Chapter 2323
Night of Destiny
Novel My babyâs daddy chapter 2323-Jasper frowned and peered at Willow. âI can take the tent beside
yours.â
Hah, so heâs bothered. I knew it. Willow frowned. âNo. Iâm scared of the dark. What if there are snakes?
Whoâs going to save me if Iâm alone?â
Winston coughed. âWillow, the tents are anti-snake, so the snakes wonât be a bother.â
âNo. Weâre right out here in the wilds. What if there are ghosts?â Willow made up another excuse.
Fortunately, all the other members had gone away, so only the bodyguards and a few people remained.
âTake the biggest tent, then. It should be easier to sleep in.â Winston finally realized that Willow would
not stop until she could share a tent with Jasper. There was no way to stop her now.
Jasper heaved a sigh and nodded in silence. Only then did Willow smile.
When Winston walked past Jasper, he whispered, âTake care of her, Mr. Wyatt.â Heâs so lucky.
Speechless, the bodyguards quickly exchanged tents with the other team members who had chosen
tents near Willow so they could be as near to Willow as possible. It was as if they didnât trust Jasper.
Either way, their only job for this trip was to make sure Willow was safe.
The days were long on this island. Even though it was already eight, the sky hadnât fully darkened yet.
Everyone had their dinner and happily chatted. Some even strolled around and took a few photos.
Willow too wos coptivoted by the islondâs scenery. Holding Josperâs orm, she osked, âCore to stroll with
me?â
Josper pulled his hond bock, much to Willowâs surprise. He doesnât wont me holding his orm?
Then, he held her hond. He wonted to hold honds, ond thot reolizotion doused Willowâs consternotion.
She ond Josper mode their woy to the beoch. There wosnât onyone there, so silence wos their
compony. Stors shone in the sky, the moon smiling gently ot the sonds. The seo wos peoceful os well.
All seemed right.
Willow wos ot peoce too. Nothing needed to be soid. An exchonge of silent looks wos enough to tell
them whot they were feeling. Then, Willow noticed o shooting stor hurtling through the sky. âIs thot o
shooting stor?â She let go of Josperâs hond.
Surprised, Josper looked bock ond sow Willow holding her honds together in proyer os she mode her
wish. Her chin wos resting on the tip of her fingers, ond silvery moonlight shone on her foce. Her hoir
tumbled down to her woist. She looked like o devout believer proying to the goddess of the moon.
Josperâs heort wos coptivoted.
Willow too was captivated by the islandâs scenery. Holding Jasperâs arm, she asked, âCare to stroll with
me?â
Jasper pulled his hand back, much to Willowâs surprise. He doesnât want me holding his arm?
Then, he held her hand. He wanted to hold hands, and that realization doused Willowâs consternation.
She and Jasper made their way to the beach. There wasnât anyone there, so silence was their
company. Stars shone in the sky, the moon smiling gently at the sands. The sea was peaceful as well.
All seemed right.
Willow was at peace too. Nothing needed to be said. An exchange of silent looks was enough to tell
them what they were feeling. Then, Willow noticed a shooting star hurtling through the sky. âIs that a
shooting star?â She let go of Jasperâs hand.
Surprised, Jasper looked back and saw Willow holding her hands together in prayer as she made her
wish. Her chin was resting on the tip of her fingers, and silvery moonlight shone on her face. Her hair
tumbled down to her waist. She looked like a devout believer praying to the goddess of the moon.
Jasperâs heart was captivated.
Willow quickly made a silent wish and opened her eyes. She looked at the disappearing shooting star
and turned to Jasper, then she laughed.
Jasper narrowed his eyes. âSo, what kind of wish did you make?â
âCanât say it, or it wonât come true.â Willow arched her eyebrow. She could tell anyone else about the
wish, but not Jasper. The wish she made was about him, after all. She wished for a life of peace,
health, and serenity for him. He was in a dangerous line of work, so that was the wish she made the
moment she closed her eyes.
âOh, the tideâs rising. Time to go back.â Jasper held her hand and went back to the tents.
Everyone had gone to sleep as they were exhausted. Of course, some were still awake, and they saw
Willow and Jasper together. They didnât say anything. Those two looked like a perfect couple, after all.
Willow was gorgeous, but the lads on the team would never dare to court her. They didnât want to cross
the Presgraves, after all. There was no way the Presgraves would marry their princess off to a
commoner, and with Jasper around, there was no way the lads could gain her attention. He had the
looks, physique, and charisma to woo any woman he wanted. Besides, the lads admired Jasper too.
