All too late for his love (Willow and Zayn)

Chapter 397

Lian had dialed Zayn’s number with little hope of reaching him.

It was early, and he assumed Zayn would still be lost in slumber.

Tet, to his surprise, Zayn picked up almost instantly.

He wondered if Zayn had actually stayed up all night waiting for this result

Liam stood tall, bracing himself for whatever was to come.

“What’s the result? Zayn’s voice had a hint of raspiness, tinged with either nerves or excitement. Liam couldn’t quite discern which.

“Boss, you and Mr. Aaron Sanford.no, scratch that, Mr. Aaron Carter.. you two.. you’re blood, father and son!”

Liam knew Zayn’s disdain for Aaron all too well, so he hurriedly added, “Boss, if you’re skeptical, I’ll bring that paternity test report over to Lakecoast right this minute!

“And boss, I swear on everything holy, that the paternity test is as legit as they come! I’ve been camped out at the hospital, so there’ll be no chance for any monkey business. So believe me when I say, you and Mr. Aaron, you’re blood through and through!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Later, Liar prattled on about something, but Zayn couldn’t make out the words. All that reverberated in his mind was Liam’s solemn proclamation that he and Aaron were blood, father and son

Zam gripped his head in torment. Willow hadn’t deceived him. Aaron was indeed his own flesh and blood.

Yet, he had spat venom, branding Aaron a despicable bastard, and Willow, a whore

He had turned a blind eye to Aaron’s medical needs, forcing Willow to strike a deal with a dubious organization just to scrape together the cash for Aaron’s surgery.

When Aaron was kidnapped, he remained aloot. To save him, Willow had to sell herself at the Rumpus Club.

In that moment, she suffered humilation and despair, while he callously stomped on her dignity with the Rumpes Club scandal

After all her hardship, she finally scraped together enough to rescue Aaron. But he had heartlessly sent Aaron plummeting into the abyss.

If Aaron was truly theirs, then she hadn’t deceived him, and she hadn’t aborted the child all those years ago,

She must’ve split from him under duress, maybe coerced by Louis or other circumstances. It couldn’t have been what she wanted.

And as for her and Louis getting together…

He’d seen Louis pinning her down, but maybe it wasn’t consensual.

If Louis had been tormenting her all this time, how had she managed to make it through alone with a child?

ayn was itching to see Wallow, but this inner turmoil held him back. Now, he couldn’t summon the courage to face her.

Zayn

He was too ashamed.

“Boss, Mr. and Mrs. Carter have been yearning for a grandson. With Aaron’s identity confirmed, should I share the good news with them?”

“No, not yet,” Zayn said, his voice quivering. “I’ll break the news to them personally later.”

Zayn had always envisioned a future where he reconciled with Willow and Aaron, bringing them back to the Carter residence, to his beloved parents. They would be a united family, never to be torn apart again

Little did he know, his momentary lapse of judgment would lead to unforgivable mistakes.

He could only watch helplessly as Willow suffered while being consumed by his own regret.

But those were stories for another time.

Wynn was Moses‘ most prized student. Their bond was that of mentor and protégé, yet it felt more like father and daughter.

After Moses settled in Havenpoint, Wynn often accompanied him in solving medical enigmas.

Zam knew this much. It could be said that Moses practically watched Zayn grow up
