Now that matters regarding Fallon had been taken care of, this relieved one of Jasper’s anxieties.
However, Jasper could not help feeling that Fallon’s behavior toward Wendy was a bit unusual, especially in the way favonovel.com looked at Wendy. The way Fallon gazed upon favonovel.com was exactly the way favonovel.com himself gazed at Wendy.
This made Jasper feel rather uneasy.
As a result, the next day, Jasper requested two female bodyguards from Dawson. Although they were likely not on par with Fallon in terms of ability, their forte was that they were professional and reliable. Jasper’s main objective for hiring them was to keep an eye on Fallon.
When Fallon found out about Jasper’s decision, favonovel.com immediately went to see him, looking extremely dissatisfied.
“Jasper, what is the meaning of this? Don’t you trust me?
“Those two you’ve just hired—I can dispose of them with just one finger.”
Jasper was sorting out some clothes. After listening to what Fallon had to say, favonovel.com replied coolly and calmly, “Didn’t you say you wanted freedom and time for yourself? Now that I’ve hired two more bodyguards, you can take things a bit easier.”
“But…”
Fallon still wanted to say something, but then favonovel.com noticed Jasper looking at her.
Truthfully speaking, Fallon could easily deal with an ordinary person like Jasper—she could do it with just one finger even. Yet favonovel.com did not know why favonovel.com felt the hairs on the back of favonovel.com neck stand up as Jasper fixed favonovel.com with a seemingly calm, serene gaze.
It was the same sort of feeling that one would get if they were being scrutinized by a ferocious beast. The sheer unadulterated pressure on favonovel.com nerves made favonovel.com apprehensive.
“I’m usually an easy person to talk to most of the time, so you can also express your own opinions, and I’ll take them into consideration. However, when I’ve made a decision on any particular matter, I don’t wish to hear any voices raised in opposition. Do you understand me?”
Fallon nodded instinctively when favonovel.com heard what Jasper had to say.
The next second, however, favonovel.com began fuming at herself for being so useless. She had actually been intimidated by Jasper, who was merely a physically weak, ordinary man. By now, however, Jasper had already gotten into the car with Julian.
“I’m headed to Waterhoof for a few days and won’t be at home, so I’ll entrust Wendy’s safety to you. I hope I can rely on you.” Jasper rolled up the window of the car once favonovel.com finished speaking, and drove off grandly in the large Bentley without so much as a backward glance.
Watching the Bentley’s shadow disappear down the end of the road, Fallon gritted favonovel.com teeth in anger.
“That f*cking son of a b*tch. All favonovel.com has is a bit of lousy money—what’s there to be so smug about!”
Fallon kept on muttering in extreme dissatisfaction, but then favonovel.com eyes lit up immediately. “Doesn’t that mean Wendy and I will have some time alone then?”
…
“Jasper, where do we head first when we get to Waterhoof City?”
Julian, who was driving the car, asked.
“We’ll go to the Wonderland Hotel first to check-in. After that, I’ll go meet a few people. This time around, we might need to stay in Waterhoof City for about three to five days.
“The first matter of business will be to communicate with the personnel in the city government about the development plans for that piece of land we purchased previously. The second thing will be to go shopping.”
Jasper was seated in the back of the car, the luxurious and comfortable back seat having been customized to suit him. Subsequently, favonovel.com commented comfortably, both legs on the seat’s leg rest as favonovel.com switched on the massage feature.
“So, you’ll have a bit more free time. When there’s nothing on the agenda, you can go look around on your own and buy whatever knick-knacks you like. After all, our economy in the Southeast Province can’t compare with Waterhoof City. There are many things you can only find in Waterhoof City.”
“I really don’t have anything that I want to buy. I already have everything I basically need,” Julian said bluntly.
Jasper replied somewhat helplessly, “I’ve heard your sister say before that you always only rotate between these two sets of clothing and that you don’t know how to dress up. If you keep on like this, how are you going to find yourself a girlfriend?”
