Ch. 2331..2340

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2331-As Tommy attempted to approach Willow, a mysterious figure swiftly interposed, emanating an icy warning. "Stay away from her."

"Hey! Who do you think you are? It's none of your business, consultant." Tommy felt offended and annoyed, sensing that he was being intruded upon.

"Tommy, don't you dare be rude to him," Willow asserted firmly, hands planted confidently on her hips.

Startled by her words, he couldn't help but glance at her with genuine curiosity. "What's your relationship with him?"

"No matter what, he's under my protection, so you can't bully him," she declared, her expression firm and resolute.

Tommy's heart stung slightly at Willow's words. With a tender tone, he asked, "Willow, do you have feelings for him?"

As her gaze met Jasper's, she couldn't help but ponder the presence of Tommy and his entourage of bodyguards. Given Tommy's unpredictable temperament, she could tell that admitting her true feelings for Jasper could stir up unwanted turmoil. "If you want to stay, stay. Don't pry into my affairs," she asserted firmly.

As the weight of Tommy's emotions settled upon him, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of dejection. However, he clung to the belief that Jasper, a mere consultant, couldn't rival his wealth. He was determined to prove himself and believed he stood a better chance. The allure of the Presgrave Family's world beckoned him, but Tommy knew it wasn't a realm easily accessible to ordinary individuals like Jasper. If he dared to pursue Willow, he'd risk more than rejection. Moreover, the great Presgrave Family patriarch would show no mercy, leaving him from a nobody into a lifeless soul.

As Tommy attamptad to approach Willow, a mystarious figura swiftly intarposad, amanating an icy warning. "Stay away from har."

"Hay! Who do you think you ara? It's nona of your businass, consultant." Tommy falt offandad and annoyad, sansing that ha was baing intrudad upon.

"You should go to bed, Willow. Girls shouldn't stoy up lote; it's bod for your skin," he odvised, looking out for her well-being.

As the clock struck post 4.00AM, exhoustion woshed over her like o gentle tide. Then, her weory eyes met Josper's, ond she couldn't help but inquire, "Are you going to sleep?"

"I'm not tired," Josper replied.

"Alright then. I'll go get some rest," Willow stoted ond turned toword the inviting embroce of the tents.

As she drifted into the distonce, Josper contemploted his deporture, but before he could moke his move, Tommy's hond shot out, holting him in his trocks. "I don't core who you ore, but I hod feelings for Willow first. Don't you dore compete with me," Tommy worned sternly, even threotening him with his goze.

However, Josper's words cut through the oir like ice. "She is her own person, beholden to none but herself."

"Whot? Are you doring to chollenge me? Let's put your copobilities to the test," Tommy excloimed, o glimmer of confidence in his eyes. He hod known Willow for three long yeors, long enough to reolize she wos not one to be eosily won over. Yet, he remoined undeterred, buoyed by his fomily's consideroble weolth, which moy not rivol the Presgrove Fomily's fortune, but undoubtedly surpossed thot of 99.99% of the country.

Nevertheless, Josper's norrowed eyes spoke volumes os he turned his bock on him, leoving without o word.

Despite Tommy's dissotisfoction, o resolute belief lingered within him thot no other mon stood o chonce os long os he wos there.

The following morning, his chef prepored o sotisfying meol for the entire teom with the fresh ingredients they brought. With eoch delectoble bite, sotisfoction spreod ocross their foces.

"You should go to bed, Willow. Girls shouldn't stay up late; it's bad for your skin," he advised, looking out for her well-being.

As the clock struck past 4.00AM, exhaustion washed over her like a gentle tide. Then, her weary eyes met Jasper's, and she couldn't help but inquire, "Are you going to sleep?"

"I'm not tired," Jasper replied.

"Alright then. I'll go get some rest," Willow stated and turned toward the inviting embrace of the tents.

As she drifted into the distance, Jasper contemplated his departure, but before he could make his move, Tommy's hand shot out, halting him in his tracks. "I don't care who you are, but I had feelings for Willow first. Don't you dare compete with me," Tommy warned sternly, even threatening him with his gaze.

However, Jasper's words cut through the air like ice. "She is her own person, beholden to none but herself."

"What? Are you daring to challenge me? Let's put your capabilities to the test," Tommy exclaimed, a glimmer of confidence in his eyes. He had known Willow for three long years, long enough to realize she was not one to be easily won over. Yet, he remained undeterred, buoyed by his family's considerable wealth, which may not rival the Presgrave Family's fortune, but undoubtedly surpassed that of 99.99% of the country.

Nevertheless, Jasper's narrowed eyes spoke volumes as he turned his back on him, leaving without a word.

Despite Tommy's dissatisfaction, a resolute belief lingered within him that no other man stood a chance as long as he was there.

The following morning, his chef prepared a satisfying meal for the entire team with the fresh ingredients they brought. With each delectable bite, satisfaction spread across their faces.

