Ch. 2281..2290

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2281-Aimee was sitting in front of her computer when Jasper returned to the room. She looked up at the man who had just come in and asked, “Where did you go?” “Nowhere important, Jasper replied as he made his way to his room.

She couldn’t help but follow him. “Jasper, we are partners. You can’t keep anything from me, or we won’t be able to work together.” “Aimee, just focus on your own tasks.” Jasper then closed the door behind him.

Aimee couldn’t stop her chest from rising and falling from anger for a moment. She had been selected as an international agent and was an exceptional young woman. However, she couldn’t ignore her feelings for Jasper. She had tried repeatedly to restrain herself, and yet, she couldn’t help but pay attention to him.

Her heart wouldn’t calm down whenever they were together. It wasn’t as chaotic when Jasper was fully focused on his work before, but ever since she heard that he had been acting absent-minded after his return to the team, her heart had become restless.

It was because Willow had entered his heart. Jasper having someone he was interested in was making Aimee feel as if something had set her sights on had been stolen from her.

It felt like sh*t. But she also knew that Willow was not just an ordinary woman. After all, Willow Presgrave did come from a formidable family. As such, Aimee hoped that Willow wouldn’t set her heart on Jasper. With her family and background, she could find someone better.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent room, Willow held onto her phone without putting it down. She was trying her best to stop herself from sending a message to Jasper.

However, she was having a tough time holding it in. She had typed out several messages, but she ended up being too timid to send any of them lest she disturbed his work.

Forget it! I’ll just find something else to do! How about going shopping with Mae? Since she gave me a purse last time, I’ll accompany her to choose some gifts! Willow then made plans with Mae, who gladly accepted. The two of them quickly agreed to meet at the entrance of the lobby.

A man was leaning against the wall, engrossed in a game, when Willow walked out and stood by the elevator. As soon as he saw Willow, he quickly closed the game interface and sent a message to his partner. The target is out. I’ll follow her, and you come later.

When Willow entered the elevator, the man hurriedly approached her and apologized. “Oh, excuse me. I’m heading down as well.” Willow flashed him an unguarded smile and continued to message Mae. “I’m coming down. My bodyguards’ car is at the entrance.”

Willow and Mae only got into the car and left after they met up in the lobby. Behind them, a black SUV followed closely. Although they noticed Willow had a bodyguard with her, they took the risk of kidnapping this beautiful woman as a tribute in order to please their boss. As individuals who were involved in international high-stakes matters, they were not afraid of any consequences.

Meanwhile, Jasper was in his room on his computer when a sudden whimsical thought prompted him to open a document. He clicked on today’s surveillance footage and fast- forwarded to the part where Willow left her room. He watched as she walked out, lingered for a few seconds in front of his door, and stared at the door before she headed toward the cafe.

Jasper’s gaze remained fixed on Willow even after she went into the cafe. He observed her standing at the service counter, ordering coffee, and choosing a seat. Even without any filters, she exuded a timeless elegance that captivated him. Her every move reflected the demeanor of a refined lady.

At that moment, Jasper noticed a pair of eyes in the footage, staring at Willow as a predator would. Jasper’s sharp eyebrows furrowed as he realized it was his target, Bucky. Bucky stared at Willow intensely, his gaze akin to that of a wolf, while conversing with his henchmen. His expression revealed a touch of obscenity.

Jasper quickly turned up the volume and put on his earphones to listen to Bucky and his henchmen. He overheard Bucky saying, “Good. 1 want her tonight.”

Quickly, Jasper increased the playback speed. and looked closely through the footage. As expected, he saw one of Bucky’s henchmen waiting for Willow at the elevator entrance.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2282-Jasper felt nervous because Willow left the hotel fifteen minutes ago, and Bucky’s men had already begun following her. Without hesitation, he closed his laptop and immediately grabbed his gear before leaving.

Meanwhile, Aimee was in the hall when she saw Jasper and quickly asked, “Jasper, where are you going?” “I’m heading out to follow Bucky’s men. Once he finished saying that, he was already out the door.

