All too late for his love (Willow and Zayn)

Chapter 26

“Miss, what are you doing?” Frowning, Matthew coldly shook off Willow’s hand with obvious irritation.

Willow couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Matthew, who had been through thick and thin with her, didn’t recognize her?

At that moment, she noticed the adorable and charming woman standing beside Matthew.

She knew her–she was Skyler’s best friend, Wilhelmina Foster.

Wilhelmina gently wrapped her arms around Matthew’s and said, “Matt, do you know Willow? She seems to be familiar with you. I’ll get jealous if there’s

Matthew tightened his grip on Wilhelmina’s hand, and his expression turned gentle. “Willa, I only want you.”

Willa…

Willow’s heart skipped a beat. In the dungeon, Matthew always called her Willa. Now, he didn’t recognize her and was calling another woman Willa. What on earth was going on?

Willow instinctively felt that this must be Skyler and Wilhelmina’s doing. When they were in school, the two of them always got up to mischief.

Seeing Matthew about to leave with Wilhelmina, Willow hurriedly caught up. “Matthew, I am Willa! What’s happened? How could you forget about Aaron and I? Matthew, Aaron’s condition is getting worse. He-”

Matthew carefully embraced Wilhelmina. His eyes were filled with concern and pity.

The Matthew before her now slowly overlapped with the gentle young man in Willow’s memory.

But when he faced her, all that remained was coldness. “Willow, apologize to Willa now.”

“I didn’t even touch her! She fell on her own!”

Willow noticed the surveillance cameras flickering in the underground garage and quickly added, “If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance be the one apologizing.”

“Matt, it hurts…” Wilhelmina’s adorable face showed apparent distress, as if she were truly hurt. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Matthew’s gaze sharpened. His words to Willow were filled with warning and impatience. “Apologize!”

Willow lifted her head, staring at him as though he were a stranger.

Matthew had a softly contoured face. Seeing him, she couldn’t help but think that this was what a kind gentleman looked like.

Yet, in just a few short months, he had transformed from a refined gentleman into an ice sculpture.

Remembering how Matthew always protected her unconditionally, even sacrificing his own meal to save a piece of bread for her, Willow felt deep sadness seeing him unable to discem right from wrong, just like Zayn.

She was about to speak up in defense of herself when suddenly her knee buckled in pain. Matthew had brutally kicked her knee.
