Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2061

“It was my negligence. I didn’t even notice this. For now, we can’t reveal anything to the outside, especially not to Jett. We need to search in the sea as soon as possible.”

“Yes. We need to do it quickly, and we must keep it a secret when we go underwater.” Willow was excited about the possibility of searching underwater. Maybe they could get ahead.

She walked out of Winston’s office and saw a certain man who had just left. She could tell from his avoiding gaze that he felt embarrassed about the kiss, as it seemed to be an impulsive act driven by his loss of control.

Though her face was also warm, she still wanted to share her discovery with him. She reached out and held his hand while saying, “Let’s talk in my room.”

Jasper was once again pulled back into her room by Willow. As soon as the door closed, the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous. She showed him the drawing and said, “Take a look. I just made a discovery. We suspect that the ancient artifacts were hidden underwater.”

He took the drawing and analyzed it. With his intelligence, he quickly noticed the same thing and nodded in agreement. “It’s highly possible. I will dive tomorrow to search.”

“I’ll go with you,” she commented.

“No!” Jasper immediately refused. He thought that this dangerous task was not something Willow should undertake.

“I’m good at diving. I can do it!” Willow insisted. She wanted to go underwater with him.

“I said it’s not possible, and that’s final.” Jasper opposed firmly. From NôvelDrama.Org.

She looked at him as she felt a bit aggrieved. “Why can’t I do it?”

“There are potential dangers at any moment underwater. In this area of the sea, you don’t know if there are strong currents or sharks. In any case, you are not allowed to go underwater.” His gaze firmly locked onto her as he announced, “You stay on the shore and wait for me.”

“What about you? It’s dangerous! I’ll have my father send professional divers over.” Truth was, Willow was also worried about him.

“You can send people over, but I will go down and check first.” Jasper still wanted to protect her. “I have experience. Nothing will happen to me.”

Willow helplessly looked at him. “Okay. I’ll have my father send someone over, and you can just check the area. Don’t take too much risk. I’ll worry about you too.” After saying that, she put her hands around his sturdy waist and lifted her head to look at him.

Jasper’s breathing couldn’t help but quicken again as he looked at her beautiful face. His willpower was put to an unprecedented test.

“I have one more question to ask you. Your kissing skills are pretty good. Where did you learn them from?” Willow asked.

This was important to her.

He was speechless for a few seconds before answering, “I learned it myself.”

She burst into laughter. “Really?”

“Yes. You know I never lie to you,” Jasper stated. And I will never lie to you in the future too.

Willow’s heart warmed, and she hugged him even tighter while saying impulsively, “Jasper, let’s be in a relationship!”

Jasper was stunned upon hearing that. He hadn’t expected her to be the one to take the initiative. For a moment, he looked at her and didn’t know how to respond. He knew that if he agreed, he would have to promise a lifetime commitment.

As such, he was afraid he couldn’t live up to it in the future. If he were just an ordinary office worker, he could talk about relationships casually, but his identity didn’t allow him to accept a relationship so easily.

He couldn’t even control his own fate, let alone drag a woman into his life.

“Willow, let’s focus on completing this mission first, okay?” Jasper tried to soothe her.

Willow also knew that she couldn’t push him too hard. After all, his identity was special, but that was okay. She had time and could wait.

She smiled sweetly and murmured, “Okay! Take your time to think about it. Just let me know when you’ve made a decision.”

How could Jasper reject such a lively and innocent woman? In fact, he was already standing on the edge of a cliff, ready to fall into her sweet smile at any moment.

“Okay. I’ll prepare the diving equipment, and I’ll go down to check at dawn,” Jasper commented.
