Chapter 1974 Awkward Encounter
- In her nightmare, Willow was terrified and tightly clung to the man's arm. In reality, she was also holding a man's arm, and as her tiny face snuggled closer, she eventually fell asleep with her face resting against his arm.
- As the first ray of dawn poured in, Jasper was awoken by birds chirping. He was about to get up when his body sensed that one of his arms was being tightly embraced by someone. Hence, he turned his head to see Willow asleep with her face pressed against his biceps, where she was clinging to him like a clingy little cat. Despite the bright sunlight streaming in through the window, he noticed the girl's face was as pure and translucent as a peeled egg, and it was smooth and tender, with every feature clearly visible and a stark contrast to his tanned skin.
- Then, he attempted to withdraw his arm, but the more he pulled, the tighter she clung to it in her sleep, as if she regarded his arm as a pillow. With a soft sigh, he continued to lie down to allow her to hold onto him a little longer, hoping she would release his arm later. Half an hour later, he got out of bed after she flipped over and released her grip on his arm.
