Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 2129

Jasper frowned and peered at Willow. “I can take the tent beside yours.” Hah, so he’s bothered. | knew it. Willow

frowned. “No. I'm scared of the dark. What if there are snakes? Who's going to saveif I'm alone?”

Winston coughed. “Willow, the tents are anti- snake, so the snakes won't be a bother.” “No. We're right out here

in the wilds. What if there are ghosts?” Willow made up another excuse. Fortunately, all the other members had

gone away, so only the bodyguards and a few people remained.

“Take the biggest tent, then. It should be easier to sleep in.” 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, “Take care of her, Mr.

Wyatt.” He's 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 didn’t 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 hadn't fully darkened yet. Everyone

had their dinner and happily chatted. Seven strolled around and took a few photos.

Willow too was captivated by the island’s scenery. Holding Jasper’s arm, she asked, “Care to stroll with me?”

Jasper pulled his hand back, much to Willow's surprise. He doesn’t wantholding his arm?

Then, he held her hand. He wanted to hold hands, and that realization doused Willow’s consternation. She and

Jasper made their way to the beach. There wasn’t 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. “Is that a shooting star?” She let

go of Jasper’s 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. Jasper’s 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. “So, what kind of wish did you make?”

“Can’t say it, or it won't ctrue.” 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.

“Oh, the tide’s rising. Tto go back.” Jasper held her hand and went back to the tents. Everyone had gone to

sleep as they were exhausted. Of course, swere still awake, and they saw Willow and Jasper together. They

didn’t 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 didn’t 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.