Jasper had already inserted a tracker inside the phone belonging to one of Bucky’s men, so he quickly tracked that person’s current location. At that point, a black SUV sped out of the underground parking lot. Seeing that the target was currently in a shopping mall, he guessed Willow must also be there.

In the meantime, Willow was shopping with Mae. The two were having a great time, choosing clothes and bags for each other. They had bodyguards following them all the time, but not far away, two fierce-looking men were plotting to kidnap Willow. “Willow, you’re giving me too much. Let’s find somewhere to have a tea break!”

“Sure!” Willow knew there was a nice cafe on the third floor. When the two entered the elevator, their bodyguards followed them, but one of Bucky’s men also entered the elevator. That man was responsible for following Willow, while the other took another path because she had seen him before.

Just as the group entered the cafe, someone entered the first-floor elevator in the lobby. He was wearing a gray sweatshirt with a hood and had a tall, muscular figure. His cap covered his forehead and eyes, revealing only his defined nose, sensual lips, and a perfect-looking jawline. His phone flashed a signal, indicating the target was less than twenty meters away.

Jasper had arrived. He looked in the direction of the signal and saw one of Bucky’s men standing by a pillar, seeming to be waiting for someone. Then, Jasper looked in the direction. the man was looking in and noticed a cafe. When he arrived at the cafe, a waitress enthusiastically welcomed him. “Sir, how may I “I’m looking for someone,” he replied.

The waitress looked up at the customer, and her eyes instantly widened. God! He’s so handsome. ‘Okay. Please come in.” She dared not stop the man.

Jasper swept his gaze across the room and immediately noticed the young woman by the window. Willow and Mae were currently chatting while enjoying their food, and the former had no idea that danger was nearby.

However, Bucky’s men had thought of an intricate but nasty plan, which was to find a power supply and install a time bomb there. The bomb was not very powerful, but it could cause everyone in the shopping mall to panic and run away. That way, they could easily kidnap Willow during the chaos.

When the five-minute countdown was finally up, a room on the left side of the third floor suddenly exploded, shocking everyone in the shopping mall. That was followed by every electronic device malfunctioning. The scene was utter chaos.

Willow and Mae held each other’s hand while sprinting toward the cafe’s entrance. At this moment, groups of people instantly crowded the already densely populated third floor. The bodyguards waiting for Willow outside the entrance were pushed to the side by the crowd. “Miss Presgrave? Miss Presgrave!”

“Malcolm…” Willow saw her bodyguard but could not do anything because the crowd was pushing her forward. At that moment, Mae, who was holding on to her, was also pushed forward. “Willow!”

“Mae!” When Willow was about to chase after Mae, she was suddenly pushed to the ground. At that moment, a firm and strong arm grabbed her waist. The man took off his coat and tightly covered her entire figure. Then, while everyone was moving in the direction of the elevators and stairs, Willow was brought into a secluded hallway.

“Who are you? Let go of me!” Willow was shocked and frantic because the coat on her head rendered her unable to see anything. There was a strong arm around her waist, forcefully leading her away, and just as she was frantically pulling on the clothing on her head, she heard a deep male voice.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2283-“It’s me.” Hearing that voice made Willow stop struggling, and she willingly followed him. When she felt a wall behind her back, she quickly removed the clothing on her head and stared at her savior in disbelief. “It’s you?” The surprised woman looked at the man before.her, wondering why he was there. “Why are you…

She happily asked, but halfway through her question, Jasper covered her lips with his palm, stopping her from speaking. That was because he sensed someone approaching them. Since they were in a corner, she could feel him moving closer and leaning against her, rendering her no choice but gulp.

At this point, both were closely leaning against each other, and she even felt a little breathless from the pressure on her chest. However, she obediently complied and stayed quiet. She knew there was danger wherever this man was, and the explosion from earlier was no simple matter. What’s going on?

