My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 362

Jasper was still groggy from sleep, but his eyes widened at the name on the caller ID.

There was a hint of iciness in his gaze as he stared at the screen.

Willow’s heart was pounding as she watched him stare at the phone.

Every nerve in her body tensed with worry.

She prayed that Jasper wouldn’t answer the phone.

If he did, Lara was sure to say something along the lines of ‘What are you doing?’, ‘Where are you?’ and ‘Your children miss you.’

If Lara found out that she was with Jasper and they had been doing the unspeakable, Lara would insist on causing an uproar.

Also, should she mention the children, Jasper was sure to find out about them eventually with his intelligence.

Willow would lose everything, especially her most precious children.

She couldn’t bear to withstand such an outcome.

Jasper glanced at Willow, noticing her widened eyes and careful breathing.

He raised an eyebrow and said with an alluring voice, “You look anxious.”

Despite her panic, Willow tried to compose herself and said, “Of course I am. What am I supposed to tell my mother if she finds out that we’ve been sleeping together?”

As she spoke with forced composure, she tried to grab the phone.

However, Jasper raised his arm to avoid her hand. He shot her a glance. “Just tell her the truth.”

Having said that, he slid his finger on the phone to answer it.

Willow’s chest tightened at the sight. Her nerves were on the verge of snapping from the pressure.

The ringtone stopped the moment Jasper finished sliding. The call was automatically canceled because it wasn’t answered for a long time.

Willow relaxed slightly after the phone stopped ringing.

However, she couldn’t loosen her guard completely because Lara might try calling again.

Jasper looked at the phone’s darkened screen and his brows furrowed. He then tossed it aside and reached for Willow to pull her towards him, forcefully making her rest her head on his arm in an intimate gesture.

Willow went to great lengths to put some distance between them, so she was disheartened the moment she was pulled back to him.