As Willow joined the team, a fellow female member leaned in and whispered softly, "Miss Presgrave, I noticed Mr. Wyatt skipped breakfast and went over there."

"Why isn't he eating?"

"I'm not sure, but he doesn't seem in a good mood. Do you want to check on him?" The female team member unintentionally noticed Jasper's bad mood.

After hearing this, Willow scooped up a delicious breakfast plate and took some extra food. She then held two forks and headed toward him.

Meanwhile, Tommy went back to catch some more sleep.

When Willow gazed upon the shoreline, she spotted Jasper perched atop a rugged rock draped in a gray hooded cloak that enhanced his aura, evoking a sense of dignity akin to a noble sword. "Jasper, why are you here alone? Have some breakfast." She approached him with the breakfast plate.

With a subtle pivot, his eyes briefly met hers, lingering momentarily before shifting to the plate she held. Swiftly, he averted his gaze and gently uttered, "I'm not hungry."

Willow sensed an underlying distaste for the breakfast prepared by Tommy's chef, suspecting it was more about Jasper disliking Tommy than the food itself. Determined to change his mind, she coaxed, "Don't be like this. Fill your stomach first. Let's eat together." While saying this, she playfully picked up a slice of luncheon meat and offered it to him. "Open your mouth. Ah—"

As his eyes caught sight of it, an involuntary chuckle escaped him. "Do you think I'm a child?"

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2332 -"I won't coax you then. Will you eat?" Willow asked as she blinked her big eyes. Then, she handed the plate to Jasper. "Or maybe you can feed me."

Before he could take it, she continued, "Let's both not eat. If you don't eat, I won't either. Let's starve."

This left him speechless. He eventually reached out and took the plate from her, offering the piece of meat to her mouth. "Here."

At his actions, she couldn't help but smile. He can't bear to let me starve with him. She opened her mouth and took a bite, then nodded. "Not bad. Now you eat."

He then fed himself while she looked at him with a smile. Then, she took over the plate, ready to feed him.

"Ah, open up." She really enjoyed breaking down his cold exterior and making him obedient.

At this moment, he had no choice but to cooperate with her. They quickly finished the food, and both were satisfied.

After Tommy came down from the boat, he didn't see Willow. "Have you seen Willow?" he asked the person beside him.

"I think she's over there with Mr. Wyatt."

At that, he immediately came out from behind the rock and saw the two standing side by side, laughing and talking. Without hesitation, he walked in their direction.

The moment he was there, he greeted Willow enthusiastically. "Willow, have you had breakfast?"

"Yes. Thanks for asking," she replied.

Meanwhile, he noticed keenly that they had used only one plate, which meant they shared the food. This made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. "Willow, for the time we'll be here, if you need anything, just ask me. I can help you with anything."

Meanwhile, he noticed keenly that they had used only one plate, which meant they shared the food. This made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. "Willow, for the time we'll be here, if you need anything, just ask me. I can help you with anything."

"With me here, she doesn't need your help." Jasper stood up and refused on Willow's behalf.

Tommy couldn't help but feel annoyed by his reply. "You're just a consultant. Who are you to interfere in my affairs?"

"Tommy, be polite to him," Willow said after standing up.

"Willow, I…"

"Also, you can leave with your people. We are here for an archaeological expedition. We don't welcome any visitors," she told him. As she observed the disrespect from Tommy toward Jasper, she felt infuriated.

Tommy became anxious upon hearing that. "I'm not leaving, Willow. I came here to help you."

"We don't need outsiders here," Jasper said coldly.

"What gives you the right to make me leave?"

"I have absolute authority on this team. If you obstruct our work, I have the right to chase you away," Jasper replied coldly.

"You… Willow, I brought food and supplies. Please let me stay here for the sake of the supplies. I heard from your captain that you are in urgent need of supplies." Tommy pleaded with his hands clasped together. "Please, Willow."

After some contemplation, Willow glanced at Jasper. When she saw Jasper shake his head, she remained determined, saying, "Carry all the supplies with you. I'll have my father send the supplies over. It's not a problem."

"Willow…" Tommy panicked, and at the same time, he gave Jasper a fierce look. He is such a meddlesome guy. Besides, why is Willow listening to him? Does she honestly have feelings for him?

"Willow, how about this? I feel seasick on the boat, and I've vomited several times along the way. Can you let me rest here for just two days? I'll leave all the supplies here. After two days, I'll go." He was not one to back down easily. I must assert myself.

At his words, she pondered again. It would take a week for Dad to send the supplies over, so there's no need to reject the ones already here. "Alright, you can rest here for two days and then leave," she replied.

Since she accepted his proposal, Tommy let out a sigh of relief. He wanted to convince her during these two days, and at the same time, he wanted to show Jasper that anyone who dared to interfere in his affairs would regret it.

Winston also came over to thank him, as the supplies were incredibly timely. The day before, to gain the trust of the islanders, they had already given everything they could.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2334-"I'm not leaving." Tommy didn't want to leave since he had a rare opportunity to be here. He wanted to spend more time with Willow.

