All too late for his love

them understood what she had implied.

Skyler didn't say the rest of her words out loud. However, they were all adults. All of th Just as she expected, the comers of Matthew's lips curled up into a sneer. His sharp gaze swept past Willow's face.

"Me? Bullying her? She was the one who dragged me. Why would I touch her if she hadn't thrown herself at me willingly? I don't have such peculiar tastes for women, Matthew retorted.

Willow didn't stand up for herself immediately. There was a dazed expression on her face.

She stared blankly at Matthew. If she hadn't seen it for herself, she would've never believed that Matthew could have such a blood-curdling look on his gentle face after their reunion.

In fact, that expression didn't look out of place on him at all.

It was as if he had always treated her with such cruelty. The four years they had spent depended on one another seemed like a mere dream.

"Willow!" Zayn bellowed. It wasn't until she heard his voice ringing out in the air that she regained her senses.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

She didn't want to bear the baseless accusations. "I didn't drug Matthew, nor did I throw myself at him! I was framed. I only came here to find him for Aaron's sake," she said.

"Framed?" The sneer on Matthew's face became even more evident.

"Don't tell me that you're not Ms. Sanford. Don't tell me that you didn't come into my room out of your own initiative," he snapped.

"Don't say that you weren't the one who had shamelessly seduced me repeatedly at Mayer Tower's underground parking lot.

"Don't tell me that the person who almost killed Willa just to get into my bed wasn't you!" Matthew snarled.

"It wasn't me!" Willow retorted instinctively. It was true that she had gone to the underground parking twice to find Matthew. However, it wasn't to seduce him.

As for Willa's injury, it was just an act Willa had orchestrated along with Skyler.

"Would it kill you if you didn't seduce a man for a day?" Zayn seethed. His clenched fists made a cracking sound.

Zayn wanted to land a punch on Willow's infuriating face. But in the end, his fists landed forcefully on the wall beside her instead.

The only purpose of his actions was to make it difficult for Willow to speak up But no matter how difficult it was, some words had to be spoken out.

Willow raised her head slightly. Despite being as fragile as a flower, she still stood resolutely.

"That's right, Mr. Carter. I'll die if I don't seduce a man every day. But, what does that have to do with you?" Willow "Willow!" Zayn yelled.

questioned.

The weary smile on Willow's face only grew wider when she heard Zayn's roar, "My bram's working well, Mr. Carter. You don't need to keep reminding me what my name is."

Willow didn't have a particular fondness for abuse. Reaching out she pried away Zayn's hand from her with her right hand. Turning her head around, she looked at Matthew.

Initially, Willow thought that she could be calm when she spoke about certain things to Matthew. But whenever she looked at him, she would remember the moments when he'd hugged Aaron in the dungeon.

Again and again, Matthew would sing "Little Star" for Aaron as he coaxed him gently.

Willow's eyes teared up when she recalled it. It got to the point that she choked up when she spoke.