Meanwhile, Jasper narrowed his eyes and waited for the frantic footsteps to disappear before looking at the woman in his arms. When he did, he noticed her blushing cheeks and the faint shyness in her sparkling eyes.

Suddenly, Willow’s phone rang, startling her. She quickly took it out and saw it was Mae calling her. Before she could answer the call, the man took it away and switched it to silent mode.

“Follow me.” Once he said that, he grabbed her hand and led her to the back of the cafe. There were usually service elevators at those places.

Willow followed him, taking twists and turns while making their way to the hallway behind the kitchen. Despite her situation, she was happy because that man always appeared whenever she was in danger. How could a woman like her not fall for him? This was simply a scene that would only appear in her dreams!

In the meantime, Jasper accurately analyzed their route with just a look and quickly brought her toward the service elevator. At that moment, many were waiting for the elevator as well. Though the shopping mall had lost power, the elevators had a backup power supply, so they were still working.

When he saw the crowd, he decided against taking the elevator with Willow. He led her away, and she willingly followed. While walking along the mall’s hallway, she noticed she had never been to these places. Still, she was not in the mood to look around because her eyes were focused on the man before her.

However, the two men planning on kidnapping Willow were chasing after them. They had stuck a tracking device on her backpack when they passed by her long before. However, they did not expect the young woman to flee so quickly among the chaotic crowd.

Jasper and Willow arrived at the entrance to the stairs, and while he was leading her down, he frowned upon hearing footsteps from above them. Since he had quite an accurate sixth sense, he had a hunch that someone was following them. Are Bucky’s men still on our trail?

Suddenly remembering that those men were not ordinary, he believed they would find a way to keep their target in sight no matter what. Then, he immediately pulled Willow closer. With his strength, he tugged her straight into his embrace. Following that, she felt a large hand moving from her neck to her clothes. Her eyes. widened slightly as the man examined her hair and even her hands.

Nonetheless, Willow did not make a sound and allowed him to check her body. Soon, the man. took her bag and scrutinized it, ultimately finding a tracking device stuck under it. It was as small as a grain of rice, so it was easily undetectable. Jasper quickly took the device off and opened the second-floor door before tossing it through. Afterward, he continued to lead her downstairs.

In the meantime, the woman stayed quiet as she followed him to an exit at the back of the building, where she saw a crowd, along with police officers and firefighters who arrived at the scene right after the explosion.

She followed the man until he opened a car door and pushed her inside before getting in too.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2284 -“What’s going on?” asked Willow curiously. Turning to face her, Jasper looked at her and replied, “Willow, don’t return to the hotel and go. home to your parents. You’ve been targeted by a bad guy.” Dumbfounded, she blinked her eyes, asking, “Who’s targeting me?”

“The explosion at the mall was staged to cause chaos so they could kidnap you. Those kidnappers are hired by a rich businessman who has taken a fancy to you, so it’s no longer safe for you to stay at the hotel.” He warned her, hoping she would protect herself.

Gulping, Willow did not expect she would get involved in such an unwarranted situation. “So, you rushed here to save me?” she asked. Jasper nodded. “I found the time to come here, but I still have to complete my mission and can’t protect you.”

Feeling a warm feeling enveloping her, she said, “You’re protecting me now!” “This is the only time I will. I don’t have the time and effort to protect an outsider.” His gaze turned cold.

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured onto Willow’s warm heart. She pursed her lips. “I’m sorry that I caused you so much trouble.” When he started the car, she asked, “Are you going to send me home?”

Jasper remained quiet, but the car headed for the city center and finally arrived at the entrance of Presgrave Group. Then, he ordered, “Get out.”

Hearing that, she felt hurt and turned to face him. “If saving me makes things so difficult for you, don’t come to my rescue again. I don’t want to take up your time.”

Once she finished, she got out of the car but took a wrong step and tripped. While sitting on the step, she looked at a particular someone. However, she did not notice that when she fell, the man had instinctively reached out his hand to help her but was too far away, so he could only watch as she plunged to the floor.

