
eyes. She deliberately stood there to feel the cold breeze and did not return to
the tent. As expected, after a while, she saw Jasper finish his conversation with
Ricky and walk toward her. “Why aren't you sleeping?” His caring voice came.
“I'm scared and can't sleep alone.” She hugged her arms and looked up at the
deep night sky. “You can have Johanna accompany you for a while,” he
suggested. She turned to look at him. “But I want you.”
He sighed slightly. “All right. Sure. Let's go!” Her lips could not help but curl up in
satisfaction. It seemed she could coax him to sleep after all. 'm energized, but
let's do this! In reality, she felt sorry for him, as he had not slept well for several
days. So, she deliberately. invited him to get some rest.
After entering the tent, Willow obediently lay down and told him, “Close your
eyes. Don't think about anything, and just sleep Jasper obediently shut his eyes,
and so did she. They waited as seconds ticked....
Half an hour passed, and even though she was about to fall asleep, she resisted
the drowsiness and opened her eyes to sneak a peek at him. She could not help
but get closer to him to check if he was asleep while propping herself up on her
elbow as she looked at him under the faint moonlight.
I think he’s down. She smiled and felt satisfied. She then lay back down and
rested her head on her arm while admiring the handsome profile of the man. Her
eyelids grew heavier, and finally, she fell asleep.
Moments after that, the man’s thick long lashes lifted, and he turned his head.
His bright and charming eyes locked onto the peaceful sleeping face of the girl,
and he let out a faint sigh of relief.
In the end, who was coaxing whom to sleep? As it turned out, it was Jasper who
was coaxing her to sleep. The way Willow slept, like a child without any defense,
captivated him. His gaze could not help but fall on her slightly parted lips as if
some magical force was pulling his nerves.
When he finally came to his senses, he realized he had somehow gotten closer
to her face. He forcibly suppressed all thoughts, gently pulled back the curtain,
and left.
That night, Willow slept soundly and sweetly, as her heart was free from worries
and distractions. She slept until the sun was up, and when she opened her eyes,
she found that Jasper was no longer by her side. Still drowsy, she came out and
found that Winston and his group had already gone to the ship for a meeting.
“Miss Presgrave, come and have breakfast.” Johanna had prepared breakfast for
her. Willow sat under the large tent and had her meal. Full of curiosity, she
asked, “Where's Jasper?”
“He went over there.” Willow ate half a piece of bread and got up to head there,
after which Johanna could not help but sigh. Tyler would surely be heartbroken;
Willow, carefully raised by him, was slipping away from him.
The girl walked quickly toward Jasper, squatting next to a rock, and did not know
what he was looking at. She immediately slowed down her pace and sauntered
quietly toward him. Jasper noticed but did not expose her. Even when she
reached out to cover his eyes, he still played along and asked, “Who is it?”
