My Four Miraculous Treasures (Willow and Jasper) novel Chapter 275

He’d been able to pull her into the car earlier because he’d caught her by surprise. Now that she was on her guard, he probably wouldn’t be able to pull it off a second time.

And so, instead of opening the door beside him, he did something which had Willow utterly mind-boggled: He climbed over into the driver’s seat.

How far was he going to go, just to drive her home today?

Making it into the front seat, Xavier started the engine and drove off.

Willow was irritated by how he kept trying to do her favors, no matter how unwelcome. It was true that she owed him right now for saving her from Yelena’s trap. Now, her debt of obligation to him was only going to increase.

The last time this happened, she’d paid her fare. Would she have to do so again?

“Willow, do you know why I named my company Goodwill?” Xavier’s gentle voice could easily be heard, as the car drove smoothly along asphalt roads.

Jolted back to the present, Willow followed his cue and asked, “Why?”

“It represents the goodwill we used to share between us. In that sense, I named my company for you.”

Hearing this, Willow felt a horrible sinking feeling in her heart. She’d guessed that it might be something to do with her, when first she’d found out about Xavier being the founder. However, to hear him actually say it out loud… she still felt the impact of the blow, nonetheless.

It wasn’t always so easy to let go.

However, for some mistakes, there was no second chance.

It was frustrating, but there was nothing to be done besides return home. Fortunately, she kept her handphone in her pocket, and there was nothing in her handbag besides some basic make-up supplies.

When she opened the door to her apartment, she was greeted by the pleasant aroma of milk, healing her heart and soothing her soul, so that all her exhaustion was instantly washed away.

“Mommy!” Four adorable little children came running to her on a storm of tiny legs, like a flock of baby penguins. Cute and delightful.

With a big smile, Willow knelt down to receive them. The sounds of their cheerful greeting made all her struggles worth it.

Hailey was the first to reach her, throwing herself into her mother’s arms. She snuggled tenderly up against Willow’s face, while embracing her with her whole body.