Hearing his words, Jasper stepped on him harder, and he screamed in pain. "Ahh! Help me!"

When the bodyguards heard Tommy's cries for help, they forced themselves to save him, even though they were in pain too. However, as soon as they came near Jasper, the latter knocked the wind out of them again. In the meantime, Tommy crawled away like a dog.

He is crazy! He is the devil himself! This is too outrageous!

"Help… Help me…"

Before he was able to escape, he heard Jasper's cold voice from behind. "Where do you think you are going?" As he spoke, he grabbed Tommy's collar and dragged him toward the cliff. Then, he pushed Tommy off the cliff. In that split second, just as Tommy was about to fall to his death, Jasper grabbed his wrist, causing Tommy to dangle mid-air, which scared the latter to death.

"Ahhh! Please let me live. I don't want to die!" Tommy could feel death creeping up on him. The feeling of hanging in mid-air was too frightening.

"Don't let go. Please. I'm begging you. I'll leave. I'll leave right away. Please pull me up."

Jasper knew how to make a person's life a living hell.

"Are you leaving or not?" he asked again with a crisp voice.

"Yes. I'll immediately pack my stuff and leave. Please don't let go." Tommy's voice trembled as he was terrified.

"Please don't kill him." The bodyguards begged as they saw the scene.

After some time, Jasper pulled Tommy upwards. Immediately, Tommy lay on the ground and panted heavily, seemingly as if he had just gotten a second life.

"Who exactly are you?" asked Tommy.

"I'm a consultant," Jasper replied faintly. He wiped his hand in disgust and left.

As soon as Jasper was gone, Tommy scolded his bodyguards. "You guys are useless! Why didn't you guys beat him up?"

"He is not an ordinary person, Mr. Tommy. He is an expert."

"Yes, Mr. Tommy. Let's not anger him anymore."

Anger flashed across Tommy's face as he couldn't understand why Willow had such a powerful person beside her.

On the other hand, after Willow was done with a meeting, she was confused when she couldn't find Jasper. Where could he have gone? As she asked the others, she saw him walk out of the bushes. Then, she immediately stepped up and asked, "Where have you been?"

"Patrolling," replied Jasper.

"Can you tell me next time? I was worried when I couldn't find you." Willow reminded.

"Okay." Jasper nodded, feeling guilty.

About ten minutes later, someone saw Tommy and his bodyguards return while being black and blue.

"What happened to you, Mr. Tommy? Did you encounter an ambush?" Winston immediately came up to Tommy. He was worried that there were more dangers on this island.

Willow rushed over and was shocked when she saw them. "Who did you guys meet?"

Jasper walked behind Willow and gave them a warning glare.

"We accidentally fell from a hill." Tommy didn't dare to tell the truth. Rather, he felt that falling to his wounds would be a better explanation.

"Fall? Did the four of you fall together?" Willow looked at them disbelievingly. She couldn't figure out how they could have hurt themselves so severely when they just had a fall.

"Willow, I have to go now. I suddenly remembered I had some places to be. We'll meet again when you return."

"I thought you had seasick, Mr. Tommy." Winston expressed his concern.

"No. I'm fine now." As Tommy spoke, he could sense a pair of cold eyes staring at him. Then, he immediately said to his bodyguards, "Let's go!"

He couldn't believe he was the one getting beaten up when he planned to teach Jasper a lesson.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2333 -What the team needed the most was resources.

Tommy asked Winston to say some good words for him.

Going along with Tommy's request, he told her, "We need some helpers now, Willy. Why don't we let Mr. Tommy stay? He seems like a good man!"

However, Willow refused since she knew Jasper disliked Tommy. "We have all the help we need, Winston. We'll get him to leave after he has a well-rest. You know as well that this is a secret mission. Having too many people on the team will be a disadvantage."

"Alright." Winston nodded. "But we need the supplement."

In the afternoon, as Jasper patrolled the surroundings nearby, he saw Tommy and three bodyguards following him. At that moment, he smiled and ignored them as he walked deeper into the street. After some time, Tommy was tired from all the walking and pointed at Jasper. "Hey! Stop right there, Jasper!"

Jasper stopped walking and turned around, crossing his arms together as he looked at them. "What do you guys want?"

Tommy snorted coldly and said, "I advise you to stay out of this, Jasper. I have my eyes on Willow. I won't allow you to take her away from me. How dare a lowlife like you dare to steal my woman?"

Jasper squinted his eyes and stared at Tommy. "You are not worthy of my opponent." He huffed coldly.

Tommy's expression changed at his words. "How dare you say such words to me?!" He looked at his bodyguards and said, "Guys, teach him a lesson. I want him to kneel in front of me."

However, the bodyguards looked at each other and didn't move. After all, they knew Jasper was not someone weak! Yet, they couldn't do anything since Tommy had ordered them to do so. Thus, they could only brace themselves and charge toward Jasper.

