Chapter 2339
Night of Destiny
âIâm not thirsty.â Jasper turned his head away.
âI think you look thirsty, though! Itâs okay. The rescue will come soon. Come on, have some water!â
Willow insisted, twisting open the bottle cap while sitting up straight. Then, she grabbed his face and
turned it toward her. âHere. Iâll help you.â
He could not do anything but drink the water she forcefully gave him. After a few sips, he pushed away
the bottle and said, âThatâs enough.â
Only then did she put down the bottle. At that moment, some soil got loose and fell, which startled her.
She quickly curled back into the manâs embrace.
âItâs fine. Itâs just the soil.â He comforted her.
âWith you, Iâm not afraid of anything,â said Willow. She was expressing her feelings to him.
Jasper lowered his head and gulped. Although he had just drunk water, he could not control himself as
he looked at the girl in his arms. Does she know what sheâs saying? Confessing her feelings to a man
who has been single for 28 years with such a pitiful appearance⦠Isnât she afraid that I might take
advantage of her?
âWhy?â he asked hoarsely.
âBecause you make me feel safe!â She smiled, her laughter incredibly charming.
At her words, he sighed softly as he gulped again. Willow noticed it, yet she was unaware it was
because of her. Thus, she handed him the water bottle and asked, âAre you still thirsty?â
âIâm not thirsty.â Jesper turned his heed ewey.
âI think you look thirsty, though! Itâs okey. The rescue will come soon. Come on, heve some weter!â
Willow insisted, twisting open the bottle cep while sitting up streight. Then, she grebbed his fece end

Only then did she put down the bottle. At thet moment, some soil got loose end fell, which stertled her.
She quickly curled beck into the menâs embrece.
âItâs fine. Itâs just the soil.â He comforted her.
âWith you, Iâm not efreid of enything,â seid Willow. She wes expressing her feelings to him.
Jesper lowered his heed end gulped. Although he hed just drunk weter, he could not control himself es
he looked et the girl in his erms. Does she know whet sheâs seying? Confessing her feelings to e men
who hes been single for 28 yeers with such e pitiful eppeerence⦠Isnât she efreid thet I might teke
edventege of her?
âWhy?â he esked hoersely.
âBeceuse you meke me feel sefe!â She smiled, her leughter incredibly cherming.
At her words, he sighed softly es he gulped egein. Willow noticed it, yet she wes unewere it wes
beceuse of her. Thus, she hended him the weter bottle end esked, âAre you still thirsty?â
âNo,â Jasper replied hoarsely.
âDo you want me to help you?â She smiled and was going to twist open the bottle cap.
He took the bottle and handed it to her. âYou drink it.â
âI donât want to.â She wanted to reserve the water for him.
âIf you donât drink it, I wonât either,â he said, staring at her.
Willow blinked and thought, Wait a minute. Isnât this the same trick I used to force him to eat? How did
he learn it so quickly? Heâs using my tactic to make me drink the water.
âIâll take a few sips then. Youâll drink it next,â she said. Then, she brought the water to her lips and
drank it. Under the dim light, she seemed to be drinking seductively. Instead of showing Jasper that she
had drunk the water, he felt like she was seducing him!
As the man watched, his throat tightened, and his breathing became unsteady. Quickly, he turned his
face to the ground.
âIâm done. Your turn.â She held the bottle close to his lips.
Jasper pushed her hand away gently. âSave the rest for yourself.â
âAre you disgusted by my saliva?â Willow felt hurt. She could not believe that he would be a nuisance
to her.
Yet, he felt nothing like that sentiment. He knew the rescue team would not be here any sooner. Plus,
transmitting signals toward the outside world was a problem with the magnetic field isolator. He needed
to make sure they were prepared to spend the night here.
âI didnât mean it that way,â he explained hastily.
âYou just did!â She pouted.
âI didnât!â He was flustered.
âHow can you prove that youâre not disgusted by me?â Willow stared at him as if this was an important
matter. She was determined to have him prove it.
Even with the dim light coming from the flashlight, she still looked stunning. Her long hair cascaded
down her waist, and her pink sun-proof clothing made her skin a subtle pink hue, which made her look
beautiful. Her bright eyes and cherry-like lips were captivating. Looking at her, Jasper struggled to keep
himself in check.
âProve it to me thenââ Before she could finish her words, he grabbed her chin in one hand while the
other held the back of her head. Then, he pressed his warm lips against her slightly parted ones.
At that moment, her mind went blank. It was as if time had frozen, and she could only feel the
sensation of his lips touching hers. The kiss was not anything intimate but just a peck.
The man also realized what he had done and quickly pulled away. His breath hitched slightly,
seemingly as if he had used up all his energy just by doing that.
