Ch. 2261..2270

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2261 -“Okay. Her family will come to pick her up. Before that, you have to protect her well.” “Does her family have such great influence that even you have to listen and obey them?”

“Anyway, your most important task now is to protect her. Put everything else aside. She is the top priority and she cannot be harmed.” The person on the other end hung up after that.

Jasper turned back to look at the girl on the couch. He had underestimated the capabilities of her family. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, Her family name is Presgrave. Soon, a family name popped up in his mind. Could she be from that family? The connections of that family were indeed strong.

“What’s your father’s name?”

“My father’s name is Elliot Presgrave,” Willow answered. Jasper breathed a sigh of relief. He was unsure if he was relieved or speechless. In any case, protecting her from harm had been the best decision he had made in a while from the moment he laid eyes on her until now.

“Do you know my father?” Willow asked curiously. He replied calmly, “I don’t know him.” He didn’t have the opportunity to get to know her father. “Who was on the phone just now?”

“My superior.” Since she realized that he wasn’t fond of chatting, she let her imagination run wild. “Did your boss tell you to protect me well and that my father will send someone to pick me up, or will he come himself instead?”

Jasper sat down, and at that moment, Willow suddenly felt discomfort in her stomach. She then turned to the nearby trash bin and vomited. He immediately walked over and asked in a voice deep with concern, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Please give me a glass of water.” She was feeling unwell. He quickly fetched a bottle of water and handed it to her. After drinking the water, she felt slightly better. Then, she looked at the pieces of bread she had eaten, picked one up, and felt like crying. They were expired.

Jasper looked at her expression and found it somewhat amusing. He sat down and asked, “Is there anything else bothering you?” Willow shook her head, but she felt a bit aggrieved. “I’m a bit hungry.”

He remembered his uncle’s words about taking good care of this young lady. The supplies in the safe house might not be regularly updated. He glanced at the time and said, ‘I’ll go out and buy something for you now.”

She looked at his wound and said, “No, you’re injured. You can’t go out recklessly. I can endure my hunger.” Jasper got up and walked toward a room. Soon, he changed into a new set of clothes, came out, and was ready to go out.

“Don’t go, Jasper. It’s dangerous outside. What if they capture you?” Willow couldn’t help but worry. His life was more important than her empty stomach! However, he said to her, “Don’t leave this room. I’ll go out and buy some things.”

Willow couldn’t stop him from leaving, so she could only watch as he left. This man had just finished tending to his wound, and it would be best if he didn’t encounter those bad guys.

She sat on the couch, her heart filled with worry for Jasper. This worry made her sigh, prop her chin up, and occasionally glance out the window.

An hour had passed, and finally, there was movement at the door. She stood up and hid in the kitchen until she saw Jasper returning with two large bags of food before she let out a sigh of relief and approached to take the bags.

Her first instinct was not to see what food there was. Instead, she rushed forward and pulled at the man’s clothes to check his wound in a moment of impulse. Jasper stiffened for a moment as he saw Willow grabbing his T-shirt and staring at his wound.

“Luckily it’s not bleeding or torn.” She breathed a sigh of relief and was unaware that her actions had caused a certain man’s gaze to narrow in nervousness. She turned her head and caught a whiff of a pleasant aroma. To her surprise, this man had. bought desserts and coffee for her..

“Did you buy these for me?” Willow asked happily. “Yeah!” Jasper said as he picked up a bottle of mineral water, sat on the couch, and started drinking it.

She brought the desserts and coffee over as well and asked, “Is it safe outside?”

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2262-“Until your father comes to pick you up, you must stay here and not go anywhere, Jasper ordered. “Why?” Willow couldn’t help but ask even though she would obediently follow his instructions.

He glanced at her with deep eyes while sighing helplessly. “It’s because my mission is to protect you.” She couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m honored to – have you protect me!”

Jasper blinked his eyes, and in the dim light, Willow’s smile was as sweet as honey, like a delicate little princess. “Why are you here?’ he squinted and asked.

“I came here to vote, but the voting session is already over at this time, so I made this trip in vain,” she said somewhat dejectedly. But soon her eyes brightened up. “Though this trip wasn’t completely fruitless! At least I made a friend like you!”

“I don’t want to be friends with you.” He directly refused. Willow blinked. “You despise me, huh?” “To become friends with me, you must have some luck on your side.” Jasper snorted lightly. She was speechless. She had never met a man who was this difficult to get along with.

