Chapter 8

Willow rushed to her kids, but they got to the elevator first.

"Wait for me!" she called out urgently as the elevator doors were closing.

She charged into the elevator and nervously kept tapping the button to shut the doors. She didn't have time to pick a floor to go to then.

Jasper had been approaching nearer to her, and she was worried he would think about settling scores with her then.

The doors slowly closed, and Jasper's cold glare could be seen through the cracks when he walked over.

Willow's heart skipped a beat when she locked eyes with him; she couldn't even breathe then.

The doors were completely shut soon after, severing the contact between the two.

Willow's tensed-up shoulders drooped down in an instant.

When she turned around, two pairs of black, tender-looking eyes were curiously gazing at her.

"Why are you here, Mommy?" Julian asked cutely as he blinked.

His lashes were really long, and he also had quite fair skin, which made others often mistake him as a girl.

He'd probably look even better than an actual girl too.

Willow suddenly thought Julian's eyes looked quite similar to the man in the restroom...

"I came here for an interview. I'll be working here starting tomorrow. Why are you two here anyway? Where's Grandma?"

'Also, why are they alone? What would happen if they had gotten lost...?'

Willow showed a stern expression despite her worries. She'd let the children run wild no matter how playful they were, but she had to be strict regarding their safety. Julian lowered his head guiltily. He didn't know how to explain the situation. Since he was a small boy, he knew not to lie to his mother.

"We're here to look for Mr. Jasper, Mommy. We wanted to apologize to him since you offended him last night."

Willow shifted her gaze to look at Tristan. His little face appeared stern, his youthful eyes had an unwavering glint, and his thick brows were furrowed tightly.

Willow slowly realized... that his expression and features were really similar to the man she had met in the men's restroom just now!