“You should leave! Goodbye, Jasper.” Willow was somewhat furious and added, “No, let’s not meet each other ever again.” Listening to her childish retort, he snorted. “Stay with your parents, and don’t wander around then.” With that, the man sped away and soon disappeared into the crowd of cars.

It was then that Willow’s eyes reddened as she felt wronged. Although he had saved her, he did it unwillingly! Taking out her phone, she saw Mae, her bodyguards, and her parents had called her dozens of times, so she phoned her father first. “Willy, where are you? Are you hurt?”

“Dad, I’m fine. I’m currently in our company’s lobby! I’m about to head upstairs to look for Jared.” “That’s great.” Elliot felt relieved. He had just received a call from Malcolm, the bodyguard, mentioning the incident at the shopping mall and that he had lost Willow in the crowd.

“I need to call my friend. Let’s talk later, Dad.” After she said that, she hung up and called Mae, who soon answered her call. Mae was still looking for Willow outside the mall!

“Mae, you should return to the hotel first! I’m currently with Jared. Let’s keep in touch.” “Sure! Take care of yourself.” After their phone call ended, Willow limped up the stairs and headed toward the lobby.

Meanwhile, Elliot had already taken the elevator downstairs to get her. When he saw she had injured her leg, he felt heartbroken and supported her. “How did you get into this. state?”

“It’s a long story.” She smiled helplessly. The pain in her leg was fine, but the stuffiness in her heart would not disappear anytime soon. Back at the hotel.

Jasper turned on his laptop to see if Bucky’s men had returned and eventually discovered they had. Inside the video, the two men seemed frustrated, undoubtedly because they had failed their mission and could not deliver what was asked of them. However, he let out a slight sigh. If he had not discovered Willow was followed, she might have already been kidnapped by then.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2285-At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Jasper opened up and saw Aimee. “I ordered food. Let’s eat!” He nodded and came out of his room, after which she curiously asked, “Where did you head off to just now? Don’t tell me you went to see Miss Presgrave!”

“I didn’t,” he denied. Aimee felt he should not have taken action on his own, so she bit her lip, arguing, “Even if you’re my superior, you shouldn’t have taken action without me knowing. I have the right to know your every move.”

While sitting by the table, Jasper looked at her and declared, “I won’t do anything that would affect our mission.” “But you already have. Ever since Miss Presgrave appeared, you’ve been acting strange.” That was what kept her frustrated inside. Also, he had never hidden in his room to work before.

“Aimee, I said I won’t do anything that would affect our mission.” He emphasized and coldly added, “Also, don’t mention Miss Presgrave anymore.”

Stunned, Aimee could not help but sit down. because his words carried a slight deterrence to her. “Fine. I believe you, and I won’t mention Miss Presgrave again. Also, you can’t meet with her behind my back.”

On the other hand, the Presgraves had sent bodyguards to pack Willow’s items at the hotel. When Bucky’s men found out she would no longer be staying at the hotel, they had no choice but to return and report this to Bucky, who was displeased. ‘Is this how you do your work?”

“Mr. Wells, that woman must not be of an ordinary background. She has six bodyguards following her all the time. We can’t find a chance to get near her.”

“Mr. Wells, we should lay low and not cause any commotion until the seller arrives.” Hearing that, Bucky gave in. “Go and pick out two young women for me.”

The two subordinates felt relieved but still could not figure out who saved Willow. Moreover, that person also discovered their tracking device! One had to know that the tracking device was almost impossible to find unless the one searching was a professional.

When Willow returned home, she acted like she always did before her parents. As soon as she returned to her room, only she knew what her mind was thinking. She took out her phone, and while she used to enjoy surfing through videos online, she now only wanted to text a particular person.

When she remembered her dispute with him today, she worried that sending him a message now would be like proving herself wrong. After repeatedly looking at her phone, she tossed it aside and grabbed a book. After reading a few pages, she realized she could not concentrate. Anyhow, she felt annoyed because she seemed unable to think about anything else besides Jasper.

