Why Did You Agree
Before Gaspar could say anything, a deep frown had already crossed Micah’s brow. “Anna, what
nonsense are you talking about?”
How can she tag along with Gaspar? Does she even know what he plans on doing? It’s not that I’m
being unreasonable, but after ten years, I can confidently say I know Gaspar like the back of my hand.
He may look all friendly and jolly, but deep down, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
Anyone who crosses him won’t live to see another day. More importantly, he hates having women
follow him around. The only exceptions he makes are for his female subordinates, so I’m sure Gaspar
won’t agree to Anna’s request!
“I’m not spouting nonsense, Daddy,” Anna retorted as she turned to Gaspar. “Are you okay with me
following you?”
If he says no, there’s nothing else I can do, is there? I’ve already fished for as much information as I
can from Daddy and learned quite a bit about Gaspar.
Gosh, have I fallen for him because he’s my first man? One thing’s for sure—if we went our separate
ways now, it’d be the end of our relationship. That’s all the more reason I want to be with him. I want to
win him over!
As soon as they heard Anna’s question, Micah and Abigail promptly turned to Gaspar.
“Sure. You’re free to come along if you like,” the latter answered smilingly. Oh, what good timing! I had
already planned on taking her away from this island, but she has saved me the trouble of asking Micah
for permission!
Micah, however, couldn’t hide the shock on his face as he stared at Gaspar. He had been so sure that
the young man would turn Anna down, so when the rejection didn’t happen, warning bells instantly
went off in his head.
Why did Gaspar agree to take Anna along so readily? What are his intentions?
“G-Gaspar, how are you okay with that?” Micah queried.
Gaspar knew Micah’s mind must be swirling with questions, but if Anna didn’t want to say anything
more, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to step in now. In the end, he looked at Micah and laughed.
“Oh, I don’t mind. She can do whatever she likes. Besides, given our friendship, you can rest assured
that I’ll keep her safe.”
Upon hearing that, Micah nodded. Hmm, that’s true. After all, I’ve known Gaspar for ten years. With
him around, I’m confident she’ll be in safe hands.
“Since you want to follow Gaspar, remember not to cause any trouble for him,” Micah warned as he
gazed at his daughter. “If you do, I’ll send someone to haul you back immediately.”
Having gotten her father’s approval, Anna smiled even brighter. However, she quickly collected herself
before turning to Micah. “Don’t worry. I won’t give you any reason to bring me back here.”
How could I? I’ve already decided to follow Gaspar for the rest of my life. Our fates seem to be
intertwined, and I’m sure we’ll be able to live happily together.
Abigail, on the other hand, was silently observing the young lady. Something told her that Anna was
looking at Gaspar with love in her eyes, but she knew she could also be wrong. After all, the two of
them had only been together for a few days and barely interacted with each other. How, then, could
they have developed romantic feelings in such a short period?
Even though Abigail chose to keep the questions to herself, she had to admit she was against letting
Anna leave with Gaspar. In fact, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like things were going
out of her control.
I want to keep Anna on the island, but what else can I say when even Micah has given his approval? I
guess the only thing I can do now is to find out what’s going on between Anna and Gaspar.
