Chapter 368

Willow never wanted to marry Xavier in the past, much less now. She also hated herself for naively assuming that Jasper would marry her after he claimed responsibility for the events five years ago. She even accompanied him to his family home to visit his grandparents, thinking she could provide her children with a complete family. However, his idea of responsibility was monetary compensation in the form of a mansion. Noble young masters like him would never resort to marriage as a form of compensation when money could solve the issue at hand. Now understanding this, Willow only wanted to distance herself from him, ensuring their paths never crossed again. Jasper’s gaze intensified with a sharpness that threatened to pierce through her. “Have you ever met a hunter who releases his prey?” Willow’s heart sank in defeat. Jasper had made it clear that he wouldn’t release her because she was just prey for him to toy with. Willow felt the stark reality of her powerlessness.