“All right, then. Let’s just enjoy each other’s company for the next two days!” Willow decided not to push it any further. Without her phone to play with and no other forms of entertainment, she began searching for something of interest in the safe house. However, she soon realized that there was nothing fun to do except for one living thing that caught her attention.

“Jasper, how old are you? Are you married? Do you have children?”

She propped up her cheeks and curiously interrogated him. However, Jasper didn’t answer her. He kept his head lowered and was engrossed in checking his messages on his black phone. Willow pouted and frowned. “Why can you play with your phone, but I can’t? Let me borrow your phone to play for a while!”

“No,” he said sternly. She bit her lip and stared at him with her beautiful eyes with puffed-out cheeks, hoping to guilt trip him so that he’d let her play with the phone.

Indeed, Willow’s big eyes were quite influential. She saw his eyebrows knit together, and he looked up as he locked his gaze with hers. Their eyes were tightly interlocked.

She couldn’t hold back for long and a bright smile bloomed on her lips. She looked somewhat smug as she gazed at Jasper. ‘Let’s both stop looking at our phones and chat together then!” He put down his phone and calmly said, “Knowing about me doesn’t benefit you in any way.”

She blinked. “So, you mean we’ll spend these two days just staring at each other without saying anything? That would bore me to death. Am I not your mission objective? Is it not good to make your mission objective a bit happier?”

“I only need to ensure that my mission objective stays alive. Jasper lifted an eyebrow. Willow realized that conversing with him could really lead to a dead end. He could kill a conversation in just a few sentences.

“Forget it then. I’ll go to sleep.” She decided it was better not to seek trouble. Sleeping was way more enjoyable. She walked into the room but then came out to say, ‘Jasper, you can have the bed! I’ll sleep on the couch.”

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2263 -“It’s not necessary.” The man gave it up to her. Willow had no choice but to get into bed, only to toss and turn continuously, having a hard time falling asleep. Just when she was finally about to drift off to dreamland, she was suddenly awakened by a somewhat forceful pat on the cheek. Startled, she opened her eyes to see Jasper’s large hand clapping over her mouth. He did so while putting his finger to his lips, signaling her to keep silent.

Immediately, Willow realized that something. was wrong. She quickly blinked her eyes and nodded to indicate that she would keep quiet; only then did Jasper release his hold on her. She pricked up her ears and listened. She vaguely heard what seemed to be cars outside. This is an extremely inconspicuous place surrounded by trash. Just who on earth could these cars belong to?

After waking her from sleep, Jasper walked over to the window to check the situation out there. There were two cars outside, but no one had gotten out of them, so he couldn’t make out who these people were. Willow’s nerves tightened involuntarily. Oh, my God! Don’t tell me those hitmen have come after us!

Just then, Jasper saw a bunch of people get out of those cars, and sure enough, they were none other than those hitmen. He gently lowered the curtain and strode into Willow’s room, signaling for her to come with him right away. Willow blinked her eyes. After that, she saw him pull at an inconspicuous object, upon which the whole wall turned around. Surprisingly, the back of the wall had all kinds of heavy weapons hung all over it.

At the sight of this, she nervously swallowed, feeling as if she were acting in some blockbuster film. Seeing how the man quickly and dexterously loaded a gun, she felt as though he were the male protagonist of the film -good-looking, stylish, and as cool as a cucumber.

Despite being in a life-and-death situation, she couldn’t help but praise in her heart, He’s so handsome! This guy is both handsome and stylish. Well, the bodyguards around me are all tall and big guys with extraordinary fighting skills, but they seem to lack the captivating charm he has that makes people fall in love with him.

Having taken everything he needed, Jasper turned the wall back around without leaving behind a trace. Following his hand gesture, Willow walked into a room that looked like a storeroom. The man lifted a curtain and removed a piece of wallboard from the inside, revealing a dark hole. He whispered to her, “Get in here.”

Willow blinked her eyes for a moment. There was no way to see anything in this pitch-dark grotto, but she nonetheless trusted him and got inside. Soon after that, the light behind her disappeared. She thought the man would come in as well, but then she looked back and was surprised to find that he didn’t come in at all. “Jasper! Jasper…” Panicked, she turned around to reach for the door, only to find that it had been sealed.

All at once, she realized that Jasper intended to face the danger alone and keep her protected here. For a moment, she was both moved and angry at the same time. How could this guy leave me here alone without even saying a word? And besides, isn’t he injured as well? How is he gonna deal with this?

