Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 2308

Chapter 2308

Willow and some of the other team members were busy poring over the map of the islands with a

magnifying glass as they tried to replace clues regarding the exact location based on geomancy and

astrological calculations.

She was still busy with her thoughts when the door opened. She didn’t turn around because she

thought it was probably just one of the students who came in. However, Cameron’s voice rang out

behind her. “Willow, the special representative, Mr. Hugh Wyatt, is here.”

Willow finally set the magnifying glass down and turned around to look at the newcomer with a polite

smile. Her expression went from shock to joy in mere seconds and she nearly threw herself at him.

It was the meaningful look from him that made her compose herself. She cleared her throat and walked

over to greet him courteously. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Wyatt. I’m Willow Presgrave, the sponsor of this

archaeological expedition.” Willow held her hand out..

Jasper shook it and said, “I’m Hugh Wyatt, the special representative.” His crisp, deep, and magnetic

voice drew the attention of three young women on the team. Oh, my! What a young and handsome

special representative! Willow smiled. “Can I speak to you in private, Mr. Wyatt?”

“Of course.”

“Please come with me to my room.” Willow walked off. Jasper followed close behind. Willow opened

the door and gestured for him to go in which he readily did. As soon as Willow closed the door, she

threw herself at the man and flung her arms around his neck. “Why did you come here?” she couldn’t

help but ask.

Jasper held her by the waist to save her from exerting herself. He “I’m on my break right now so I came

here to protect you.”

Willow was startled. “You’re on your break right now? You came here just to protect me?” Her heart

warmed as a dazzling grin spread out across her face. “That means you’re trying to Woo me, Mr.

Wyatt!”

Jasper looked at her with smiling eyes and said nothing. “Are you or aren’t you?” Willow wanted a

straight answer. “If you’re not, then I don’t want you to protect me. My dad sent me eight bodyguards

anyway. I have enough people to protect me.”

All of a sudden, Jasper wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her head. “Can you not

expect quite so much from me? Isn’t it good that I came?” Willow buried herself in his arms and

nodded. “Okay.”

Fine! I won’t ask him to say why he came. It’s enough that I know he came because of me. Just then,

Willow’s phone started ringing. She checked the screen and said nervously, “My dad’s calling me.”

“Go ahead and take the call.” “Hi, Dad,” Willow said into the phone. “I hired four chefs for you, Willow.

They’ll follow you around the islands.” “That’s not necessary, Dad!” Willow chuckled awkwardly. “I’m not

here on vacation. I’m working. You don’t need to hire chefs for me.”

“What if you can’t get used to eating the food that’s available there?” Elliot was worried about his

daughter and sorely wished he could head over and act as her bodyguard himself.

Willow looked at the man on the couch before responding with a smile, “Don’t worry, Dad! I’ll take good

care of myself. In any case, many important people are coming along on this trip..

It would be so embarrassing if I brought a bunch of chefs with me too!” She was certain that any meal

she shared with this man would be an enjoyable one. “Okay. As you wish.” Elliot had no choice but to

abide by Willow’s wishes.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll come back safe and sound, and I’ll make sure I don’t lose any weight too! I’ll still

be your happy and healthy little girl when I get back,” Willow assured Elliot.

“Alright. Make sure you keep in touch,” Elliot reminded. “I will, Dad. I’m hanging up now!” Willow ended

the call and walked back to the couch. She was already missing his embrace and wanted to dive back

into his arms.

Willow sat across from Jasper with her beautiful eyes fixed on him as if she feared that he would vanish

in a blink of an eye. If someone else stared at Jasper the way she did, they would have either gotten a

serious beating by now or been totally ignored instead.