It was the first time Willow felt so helpless. She used to stay up late reading a book and could even come up with many interesting ideas, but Jasper resembled a giant, taking up all her. thoughts now, “What is this? Why do I keep thinking about. him?” She hugged her head, feeling like crying.

Soon, she concluded that she was sick, and Jasper was her symptom. Then, she grabbed her phone again and typed a text. I apologize. for whatever I said to you today. If you’re willing to forgive me, just send me a smiling emoji.

After that, she closed her eyes and sent the text, but after she did, she began feeling frustrated again. All kinds of thoughts crowded. her mind. What if he doesn’t reply? What if he ignores my text? What if he thinks I’m a dishonorable woman? What if he thinks I’m infatuated with him?

In the meantime, the man was busy with something on his laptop. When he heard the notification tone, he looked at his phone and did nothing except hold his phone after reading the text, seeming to be controlling his emotions.

In the end, he set down his device and ignored it. On the other hand, Willow waited anxiously but received no reply after half an hour, just like what she had expected.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2286 -At that point, Willow started regretting her actions. I shouldn’t have sent that text. Am I not just humiliating myself? She covered her face, feeling embarrassed.

However, she soon concluded that she must have been lonely, which was why she needed a man to fill her heart. There are countless men on earth, so why should I dwell on Jasper? Also, Dad is surrounded by many excellent men, so there’s no way I can’t find someone my type. That’s right. From tomorrow onward, I’ll get Dad to introduce me to a few of them, or I can ask Jared as well.

Anyway, she had to get Jasper out of her mind and find someone emotionally valuable to her, one who was also passionate about her. During breakfast early the following morning, Elliot told the family that his friend’s son was coming to attend the banquet. Since the other party was prestigious, he had to send some bodyguards to pick him up.

“Dad, how about I go?” Willow volunteered herself. “You?” He was taken aback. When did his daughter become so enthusiastic about such things? “Yes, I’ll go. I just happen to be free, and he’s an important guest, right? So, it’d be more appropriate if I went.”

“Alright, then. Let her go. I think she’s got too much time on her hands,” Anastasia told her husband. Her daughter had been idle at home recently, so it was a good chance for her to interact with others and understand how to better deal with people.

“Sure! You can go, but remember. He’s our guest, so no funny business!” Elliot exhorted his daughter. “Dad, trust me. I will surely take good care of our guest.” She promised confidently. “I noticed your eyes seem red. Why did you stay up late last night?” asked Anastasia with furrowed brows.

Willow felt hopeless. If only she had been doing something late last night… But the truth was she could not sleep because of one man! She kept dazing until the early morning before. falling asleep.

She had to eliminate the cause of her illness and cure her anxiety. Therefore, she saw no problem in interacting with young men. “The usual… Binge-watching until late at night,” she lied and giggled.

“Oh, you! Seems like you do have a lot of time on your hands,” Anastasia chastised while looking at her daughter affectionately. Since the guest’s plane was due to land at 10.00AM, Willow left home after finishing her breakfast.

At the same time, another group of people was heading for the airport-Aimee and Jasper. That was because the customer Bucky was waiting for was due to arrive on the same flight. When Willow arrived, she entered a cafe she frequented because it was less crowded. Since it specialized in premium coffee and service, fewer tourists would visit here.

She found a seat beside the window as she could see all the customers coming and going from the lobby. It also came with a great view of the majestic and extraordinary architecture of the building.

Looking at her watch, Willow saw that there was still over half an hour before the plane arrived and began thinking about how she would pass the time. At that moment, she heard footsteps coming from outside the cafe. It seemed like more customers were coming in.

There were not many people in the cafe, to begin with, so the sudden addition of two more attracted her attention. When she glanced in that direction, her eyes widened as she stared at the two approaching the entrance in disbelief. You gotta be kidding me. Averna is such a massive city, but why do I keep bumping into him?

