StarNovelAs Tommy attempted to approach Willow, a mysterious figure swiftly interposed, emanating an icy warning.
“Stay away from her.”
“Hey! Who do you think you are? It's none of your business, consultant.” Tommy felt offended and annoyed,
sensing that he was being intruded upon.
“Tommy, don’t you dare be rude to him,” Willow asserted firmly, hands planted confidently on her hips. Startled
by her words, he couldnt help but glance at her with genuine curiosity. “What's your relationship with him?”
“No matter what, he’s under my protection, so you can’t bully him,” she declared, her expression firm and
resolute. Tommy's heart stung slightly at Willow's words. With a tender tone, he asked, “Willow, do you have
feelings for him?”
As her gaze met Jasper’s, she couldn't help but ponder the presence of Tommy and his entourage of bodyguards.
Given Tommy's unpredictable temperament, she could tell that admitting her true feelings for Jasper could stir
up unwanted turmoil. “If you want to stay, stay. Don’t pry into my affairs,” she asserted firmly.
As the weight of Tommy’s emotions settled. upon him, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of dejection. However, he

and believed he stood a better chance. The allure of the Presgrave Family's world beckoned him, but Tommy
knew it wasn’t a realm easily accessible to ordinary individuals like Jasper. If he dared to pursue Willow, he'd risk
more than rejection. Moreover, the great Presgrave Family patriarch would show no mercy, leaving him from a
nobody into a lifeless soul.
“You should go to bed, Willow. Girls shouldn't stay up late; it’s bad for your skin,” he advised, looking out for her
well-being.
As the clock struck past 4.00AM, exhaustion washed over her like a gentle tide. Then, her weary eyes met
Jasper’s, and she couldn't help. but inquire, “Are you going to sleep?”
“I'm not tired,” Jasper replied. “Alright then. I'll go get srest,” Willow stated and turned toward the inviting
embrace of the tents.
As she drifted into the distance, Jasper contemplated his departure, but before he could make his move,
Tommy's hand shot out, halting him in his tracks. ‘I don’t care who you are, but | had feelings for Willow first.
Don’t you dare compete with me,” Tommy warned sternly, even threatening him with his gaze. However, Jasper’s
words cut through the air like ice. “She is her own person, beholden to none but herself.”
“What? Are you daring to challenge me? Let's put your capabilities to the test, Tommy exclaimed, a glimmer of
confidence in his eyes. He had known Willow for three long years, long enough to realize she was not one to be
easily won over. Yet, he remained undeterred, buoyed by his family’s considerable wealth, which may not rival
the Presgrave Family's fortune, but undoubtedly surpassed that of 99.99% of the country.
Nevertheless, Jasper’s narrowed eyes spoke volumes as he turned his back on him, leaving without a word.
Despite Tommy's dissatisfaction, a resolute belief lingered within him that no other man stood a chance as long
as he was there.
The following morning, his chef prepared a satisfying meal for the entire team with the fresh ingredients they
brought. With each delectable bite, satisfaction spread across their faces.
As Willow joined the team, a fellow female member leaned in and whispered softly, “Miss Presgrave, | noticed Mr.
Wyatt skipped breakfast and went over there.”
“Why isn't he eating?” “I'm not sure, but he doesn’t seem in a good mood. Do you want to check on him?” The

After hearing this, Willow scooped up a delicious breakfast plate and took sextra food. She then held two
forks and headed toward him. Meanwhile, Tommy went back to catch smore sleep.
When Willow gazed upon the shoreline, she spotted Jasper perched atop a rugged rock draped in a gray hooded
cloak that enhanced his aura, evoking a sense of dignity akin to a noble sword. ‘Jasper, why are you here alone?
Have sbreakfast.” She approached him with the breakfast plate.
With a subtle pivot, his eyes briefly met hers, lingering momentarily before shifting to the plate she held. Swiftly,
he averted his gaze and gently uttered, “I'm not hungry,”
Willow sensed an underlying distaste for the breakfast prepared by Tommy's chef, suspecting it was more about
Jasper disliking Tommy than the food itself. Determined to change his mind, she coaxed, “Don’t be like this. Fill
your stomach first. Let's eat together.” While saying this, she playfully picked up a slice of luncheon meat and
offered it to him. ‘Open your mouth. Ah-"
As his eyes caught sight of it, an involuntary chuckle escaped him. “Do you think I'm a child?”