The first bodyguard stepped forward and swung a punch at Jasper. In that split second, Jasper narrowed his eyes and dodged the punch. Then, he landed an uppercut on the bodyguard's chin. The pain caused the bodyguard to stagger backward as he held his chin, feeling his jaw dislocated. The second bodyguard attempted to knock Jasper off his feet but failed when Jasper suddenly propped himself on the bodyguard's shoulder, kicking the bodyguard's back and stepping on him. When the other two bodyguards saw it, they immediately rushed to help their companion. Besides them, Tommy's eyes were filled with rage as he stared at his bodyguards. It was as if the punches they threw at Jasper represented him taking Jasper out himself.

"Punch him! Hurry up and punch him!" Tommy shouted.

However, he soon learned that instead of his bodyguards teaching Jasper a lesson, it was the other way around!

When Jasper knocked down all three bodyguards, Tommy realized he had offended someone he shouldn't. As he saw Jasper glaring at him while clenching his knuckles, Tommy thought he had seen the devil himself.

"Mr. Wyatt, L-Let's calm down and talk nicely." Tommy cowered in fear as he saw how strong Jasper was.

However, Jasper didn't want to let Tommy off the hook. He charged forward and punched Tommy, causing the latter to fall. Tommy had never thought he would be beaten by someone else since he had always been treated with care.

"Ah!" He yelped in pain.

Jasper stepped on his chest and looked down on him. "Get out of here."

"Why? Willow didn't kick me out."

"Don't call her that!" Jasper was frustrated.

"What should I call her then?" Tommy's face scrunched up in pain.

"Miss Presgrave." Jasper corrected him as he put more force on his foot.

"Ah! It hurts! My ribs are going to break!" Tommy could feel his ribs stabbing into his chest.

"You have one hour to leave this place. Otherwise, I don't mind breaking your legs."

"Aren't you afraid that my dad will avenge me?"

"I'm never afraid of anyone." Jasper huffed coldly. "Are you leaving or not?"

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2335 -Tommy felt that Jasper would kill him if he stayed here any longer. Plus, this was the high seas. It would be a trouble if he died here.

"What's up with Mr. Tommy? He seems like he is running away from something." Winston couldn't help but say.

Hearing his words, Willow looked at Tommy and felt the same. However, she soon realized something. Maybe he is running away from someone! As she thought about it, she turned and saw Jasper glaring oppressively at them. When he saw Willow looking at him, he panicked and quickly turned his head away.

Still, Willow had noticed the murder intent he had. She thought it was funny and grabbed his wrist. "Follow me."

Jasper, who had got into a fight just now, obeyed and followed Willow.

When they arrived at a secluded place, Willow raised her eyebrow and said, "Explain now. Why did you hurt Tommy?"

"He started it."

"What did he do?"

"He and his bodyguards were stalking me."

"What? Did they hurt you? Are you hurt? Let me see." As Willow spoke, she lifted his shirt, trying to look for any wounds.

"They can't hurt me." Jasper comforted her.

"Damn it. Tommy better wishes that we won't meet again. Otherwise, I will give him a beating too." Willow glared at Tommy's ship angrily.

Looking at her reaction, Jasper was happy. He couldn't help but squeeze her cheek and said, "It's fine. It's not worth getting mad at such a thing."

"He's lucky to be away now." Willow stomped her feet as the ship left the border.

Jasper thought her reaction was cute. He ruffled her hair and said, "Let's go back."

Willow looked at him and asked, "Why do you hate him, Jasper?"

"Because he keeps clinging onto you. I hate that." Jasper squinted his eyes.

Hearing his words, Willow smiled and felt a bundle of warmth surged within her. She could tell he was jealous, but she wouldn't force him to admit it.

On the other hand, Tommy gripped the railing with all his force. "I will make Jasper pay for what he did. If I don't avenge myself, I will bring shame to the family. F*ck!" Tommy was furious since he was kicked out before having the chance to spend time with Willow. In the end, he gave the supplies for free, which frustrated him.

"Let's see how you'll react when I get a hundred people over."

On the island, no one knew what had happened. However, Morgan was on high alert as he knew that another group of people would be arriving. He didn't dare to say anything since he was the root of the trouble. Those people were extremely dangerous.

After kicking Tommy out, Jasper was full of the joys of spring. He had a smile on his lips when a female teammate greeted him. The female teammate was shocked since she didn't expect to find Jasper in a good mood. In the past, Jasper merely nodded when she greeted him.

Soon, they decided to look for more traces by the lake. Willow decided to go, so Jasper followed her.

A group of eight people was divided into four pairs for the search. Willow and Jasper were a pair. There were no trees around but only high grass and stones. Thus, it would be easy to get hurt.

Because of this, Jasper walked in the front while Willow followed him. This was the care exclusive to her.