The same question also occurred to Jasper, who even suspected Willow had been following him. Otherwise, why would he bump into her at a cafe at the airport in a big city?

Meanwhile, Aimee noticed Willow and subconsciously glanced at Jasper’s expression. The man quickly averted his gaze and deliberately chose a seat furthest away from Willow. In addition, he sat behind a pillar so that he would not have to face her.

When Willow saw his deliberate action to avoid eye contact with her, she felt inexplicably breathless from anger. Did she annoy him so much that he did not even wish to look at her?

She had never received such treatment before, and a strong sense of self-doubt made her look at her attire. After some thought, she realized it had nothing to do with her outfit because that man simply disliked her!

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2287 -Ever since they knew each other, she was just a troublemaker to him, causing him more hassle than he needed and even ruining his mission once. It could not be helped if he hated her.

Propping her chin on her palm, Willow sighed. She was already bored to tears, to begin with, but now, she was even more bored. Still, she turned her attention to the man, who was revealing his arm a little.

In the meantime, Aimee could see Willow from where she was seated, and from the corners of her eyes, she observed her disgruntled expression. A smirk tinged the edge of her lips before she faced the man working in front of her. “Would you like something to drink, honey?” She deliberately raised her voice, and Willow could hear her clearly in the quiet cafe.

“Whatever,” Jasper said nonchalantly. Sashaying, Aimee brought herself to the reception and ordered two coffees. When she returned to his side, she stopped next to him, crouched down, and got close to his face in front of Willow’s eyes.

With his quick reflexes, he interrupted her with his hand, and her kiss landed on the back of his hand. However, seated behind the pillar with her view blocked, Willow imagined that she had kissed him, and he had accepted it.

She could not help but take a few sharp breaths. Did I make a wrong guess? Are they more than just working partners but lovers as well? That woman is immaculate and fashionable, with a very aggressive and shrewd temperament. They’re working in the same office and even sharing the same room in a hotel. No matter how anyone else looks at it, they’re very intimate. Suddenly, she felt a tight wrench in her chest for some unknown reason, followed by a stuffy and painful sensation.

All her expressions were observed by Aimee, whom Jasper was watching, and she smiled triumphantly as she whispered into his ear, “What? Are you worried that Miss Presgrave will misunderstand us?”

“Shut up,” he growled, warning her. “I’m helping you out so that she’ll stop pestering you,” Aimee said with a smile. “Save it.” Then, he closed his laptop and rose to his feet. “I’m going to the bathroom.”

Willow saw that Jasper had stood up and went after him to the bathroom in the heat of the moment. At this sight, Aimee thought in annoyance, Miss Presgrave can’t seem to leave Jasper alone, eh? Trotting after him, Willow called, “Wait a minute, Jasper.”

Even so, he did not stop, and she had to follow him into the walkway leading to the bathrooms but lost sight of him after a few seconds. While she was in confusion, a pair of arms grabbed her out of the blue from the corner of the walkway and dragged her into a small storage room that happened to be at the side.

Barely able to catch her breath, Willow raised her head and met his deep, unreadable eyes staring at her. “What are you doing here?” he asked in a deep voice. Her eyebrows shot up. “I’m here to pick up someone.”

“I’m working. Don’t get in my way,” he warned. Biting her lower lip, she whined, “That’s because you didn’t reply to my messages. You could’ve at least replied to me after I apologized to you last night. Don’t you even have the time to do that?”

“Miss Presgrave, not everyone is your servant. Just because you texted me doesn’t mean I must reply to you.” He sneered with a soft snort.

Once again, Willow was tongue-tied, and blood rushed to her face at his sarcasm. She felt that the strength in her body was all sucked away by this man and started to lean back to rest against the wall. However, she did not realize she was still an arm’s length away from it.

“Ah!” It was a little late when she noticed that there was no wall behind her, and seeing that her head was about to make an impact against the concrete, Jasper extended his long arm and swiftly pulled her into his embrace..

