Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )

Chapter 2326

Novel My baby’s daddy chapter 2326-“I found something. Look at this. It doesn’t seem like anything

modern.” A member noticed some copper items around the pond.

Winston went over and picked it up. “Looks like something between the tenth and thirteenth century.

Our guess is right on the money. The trade ships did pass this area and left a mark.”

That raised everyone’s morale. This replaceing alone was monumental for them, and they had more vigor

to search the place now. The discovery came quickly, but it was welcome. A while later, another

member fished out some shards from the pond as well. This proved one thing: the fleet must’ve

stopped at these islands, and the sailors must’ve stayed near the pond.

The team worked until dusk before they went back to their camp. Jasper took Willow back up, of

course. All the other ladies had to climb the ropes and get their hands burned a little, but Willow didn’t

have to.

Everyone came back to the camp and talked about their discovery with vigor. A big tent with glow-in-

the-dark stars stuck to the roof was set up so everyone could take a break and get into a discussion

there. They even brought out some alcohol to celebrate, though everyone only had a little to help them

sleep. Willow saw that her favorite red wine was available, so she asked for a glass.

“To a smooth expedition. Cheers.” Winston stood up and raised his glass, then everyone did the same

and drank their concoction. Willow took a sip and looked at Jasper, who had taken a seat on the chair

outside.

She asked him to join them, but he didn’t. Everyone was relaxed, but it was all the more reason for

Jasper to be on guard. He was in charge of everyone’s safety, and he was a more cautious person, to

begin with.

From time to time, Jasper would look at Willow, who was having fun with the team, and tenderness

would appear in his eyes. Every smile, every gesture, and every glance she threw his way was enough

to comfort his lonely heart.

Willow didn’t watch how much she was drinking, and she downed two glasses of wine. After that, she

approached Jasper and handed him a bottle of water. “Why didn’t you join us for a drink?”

“I don’t like to drink.” Jasper took the bottle, opened it up, and finished half of the water. Willow sat

beside him and requested the bottle. He handed it over, and she drank from the same place Jasper did,

not caring that his lips had touched the bottle.

Jasper looked at her, his eyes glinting, and a hint of delight flared in his heart.

“What a happy day. We discovered clues faster than we thought we would. It means we must be really

close to the thing we’re trying to replace,” said Willow happily.

“Congrats.” Jasper was happy for her.

Willow’s eyes were filled with excitement and a misty look, no doubt elicited by the alcohol. She rested

her chin on her hand and looked at Jasper. “I’m so happy I get to see the moon, the stars, and the sea

with you. What an honor.”

She didn’t say she liked him outright, but her sentiments were proof enough that she really liked his

company.

Jasper looked at her in silence.

“This is going to be a great memory for us,” said Willow.

The guys at the grill came to her with a plate of grilled meat and greens. She never had this kind of

food at home, for her father would not allow it. Her eyes twinkled. “Smells nice.”

She picked up a kebab and handed it to Jasper. “Dig in.”

Jasper took it and munched on it as they gazed at the moon. Willow picked up a pork belly skewer and

gulped down two slices. She thought they were a bit too greasy. She never liked the fattier slices of

meat, but she didn’t want to waste food, so she asked, “I don’t like fatty slices of meat. Do you want

them?”

She could have tossed the skewer away, but she didn’t. Jasper looked at her and took the unfinished

food, then he dug into it. Willow thought it was sweet and she smiled at him. “You don’t seem to mind

that it’s half-eaten by me.”
