Chapter 2289
Night of Destiny
As soon as Troy walked into the cafe, he noticed the attractive figure sitting by the window. He had not
seen her in years, but she still had a princess-like aura surrounding her.
Jasper caught sight of the person who had just walked in. He did not mind at first, but when he saw
Troy walking over to Willow and greeting her, he instantly stopped halfway through typing. âLong time
no see, Miss Presgrave.â
Willow looked up at Troy, then stood up politely. âHave we met before?â âYes. You were five, and I was
eight. We were at a banquet abroad.â He examined her, then said in amazement, âYou havenât changed
much.â
âHow can that be? Iâve grown from a child into an adult, at least!â she said, laughing. âThatâs true. Youâre
a lovely and pretty woman now.â He smiled as he expressed his agreement.
âIf youâre not in a hurry to get to the hotel, letâs sit down and talk,â Willow told him. She had a friendly
tone as if they had been friends forever. Troy was a casual guy as well. He said, with great pleasure,
âOf course, Iâm not in a hurry. Itâs my honor to chat with you, Miss Presgrave.â
She picked up the cup of coffee and subconsciously glanced in a direction, curving her lips. She
wanted a certain man to see that she was not without admirers. As she spoke, she accidentally spilled
the coffee. The liquid splashed onto the table, and some even dripped onto the floor.
âAre you okay, Miss Presgrave?â Troy hastily got up and asked in concern. Willow got up as well,
smiling and suggesting. âItâs okay. Letâs change seats. With that, she reached out and pulled Troy
along, switching their seats so that she would sit beside Jasper while still facing Troy. Out of the corner
of her eye, she glanced at a man who was hard at work.
âTroy, thanks for attending my nephewâs baby shower.â When she referred to him by his first name,
Troy was so elated that his eyes shone. He could not help but chuckle. âCan I call you Willy?â
âYup, of course! Everyone calls me Willy.â When she finished speaking, she supported her chin, smiling
as she gazed at Troy with her huge beautiful eyes. Troy felt something plucking his heartstrings. He
thought of something, then retrieved a cute crystal rabbit from his pocket. âFor you.â
She reached out and took it, expressing in pleasant surprise, âItâs so pretty!â âI saw it on my way here
and liked it, so I bought it. Itâs perfect as a gift for you.â
âI can hang it on my bag.â With that, she attached the rabbit to her purse. It served as an ornament. âItâs
just a little toy. Iâll give you something even better when I get to the city,â Troy said, smiling.
Willow curved her lips into a smile. âIâm the host, so I should be the one welcoming you. If there are any
gifts involved, they should come from me.â âLend me your car, then! My private jet couldnât send me
here, so they couldnât ship my car either.â
âSure! I have six sports cars, so take your pick.â She smiled generously. âMy brother has some, too. If
you fancy any of those, you can tell me.â âI heard that your brother has a personally. customized car
thatâs the only one of its kind. Iâm curious to see it.â âSure! I can ask him to take you out on a road trip in
that car,â she said.
âIâll look forward to it, then, Troy said, elated. Jasper heard everything they said and was so absorbed
in it that he ignored Aimeeâs voice for a few seconds. âJasper, are you listening? Did you screenshot
their license plate?â She could not help but ask again, for she received no response the first time..
âI did.â
âGood. Come down, then! Iâll wait for you in the car.â Jasper closed his laptop and stuffed it into his
laptop case. When he was lifting it, he glanced at Troy, whose gaze remained on Willowâs face as if it
was glued to her.
He got up and walked over to them, but Willow rose on purpose and extended her arm to block his
path. âExcuse me,â the man spoke in a low voice.