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2288 -Since he had a tall figure and was slightly leaning in, there was half a finger’s length between Willow’s red lips and his when he pulled her into his embrace. They almost pressed against each other..

She exhaled lightly, and the man’s breaths seemed to grow heavier as well. The two did not remove themselves right away. Instead, they maintained a sliver of distance in between. For Willow, she did not want to push him away, but she was scared to get close too. She feared that everything was just her imagination and that she was the clown here.

She looked up to see the man’s thick eyelashes forming a fan-like shade over his eyes. It was rare to see such thick eyelashes around these parts. The man released her first, and she quickly stepped back. In the small narrow space, their breaths could be heard clearly.

Just then, a mouse suddenly dashed out of nowhere, perhaps startled by the movements, and coincidentally ran up to Willow’s feet. The man’s sharp senses seemed to have foreseen it as he clasped his hand over her mouth to muffle her upcoming screams. Then, he carried her in his arms.

Willow was afraid at first, but at that moment, her butt was seated on the man’s firm arms. She was carried in the man’s embrace like a child, and his other hand covered her dainty mouth. There was an indescribable yet suggestive quality to their posture.

Willow swallowed as she licked her lips anxiously. However, her small tongue accidentally touched the man’s palm as well. In that instant, a force seemed to ram into the man’s heart and turn his breaths even heavier. He reached out and put her down before opening the door and ordering her, “Get out.”

She was chased out just like that. Of course, the man came out after her. He walked toward the men’s bathroom while she went to the women’s with a reddened face.

What is going on?! When Willow returned to the cafe, Jasper was already back. He was working on his laptop, and the woman seated opposite him was looking at her with an examining look. When she met the woman’s gaze, the woman even smiled at her.

Willow returned to her seat, supporting her chin as she recalled everything that had happened. If he did not care about her life, why would he pick her up when the mouse ran up to her just now? Or did he take care of her on a whim?

She let out a sigh. He was working, so she decided not to bother him. “Miss Presgrave, there would be quite a crowd later. After we pick up Mr. Easteria later, we’ll take him here to meet up with you.” “All right.” Willow nodded, not wanting to leave the cafe right now, either.

The bodyguard went downstairs 10 minutes earlier. Just then, Aimee got up and went downstairs too, leaving Jasper alone. She wore a pair of sunglasses, which was an advanced video camera. All the videos she recorded would be sent to Jasper’s computer while he was in charge of analyzing their client’s identity so that they could lock onto their target easier.

Passengers began to appear one after the other. The bodyguard held up a sign with the words ‘Troy Easteria’ written on it.

Soon, the bodyguard quickly locked in on a target. The man was about 6 feet tall and wore fashionable sunglasses. Behind him, two bodyguards were carrying simple suitcases as they followed him. He paused in front of the welcoming signs, then walked toward the bodyguard.

“Welcome, Mr. Easteria.” The bodyguard smiled as he spoke. “Thank you.” Troy Easteria flashed a handsome. smile. His features indicated mixed lineage, and there was a sapphire earring on his left ear, injecting a hint of charm into his handsomeness. He was 26 years old, but he exuded the aura of a womanizer. “This way, please. The young lady is waiting for you.”

“Miss Presgrave, right? We met each other once when we were young.’ Troy still remembered. the princess of the Presgrave Family, Back then, she was five, and he was eight. They were at a banquet, and she was dancing alone on the stage. She received applause from every guest there, and it was then that he was attracted to this little princess.

As such, the bodyguard led Troy to the cafe. They were not in a rush to check into the hotel in the city, anyway, so it would be the same no matter where they met.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2289-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 time no see, Miss Presgrave.”

Willow looked up at Troy, then stood up politely. “Have we met before?” “Yes. You were five, and I 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 some even 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 calls me Willy.” 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 I 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 I get to the city,” Troy said, smiling.

