Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2068

Willow knew that he was just concerned about her. So, she reached out and hugged his waist while looking at him with a pitiful expression. “Please, just let me go underwater! I promise I will be careful, Jasper.”

After that, she held his hand and swung it around, as if he was the decision-maker for this project whereas she was just his employee.

In reality, Willow was the one who called the shots here!

“You will have to stay close to me and not leave my sight.” The man sighed. He was only willing to compromise if she agreed to his terms.

Willow immediately hugged his neck happily as she tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. “Got it! I will definitely stay by your side.”

Jasper let out a soft sigh. “You’ll be the death of me.”

However, she was grinning from ear to ear. His words merely meant that she had the ability to control him!

To her, this was definitely not a bad thing! She now had the upper hand on him and could keep him in the palm of her hand forever.

No other woman was allowed to get close to him except for her. In fact, she could already feel a wave of jealousy wash over her at just the thought of this.

Such an intense feeling of possessiveness was something she had never felt toward anyone else before.

After they decided on the time to dive, everyone started to prepare their equipment. None of them dawdled as they wasted no time in getting underwater. The seabed was clear, and as it was a shallow sea, these relics had been quietly resting here for a thousand years. Some metals still emitted a sparkling glow under the sunlight.

Willow wore a diving suit and followed closely beside Jasper. Frankly, they looked like a lovely merman and mermaid swimming together as they donned tight-fitting suits.

Jasper would frequently turn around to look at her, and she would swiftly respond by giving him a thumbs-up gesture, indicating that she was doing fine.

The salvaging work soon began. She cleaned the relics and placed them on the salvage equipment nearby as he stayed beside her like a dutiful sentinel. Sometimes, he would help her take the larger items from her.

The first day of salvage was a great success. According to the list, they had salvaged two hundred relics on the first day. It was incredibly exciting for them.

At the same time, Jett was constantly observing the island, not knowing what Willow was up to. A person wearing a diving suit entered his sight right then.

He instantly understood what was happening and angrily flung the binoculars aside. “The relics are in the sea, and Willow Presgrave is salvaging them. Damn it!”

Once he said that, he started scolding the people who had refused to go underwater a few days ago. “You people have ruined my grand plan.”

“But… we really saw several sharks swimming in the sea that day.”

“I don’t care. I don’t care if there are sharks or not. Prepare the diving suits and go underwater immediately. I want to know if the relics are in the sea! We have to grab some for ourselves before they are done salvaging.”

Jett’s subordinates didn’t dare to tarry a second longer. Since Willow’s people were already underwater, they were fine with making the same trip. Thus, they hastily put on the diving equipment and were ready to dive toward Willow’s cruise ship.

Meanwhile, Willow also received some news.

“What? Jett’s people have also gone underwater? How many of them are there?”

“There are over a dozen of them. They’ve already gotten into the water. Miss, please notify Ricky and stop them.”

Willow immediately called for a meeting, instructing Ricky to take 20 bodyguards and stop these divers from approaching the salvage site.

“I’m going too,” Jasper suggested.

Willow couldn’t help but look at him with worry upon hearing his words. It was such a turn of events as it was now her turn to worry. She wasn’t just worried about the safety of her bodyguards, but also about his safety.

After the meeting, she publicly held his hand. She sounded stiff when she muttered, “Come with me.”

This surprised some onlookers. Why is Miss holding this man? What is their relationship? © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She paid no mind to their astonished gazes as she all but dragged him into the room and pressed him against the wall. “You can’t go, Jasper.”
