My Four Miraculous Treasures (Willow and Jasper) novel Chapter 19

At the last minute, Willow seized the opportunity to attack. She held Jasper’s face with both her hands and pulled him deeper into the kiss, thereby blocking his vision.

Then, the children came running out of the office in rapid succession.

Even though they rushed by Willow and Jasper, because of how close the two were standing and the fact that they were too short to see anything, they failed to recognize their mother standing there.

They ran into the elevator in a panic, and swiftly made their way downstairs.

Finally, Edith came running out of the office.

The moment she came out, she was greeted by the sight of the couple kissing. Once again, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. It shook her to the core, and it hurt deeply.

After all, the man kissing was Jasper Hughes—the man she had loved for a decade!

She was frozen on the spot, rage and jealousy filling her eyes.

On the other hand, Willow’s heart was racing. She was at a loss for what to do.

She could feel Jasper’s hot breath scorching her face as they kissed passionately. His lips were burning hot, setting her heart on a wild rhythm.

Willow was so shocked, she forgot how to respond to the situation. They had only kissed for a few seconds, and her brain was already mush. Her world spun as her body went limp.

If he hadn’t held her up, she would have collapsed on the floor.

She was being carried away when she suddenly felt his arm reach under her clothes and stroked her back, sending a burst of electricity through her body.

Willow’s brain snapped back to reality. She shuddered when she realized what they had been doing, and quickly pushed him away. “What are you doing, Mr. Hughes?”

Her crystal clear eyes were wet with tears, but so too were her red lips from making out. At that moment, she looked like a tempting red rose waiting to be picked.

Jasper’s eyes were deep and dark. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Isn’t this what you wanted? Quit acting!”

She clearly enjoyed making out with him. Why else would she have pulled him closer?

Whether it was the touch of her skin or the sweetness of her lips, everything about Willow reminded him of the woman from five years ago. He suspected that Willow was that very person.

If she really was that woman from five years ago, and if she really hooked up with Dale, he would never forgive her!

And yet, he lost control of himself and made out with her.

All the evidence he found suggested that the woman from before had died in that house when it crashed in on itself. And yet, Willow felt too familiar to him.

“I…”

“Mr. Hughes!”

Edith leaped forward and quickly interrupted their conversation. She made sure to shoot a disgusted glare at Willow, warning the latter to keep away from Jasper.

In the capacity of Jasper’s secretary, Edith reported, “Sir, I’ve looked into Ms. Nason’s background through HR. She is from Scunthorpe Harbor in Bryxton, Janesville.”
