Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2305

Jasper’s phone rang while driving, and he glanced at it before answering. “Hello?” “How dare you fly solo again, you punk! How many times have I told you?” Antoine scolded from the other end. “The mission is complete.”

“That still isn’t an excuse for you to leave your teammates behind. You should know that they are an extra layer of security for you. They can provide support if something happens to you.” Antoine was genuinely concerned about his safety. “I’ve accumulated some leave days, haven’t I, Uncle?”

“Why? Do you want to take a break?” “Can you sum up the days I’ve collected over the last five years? I want to use it all up at once.”

“What?! Over the last five years?” “Yes, over the last five years.” “That means you’ll be away for three months!” “That’s it? Give me another three months. I want to take six months off! Jasper insisted.

“You rascal… Fine! Six months it is! What are you planning to do during your break?” “I won’t report anything from my personal time.” With that, he ended the call, leaving Antoine frothing at the mouth.

By the time Jasper returned to the safe house, Aimee had already been notified to report back. Of course, she had also received arrangements from the organization as well. As Jasper’s leave had become effective immediately, he didn’t need to return with her.

Her heart felt torn, aching, unwilling, and helpless, for everything but the heart could be controlled in this world. Falling in love with someone was like being intoxicated. If the love was reciprocated, there would be a cure. Contrariwise, the poison would be lethal. “Have you decided to stay by her side, Jasper? Aimee asked calmly, suppressing her heartache.

“Thank you for your hard work, Aimee. I have some personal things to take care of next,” answered Jasper. To him, the young woman was both his subordinate and his comrade. However, there was no romantic love.

Aimee suddenly closed her eyes, and tears: streamed down her face uncontrollably. “Aimee, I appreciate your support in my work. You’re a good comrade and subordinate,’ said Jasper as he handed her a piece of tissue. “I don’t want to be just your comrade or subordinate. I want…” Aimee reached out, trying to embrace him.
