Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

Chapter 2345

Chapter 2345 Defeating the Pirates

“W-What do you want? I-I can give you a-anything. Just don’t kill me,” the captain spoke somewhat inarticulately. Assuming Jasper

could not understand, he repeated his sentence. Jasper’s lips curled faintly while revealing a murderous intent, and with a gunshot,

the last member of the pirate ship fell to the ground. Then, his gaze turned toward the island. The fierce killing intent in his eyes

suddenly dissipated and was replaced by a hint of anxiety and panic because he had been delayed here for too long, and a certain

someone might be worried about him. He had to return to her side as soon as possible. Thus, he jumped onto a small speedboat

nearby, started it, and headed toward the island. On the island, Willow could not relax or focus on anything without news about

Jasper. She had been pacing back and forth for quite a while, and Ricky had ordered his men to search the surroundings to comfort

her. However, his gaze kept scanning the dark sea in hopes that Jasper would return soon. Their miss was getting anxious because

of him. “Miss Presgrave, have swater.” Johanna handed her a bottle of water. Willow shook her head. “I'm not thirsty.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Presgrave. We all know how capable Mr. Wyatt is. Whatever he does, he will cback safely.” Johanna tried to

reassure her. Willow's palms were clenched so tightly that they turned pallid. She looked at Johanna and asked for reassurance.

“Will he be okay?” Her eyes reddened as if she was on the verge of tears. “Yes, he'll be fine.” Johanna hurriedly assured her. It was

the first tshe had seen Willow on the verge of crying, and she felt distressed. She had protected Willow for nearly ten years

and shared a deep bond with her. Willow sighed. “Only if he stands safely beforewill | rest assured.” At that moment, Ricky

heard the sound of a yacht approaching from the sea and immediately took the binoculars to search the ocean. Finally, he locked

onto a figure that made him breathe a sigh of relief. He strode quickly to Willow and reported, “Miss Presgrave, Mr. Wyatt is back.”

“Where? Where is he?” She looked behind him, and Ricky handed her the binoculars while pointing toward the sea. “Over there.”

Willow was taken aback and quickly took the binoculars to look at the sea. Under the moonlight, she saw a yacht approaching, and

the man sitting on it could only be Jasper. A smile of joy finally appeared in her eyes as she looked at the approaching figure and

questioned, “Why is he returning from the ocean? Where did he go?” Ricky dared not voice it. If he told Willow that Jasper had gone

to the pirate ship alone, she would certainly be furious. I'll leave that to Mr. Wyatt! Of course, she was not in a hurry to hear the

answer. She put the binoculars back into Ricky's hands and ran toward the beach, with Johanna quickly following behind.

Jasper also saw her standing there. His speedboat rushed ashore, and he was drenched all over after stepping off it. Water droplets

from his wet black hair ran down his narrow eyebrows and eyes. Despite looking somewhat bedraggled, he exuded an untamed

wildness and dominance. Willow wanted to hug him, but he pushed her away with his wet arms. “I'm drenched. Don’t get your

clothes wet.”

She was shoved away just like that, so she could not help but question him, “Where did you go? Why did you disappear without a

word? Do you know how worried | was?” That interrogation made the others around them leave tactfully. It was best to stay away

from the scene where this couple quarreled. “I... Uhm...” He found it difficult to explain and looked somewhat helpless, like a child

who had done something wrong. “Why did you cback from the sea? Did you fall?” She made a guess. “Yes. | was chasing a

pirate and accidentally fell into the sea,” he immediately replied while going along with her guess. He wondered if telling her his

hands had just been stained with more than a dozen lives would terrify her.
