Chapter 326
Wilhelmina thought that with such a severe fall, Matthew would at least come back to comfort her. But he didn’t.
Feeling the sharp pain in her forehead and surrounded by endless darkness, Wilhelmina’s face twisted in fury. “Willow, you think ruining my reputation with Matt will give you a shot at stealing him away? Not a chance!
“In this game between us, I will have the last laugh. And you, you’ll be left to rot in the depths of despair, never to rise again!” Wilhelmina seethed inwardly.
Tonight, Willow had a blind date lined up. After fetching Aaron from kindergarten, she dropped him off at Moses’s place. Moses lived just across the street from the small apartment Willow rented.
He was eager to teach Aaron medicine and suggested that she drop Aaron off after school or let him send someone to pick Aaron up.
Aaron showed a keen interest in medicine, and while Willow didn’t want him to get too tired, she couldn’t ignore his passion for learning. She decided to wholeheartedly support him.
With Aaron studying medicine at Moses’s, Willow found herself with more time to focus on her work and hustle for extra income. As Willow collected Aaron from kindergarten, the teachers couldn’t apologize enough.
With only three of them to wrangle almost 30 kids, it was no surprise things occasionally slipped past them.
Aaron stood out from the crowd; while most kids would wall at the slightest injury, he remained quiet, even concealing his bruises. Despite noticing the scratches on his face, the teachers didn’t delve deeper.
Willow didn’t feel inclined to push the issue with the teachers. Their pledge to give Aaron extra attention was all she needed to hear.
Willow had no intentions of pursuing a relationship with Moses’s grandson, so she didn’t bother dressing up for the occasion. She simply wanted to have a straightforward conversation.
Moses was a stand–up guy, and she figured his grandson would be decent, too. It was better to lay everything out now to avoid any future awkwardness.
She slipped into a casual white dress and threw on a beige coat. Even without makeup, her natural beauty radiated like a work of art.
Moses had arranged a private room at Gourmet Haven for them. When Willow arrived, his grandson hadn’t shown up yet.
The only thing on the table was a pot of lukewarm water. Thirsty, she poured herself a glass and casually scrolled through the news, patiently awaiting Moses‘ grandson,
The VIP room at Gourmet Haven was exquisite, blending classical elegance with modem luxury. The privacy was impeccable, and with the door closed, it felt like the world outside didn’t exist.
It was just her and the pot of tea, enveloped in tranquility. Willow waited for nearly half an hour, but Moses’s grandson still hadn’t arrived. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
She was about to call Moses to check when the door suddenly opened. To her disbelief, standing in the doorway was Duncan, the man responsible for orchestrating that scandalous affair.