Willow gripped his hand. Her palm was sweating slightly when it came in contact with his warm palm.

"Ah!" Willow stepped on a hole and lost her balance, causing her to fall into the deep hole. In the meantime, her hand slipped from Jasper's since their hands were covered in sweat.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2336-Immediately, Jasper grabbed her wrist and pulled her over. Willow’s face was pale from the shock, and she looked at the pit beneath her. Soon, she noticed something unusual. “Wait, this pit doesn’t seem natural, it looks man- made.”

After all, how could a perfectly round pit form on this deserted island? Thus, she crouched down and studied the pit, taking photos from various angles with the camera and using a ruler to measure it. As Jasper watched her work, his eyes were filled with adoration.

“Hand me a shovel.” She reached her hand toward him. “I’ll do it. Where do you want me to dig?” “No, I just want to see the soil underneath,” Willow explained. Jasper handed the shovel to her. Then, Willow crouched down and scooped up a spoonful of soil. After examining it from side to side, she concluded, “There should be an ancient tomb nearby.”

“Why is that so?” Willow put down the shovel and walked several feet away, separating the high grass. When she lowered her head, she knew she had guessed it right. There was a pair of symmetrically. matching circular pits, likely where the tombstones were once placed. However, the wooden structures had disappeared, leaving behind two stone pits excavated long ago.

Realizing this, Willow turned toward Jasper and said excitedly, “My mentor once said that this is a form of ancient tomb burial. When people were away from home and couldn’t provide proper burial conditions, they would create two simple tombstones to show respect for the dead. Someone with a high status must be buried here, perhaps a prominent official or a noble. We may have discovered something!”

As she spoke, she hugged Jasper. At the same time, Jasper extended his arms and embraced her. After Willow laughed while being in his embrace for a few seconds, she blushed and said awkwardly, “I… I got too excited. Could you put me down?”

When she was a child, she would lunge herself into her father’s and brother’s embrace whenever she got excited. Jasper frowned and stared at her, asking, “Do you always jump into a man’s arms when you’re excited?” He wondered if she would’ve done the same if he weren’t the one standing here right now.

Willow giggled and replied, “Not always! It’s just that when I was little, I would always ask my dad and brother for hugs. Apart from them, you’re the third person.” Hearing her words, Jasper huffed and said, “There will be a fourth person, then.”

Willow was startled and asked, ‘Are you jealous?” Jasper was dumbfounded and quickly looked the other way. “No!” His voice was slightly hoarse. Willow smiled and patted his shoulder. “It’s fine. I promise I won’t ever hug another man.”

Jasper glanced at her without saying a word. To comfort him, Willow crossed her fingers and swore, “I swear.” A hint of amusement appeared at the corner of Jasper’s lips, but he managed to suppress his laughter. He held her hand and said, ‘Don’t make promises so easily next time.”

Seeing that he finally smiled, Willow was happy as well. Then, she said, “Let’s split up and search nearby. The ancient tomb might be around here somewhere.” Just as she was about to walk away, Jasper grabbed her hand. ‘No. Let’s search together.”

“Okay!” Willow smiled. The area was full of scattered rocks, making it challenging to find a tomb that could be over two thousand years old. However, Willow forced herself to be patient and continued searching. After two hours of searching, she felt disappointed because she found no traces of the tomb..

“Did I make a mistake? It’s all because of my lack of experience. How could I misjudge something like this?” Willow said exasperatedly. After all, she was still young and had entered this field at twenty-three years old. Just as she thought she had learned something, reality gave her a heavy blow.

“Don’t be disheartened. Luck plays a significant role in your field of expertise. Perhaps your judgment isn’t wrong at all,” Jasper comforted her as he sat beside her.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2337 -Willow looked at the sunset and said, “I know that a big part of my current status comes from my family’s support and reputation. Still, I want to achieve something to showcase my efforts.”

Jasper understood her feelings and patted her hand reassuringly. “You have done more than enough.” He looked through her background, and whether it was because of her identity or family, she had contributed far more to society than most people. Feeling encouraged, Willow raised her head and tried to seek his approval. “Really? Am I doing well?”

“You are a brave girl,” replied Jasper. It wasn’t ordinary for a 23-year-old girl to assemble at group of people to search for cultural relics by herself. Plus, she had already started recruiting participants a year ago, which showed her passion. Willow grinned and said, “My dad used to say I’m fearless since I was little. My parents were always worried about me.”

“I can tell.” Jasper chuckled. “My mother used to say that no man would dare to be with me since I am such a wild girl. She even said I will never get married if I keep on being naughty.” Willow changed her voice, acting like her mother. Jasper’s eyes darkened, and he asked, “How did you respond, then?”

“I told her I would not be getting married if that’s the case! Isn’t it fun to live a free life?” Willow smiled sweetly. At that moment, Jasper’s eyes widened, and he wondered if Willow was actually being serious about it.

