Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2029

The seas were slightly turbulent at night, so the ship was not the best place to rest. Willow packed her things up and turned around only to almost crash into the guy behind her, but she was delighted. “You’re back!” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Yeah. I’m here to help you with your luggage.” Jasper looked at her gently.

Willow felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She loved that he cared about her so much. Jasper took all her luggage aside from her little backpack. They set up camp at a spot that was clean and where the walls of the mountain would block out any winds.

The team members and bodyguards were setting up their tents as well.

Johanna came over and asked, “Miss, it can be dangerous at night. Should I stay in the same tent as you?”

Willow blinked. She knew Johanna well, but when it came to sleep, Willow had a habit of not sharing a bed unless she acknowledged them enough to even hug them without any reservations. Aside from her family, there was only one person who fit the bill right now.

She turned her sights to Jasper, who was helping out, and her face turned red. She said, “I-I’d like to stay with Mr. Wyatt, Johanna.”

Johanna was surprised. The head of the Presgrave Family did allow them to be in the same room, but not in a tent. That was a lot smaller than a room. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, miss. The tent’s a bit small.”

“I don’t mind.” Willow stared at Jasper, wondering how she could convince him into sharing a tent with her.

Johanna looked at the young lady. It was obvious Willow only had eyes for Jasper, and she sighed. He’s so lucky. This is the first time I’ve seen her have so much affection for a man. “Then I’ll—”

Willow stopped her. “No. Don’t tell Dad about it. Do not notify him about my plan, and keep this a secret,” said Willow imperiously. If her father were to know of this, he would stop her at all costs.

“But…”

“No buts. You’re with me now, so you’re going to listen to me,” said Willow. “And Jasper’s a gentleman. He won’t do anything to me.” The other way around, however… She did it before back then—she hugged him all she wanted. He was the only one she was willing to share a tent with.

Johanna nodded. I’ll have to make sure a few of us get a tent beside them. If Jasper tries anything funny, we’ll kill him.

Twelve tents were set up a while later, and then the members started talking about who would get which tent. The ladies would share tents, while the men would talk about tent-sharing with other guys they got along with. It was then Winston realized Willow was still quiet. Given her special status, he knew she wouldn’t share a tent with anyone. He pointed at a tent. “That one’s yours, Willow. You can take it all for yourself.”

“But I don’t want to stay by myself. I’d be scared. I need someone to share a tent with,” she said.

“Hm, so who do you have in mind?” Winston asked curiously. Must be a lady or her bodyguard.

“Him.” Willow pointed at Jasper.

Shocked, Winston looked around, but there were no ladies around Jasper. So that means she wants Jasper to stay with her? “That can’t do, Willow. Mr. Wyatt is a guy. It’ll make things awkward,” Winston said.

Willow smiled and looked at Jasper. “Care to share a tent with me?”
