Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1977

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

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