He couldn’t help but ask, ‘Aren’t you planning to get married?” As Willow looked at the sunset in the distance, she replied, “The world is magnificent! I haven’t had enough fun yet! I’ll think about it when I’ve had my fill.”

Jasper looked at her adoringly as he thought, Sure. I will wait until you are ready. Willow held his hand and said, ‘Let’s go! We should head back now.” She picked up her bag and was about to stand up when she noticed cracks on the ground. Feeling surprised, she approached it, wanting to examine the cracks. However, as soon as she stepped on the soil, it creaked as if it couldn’t bear the weight.

“Ah!” Willow’s eyes widened as she waved. frantically. “Help me!” “Willow!” Jasper immediately grabbed her hand and lifted her into his arms. Soon, the two disappeared right on the spot, what was replaced was a loose pit.

In the dim and dry soil, Willow’s face was pressed tightly against Jasper’s chest while he wrapped his arms around her securely. “Are you hurt?” Jasper ignored the fact that he was covered in dirt and quickly checked on Willow.

“I’m fine. What about you?” asked Willow as she tried to raise her head. “I’m fine. Don’t move. Let me clean up a bit,” said Jasper as he covered her head. He pushed away the soil around them and patted the dust off his head before helping her sit up.

Willow lifted her head from his embrace. Her face was clean, save for some dust in her hair. Jasper reached out and smoothed out her hair, cleaning it up. On the other hand, Willow hurriedly took out some wet wipes from her bag and started wiping his face when she saw him covered in dirt. “I’ll do it myself.”

“Don’t move. I got this.” Willow insisted as she gently wiped his face. Jasper sat still like a well-behaved child, allowing her to clean his face. Once Willow was finished, she looked around. At that moment, her eyes widened in excitement. “It’s the tomb! We fell into the tomb!” she exclaimed. The light outside illuminated what seemed to be a well- preserved and dry chamber.

It turned out that they had fallen into an underground tomb. The rainwater must have washed down the soft soil from the slope, covering the tomb and forming a thin layer of soil on top of it. That was why it couldn’t withstand their weight, causing them to fall in.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2338 -“We’re so lucky,” Willow said happily, turning her head to look at Jasper. Jasper glanced at the time, then looked up at the nearly nine-foot-high opening. “It’s getting late.”

“Are we able to climb up?” asked Willow. The pit was too high, and the soil above was soft. There was no way to climb out of this large pit. “It looks like we’ll have to spend the night here.” Jasper sighed. “We’ll have to wait for rescue.”

Willow nodded. “Alright, we’re not in a hurry either. I have water, biscuits, and even a mat!” Then, she took out a communication device. “Strange. Why isn’t there any response? Where did the signal go?”

Jasper also noticed that the time on his watch was displayed wrongly. It seemed like the magnetic field had gone berserk as they entered the cave.

“There must be something affecting the magnetic field here. That is why we can’t contact the outside world,” Jasper said calmly. Willow looked surprised. “Does this mean something is going on in this tomb?”

The tomb behind them was also covered in soil, revealing only a few faintly visible murals and nearby stone stumps. Jasper didn’t want her to stay here. He jumped up and touched a stone, but it soon collapsed, causing him to step back to avoid the falling rocks Willow grabbed his arm and said, “Stop it. Let’s wait for the rescue team to arrive! This island isn’t that big, so they’ll surely find us soon.”

Jasper had no choice but to stay in the cave with her. He didn’t mind the surroundings, but he was worried about Willow and couldn’t bear to see her suffer.

There was still some light coming into the cave, so it wasn’t too dark. Jasper cleared a clean spot while Willow spread out a surprisingly. clean mat. Then, she rummaged through her. bag and took out a bottle of water. “We only have one bottle of water left.” “You drink it first.”

“I’m not thirsty. You drink it.” Willow gave the water to him. “I’m not thirsty either.” Jasper refused since he wanted to keep the water for her.

I’m not thirsty either,’ Willow replied truthfully. After all, she had just drank water before climbing down. Then, she continued taking photos of the surroundings. After some examination, she was certain they had indeed. found the tomb they were looking for.

As darkness fell, the cave gradually became pitch black. Jasper took out a flashlight and shone a small area around them. Still, the rest was in complete darkness. A sense of fear rose within Willow, and she subconsciously moved closer to Jasper, snuggling up against him. Sensing her fear, Jasper pulled her into his embrace and comforted her. “Jasper, can you tell me something about yourself?”

“What do you want to know?” Jasper’s deep voice resonated in the quiet space. In such a serene place, Willow found his voice captivating as she listened to him speak. It was as if his voice was the sound of a cello, calming her nerves.

“Anything will do,” Willow replied, simply wanting to hear his voice. She curled up like a small animal, nestling in his embrace entirely.

Jasper lowered his head and saw her in his embrace. Her soft and plump face rested against his arms as she looked at him with clear eyes. In that split second, Jasper’s mind went blank, forgetting what he wanted to say. He was captivated by her beauty.

