All too late for his love

"You wouldn't! Unless you're crazy!" Willow said.

Matthew narrowed his eyes. He wanted to curse Willow again. But when he saw her left hand, which was bloody and missing her little finger, he swallowed those curses.

She was right. A normal person wouldn't have masochistic tendencies. How could she have a crush on a man who repeatedly bullied and mistreated her? Unless she was insane.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Matthew no longer wanted to force Willow. He stood up from the ground in embarrassment, wanting to rush outside to calm himself down. But thinking that Skyler and Louis were still outside, he came to a halt at the door.

After he let her go, she let out a long sigh of relief. But she didn't dare to put down her guard. She stood up and swiftly moved to the corner, keeping a safe distance from him.

Seeing her treating him like a ferocious beast, he couldn't help but smile self- mockingly.

He stared at her with a complicated gaze. But in the end, he helplessly realized that no matter how much she hated or rejected him and wanted to stay away from him, he still wanted her.

Matthew felt panicked when he got such a thought.

Some emotions were hidden in his heart, and he couldn't sense them clearly. But vaguely, he could feel that there was something more about her that drew him in.

He wondered what exactly it was. He was unable to express his emotions clearly since the feelings between people were too abstract and hazy.

As if a century had passed, he slowly withdrew his gaze from Willow's hand and spoke piously, "I'm sorry, Willow."

She was stunned. It wasn't the first time Matthew apologized to her, but it was the first time he did it with such sincerity.

He was like family to her, so she never regarded him as a real enemy. Even if he had harmed her, she couldn't hate him after hearing his sincere apology.

With a hint of fatigue, Willow sighed slightly and responded calmly, "What's past is past, Mr. Mayer."

Whether it was four years of hardships together or his harsh treatment, everything had passed. From now on, they were only strangers.

After Willow said that, they fell into an awkward silence.

She was a little worried that Skyler and Louis might come to take a shower after they had sex. She had been focusing on the situation outside in anxiety and was no longer paying attention to Matthew.

Suddenly, Skyler received a call. She seemed to have an important matter and needed to leave immediately.

She didn't even have time to take a shower. Hastily, she put on her m other clothes, touched up her makeup briefly, and left the private room.

Louis only focused his attention on Skyler. Since she had already left, he naturally wasn't in the mood stay alone in the empty room. He lazily put on his clothes and waited for her to go out for a while before

leaving.

After they both left, Willow didn't go out right away because she was om worried they would return. So, she stayed in the bathroom for a few more minutes before opening the door and walking out.
