Ridiculous
Solomon frowned the moment he saw her.
“Didn’t sleep well last night?”
Willow kept silent.
She did not feel like answering that question at all.
She looked at Solomon despondently, her eyes red with exhaustion, then adverted her eyes.
“Solomon, I want to go back.”
“What did you say?”
Solomon almost lost his calm when he heard such a cowardly statement from Willow.
“Go back? Willow, can you stop being a coward? Why would you want to go back to such a place? Do
you want to let them torture you to death?”
Solomon seldom shouted at Willow, but this time was an exception.
The color drained from Willow’s face, but her gaze was extraordinarily firm.
“But my baby belongs to that family. The father of my baby is there. I should go back.”
“You…”
Solomon was beyond exasperated upon hearing that.
However, he did not have a choice, as he was only her friend. If she had made up her mind, he figured
he had no right to stop her.
With that, Solomon walked out of the room.
After hearing about it, Ichika, who had come back from the market, hesitated for a moment while
cooking in the kitchen before shifting her gaze toward Willow.
“Willow, are you really going back there? I heard from Solomon that they mistreated you. Can you not
go back?” she pleaded, as she was too worried.
Willow, who was beating the eggs, turned around and stared at her.
What a cute face. Even though she’s not exactly a real beauty, her moist eyes are like spring in the
desert. Her gaze looks so pure and clean. So, it’s not that no woman can’t win his heart. It’s just that he
didn’t meet the right one.
A moment later, Willow looked elsewhere
“Ichika, could you tell how did you win Solomon’s heart? He used to be a heartless man.”
“Huh?”
Ichika blushed upon hearing Willow mentioning that.
“I did nothing… I merely waited for him patiently.”
“Waited for him?”
Ichika nodded. “Yes, I know Solomon has been through a lot, which made him unable to trust anyone
anymore and lock himself up in his lonely world. So I could only wait patiently. Fortunately, I was able to
wait it out.”
Ichika did not hide anything from Willow probably because the latter was a close friend of her husband.
Willow was momentarily stunned.
She did not respond, as Ichika’s words kept playing in her mind.
He suffered so much that he lost his trust in others. How could I not notice this after being by his side
for so many years? I used to think he wouldn’t fancy any other woman besides Sasha.
With that, Willow went back to the Emmanuel residence.
The whole house was deadly quiet. After Sebastian had created a fuss, followed by Solomon’s
episode, the atmosphere was utterly solemn.
Willow wandered around the whole villa but did not see anyone.
“You’re back? Madam was hospitalized last night and everyone had gone over.”
Finally, she ran into a housemaid, but the latter seemed somewhat displeased to see her.
Hospitalized?
Willow’s expression darkened. Without delay, she left the house, wanting to go to the hospital.
However, the housemaid opened her mouth again. “Ms. Fischer, Madam has given her instruction. If
you come back, don’t go to visit her at the hospital. She doesn’t want to see you.”
Willow stopped in her tracks.
In the end, she could only return to her bedroom.
She stayed inside her room for the whole day. Still, not one of the Emmanuels came back. She only ate
a few biscuits when she was hungry.
“Willow, how are you doing? Did they bully you over there?” Ichika had called to check up on her.
“No,” Willow replied while chewing on the biscuit.
In the evening, Brandon, who had gone to participate in a recording, finally came back. He had not had
the chance to go to the hospital. After reaching home, he immediately rushed to the bedroom to get
changed.
At that instant, he spotted Willow sitting decadently on the bed, her hair extremely messy.
“Why are you still here? Are you not going to the hospital? My mom got ill because of you.”
Brandon flew into a rage.
He had been having a hard time recently. Because of the woman, he was feeling helpless and, at the
same time, exhausted.
He had been suppressing a lot of wrath within him.
Willow simply stared at him.
He was in such a hurry that he did not even take off the accessories on him nor clean the hairspray on
his hair.
He looked utterly miserable and disheveled.
At that moment, guilt and remorse slowly replaced the resignation and anticipation that used to fill her
eyes.