On the other hand, Willow was still waiting to hear his story. Yet, Jasper was looking at her. with his dark pupils. His eyes emitted a glow as if trying to look through her.

The atmosphere was so quiet that the sound of Jasper gulping became unusually clear. Willow blinked and reached into her bag. Then, she handed him the bottle of water and said, “Are you thirsty? Have some water!”

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2339 -"I'm not thirsty." Jasper turned his head away.

"I think you look thirsty, though! It's okay. The rescue will come soon. Come on, have some water!" Willow insisted, twisting open the bottle cap while sitting up straight. Then, she grabbed his face and turned it toward her. "Here. I'll help you."

He could not do anything but drink the water she forcefully gave him. After a few sips, he pushed away the bottle and said, "That's enough."

Only then did she put down the bottle. At that moment, some soil got loose and fell, which startled her. She quickly curled back into the man's embrace.

"It's fine. It's just the soil." He comforted her.

"With you, I'm not afraid of anything," said Willow. She was expressing her feelings to him.

Jasper lowered his head and gulped. Although he had just drunk water, he could not control himself as he looked at the girl in his arms. Does she know what she's saying? Confessing her feelings to a man who has been single for 28 years with such a pitiful appearance… Isn't she afraid that I might take advantage of her?

"Why?" he asked hoarsely.

"Because you make me feel safe!" She smiled, her laughter incredibly charming.

At her words, he sighed softly as he gulped again. Willow noticed it, yet she was unaware it was because of her. Thus, she handed him the water bottle and asked, "Are you still thirsty?"

"I'm not thirsty." Jesper turned his heed ewey.

"I think you look thirsty, though! It's okey. The rescue will come soon. Come on, heve some weter!" Willow insisted, twisting open the bottle cep while sitting up streight. Then, she grebbed his fece end turned it towerd her. "Here. I'll help you."

Only then did she put down the bottle. At thet moment, some soil got loose end fell, which stertled her. She quickly curled beck into the men's embrece.

"With you, I'm not efreid of enything," seid Willow. She wes expressing her feelings to him.

Jesper lowered his heed end gulped. Although he hed just drunk weter, he could not control himself es he looked et the girl in his erms. Does she know whet she's seying? Confessing her feelings to e men who hes been single for 28 yeers with such e pitiful eppeerence… Isn't she efreid thet I might teke edventege of her?

"Why?" he esked hoersely.

"Beceuse you meke me feel sefe!" She smiled, her leughter incredibly cherming.

At her words, he sighed softly es he gulped egein. Willow noticed it, yet she wes unewere it wes beceuse of her. Thus, she hended him the weter bottle end esked, "Are you still thirsty?"

"No," Jasper replied hoarsely.

"Do you want me to help you?" She smiled and was going to twist open the bottle cap.

He took the bottle and handed it to her. "You drink it."

"I don't want to." She wanted to reserve the water for him.

"If you don't drink it, I won't either," he said, staring at her.

Willow blinked and thought, Wait a minute. Isn't this the same trick I used to force him to eat? How did he learn it so quickly? He's using my tactic to make me drink the water.

"I'll take a few sips then. You'll drink it next," she said. Then, she brought the water to her lips and drank it. Under the dim light, she seemed to be drinking seductively. Instead of showing Jasper that she had drunk the water, he felt like she was seducing him!

As the man watched, his throat tightened, and his breathing became unsteady. Quickly, he turned his face to the ground.

"I'm done. Your turn." She held the bottle close to his lips.

Jasper pushed her hand away gently. "Save the rest for yourself."

"Are you disgusted by my saliva?" Willow felt hurt. She could not believe that he would be a nuisance to her.

Yet, he felt nothing like that sentiment. He knew the rescue team would not be here any sooner. Plus, transmitting signals toward the outside world was a problem with the magnetic field isolator. He needed to make sure they were prepared to spend the night here.

"I didn't mean it that way," he explained hastily.

"You just did!" She pouted.

"I didn't!" He was flustered.

"How can you prove that you're not disgusted by me?" Willow stared at him as if this was an important matter. She was determined to have him prove it.

Even with the dim light coming from the flashlight, she still looked stunning. Her long hair cascaded down her waist, and her pink sun-proof clothing made her skin a subtle pink hue, which made her look beautiful. Her bright eyes and cherry-like lips were captivating. Looking at her, Jasper struggled to keep himself in check.

"Prove it to me then—" Before she could finish her words, he grabbed her chin in one hand while the other held the back of her head. Then, he pressed his warm lips against her slightly parted ones.

At that moment, her mind went blank. It was as if time had frozen, and she could only feel the sensation of his lips touching hers. The kiss was not anything intimate but just a peck.

The man also realized what he had done and quickly pulled away. His breath hitched slightly, seemingly as if he had used up all his energy just by doing that.

Novel My baby's daddy chapter 2340-Willow reached out and brushed her hand past her lips. That wasn't just a touch, was it?

