Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2004

Although Jasper’s hair had been dampened by the rain, it made him look even more charming. Aimee’s emotions were undulated in her heart. Every time she went on a mission with him, she found herself falling harder for him. No woman could resist his charm.

She realized it had come to a point where she could no longer stop loving him.

Jasper focused on working on the computer as if not wanting to waste even a second. Most of his time was spent carrying out the most dangerous missions in the world. He was protecting the safety and interests of this country.

Around 30 minutes later, he sent a decoded number to the headquarters, and he received a reply from the other party ten minutes later. ‘It works.’

The mission they were tasked with was a success. Aimee stopped the car in the underground parking lot of the hotel and got out of the vehicle. Jasper passed her the black leather case and said, “Take it. I have to go somewhere else.”

She took a look at her wristwatch and asked, “Where are you going at this hour?”

Without responding to her, Jasper got into the driver’s seat. A heartbroken Aimee asked, “Are you going to look for Miss Presgrave?”

Instead of replying, he hurriedly stepped on the gas pedal as if he was going to deal with something that was even more important than his missions.

The bolts of lightning continued to strike from the sky as the man’s black car charged toward a particular hotel.

Willow lay down on the couch and hugged the bolster, ready to endure the torturous night on her own. When her parents gave her a call, she told them that she was having fun with her friends. Even though

they were worried, they wouldn’t interfere in her private life.

She repeatedly had the urge to call or text a certain someone, but she stopped herself from doing that. Compared to her fear, she had a stronger wish for him to be safe. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

During the red light, Jasper fished out his phone and took a look, but there were no messages or missed calls from the woman. Didn’t she say she would call me when she was afraid? Is there another man by her side? Is that why she’s not terrified?

He let out a sigh. If there was someone else by her side, he didn’t have to rush over. Nevertheless, he had an intense urge to go to the woman. While he was struggling internally, the traffic light turned green. He then stepped on the gas pedal.

When he arrived at the underground parking lot of the hotel, he entered the elevator and headed straight to the top floor. Following a clap of thunder, Willow heard the doorbell ringing. She took a look at the time and realized it was 2.30AM.

What the heck? Who’s looking for me at this hour?

She tensed up in an instant. Who is it? Who’s outside the door now? Could it be Troy? No way! If he wanted to look for me, he would’ve called me in advance. Are my parents outside? That’s impossible too. I didn’t tell them where I was. Who is it? Is a criminal trying to harm me?

Her phone started ringing just then. She took a look at the caller ID and appeared surprised because Jasper was calling her out of the blue.

She connected the call and said, “Hello?”

“Open the door,” the man said in his masculine voice.

A surprised Willow looked at the door. “Are you outside?”

“Yes.”

She tossed the phone away and bolted toward the door, looking as happy as a kid. Without hesitation, she opened the door. When she saw the man outside, her eyes widened with disbelief. “Why are you all wet?”

“I just came back from a mission.” Upon finishing his words, the man stepped into the room. When he realized there was no one else in the living room, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

Not only was the man soaked to the skin but some strands of grass had also been intertwined with his hair. It seemed that the mission required him to be in the wilderness.

He must be exhausted.

“You’re all wet. Why don’t you take a shower?” Willow said while feeling sorry for him.
