Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2288

Since he had a tall figure and was slightly leaning in, there was half a finger’s length between Willow’s red lips and his when he pulled her into his embrace. They almost pressed against each other..

She exhaled lightly, and the man’s breaths seemed to grow heavier as well. The two did not remove themselves right away. Instead, they maintained a sliver of distance in between. For Willow, she did not want to push him away, but she was scared to get close too. She feared that everything was just her imagination and that she was the clown here.

She looked up to see the man’s thick eyelashes forming a fan-like shade over his eyes. It was rare to see such thick eyelashes around these parts. The man released her first, and she quickly stepped back. In the small narrow space, their breaths could be heard clearly.

Just then, a mouse suddenly dashed out of nowhere, perhaps startled by the movements, and coincidentally ran up to Willow’s feet. The man’s sharp senses seemed to have foreseen it as he clasped his hand over her mouth to muffle her upcoming screams. Then, he carried her in his arms.

Willow was afraid at first, but at that moment, her butt was seated on the man’s firm arms. She was carried in the man’s embrace like a child, and his other hand covered her dainty mouth. There was an indescribable yet suggestive quality to their posture.

Willow swallowed as she licked her lips anxiously. However, her small tongue accidentally touched the man’s palm as well. In that instant, a force seemed to ram into the man’s heart and turn his breaths even heavier. He reached out and put her down before opening the door and ordering her, “Get out.”

She was chased out just like that. Of course, the man came out after her. He walked toward the men’s bathroom while she went to the women’s with a reddened face.

What is going on?! When Willow returned to the cafe, Jasper was already back. He was working on his laptop, and the woman seated opposite him was looking at her with an examining look. When she met the woman’s gaze, the woman even smiled at her.