Willow curved her lips into a smile. “I’m the host, so I should be the one welcoming you. If there are any gifts involved, they should come from me.” “Lend me your car, then! My private jet couldn’t send me here, so they couldn’t ship my car either.”

“Sure! I 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! I 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. Come down, 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.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2290-Willow looked mischievously at Jasper with a raised eyebrow and said, “You didn’t say please.” “Please excuse me, Miss Presgrave,” he said through gritted teeth, his deep eyes locked onto her.

It was only then that she retracted her arm and made way. Although Jasper left, she felt at sense of disappointment instead. Troy blinked, then whipped around to look at Jasper’s receding figure. It had only been a few seconds, but Troy could sense that Jasper was not any ordinary man.

He then remembered Willow switching places on purpose, then blocking the man’s path intentionally, along with the conversation she shared with him. It felt like she was not chatting with him in earnest. Instead, she seemed to be provoking someone.

“Miss Presgrave, who was that just now?” Troy asked straightforwardly. She shook her head. “No one.” “It’s someone you like, isn’t it? I can’t believe there’s someone you can’t get.” He was interested in this matter. Willow, however, refused to admit it. ‘What? I’m not trying to get him.”

“Do you need help?” Troy, on the other hand, was intent on helping her get the man. She blinked. “You’ll help me?” “I can work perfectly with you as long as I’m in Averna.”

Willow never thought that Troy would offer to help her. She felt it was not a bad idea, so she nodded and said, “All right. I’ll treat you to meals and stuff when you’re in Averna, so when I need you to put on an act, just play along.”

“Of course.” He had always been a mischievous person. Some people in this world were on the same wavelengths; they would not be attracted to each other but could have fun together regardless. Willow and Troy were probably one such example.

Three days later, the Presgraves’ baby shower was held in a private manor. Almost 200 guests turned up for the occasion, and every guest came with an outstanding reputation.

Jared carried his son in his arms as he led his wife, Ellen, who had just gotten out of confinement, into the hall. Standing before the tall and handsome man, she wore a gray evening dress that looked gentle and elegant. Her long hair framed her pretty face, and because of her recent pregnancy, she had an aura of lushness and abundance.

As words of congratulations sounded from the people around them, Jared and Ellen smiled and nodded in response. The guests were amazed at the young child of the Presgrave Family, who was born with a golden spoon. How amazing to be blessed since birth!

Meanwhile, the child lying asleep in his father’s arms was completely oblivious. His small features were tinted pink, and even though his tiny face was plump, he looked very much like his father. Willow brought Troy over to look at her nephew. He envied the family, but his heart still longed for the freedom of unattachment.

The baby shower proceeded smoothly. Many elders were present, making the younger generations, like Willow, feel a little stressed, so she took Troy out for a drive. As the night fell, they sat in a high-class bar, gazing at the glimmering stars outside the window. She held the wine glass in her hand and could not help but think of that man.

Seeing her in a daze, Troy, sitting next to her, had the urge to help her. “If you miss him so much, just go to him!” “I can’t do that. He thinks I’m annoying and kept getting in his way,” Willow said sullenly.

Troy studied her. Everyone would love this little princess of the Presgrave Family. She was perfect in terms of background, looks, and personality, so what man would not like her?

“He’s just blind for not seeing your best sides. Don’t worry. I’m here.” He comforted her. Willow picked up the wine glass and took a sip from it. However, somewhere nearby, a paparazzi who had managed to get in spotted them. He quickly raised his phone and took a shot.

He recognized her because she was in a recently released photo of a banquet held for rich young ladies all around the world. He had been in this line of work long enough to recognize Willow right away.

When he saw the handsome man sitting opposite her, he was delighted at his luck, for he managed to take a shot of Miss Presgrave’s romantic affair.

At that moment, Troy caught sight of the reporter out of the corner of his eye. Then, a malicious idea occurred to him. He got up and walked over to Willow, then loosely put an arm around her, saying, “Willy, do you see a reporter over there? Do you want to hit the headlines with me tomorrow?”
