Chapter 2345 Defeating the Pirates
"W-What do you want? I-I can give you a-anything. Just don't kill me," the captain spoke somewhat inarticulately.
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 of the pirate
ship fell to the ground. Then, his gaze turned toward the island. The fierce killing intent in his eyes suddenly
dissipated and was replaced by a hint of anxiety and panic because he had been delayed 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 been pacing back

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 come back safely."
Johanna tried to reassure her.
Willow's palms were clenched so tightly that they turned pallid. She looked at Johanna and asked for reassurance.
"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 the verge of crying,
and she felt distressed. She had protected Willow for nearly ten years and shared a deep 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 the binoculars
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 pointing toward the sea.
"Over there."
Willow was taken aback and quickly took the binoculars to look at the sea. Under the moonlight, she saw a yacht
approaching, and the man sitting on it could only be Jasper. A smile of joy finally appeared in her eyes as she looked
at the approaching figure and questioned, "Why is he returning from the ocean? Where did he go?"
Ricky dared not voice it. If he told Willow that Jasper had gone to the pirate ship alone, she would certainly be
furious. I'll leave that to Mr. Wyatt!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, she was not in a hurry to hear the answer. She put the binoculars back into Ricky's hands and 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 after stepping off it.
Water droplets from his wet black hair ran down his narrow eyebrows and eyes. Despite looking 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 your clothes wet."
She was shoved away just like that, so she could not help but question him, "Where did you go? Why did 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 scene where this
couple quarreled.
"I… Uhm…" He found it difficult to explain and looked somewhat helpless, like a child who had done something
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 along with her
guess. He wondered if telling her his hands had just been stained with more than a dozen lives would terrify her.
