Chapter 2272
Night of Destiny
Willow got into the passenger seat and Jasper immediately started the car, driving out of the forest.
Those people just now were locals. If they didnât leave here quickly, they would likely be surrounded by
those people.
Sure enough, the four thugs returned to the village and immediately gathered a group of people for
revenge. However, when they arrived, the car had already left. Even so, they still gathered more people
and started to chase after them.
Fortunately, Jasper acted quickly, and those people couldnât catch up with them in the end. As Jasperâs
car drove on a road twenty kilometers away, his phone rang. He glanced at it and swiped the phone to
answer, âHello!â
âWhere is my daughter?â a stern male voice came from the other end. âMr. Presgrave, please wait a
moment,â Jasper said and handed the phone to Willow, who was in the passenger seat. âItâs your dad.â
Willow smiled and took the phone. âHello, Dad.â âAre you okay? Did you get scared? I will come and
pick you up right away.â Elliotâs worried voice came through. âDad, Iâm fine. Iâm doing well!â
âGood. In another half an hour, youâll see me.â Elliot then continued, âPass the phone back to him.â
Willow handed the phone back to Jasper. By then, Jasper had already parked the car on the side of the
road as he answered, âHello, Mr. Presgrave.â
âMr. Wyatt, my subordinate will send you the address. Please bring my daughter here now.â
âOkay,â Jasper responded.
âThank you!â
âYouâre welcome.â After hanging up the phone, Jasper turned to the girl next to him before breathing a
sigh of relief. As long as she returned to her family, she would be safe, they wouldnât have to flee for
their lives anymore.
For a while, the atmosphere inside the car became somewhat heavy. An unexpected separation
moment had begun. Willow thought that it would take several days for her father to come and pick her
up. She didnât expect that her time with Jasper would be limited to just this journey until she reached
her father.
With their respective identities, it would be almost impossible for them to meet again in the future. It
was like they would never have a chance to meet again in this lifetime. Willow bit her lip and asked,
âJasper, can you give me a way to contact you? Maybe in the future, weâ¦â
âI canât,â the man coldly and decisively refused. Willowâs pretty face blushed. As a member of the
Presgrave Family, she never needed to ask others for their contact information. Today was the first time
she had spoken up, and she didnât expect to be rejected so bluntly. It really struck her self-esteem
hard..
âSo, youâre saying that once you bring me to my dad, weâll never see each other again?â Willow boldly
confronted the issue. She thought that after spending a few days with this man, he would at least want
to be friends with her, right?
âThatâs right, the man replied. As the sound of a text message came through on his phone, he reached
for the phone and took a glance at the address. Then, he searched for it on the carâs navigation
system, quickly pinpointing a specific location.
Willowâs breath involuntarily hitched. Although. it seemed like she was lowering her self-value by doing
this, she really hoped to keep in touch. with him. She didnât want to go through her whole life without
seeing him again. This desire was somewhat intense-so intense that no one else had ever provoked
such thoughts in her.
After all, in these past few days, he had risked his life to protect her while heavily injured. Furthermore,
he had even been considerate enough to swat away mosquitoes for her while she was sleeping.
Besides her father and brother, he was the first person to do such things.
âThen, at least give me an address where I can find you in the future.â Willow compromised. In any
case, as long as they didnât lose contact, it would be fine. At least, she would know that he was safe
after each mission.
Jasper smoothly started the car and elegantly turned the steering wheel while speaking in a casual
tone, âMiss Presgrave, donât like me and donât fall in love with me. It wonât lead to anything.â
