As soon as Troy walked into the cafe, he noticed the attractive figure sitting by the window. He had not seen her
in years, but she still had a princess-like aura surrounding her.
Jasper caught sight of the person who had just walked in. He did not mind at first, but when he saw Troy walking
over to Willow and greeting her, he instantly stopped halfway through typing. ‘Long tno see, Miss
Presgrave.”
Willow looked up at Troy, then stood up politely. “Have we met before?” “Yes. You were five, and | was eight. We
were at a banquet abroad.” He examined her, then said in amazement, “You haven't changed much.”
“How can that be? I've grown from a child into an adult, at least!” she said, laughing. “That's true. You're a lovely
and pretty woman now.” He smiled as he expressed his agreement.

“If you're not in a hurry to get to the hotel, let's sit down and talk,” Willow told him. She had a friendly tone as if
they had been friends forever. Troy was a casual guy as well. He said, with great pleasure, “Of course, I'm not in
a hurry. It’s my honor to chat with you, Miss Presgrave.”
She picked up the cup of coffee and subconsciously glanced in a direction, curving her lips. She wanted a certain
man to see that she was not without admirers. As she spoke, she accidentally spilled the coffee. The liquid
splashed onto the table, and seven dripped onto the floor.
“Are you okay, Miss Presgrave?” Troy hastily got up and asked in concern. Willow got up as well, smiling and
suggesting. “It's okay. Let's change seats. With that, she reached out and pulled Troy along, switching their seats
so that she would sit beside Jasper while still facing Troy. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at a man who
was hard at work.
“Troy, thanks for attending my nephew’s baby shower.” When she referred to him by his first name, Troy was so
elated that his eyes shone. He could not help but chuckle. “Can I call you Willy?”
“Yup, of course! Everyone callsWilly.” When she finished speaking, she supported her chin, smiling as she
gazed at Troy with her huge beautiful eyes. Troy felt something plucking his heartstrings. He thought of
something, then retrieved a cute crystal rabbit from his pocket. “For you.”
She reached out and took it, expressing in pleasant surprise, ‘It's so pretty!” “I saw it on my way here and liked
it, so | bought it. It’s perfect as a gift for you.”
“I can hang it on my bag.” With that, she attached the rabbit to her purse. It served as an ornament. “It’s just a
little toy. I'll give you something even better when | get to the city,” Troy said, smiling.
Willow curved her lips into a smile. “I'm the host, so | should be the one welcoming you. If there are any gifts
involved, they should cfrom me.” “Lendyour car, then! My private jet couldn't sendhere, so they
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcouldn't ship my car either.”
“Sure! | have six sports cars, so take your pick.” She smiled generously. “My brother has some, too. If you fancy
any of those, you can tell me.” “I heard that your brother has a personally. customized car that’s the only one of
its kind. I'm curious to see it.” “Sure! | can ask him to take you out on a road trip in that car,” she said.
“I'll look forward to it, then, Troy said, elated. Jasper heard everything they said and was so absorbed in it that he
ignored Aimee’s voice for a few seconds. “Jasper, are you listening? Did you screenshot their license plate?” She
could not help but ask again, for she received no response the first time..
“I did.”
“Good. Cdown, then! I'll wait for you in the car.” Jasper closed his laptop and stuffed it into his laptop case.
When he was lifting it, he glanced at Troy, whose gaze remained on Willow's face as if it was glued to her.
He got up and walked over to them, but Willow rose on purpose and extended her arm to block his path. “Excuse
me,” the man spoke in a low voice.
