My Four Miraculous Treasures

"Cough, cough cough..." Willow choked on the water.

The waitress was clearly looking at him, so how could he interpret that as envy?

On second thought, it made sense. Jasper was charming and handsome, but he had Willow as a companion.

People would assume they were dating since they were having coffee together.

People date with the intent to marry.

However, this would never end in marriage for her.

Would anyone still envy her if they found out that she was being kept?

They would only laugh at her.

Willow held onto her cup. She kept quiet and pretended to drink water to conceal her embarrassment.

Their coffee was soon served.

By the time they finished their coffee, it was already two in the morning.

Jasper sent Willow back to her apartment building.

To prevent Jasper from seeing her to her door, she said, "Mr. Hughes, it's late and

I'm really tired so I'll be going now. You should hurry back too."

Then, she covered her mouth to yawn.

She was truly exhausted.

"Yeah, you should hurry upstairs," Jasper said. This time, he didn't insist on seeing her to the door.

Feeling lucky, Willow turned and hurried upstairs.

Jasper waited downstairs until he saw the lights of Willow's unit turn on. Then, he got into his car and drove off.

To hold hands, drink coffee, and have idle chit-chat. So this was what dating was like.

It sounded boring but also interesting...

Jasper's lips curled into a smile.

The next day, Willow was sleeping in after staying up till late last night

She suddenly felt suffocated as if a

rock was crushing her chesto

Willow reached out to push it away but ended up touching something warm andnoveldrama

soft. She pinched it slightly to feel its tenderness.

Willow opened her eyes and lifted

her head to see a cute and chubby little face. A pair of bright doe eyes were staring right at her.

It was Hailey. She was lying on top of Willow, seeming to be in deep thought as she watched her mother curiously.

The girl chuckled like a little bird upon seeing Willow wake up. "Mommy's awake!"

Willow greeted, "Hales, dear, good morning."

"Mommy, were you dreaming of something delicious?" Hailey tilted her head. Her large eyes were staring curiously at Willow.

Willow pondered."I think so... but I don't remember."

"Mommy, you were puckering and licking your lips, so you must have dreamt about something delicious What was it? Tell me." Hailey looked interested. She slid down from Willow and grabbed her sleeve, shaking her gently.

५

Hailey loved food. She wanted to know even if it was just something that happened in Willow's dream.

Hearing about the fragrance of the food could curb her craving even if she couldn't taste it.

Willow was still groggy with sleep. Then, she heard Hailey mention that she was licking her lips in her sleep.

She had forgotten about her dream, but this hint made her remember.

She dreamt that Jasper was kissing her and even bit her lip. It hurt so much that she licked her lips in response.

Willow's face flushed at the thought of this.

She wasn't dreaming about food. She was dreaming about Jasper!

She said to Hailey, "I wasn't dreaming about food. I did it subconsciously while I was sleeping."

"Oh..." Hailey was disappointed. She wanted to eat nice food.

Willow was about to get out of bed when her phone rang. She answered it.

"Willow, don't be late for work at Hughes Corporation," Tyson urged on the other end of the call.
