Chapter 2310
Night of Destiny
It was Jasper Wyatt from Interpolâs special operations unit. Why is he joining Willowâs team? Is he there
on an assignment? Is her team in some kind of danger? Elliot knew that the special ops would only go
on missions to places where serious events could happen.
If Elliot wanted answers, he would need to ask. Willow, so he called her immediately after hanging up
on the female bodyguard. Willow had just finished putting her things away when she heard her phone
ringing. After seeing who it was, she hurried out onto the balcony before she answered, âHi, Dad!â,
âWillow, why is Jasper Wyatt with you?â Elliot came right out and asked. Willow wasnât surprised. There
were eight pairs of eyes on her at all times. Every single thing she did would undoubtedly get back to
her father within a momentâs notice.
âHeâs on a break right now, Dad, so I invited him over to protect me. Donât worry. Iâll be even safer with
him around, right?â Willow said cheerfully.
âThat doesnât mean he needs to share a room with you!â Elliot huffed. âIâm sure youâve looked into him
before, Dad, so you know what heâs like! Heâs a decent man,â Willow declared reassuringly.
âItâs improper.â âWell, I donât care about it, Dad, so why are you so hot and bothered by it? Iâll never be
able to get married if you keep acting like this!â Willowâs temper flared up too.
Elliot was speechless. Alas, it couldnât be helped. He was the one who spoiled and pampered her all
this while. He was defenseless against her temper. âDo you trust him so much?â Elliot asked.
âI trust him, Dad, so can you please trust him too?â Willow pleaded. She was afraid her father would put
pressure on Jasper somehow. âFine. Look out for yourself. Call me if anything happens.â
âGot it, Dad! Bye!â Willow said sweetly. She had no clue that as soon as their call ended, Elliot
immediately made a call to Richard.
âHey, Elliot.â âRichard, what do you know about a guy named Jasper Wyatt? Whatâs his character like?
Can he be trusted? Does he have any history of bad behavior? Also, look into his background. I want
as many details as possible.â
âWhatâs the matter?â Richard asked with a chuckle.
âWillow invited him along on her archaeological expedition.â
âRelax! I trust Jasper.â
âBut Willyâs sharing a room with him! How am I supposed to relax?â Elliot cried out in frustration.
Richard was a little taken aback. After a few seconds, he said, âDo you still remember the Wyatts, the
family that got wiped out overnight? Jasperâs the only child from that family who survived. He has a
stellar record with his unit and excels in every way possible. With him keeping Willow safe, youâve got
nothing to worry about.â
âButâ¦â
âIf this is what Willow wants, Elliot, shouldnât you respect her decision? Do you still think sheâs a little
girl whoâll stay by your side forever and never grow up? Be a little more discerning and have an open
mind.â
âAre you saying that this Jasper fellow could be my future son-in-law?â Elliotâs brows furrowed. âWhere
else would you find such a capable candidate? Willow has a good eye,â Richard complimented.
Elliot was still anxious, but he trusted his friendâs opinion, so he had no choice but to calm himself down
and let his daughter make her own decisions.
After all, she was all grown up now. After the call, Willow secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Thank
goodness Dad didnât demand that Jasper and I stay in different rooms.
She went back into the room and saw Jasper sitting on the couch. He seemed a little bored, so she
took out her notes and handed them to him. âAs the special representative, youâll need. to have a basic
understanding of this expedition, or else, you might easily blow your cover. Here are my notes. You can
kill time by looking through them.â
Jasper took her notes and began to flip through them in all seriousness. Willow sat down and watched
him, but eventually, the swaying. motion of the ship and her exhaustion both led. to her eyes drifting
shut as she dozed off.
