Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

Chapter 2330 Jealousy Unveiled

“Tommy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?” Willow's irritation was palpable, for her team members had been

roused from their slumber, the tranquility shattered by the man’s unexpected presence.

At her words, Tommy immediately looked somewhat aggrieved. “I cbecause | was worried about you. Look, | brought a

boatload of supplies for you. I've got whatever you need. | even brought a chef and bodyguards to protect you.”

She gazed at him in stunned silence, her words caught in her throat. “I don’t need them, thank you. Now please leave and don’t

interfere with my work.”

“l call this way. How can you just askto leave so easily? | promise not to affect your work. Just treatas an invisible

person or even air.” Then, he walked past Jasper and looked at Willow pleadingly. “Willow, please don’t chaseaway. You have

no idea how hard it was forto catch up to you.”

As she pondered the situation, she realized that chasing him away would only be futile and a wasted effort. Ultimately, she

reluctantly allowed him to stay because he brought the essential supplies they desperately needed. “Alright, since you're here, you

can stay,” she conceded. What's more, he arrived with a contingent of formidable bodyguards. Should we encounter any pirate

ships, their presence alone would be enough to strike fear into those pirates.

At this moment, Jasper looked at Willow with an indescribable gaze while Tommy was overjoyed. “I knew you wouldn't chase me

away.”

She then turned to Winston and said, “Gather everyone and ask them to return to rest. There's no need to panic.”

“Alright. | was worried about sending someone for supplies, but now that your friend has brought them, we can rest assured.” After

saying this, he gathered everyone and asked them to return to sleep while leaving a few on guard around the perimeter.

“Willow, where will you sleep?” As Tommy laid eyes upon the inviting tents, a surge of hope washed over him, envisioning a warm

welcand a space reserved just for him.

“It’s too late tonight, Tommy. You and your people can sleep on the boat,” she said.

“It's okay. I'm not tired. I'll stay here and keep watch for you.” His heart fluttered with such intense excitement that sleep eluded

him. The anticipation of the impending journey, where he could finally be by her side day and night, consumed his every thought.

It will surely be romantic, and we can leave many beautiful memories.

With a few strides, Willow distanced herself from the crowd, and like a shadow, Jasper trailed behind. Unexpectedly, he gently

clasped her wrist, wordlessly guiding her to a serene boulder at the edge.

Dazed for a moment, she eventually acquiesced and trailed behind him. In hushed tones, he urged her, “Chase him away. We don’t

need any extra people here.”

“He’s my friend, and it’s too late tonight. I'll persuade him to leave in the morning,” she replied, her eyes lifting to meet him.

After hearing Willow's reply, Jasper sighed inexplicably as he uttered, “Okay. They must leave tomorrow morning.”

In a moment of revelation, her eyes sparkled with intrigue, and she leaned in closer, whispering, “Are you jealous?”

In an instant, a faint blush danced across his handsfeatures, revealing a fleeting moment of embarrassment. He quickly

averted his gaze, mustering a soft-spoken reply, “No.”

Her eyes widened with surprise as she blinked, and then she couldn't resist asking again, “Really?”

This time, a deafening silence followed, broken only by the sudden appearance of Tommy. Curious, he turned to Willow and asked,

“What are you two talking about?”

With a serene smile, she uttered, “Nothing.” Then, curiosity sparkled in her eyes as she inquired, “How did you manage to locate

me?”

“Through my network of information, of course. Anyway, that’s not important. The important thing is that | finally found you,”

Tommy said with a contented grin, glancing at Jasper with a hint of disapproval. “Who is he?”

“He's the chief consultant of our archaeological team,” she introduced.

As Tommy gazed at Jasper, an instinctual sense of rivalry surged within him, a primal force that seemed inherently masculine. He

couldn’t help but perceive Jasper as a formidable threat, exerting an invisible yet palpable pressure upon him.

Actually, Tommy was also good-looking, and he cfrom a wealthy family with assets worth billions. Yet, amidst this glamor, his

heart's desire for Willow remained an open secret within their social circle. From the instant his gaze met hers, a bold declaration

of affection escaped his lips, heedless of the occasion or onlookers.

She couldn't shake him off since they had been classmates from high school to college. Eventually, she accepted his unwavering

pursuit, opting for peaceful coexistence and embracing him as a steadfast friend.

“Willow, let’'s—" Tommy was about to approach Willow, eager to share the captivating tales of his journey in catching up with her.
