My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 428

Before long, their food was served.

A steak was placed on the table in front of Willow. It looked and smelled delicious. Her lungs were filled with the tantalizing aroma of cooked meat.

Jasper had been served exactly the same kind of steak. This came as a shock for Willow—to think that his ‘usual’ would be the very item that Willow had picked out at random!

What were the odds?!

Willow stared at the surprisingly similar steaks that had been served.

Jasper met her inquiring gaze with one of his own. “You know what’s good here. Not your first visit?”

Warning sirens blared inside her head. Hurriedly, she answered, “I had no idea what I was ordering! I just pointed at one of the pictures in the menu.”

If Jasper were to discover that, barely an hour ago, she’d just been here with Xavier, and the two of them had also been seated at this exact same table…

Well, things wouldn’t end well for her.

Willow lowered her gaze, picked up knife and fork, and began cutting a chunk off the steak, while industriously averting her eyes from the man across the table. Jasper had an extraordinarily piercing sort of stare which would surely cause her facade to waver.

She cut off a piece of steak, and deposited it into her own mouth. It was juicy and tender, a treat to eat.

Previously, Xavier simply had to bring her here, by hook or by crook, but Willow hadn’t had the appetite to take so much as one bite of the steak that he’d ordered for her.

But now, the one she had to face was Jasper, his intimidating aura blasting her in the face like a howling winter wind, filling every fiber of her being with abject terror. There was no way she could refuse to eat, if he was the one involved.