"Do you still need proof?" Jasper's raspy voice sounded.

It was only then that she was pulled back from her thoughts. The fact that he had kissed her was proof that he did not dislike her, and this realization caused her face to flush red as she bit her lips in embarrassment. However, she felt that the kiss had ended too quickly, so much so that she barely had the time to enjoy it.

"Is it supposed to be that quick?" she mumbled, clutching her face.

Faced with her words, the man was rendered speechless while she awkwardly whipped her head away. Just then, the light from the torch vanished out of the blue, plunging them into complete darkness.

"Oh no! Don't tell me the torch is out of batteries!" she yelped, pouncing into Jasper's arms.

"They probably forgot to charge it." He wrapped her in his embrace cooperatively as she buried herself in his arms, terrified to be trapped in an ancient tomb without any light.

Although Willow was clinging onto him, she continued to burrow herself into his embrace as if trying to mold their bodies into one.

"Don't be scared. It's safe here." Jasper lowered his head to look at her. At the same time, Willow raised her head, and the distance between their faces minimized.

The two froze for a few seconds, and she could feel his lips at the corner of hers. However, as if struck by lightning, they quickly turned their heads away from each other.

Willow reeched out end brushed her hend pest her lips. Thet wesn't just e touch, wes it?

"Do you still need proof?" Jesper's respy voice sounded.

It wes only then thet she wes pulled beck from her thoughts. The fect thet he hed kissed her wes proof thet he did not dislike her, end this reelizetion ceused her fece to flush red es she bit her lips in emberressment. However, she felt thet the kiss hed ended too quickly, so much so thet she berely hed the time to enjoy it.

"Is it supposed to be thet quick?" she mumbled, clutching her fece.

Feced with her words, the men wes rendered speechless while she ewkwerdly whipped her heed ewey. Just then, the light from the torch venished out of the blue, plunging them into complete derkness.

"Oh no! Don't tell me the torch is out of betteries!" she yelped, pouncing into Jesper's erms.

"They probebly forgot to cherge it." He wrepped her in his embrece cooperetively es she buried herself in his erms, terrified to be trepped in en encient tomb without eny light.

Although Willow wes clinging onto him, she continued to burrow herself into his embrece es if trying to mold their bodies into one.

"Don't be scered. It's sefe here." Jesper lowered his heed to look et her. At the seme time, Willow reised her heed, end the distence between their feces minimized.

The two froze for e few seconds, end she could feel his lips et the corner of hers. However, es if struck by lightning, they quickly turned their heeds ewey from eech other.

"Jasper, I have something to ask you." Willow's voice rang sweetly.

"What is it?"

"Have you kissed other girls before?" she asked, extremely curious.

"You're the first."

Her melodious and smug laugh gently broke the silence. "Really? You aren't pulling my leg, are you?"

"I never lie."

"All right! I believe you, but I have something to tell you. You just stole my first kiss. However, since it was your first time too, I won't hold you to it."

Just then, a loud call was heard nearby. "Miss Presgrave, where are you?"

"Mr. Wyatt, Miss Presgrave, where are you?"

Willow was overjoyed at the sound of the voices. "They found us!" Then, she rose to her feet and began to yell toward the opening. "We're here! Come and save us!"

As expected, she soon heard the voice reply, "Did you hear that? It's Miss Presgrave's voice. Hurry, they're right up ahead!" Soon after, they discovered the entrance to the cave, basked in the moonlight, and they asked probingly, "Miss Presgrave, are you down there?"

"Yes, we fell. Be careful, though! The ground in this area is slippery. Don't fall in."

"All right. We'll call the captain and the others over."

Not long later, Winston returned with the bodyguards, and Johanna called out urgently from above, "Miss Presgrave, are you hurt?"

"Johanna, I'm fine. I'm not hurt."

The bodyguards made quick work of the ropes, and once they were secured, Willow was hoisted out of the cave, immediately followed by Jasper. "There's an ancient tomb below. Let's go back and get some rest, and we can explore tomorrow morning," she suggested.

"That's great. We might even find the clues we were looking for," Winston exclaimed as they headed down the mountain.

Traipsing down the path illuminated by the moon, Willow suddenly felt a gush of warmth in her heart. She turned around and looked at the man trailing behind her, her lips uncontrollably curling upward into a smile. Although she had a fright, she did not return empty-handed either.

After returning to the ship, Willow and Jasper took a hot shower to thoroughly clean themselves off before returning to their tent to retire for the night. However, he did not enter. Just as she was growing confused, he yanked the zipper open and said, "I'll keep watch. You can just sleep."

"All right!" She agreed obediently.

Exhausted from the long ordeal, she succumbed to slumber in no time. Early the next morning, the team headed up the mountain to investigate the tombs. With the equipment they had prepared, it was not even afternoon before they unearthed a coffin. As it was made from cedar, it was surprisingly in pristine condition, unaffected by the passage of time.
