Chapter 2052
“W-What do you want? I-I can give you a-anything. Just don’t kill me,” the captain spoke somewhatinarticulately. Assuming Jasper could not understand, he repeated his sentence.
Jasper’s lips curled faintly while revealing a murderous intent, and with a gunshot, the last member ofthe pirate ship fell to the ground. Then, his gaze turned toward the island. The fierce killing intent in hiseyes suddenly dissipated and was replaced by a hint of anxiety and panic because he had beendelayed here for too long, and a certain someone might be worried about him.
He had to return to her side as soon as possible. Thus, he jumped onto a small speedboat nearby,started it, and headed toward the island.
On the island, Willow could not relax or focus on anything without news about Jasper. She had beenpacing back and forth for quite a while, and Ricky had ordered his men to search the surroundings tocomfort her. However, his gaze kept scanning the dark sea in hopes that Jasper would return soon.Their miss was getting anxious because of him.
“Miss Presgrave, have some water.” Johanna handed her a bottle of water.
Willow shook her head. “I’m not thirsty.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Presgrave. We all know how capable Mr. Wyatt is. Whatever he does, he will comeback safely.” Johanna tried to reassure her.
Willow’s palms were clenched so tightly that they turned pallid. She looked at Johanna and asked forreassurance. “Will he be okay?” Her eyes reddened as if she was on the verge of tears.
“Yes, he’ll be fine.” Johanna hurriedly assured her. It was the first time she had seen Willow on theverge of crying, and she felt distressed. She had protected Willow for nearly ten years and shared adeep bond with her.
Willow sighed. “Only if he stands safely before me will I rest assured.”
At that moment, Ricky heard the sound of a yacht approaching from the sea and immediately took thebinoculars to search the ocean. Finally, he locked onto a figure that made him breathe a sigh of relief.He strode quickly to Willow and reported, “Miss Presgrave, Mr. Wyatt is back.”
“Where? Where is he?” She looked behind him, and Ricky handed her the binoculars while pointingtoward the sea. “Over there.”
Willow was taken aback and quickly took the binoculars to look at the sea. Under the moonlight, shesaw a yacht approaching, and the man sitting on it could only be Jasper. A smile of joy finally appearedin her eyes as she looked at the approaching figure and questioned, “Why is he returning from theocean? Where did he go?”
Ricky dared not voice it. If he told Willow that Jasper had gone to the pirate ship alone, she wouldcertainly be furious. I’ll leave that to Mr. Wyatt!novelbin
Of course, she was not in a hurry to hear the answer. She put the binoculars back into Ricky’s handsand ran toward the beach, with Johanna quickly following behind.
Jasper also saw her standing there. His speedboat rushed ashore, and he was drenched all over afterstepping off it. Water droplets from his wet black hair ran down his narrow eyebrows and eyes. Despitelooking somewhat bedraggled, he exuded an untamed wildness and dominance.
Willow wanted to hug him, but he pushed her away with his wet arms. “I’m drenched. Don’t get yourclothes wet.”
She was shoved away just like that, so she could not help but question him, “Where did you go? Whydid you disappear without a word? Do you know how worried I was?”
That interrogation made the others around them leave tactfully. It was best to stay away from the scenewhere this couple quarreled.
“I… Uhm…” He found it difficult to explain and looked somewhat helpless, like a child who had donesomething wrong.
“Why did you come back from the sea? Did you fall?” She made a guess.
“Yes. I was chasing a pirate and accidentally fell into the sea,” he immediately replied while going alongwith her guess. He wondered if telling her his hands had just been stained with more than a dozen liveswould terrify her.