Just then, she heard a loud explosion. It sounded like the door had been blasted open. She clapped her hand over her mouth. In the dark, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, not only out of fear but also out of anxiety and worry for the man.

It was in this darkness that she spent the most helpless time of her life. It felt like an eternity. She lost track of time in here, just listening to the gunfire outside. Her heart clenched again. and again. Every time it clenched, she felt suffocated, and her mind rambled with some fearful images that were all related to Jasper.

She wished she also had the ability to go out and deal with all of this to save the man, but she knew that doing so would only make her a burden on him. At this very moment, she counted the gunshots outside with her tearful eyes wide open. He’s still alive as long as the gunshots don’t stop, she thought. Every time a gunshot sounded, she felt as though it had hit her right in the heart.

At last, however, the gunshots stopped sounding for a long time. Nervously, she clutched her chest in one hand while clapping – the other hand over her mouth, fearing that she might scream in fear.

Just then, she heard footsteps approaching the grotto. In an instant, she had her heart in her mouth. Oh, God! Could those hitmen have killed Jasper? Are they coming after me now?

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2264-At this moment, Willow’s mind went completely blank. Just then, a strong light shone in, and she shrank into the darkness like a kitten being caught. However, when she heard a deep, familiar voice coming from the mouth of the grotto, her tears finally stopped.

“Come over here.” She crawled toward the mouth of the grotto The moment she got out of the grotto and saw Jasper’s face, she threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly around the neck despite her tear-stained face.

For a few seconds, Jasper froze in her sudden embrace, only to be stunned again when he felt her tears on his neck. She must’ve been scared out of her wits, he thought. Nevertheless, he pushed her away. “Come with me,” he said, leading her by the hand before suddenly covering her eyes with his other hand. “Don’t look around.”

Although Willow couldn’t see anything with his hand over her eyes, she could smell blood in the air. Swallowing nervously, she followed him out of the house.

As they breathed in the fresh air outside, the man’s large hand moved away from her eyes. Still, she struggled to open her eyes in the evening sun. After all, she had just spent nearly 20 minutes in complete darkness.

It was only 20 minutes, but it felt as long as half a century to her. Before she came to her senses, a muscular arm suddenly wrapped around her shoulders and pulled her into a car next to them. The man also thoughtfully fastened her seatbelt for her.

“Where are we going?” she asked. “This place isn’t safe anymore. We have to go somewhere else.” Jasper had to get her out of here. Seems like our internal system has been hacked into, which means that all the safe houses in this country have been exposed. We must choose somewhere else next.

“But where else can we go?” Willow had never imagined that she would find herself in such a dangerous place one day.

“Just follow me,’ said Jasper before he drove out of an alley into the main street. Soon after that, he drove into an affluent neighborhood. Willow had no idea what he was trying to find, but he soon found what he was looking for: a camper van.

Seeing his eyes fixed on the camper van, Willow immediately had a bad feeling. This guy’s gonna steal a car again. “Wait here for a minute. Just as she expected, Jasper opened the car door and got out.

She watched him walk toward the camper van before noticing that he was holding something in his hand that looked like a sensor. Then, to her surprise, the camper van actually started up. Seeing him drive it over to her, she decided not to waste his time. Well, extreme times call for extreme measures. If the camper van’s owner comes after us for this, I’ll have Dad recompense them doubly afterward.

Jasper drove the camper van some distance away before pulling over to the side of the road. Then, taking his laptop out of his backpack, he expertly keyed something into a program. Willow couldn’t make head or tail of what she saw, but she thought the man looked kind of handsome, as though he was capable of anything. “What are you doing?”

“Turning off the camper van’s internal tracking system,” replied the man with a tap on the keyboard. With that, the program quickly finished running, though there were other programs still running on his laptop.

It looks cool, though I don’t understand any of these, thought Willow. An involuntary smile curved her lips as she turned to look at the man beside her. Despite the numerous dangerous situations she had been in while being with him, this guy actually gave her a feeling of absolute security.

“Go check if there’s any food in the back,” said. Jasper to her. Unfastening her seatbelt, Willow opened the small door to the back trailer. After opening the fridge, she found it stuffed with water and food enough to last both of them a week. “The fridge is stuffed with food. Seems like this family was ready to go on a trip.” What’s more, this whole camper van is a mobile home, making it convenient for us to hide.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2265-“Aren’t we gonna get caught for this?” asked Willow uneasily as she returned to the passenger seat. She had grown up being a good girl and a law-abiding citizen. Sitting in the stolen vehicle, she couldn’t help feeling at prick of conscience, because the camper van’s owner’s trip was now ruined thanks to them. “No, we won’t,” replied Jasper impassively.

