Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2270

Presuming Jasper was upset with her, Willow apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were-” “I don’t blame you.” After saying this, he looked up at her, and when their gazes met, her face began to heat up..

“But I saw absolutely nothing!” she clarified, puffing her cheeks. However, her tone unintentionally conveyed disappointment, and he assumed that was what she meant. Therefore, he couldn’t help but smirk and hum lightly, “What were you expecting to see?”

After hearing this, Willow finally realized that her sentence sounded misleading, so she waved her hands dismissively. “No, I wasn’t expecting anything. There is nothing interesting to see anyway-”

There’s nothing interesting to see. That sentence itself caused Jasper’s expression to become stone-cold. Has this woman seen others? Why else would she sound so disinterested? A wealthy young lady like her must have plenty of pursuers, which means she might have been in multiple relationships before. His thoughts briefly strayed, and the bread he was toasting nearly burned. Then, he immediately returned to attention, flipped the bread, and looked up at her. “If you’re bored, go out for a walk! Come back for breakfast later.”

In the meantime, Willow felt that the atmosphere between them had become somewhat awkward, so she went outside to observe the wildflowers growing on the ground. She bent down and picked a few, creating a lovely bouquet as a present for herself.

From inside the tent, Jasper could see her figure as she held a bouquet and admired it with a contented expression, resembling a child who hadn’t graduated from kindergarten. His gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before he snapped out of it, only to find that the bread had become slightly burnt, prompting him to sigh and toast another two fresh slices. When she returned, the plate already had toasted bread slices on it. Then, she sat down, grabbed one, and topped it with a sunny-side-up egg. lettuce, tomato slices, and a pat of butter for a quick and nutritious breakfast.

On the other hand, the man served another two perfectly toasted slices in front of her while he helped himself to the burnt ones. Then, he said, “I’ve managed to contact your father’s men.”

After hearing this, Willow smiled and replied, “I’m not eager to return home because I’m enjoying my time in the mountains!” However, Jasper glanced at her and said, “I have other tasks to attend to.”
