At that point, Willow started regretting her actions. I shouldn’t have sent that text. Am I not just humiliating myself? She covered her face, feeling embarrassed.
However, she soon concluded that she must have been lonely, which was why she needed a man to fill her heart. There are countless men on earth, so why should I dwell on Jasper? Also, Dad is surrounded by many excellent men, so there’s no way I can’t find someone my type. That’s right. From tomorrow onward, I’ll get Dad to introduce me to a few of them, or I can ask Jared as well.
Anyway, she had to get Jasper out of her mind and find someone emotionally valuable to her, one who was also passionate about her. During breakfast early the following morning, Elliot told the family that his friend’s son was coming to attend the banquet. Since the other party was prestigious, he had to send some bodyguards to pick him up.
“Dad, how about I go?” Willow volunteered herself. “You?” He was taken aback. When did his daughter become so enthusiastic about such things? “Yes, I’ll go. I just happen to be free, and he’s an important guest, right? So, it’d be more appropriate if I went.”
“Alright, then. Let her go. I think she’s got too much time on her hands,” Anastasia told her husband. Her daughter had been idle at home recently, so it was a good chance for her to interact with others and understand how to better deal with people.
“Sure! You can go, but remember. He’s our guest, so no funny business!” Elliot exhorted his daughter. “Dad, trust me. I will surely take good care of our guest.” She promised confidently. “I noticed your eyes seem red. Why did you stay up late last night?” asked Anastasia with furrowed brows.
Willow felt hopeless. If only she had been doing something late last night… But the truth was she could not sleep because of one man! She kept dazing until the early morning before. falling asleep.
She had to eliminate the cause of her illness and cure her anxiety. Therefore, she saw no problem in interacting with young men. “The usual… Binge-watching until late at night,” she lied and giggled.
