confused. He wondered what she was doing.

“Mom, Dad, just be patient. Willow will explain everything. There must be a reason for this,” said Ellen. Anastasia

nodded. She patiently waited for Willow to cback and explain everything.

Twenty minutes later, the bodyguard stopped the car outside the house. Willow got out and cinto the house

Before she could finish, someone else cin. The Presgraves were surprised to see him. “Jasper!” A surprised