“Why are you so confident of that?!” “I’ve hacked all the surveillance cameras along the way. The police can’t track us down.” That’s how confident I am, thought Jasper.

Willow’s beautiful eyes goggled with astonishment at his words. So, the program running on his laptop was to turn off the surveillance cameras along the way? Just what kind of stuff did this guy learn?

He’s got extraordinary fighting skills and such a high degree of intelligence. He’s got really good DNA! All of a sudden, the idea of stealing the man’s DNA sprang up in her mind. As soon as it crossed her mind, however, she blushed crimson with embarrassment. Pfft! How could I have such an idea?!

Just then, Jasper turned on the music, perhaps. because he thought it was stuffy inside the camper van. As the especially nerve-soothing music entered her mind, Willow watched the evening landscape flash past the window. It doesn’t feel bad to be on the run like this! As she kept watching, however, she drifted off to sleep, her head leaning against the window.

By the time she woke up, it was pitch dark outside the window. She had absolutely no ideal where she was; Jasper, who had been next to her, was nowhere to be found. “Jasper!” she called out his name in fright.

Just then, the door opened, and Jasper showed up immediately. “What’s wrong?”

Seeing the man, Willow couldn’t help but feel. somewhat embarrassed. She explained, “Nothing. I thought something happened to you just now. Where are we?”

“A wilderness, he replied. She involuntarily turned to look out the window, and sure enough, she saw tall, lush trees that covered the sky and obscured the sun. At this late hour, this scene looked kind of scary. However, her keen nose caught a whiff of cooked food, which she had been missing for a long time. Smells like some grilled steak.

She got out of the camper van and came to the tent next to it. The man was here, holding a frying pan and pan-frying an appetizing and tender steak. Not only that, it was complemented with all kinds of side dishes-just like the ones that one would eat in a steakhouse. “Wow! It smells so good!” She sat down with starry eyes while waiting to eat.

Jasper put a piece of grilled steak on her plate. Seeing knives and forks and a fruit dish next to them, Willow hungrily started eating, whereas Jasper joined her afterward. Just as she expected, the steak was delicious. She had eaten in the mountains before, but this was her first time eating alone like this with a man.

After they finished eating, Jasper said to her, “You get in first.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll clean this up.” “Let me do it with you!” Willow thought she should lend him a helping hand. Just then, however, she felt an unbearable itch on her arm. She slapped her hand down on it and saw a squashed mosquito on her palm. The mosquitoes here are really big!

“Go back,” ordered Jasper. This lady will only serve as mosquito food here with her delicate and tender skin.

Unable to stand it anymore, Willow had no choice but to get back into the camper van first. She turned on the lights in the vehicle. Back in the afternoon, she had only cared about whether there was food in the fridge, so she hadn’t noticed that this whole camper van was actually decorated in a really cozy way. This seems more like a camper van that belonged to a couple than one that belonged to a family going on a trip!

The camper van had everything new and ready -face towels, toothbrushes, and drinking glasses-which made her feel a little guilty. And now, all of these were going to be used by them.

Jasper returned soon afterward. Luckily, the weather wasn’t hot right now. It was only May at the moment, and the night was slightly chilly. Willow unfolded the rollaway bed, which was just big enough for two people to sleep on it. At the sight of this, her cheeks burned involuntarily. Don’t tell me Jasper and I have to sleep together on this tonight!

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2266-Just then, Jasper came back. The light in the tent outside had gone out; only this whole camper van still had its lights on.

Willow was sitting on the bed. The moment the man entered, it was as though the seemingly luxurious space had instantly become cramped. “Let’s go to sleep. I’m turning off the lights now,” he said.

Needless to say, having slept all the way here in the afternoon, Willow was unable to sleep at this moment. She couldn’t help but plead, ‘Can we keep the lights on for a little longer? I can’t fall asleep.”

Jasper glanced at his watch. “I’ll give you ten more minutes,” he said. After that, he sat down and continued doing something on his laptop.

Seeing a big bump on her arm from the mosquito bite earlier, Willow couldn’t help but suggest, “There’s probably some mosquito repellent or itch-relieving cream in here.” With that, she began looking around carefully before spotting a row of little drawers overhead.

