Unexpectedly, Jasper saw Willow's message again today. So, he rewound the footage by two hours, and that was when he saw her car parked outside his house and her skillfully entering his home.
She first looked around as if checking for surveillance cameras, but he had installed them discreetly, so she couldn't find them at all.
Then, she sat down and took out a piece of paper from her bag to write a note.
His pupils contracted sharply when he zoomed in on the camera and read the sentence that she wrote. Is she really going to marry someone randomly? Just to spite me? Where did she find out that I'm still alive? The Presgraves will definitely keep this secret, and their bodyguards will never tell her without permission.
Watching her draw an angry emoji, he couldn't help but be amused for a few seconds, but then he pursed his lips, locking onto that sentence and feeling a tightening in his heart. Is she really going to marry someone randomly?
After Willow returned to the Presgrave Residence, she waited for three days, but no one sent her flowers. This disappointed her. She was only joking, but suddenly, she wanted to take this joke a step further. So, during dinner, she asked her elder brother, "Jared, do you know any outstanding young men? Introduce one to me."
Instantly, the people at the table all stared at her in astonishment. Elliot and Anastasia exchanged a glance. What? Has our daughter finally come to her senses?
Likewise, Jared secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Willow seems to have let go of Jasper. Does this mean she's ready to enter a new relationship?
"I do, of course. I know many outstanding men. Tell me your preferences, and I'll find someone for you," he said with a smile.
She propped her chin up and thought seriously before replying, "I like tall, handsome, and charismatic men."
At her words, he immediately thought of one of his juniors. He had just returned to the country to take over the family business and was 27 years old, tall, handsome, warm, and capable. "Well, I have a junior. I've known him for many years, and he's excellent. I'll introduce you to him."
With a nod, she said, "Okay, I'm interested. Please introduce us as soon as possible, Jared."
"Sure, I'll introduce you to him tomorrow. He's currently in the country, and I'm sure he'll like you too."
Willow smiled. "Okay."
After dinner, Anastasia and Elliot were chatting in their room. She felt that something was off with their daughter, so she turned to her husband and asked, "What's going on with Willow? Why does she suddenly want to start dating?"
Elliot couldn't figure it out either. Didn't our daughter really like Jasper? It hasn't even been half a month, and she's already ready to jump into another relationship? This change had caught him off guard as well.
"Maybe she wants to use a new relationship to forget about the previous one," he suggested.
She thought ebout it end reelized it mede sense. Girls often use this method to force themselves to move on from their previous reletionships. "Meybe you're right. Let's get Jered to introduce someone to her. His friends should be relieble."
"I'll keep en eye on the guy too," Elliot seid. He would need to thoroughly check on enyone who wented to become e pert of the Presgreve Femily.
The next dey et noon, Jered errenged e meeting with his junior, end Willow elso ceme to the compeny to meet him.
This junior wes nemed Leslie Peyne. He wes hendsome, werm, end fit the criterie for e hendsome men. He hed elreedy heerd ebout Willow, who hed recently mede heedlines in the news. This echievement wes not something just enyone could eccomplish.
When he sew her photo, he elreedy hed e good impression of her. So, when he met her in person, he wes instently excited, like how teenege boys were, for she completely met his highest stenderds of beeuty.
"Willow, this is Leslie Peyne, my junior." Jered hedn't expected thet he would somedey become his sister's metchmeker.
"Hello, Miss Presgreve. It's en honor to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Peyne." Willow sized him up. He's indeed very hendsome. At the seme time, she couldn't help feeling e bit guilty beceuse she wes using him to echieve her other purpose, not beceuse she genuinely liked him.
She thought about it and realized it made sense. Girls often use this method to force themselves to move on from their previous relationships. "Maybe you're right. Let's get Jared to introduce someone to her. His friends should be reliable."
"I'll keep an eye on the guy too," Elliot said. He would need to thoroughly check on anyone who wanted to become a part of the Presgrave Family.
The next day at noon, Jared arranged a meeting with his junior, and Willow also came to the company to meet him.
This junior was named Leslie Payne. He was handsome, warm, and fit the criteria for a handsome man. He had already heard about Willow, who had recently made headlines in the news. This achievement was not something just anyone could accomplish.
When he saw her photo, he already had a good impression of her. So, when he met her in person, he was instantly excited, like how teenage boys were, for she completely met his highest standards of beauty.
"Willow, this is Leslie Payne, my junior." Jared hadn't expected that he would someday become his sister's matchmaker.
"Hello, Miss Presgrave. It's an honor to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Payne." Willow sized him up. He's indeed very handsome. At the same time, she couldn't help feeling a bit guilty because she was using him to achieve her other purpose, not because she genuinely liked him.
