My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 174

Jasper was not blind to Willow’s predicament. By now, a blush had spread all the way across her cheeks, even to her ears.

Terrified that Jasper’s grandmother would go on nagging her about marriage and childbirth, Willow was swaying alarmingly in her seat.

Now that he’d finally found his savior from that night five years ago, he couldn’t very well allow her to be scared off the first time he brought her home.

He came riding to her rescue, “Grandma, we’re both still young, and neither of us is in any hurry to become a parent yet. We want some time to enjoy being in love, just the two of us.”

“Fool boy… we’re right here to help you look after your children, aren’t we?” Cindy countered viciously. “It’s not like you won’t have your freedom!”

“Grandma, children naturally yearn for their own parents,” said Jasper, carrying his side of the debate quite ably. “How in the world are you going to keep them from pestering us, every chance they get?”

Pester…?

Willow’s heart shattered at this word. All of a sudden, she was deeply ill at ease. She was in profound agony. Worst of all, she could no longer enjoy the seafood she was having.

So Jasper disliked children that much, huh?

Imagine if he found out that she already had four kids… he wouldn’t like it one bit!

Meanwhile, those four little angels had always longed to meet their own father—to be loved by him.

Willow became choked with sorrow, imagining what it might be like for her children to discover that their real father didn’t want them… that he considered them ‘pests.’

They’d be utterly heartbroken!

In that case, she’d rather never let them know about Jasper Hughes, to spare them from such disappointment and devastation.

“Smart alec,” Cindy grumbled in response. She fixed Jasper with a disapproving frown, sighed, and turned to Willow instead. “And how do you feel about this matter, dear?”

Willow grimaced faintly, and finally answered, “I’ll follow Jasper’s lead on this.”