She yanked at one of them, unaware that these drawers were designed so that they could be pulled out completely. As a result, she pulled the drawer out of its slot by accident. “Ah!” she cried out, startled.

Everything in the drawer dropped to the floor; she looked down to see dozens of condoms scattered all over the place, with one of them lying at Jasper’s feet. At the sight of this, her pretty face instantly turned deep red. Jasper stopped what he was doing and stared at the condoms on the floor with deep, fathomless eyes.

On an impulse, Willow hurriedly crouched down to pick up these condoms. One by one, she put them back in the little drawer in her hand, even going so far as to squat down at Jasper’s feet to pick up the condom there. After she was finished, she blushingly placed the drawer back into its slot.

Soon afterward, she found a mosquito repellent and an anti-itch spray somewhere else. After applying the spray to the bump on her arm, she asked Jasper, “Did you get bitten by mosquitoes? Let me spray some of this on you. Noticing a mosquito bite on the back of his hand, she picked up the anti-itch spray and sprayed some on his hand without waiting for his reply. Then, seeing another mosquito bite on his neck, she put some anti-itch spray on her fingertips and was about to apply it to the mosquito bite.

Suddenly, the man grabbed her wrist to stop what she was doing. Willow was startled. Jasper looked up at her. For a time, their eyes were only inches apart, and the look of rejection in his eyes was apparent in the light.

Willow couldn’t stand being fixed by the man’s good-looking, deep eyes. Her face blushed against her will, and she averted her eyes, saying, “I-I’m going to sleep now. I’ll save you some space to sleep. You may turn off the lights now!” With that, she immediately turned. around and got onto the rollover bed, but there was nowhere for her to hide in this cramped space. Moreover, her heart seemed to be fluttering out of control.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2267-However, Willow had a decent rest, particularly due to the fact that she had spent the past two days swamped in fear, and she soon dozed off.

In the quiet car, only the sound of Jasper tapping on his keyboard could be heard. However, half an hour later, a different noise sounded-the buzzing sound of a mosquito.

With his sharp hearing, he keenly noticed that the mosquito was buzzing by Willow’s neck. Unhesitatingly, he rose from his seat, using his phone to illuminate his surroundings as he searched for the mosquito.

Basked in the small beam of light, Willow’s delicate features came into view. The flashlight shone along the path of her neck, illuminating. her fair skin and dainty chin, and her flawless skin exuded a captivating scent.

As Jasper fixed his eyes on her, he found himself unable to avert his gaze, and his Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed as he slowly. leaned in closer. Just then, the piercing light stirred Willow from her slumber, her eyes fluttering open before they widened in shock.

Oh my gosh! Why is this man slumped over me and staring at my neck like a vampire? At that moment, his large hand swiped in the direction of her hair, causing her to jerk upright in shock. “Jasper, what are you doing to me?”

Jasper presented his palm before her eyes in reply. “Just hitting a mosquito.” It was at his words that she finally noticed that there was a large mosquito on his palm. Instantly, Willow flushed red at the realization that she had misunderstood him..

“I’m sorry!” As soon as she apologized, she reached out to scratch her neck, where there was a large bump as she had expected. The incessant itch caused her to claw at her skin relentlessly, and her neck was soon marred with scratch marks. At that sight, Jasper turned around and handed her the anti-itch spray. “Stop scratching. Put this on instead.”

“What time is it? Why haven’t you slept yet?” she asked. “It’s one in the morning,” he replied in his low voice, returning to his seat on the small couch.

Willow headed to the fridge and retrieved a bottle of water, which she handed to him. After he accepted the bottle from her, she took another one for herself before lowering herself to the seat next to him. Then, she let out a yawn, still feeling slightly groggy. “How’s your wound?” she asked, recalling that he was someone who had sustained heavy injuries.

“It’s fine now!” With those words, Jasper. reached out to set the bottle in his hands on the table, only for his movements to inadvertently tug at his wounds. The sudden pain caused him to let out an uncontrollable hiss under his. breath. Willow hurriedly placed the bottle down and said, “How can you say that you’re fine? Let me take a look!”

Clutching his chest, Jasper refused, “It’s fine.” However, Willow, who felt obligated to check on his injuries, reached out to unfasten his buttons without a word. Jasper grabbed her wrist again. “Miss Presgrave, please stay in line.”

