Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1984

Back in the country.

Willow had a visitor today; it was her senior who had come to see her. Willow insisted that she join her for her nephew’s one-month birthday celebration before she left.

“Willow, I feel so blessed! You’ve taken care of everything throughout my stay here,” her senior exclaimed while standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the presidential suite.

“No need to worry about details like that with me, Mae. You took great care of me as well when I first started in this line of work! Now it’s my turn to be the gracious host,” Willow replied. She had discussed it with her father, and she could stay at the hotel to spend a few days with her friend before the baby’s banquet, which was still a week away.

“Mae, there’s a fantastic Celonese restaurant downstairs. Let me take you there for some delicious food.”

“Okay, let’s go!” Mae Yang agreed. She was a local, but she was curious about everything in her home country as she had grown up abroad.

Willow and Mae then arrived at the restaurant. When they were happily discussing something interesting, Willow’s gaze suddenly wandered to a private room from which several people emerged one after another. The first group consisted of a middle-aged man flanked by two tall and elegant women. Being completely oblivious to the other customers of the restaurant, they were unconcerned even when they drew the attention of everyone in the place.

Willow was also one of those people who furrowed her brows. Just as she was about to avert her gaze and pay no mind to the man, she unexpectedly caught sight of a couple walking out hand in hand from behind.

The spoon in Willow’s hand slipped, falling right into her coffee cup and splashing a few drops of scalding liquid. And yet, she didn’t even react. Her eyes widened as she stared at the couple who had just emerged, her gaze fixating on the man.

She knew the man.

It was Jasper.

She had bumped into the man she thought she would never see again in her life just half a month later at a hotel in her home country. The only difference today was that he was holding hands with a striking woman as they walked toward the restaurant’s exit like a couple.

“Willow?” Mae looked at Willow in confusion as she attempted to wipe the spilled coffee off her hand with a tissue. “What are you looking at?”

Without waiting for Mae to wipe the coffee away, Willow suddenly stood up in a hurry. “Mae, I need to step out for a moment. Wait for me here.”

As soon as she said that, she rushed toward the entrance of the building without her purse. She noticed that the elevator doors were about to close after glancing around. “Wait!” she shouted.

Someone kindly pressed the elevator button for her, and the doors opened again. It was then that the man standing in the corner was revealed. At that moment, he was smoothing out the hair of his companion beside him. However, when his gaze fell upon the woman rushing toward them, his hand came to an abrupt stop. Even his face froze as a hint of confusion flickered in his eyes. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Willow managed to squeeze herself into the elevator cabin. She chose to stand in a direction opposite Jasper and leaned against the wall so that she could look directly at him.

Jasper glanced at her briefly before he looked at the woman beside him. His companion also stole a glance at Willow. She keenly noticed that the beautiful woman had been fixated on the man by her side.

It was not the look of someone who has spotted an attractive guy; instead, it resembled the expression one would have when they saw someone they had feelings for. It was a mixture of surprise, disappointment, and a ton of other emotions.

Who is she? Why did she come after us?

“Excuse us,” one of the beautiful women whom the other man was hugging called out in a melodious voice when they reached a certain floor.

Willow stepped aside upon hearing that. However, after the three individuals left, Jasper grabbed his companion’s hand and exited as well, leaving Willow feeling flustered and at a loss as she stood in the elevator by herself.

“It really is him,” Willow murmured to herself. She had initially thought she was seeing things, but the man was undoubtedly Jasper Wyatt.

He has a beautiful woman with him, and they are staying at this hotel. They must be sharing a room!
