Chapter 302
If it were any other day, lan would have tossed the person who made him angry into the ocean without a second thought. But he was in a good mood. He also didn’t want to make an enemy out of Willow, so he decided to show some mercy.
“What?” Tim looked at lan incredulously. When he finally processed what lan said, he was so happy that he almost jumped for joy.
Just losing his bonus meant he wouldn’t be fired or severely punished. What a relief! Tim profusely expressed his gratitude to Willow and lan before walking back to Mandy and gently pulling her into his
arms.
After gaining some wealth, he had indeed become arrogant. He indulged in a life of pleasure and forgot to spend time with his loved ones. He even neglected Harlan’s education.
Though the allure of the outside world was strong, he realized that family was what truly mattered. Harlan needed a proper upbringing. Otherwise, his arrogance could offend someone powerful and cause a disaster.
Held tenderly by Tim, Mandy couldn’t help but tear up. She hadn’t always been a harsh person.
Tim’s coldness, Harlan’s mischief, and the burden of various stresses had made her adopt a domineering facade. Gradually, she lost touch with the kind and simple person she once was.
Today, she felt grateful to Willow for the lesson. People often get lost at the top. Sometimes, a fall into the mud would help them see clearly.
Meanwhile, Zayn stood by his car, holding a cigarette. His eyes were fixed on lan as he claimed to be
Aaron’s father and walked away with Willow and Aaron.
The burning cigarette eventually scorched his fingers, jolting him back to reality. Like a crazed stalker, he got into his car and followed lan’s Rolls–Royce all the way to Willow’s neighborhood.
After lan went upstairs with Willow, Zayn waited like a fool for an hour, then two. lan still had not come
down. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
The thought of what could happen between a man and a woman at that time drove him nearly insane.
A month ago, Willow had Aaron call/Kenan “dad“. Now, she was letting lan take on the role of a father, How many fathers did she want Aaron to have before she was satisfied?
Zayn punched the wall in frustration. Blood seeped from his knuckles, but he didn’t feel the pain. Unable to contain his rage, he called Theodore.
“Theo, I don’t care how you do it, but get lan over to your place now.” He hung up right away after saying,
that.
Theodore was speechless, He realized how tough being an older brother was. He was always at Zayn’s beck and call.
2/2
After lan left the neighborhood, Zayn stubbed out his cigarette and headed inside. Liam had already found Willow’s apartment number, making it easy for Zayn to locate her.
When lan left earlier, he forgot his coat at Willow’s apartment. When she heard the doorbell, she assumed it was him returning to retrieve it. So she opened the door without checking through the peephole.
To her surprise, Zayn stood there. As soon as Willow opened the door, Zayn saw the table full of dishes in
the living room.
Thinking of how she used to stay away from chores when they were together, he was enraged to see her now cooking soup to please another man. His eyes burned with rage.