She narrowed her alluring eyes, refuting, “Since you’re my bodyguard now, I have to know if you’re capable of protecting me or not. Hurry up and let me take a look.”

Hence, he could only release her wrist and incline his body backward slightly, allowing her to unbutton his shirt. Willow made haste of his buttons with her slender fingers, unaware of the atmosphere. that had shifted in the midst of the silent night. On the contrary, the tension that coursed through the air caused Jasper to feel slightly nervous.

After examining his wounds, she let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that there wasn’t any trace of blood. Once she rebuttoned the shirt, she settled herself beside him with a sigh. “If only my father were here. That way, you wouldn’t have to protect me while you’re still injured.”

Jasper turned his head around to look at her, but he did not reply. At that moment, Willow’s ears caught the faint rustling of leaves against the window behind her. She turned toward the source of the sound, only to see the coiled silhouette of a snake, illuminated by the faint glow of the car lights.

“Ahh!” She nearly leaped into the air before she instinctively edged closer toward Jasper and jumped into his lap. At the same time, she clung to his neck without realizing it and yelped, “T-There’s a snake!”

Meanwhile, Jasper was not particularly affected by the snake. Instead, his thoughts were completely taken over by the woman perched on his legs as her arms wrapped around his neck and her delicate face buried in his shoulder.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2268-“It can’t get in, Jasper comforted Willow in a reassuring tone. “No, I feel like it can. What if it comes in through the vents?” Willow refuted, her imagination still as vivid as ever. Snakes were the animals she feared the most, and her blood would run cold from the mere thought of them, much less seeing one right outside the window.

“Get up, he ordered. Only then did Willow realize that she was. completely seated on his legs and nestled in his embrace, glued to his body as if she were a child. After she awkwardly rose to her feet, she watched as he opened the door and headed outside.

“Hey, Jasper, where are you going?” “To chase the snake away.” At that, Jasper shut the door behind him. Once he was outside, he climbed up a ladder and headed onto the roof of the camper van.

At that moment, all of Willow’s fears were put aside and replaced by concern for his safety. She swung the curtains open, only to see that the snake had been chased off the camper van. with a wave of a stick, most likely fleeing from the impact. After Jasper returned to the van, he quickly urged her before she could continue to overthink, ‘Go back to sleep.”

Not wanting to cause him any more trouble, Willow obediently climbed onto the bed. She curled her limbs into herself, clearing a large amount of space for the man, whom she urged, “You should go to sleep too! Stop working.”

I’m not tired,’ he replied in a low voice. Willow was aware that things were getting too much for Jasper to handle, even if he was. made of steel. Besides, on top of his injury, he had dealt with a group of hitmen as well as spent the entire day behind the wheel. If he continued to work throughout the night without getting any rest, how would his wounds. recover? An idea formed in her head, and she said, “Jasper, I’m scared. Come to bed with me!”

At her words, Jasper’s tapping fingers came to a sudden halt. He turned to look at the girl on the bed, whose face looked a little flushed. However, she decided to go all out to ensure that he would rest and insisted, “Hurry up! I’m really scared. I’m scared of mosquitoes and snakes.”

In order to prevent her from interrupting his work any further, Jasper took his laptop with him and sat on the corner of the bed. “Go to sleep!”

Just like that, Willow huddled on the bed and watched as he worked, unable to fall asleep but not saying a word either, staying as silent as a child.

Jasper was aware that she hadn’t fallen asleep, and after typing out a line of code, he closed his computer and leaned on the bed to rest his eyes for a short moment.

Upon seeing his posture, Willow knew for certain that he was not comfortable at all. Besides, the bed was fairly large, and it had more than enough room for the two of them.

“You should lie down and sleep!” she suggested. “It’s fine,” he replied nonchalantly. “Why? Are you worried that I’ll eat you? Don’t worry, I’m not interested in men,” she said huffily. Even if he was blessed with stunning looks and a perfectly sculpted figure, she would not think of laying a hand on him.

The corners of Jasper’s lips noticeably tightened and twitched faintly as he suppressed his laughter. However, in the cover of darkness, Willow remained oblivious to this fact. The more she thought about it, the more she believed that he shouldn’t sleep in such a position as it could prevent his recovery.

Aware of his somewhat stubborn nature, she could only sit up and reach out to wrap her arm around his neck, pushing him onto the bed. Just like that, Jasper found himself being pressed down onto the bed by her..

“You…” His voice trailed off in shock as he pursed his lips. However, Willow held him down firmly, preventing him from sitting up. “Behave and go to sleep before I force you to.”

Her voice which was naive yet carried a trace of aggression caused his Adam’s apple to bob in his throat. In the end, he relinquished and conceded, “All right, I’ll go to sleep. Stop pressing on me.” If things went on like this, she would be the one in danger, not him.

Hearing that, Willow released him and turned. over to sleep on the side of the bed, finally feeling relieved. In the darkness, she didn’t notice the heavy rise and fall of his chest, a clear indication of his emotional turmoil.

All of a sudden, the silence in the compartment turned unbearably stiff. As Willow shifted restlessly on the bed, she bumped the solid, sturdy arm of the man beside her by accident. Instinctively, she recoiled from his body, but the warmth of his touch lingered on the spot where their skin had briefly met. She was just about to turn around to engage him in a chat when she heard his even breathing. He seemed to have fallen asleep.

As all of his hardships surfaced in her mind, Willow decided that she should leave him to have a peaceful rest. Hence, she tried her best not to turn around lest she woke him up, and she eventually succumbed to slumber while listening to his steady breathing.

Perhaps due to having several fearful encounters recently, she was still in the middle of making her escape, even in her dreams. She felt as if she were sprinting on a grassy field, chased by an army of murderers. Just as she thought she was about to meet her end, a man. descended from the heavens as if he were a divine figure and stood before her.

She called out happily, “Jasper!” Once Jasper appeared, it was as if the murderers had vanished into thin air in Willow’s eyes. After all, his existence completely obliterated everything that terrified her.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2269-In her nightmare, Willow was terrified and tightly clung to the man’s arm. In reality, she was also holding a man’s arm, and as her tiny face snuggled closer, she eventually fell asleep with her face resting against his arm.

As the first ray of dawn poured in, Jasper was awoken by birds chirping. He was about to get up when his body sensed that one of his arms was being tightly embraced by someone. Hence, he turned his head to see Willow asleep with her face pressed against his biceps, where she was clinging to him like a clingy little cat. Despite the bright sunlight streaming in through the window, he noticed the girl’s face was as pure and translucent as a peeled egg, and it was smooth and tender, with every feature clearly visible and a stark contrast to his tanned skin.

Then, he attempted to withdraw his arm, but the more he pulled, the tighter she clung to it in her sleep, as if she regarded his arm as a pillow. With a soft sigh, he continued to lie down to allow her to hold onto him a little longer, hoping she would release his arm later. Half an hour later, he got out of bed after she flipped over and released her grip on his arm.

Since they were staying in a large camper van with a water purification system, he took a bucket and went outside to collect water from a mountain spring.

In contrast, upon turning over and touching the empty space beside her, Willow could not help but open her eyes. Where’s Jasper? Following this, she got out of bed, opened the door to the camper van, and realized how beautiful the forest, which had seemed so terrifying the night. before, was in the morning!

Before her eyes was a lush green meadow filled with unfamiliar wildflowers and surrounded by towering trees, creating a tranquil and fragrant space filled with the sounds of birdsong. Each breath felt invigorating because the air was clean and rich in oxygen.

Then, as she was about to stretch lazily, she saw Jasper standing off in the distance, immobile, and she wondered if he had discovered something fascinating or intriguing there. Piqued by curiosity, she walked quietly in the direction of the man. Since the soft grass muffled her footsteps, he didn’t notice her even though she was only three feet away.

Moreover, he was not particularly wary of his surroundings at the moment. Since he had previously set up surveillance in the area, his wristwatch would trigger an alarm whenever anyone came too close. On the other hand, he was the only one who knew what he was doing as he stood there.

Suddenly, he heard Willow’s inquisitive and sweet voice behind him, asking, “Hey! What are you doing?” Instantaneously, Jasper became flustered as he pulled up his zipper with both hands, warning in a hoarse voice, “Don’t come closer!”

As she watched the man’s hands move quickly, she put two and two together and realized what was happening. Her face turned beet red with embarrassment, and she muttered an “oh” before turning around and running away. Oh, dear! He… He was peeing over there!

Since an awkward incident had just occurred, Willow’s face flushed so badly that she was literally bleeding with embarrassment. Even as she approached the camper van, her heart was still pounding erratically, and she calmed herself by claiming that she hadn’t seen anything, so Jasper probably wouldn’t blame her!

While pondering, she noticed the man walking toward her from the tree nearby. Biting her lip, she mustered up some courage and repeatedly told herself not to feel embarrassed. Contrary to her expectations, he appeared even calmer than she did, and as he pointed beneath the tent, he informed her, “There’s water over there for you to wash up.”

Willow nodded after hearing this and returned to the camper van to retrieve a new cup, toothbrush, and face towel for herself. She had experience with outdoor survival, so after quickly freshening up, she noticed Jasper preparing breakfast. Then, she sat down and asked him, “Do you need any help?”

However, he responded indifferently, “No.” That was his usual tone when speaking to others, but she thought he sounded upset, and she couldn’t help but recall the incident where she had bothered him earlier.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2270 -Presuming Jasper was upset with her, Willow apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were-” “I don’t blame you.” After saying this, he looked up at her, and when their gazes met, her face began to heat up..

“But I saw absolutely nothing!” she clarified, puffing her cheeks. However, her tone unintentionally conveyed disappointment, and he assumed that was what she meant. Therefore, he couldn’t help but smirk and hum lightly, “What were you expecting to see?”

After hearing this, Willow finally realized that her sentence sounded misleading, so she waved her hands dismissively. “No, I wasn’t expecting anything. There is nothing interesting to see anyway-”

There’s nothing interesting to see. That sentence itself caused Jasper’s expression to become stone-cold. Has this woman seen others? Why else would she sound so disinterested? A wealthy young lady like her must have plenty of pursuers, which means she might have been in multiple relationships before. His thoughts briefly strayed, and the bread he was toasting nearly burned. Then, he immediately returned to attention, flipped the bread, and looked up at her. “If you’re bored, go out for a walk! Come back for breakfast later.”

In the meantime, Willow felt that the atmosphere between them had become somewhat awkward, so she went outside to observe the wildflowers growing on the ground. She bent down and picked a few, creating a lovely bouquet as a present for herself.

From inside the tent, Jasper could see her figure as she held a bouquet and admired it with a contented expression, resembling a child who hadn’t graduated from kindergarten. His gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before he snapped out of it, only to find that the bread had become slightly burnt, prompting him to sigh and toast another two fresh slices. When she returned, the plate already had toasted bread slices on it. Then, she sat down, grabbed one, and topped it with a sunny-side-up egg. lettuce, tomato slices, and a pat of butter for a quick and nutritious breakfast.

On the other hand, the man served another two perfectly toasted slices in front of her while he helped himself to the burnt ones. Then, he said, “I’ve managed to contact your father’s men.”

After hearing this, Willow smiled and replied, “I’m not eager to return home because I’m enjoying my time in the mountains!” However, Jasper glanced at her and said, “I have other tasks to attend to.”

Then, she bit her lower lip nervously, realizing she had wasted his time, and she apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“I’m not blaming you.” While saying this, he had no choice but to soften his tone. After breakfast, Willow followed Jasper to a nearby stream to collect water, and while she played happily behind him, she eventually realized how tall he was. His towering stature makes me feel even shorter than I already do, as my head can only reach his shoulder when I wear my flats. I’m guessing this man is at least six feet tall.

In the meantime, he had bought two buckets and went over to get water because it was pure and clear mountain spring water, free of pollution from urban industries.

Since the stones in the river were beautiful and smooth, she picked up a few to play with, emulating a child who had never grown up. Even though he had just fetched the water, he remained nearby and watched as the girl collected stones.

At this time, Willow took off her shoes and stepped into the icy water. She was reluctant to leave, so she looked up at Jasper and suggested, “Why don’t you head back first? I’ll be here for a while.”

“No! You can’t leave my sight,” he refused. When she heard this, a warm feeling arose in her chest, so she stopped playing and approached a stone beside him. Nonetheless, when she stepped barefoot on it, she was unaware it was unbalanced. “Ah-” She waved her hand frantically, trying to regain her balance, but she was about to fall backward.

Without thinking, he reached out his long arm, caught her hand, and pulled her close to his chest so that his arm was wrapped around her waist.

At the same time, Willow hurriedly held onto Jasper’s waist, her tiny face bumping against his sturdy chest. She felt quite frustrated, realizing that everything she did seemed to go wrong in front of the man, and she always needed his care and assistance. What’s going on? This is not typical of my behavior! Why do I always find myself in his embrace or arms following our encounter? I swear I’m not intentionally causing trouble for him!
