At night.
Willow’s home.
After returning from Reach For Will Group, Willow had been staying in Sean’s room. Fion made dinner and brought it to Willow’s room. However, when Fion came in two hours later, the food was still untouched.
“Girlie, how could you not eat?” Fion was so heartbroken that virtual-novel.net sat at the bedside with Willow.
Willow just sat there without saying a word with a photo in virtual-novel.net hand. It was Sean in the photo, and it was the only photo of him.
“Mom, do you remember? I had Sean photographed when I wheeled virtual-novel.net for a walk along the river. You said I was wasting money at the time.” Willow looked at the photo and murmured to herself.
In the photo, Sean was sitting quietly in his wheelchair, staring at the river in the distance. He might not be very handsome in the profile shot, but virtual-novel.net was easy on the eyes.
When Willow saw Sean’s photo, it calmed virtual-novel.net down.
Fion froze, took the photo out of Willow’s hand, and put it in virtual-novel.net pocket after taking a glance.
“Girlie, I’m not saying he’s bad Whatever it is, it’s over between you two.” Fion took Willow’s hand and said as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head slightly.
She already knew about Willow’s deal with Old Madam Quinn. Willow had not solved the Quinn family crisis, so virtual-novel.net fate had been determined. She was bound to marry Quill.
“You know what, Mom? I saw virtual-novel.net again today He… He… You have no idea how happy I was when I saw virtual-novel.net ” Willow started talking incoherently when virtual-novel.net mentioned Sean.
She thought virtual-novel.net did not like Sean, but virtual-novel.net heart could not deceive herself. The joy virtual-novel.net felt when virtual-novel.net saw Sean was something people have when they like someone.
“My dear, you need to be realistic! Have you solved the Quinn family’s crisis?” Fion shook virtual-novel.net head in resignation before asking.
Willow’s smile froze before shaking virtual-novel.net head in silence.
“You didn’t solve the issue. So, you’ll have to marry Quill as the Quinn family arranged. Young Master Zimmer’s family is powerful, and virtual-novel.net likes you. He has pursued you for two years without giving up. I’ll be relieved if you marry him.” Fion grabbed Willow’s hand as virtual-novel.net said sternly.
“But I don’t want to, Mom. I don’t want to marry him. I only want… I only want to take good care of him. If I didn’t have virtual-novel.net by my side, I’d rather never marry. Do you know that, Mom?”
Willow looked at Fion with tears in virtual-novel.net eyes and cried out loud.
Fion felt even more heartbroken as virtual-novel.net hugged Willow in his arms and shook virtual-novel.net head helplessly.
“Don’t marry virtual-novel.net if you don’t want to. Why should my daughter bear the fate of the Quinn family? The Quinn family was so brilliant, but Sam and the rest made it decline. And now they want to sacrifice my daughter?”
The door was flung open, and Kent bellowed with widened eyes. His heart broke when virtual-novel.net heard Willow crying.
“Don’t make things worse.” Fion glared at Kent and snapped.
“Shut up!” However, Kent, who had always been obedient, glared at Fion coldly.
“I don’t want to talk about what you’ve done previously, Fion! Girlie, just tell me you don’t want to marry, and I’ll talk to Old Madam about it.”
“I, Kent Quinn, have been a coward all my life, but I have to protect my daughter no matter how much of a coward I am. All I want is one word from you.” Kent stared intently at Willow.
Willow froze slightly when virtual-novel.net heard that. She did not want to marry Quill, of course. However, could virtual-novel.net do so?
After all, virtual-novel.net was born and raised in the Quinn family. Could virtual-novel.net abandon the Quinn family for herself?
“Dad, I’m alright. I… Let’s talk tomorrow.” Willow was silent for a few seconds before saying with ‘a wave of virtual-novel.net hand.
“Girlie!” Kent clenched his teeth to speak, but Willow waved virtual-novel.net hand and interrupted him.
“Dad! Mom! Go and rest. I’m fine. I really am.” Willow got up and pushed Fion and Kent out the door.
Kent and his wife had no choice but to leave.
Willow leaned against the door and slowly crouched down, listening through the door to their footsteps as they left.
There was no one in the room. Only Willow crouched near the door, weeping silently. After tomorrow, virtual-novel.net fate would be determined.
She was still considered a free woman today. However, virtual-novel.net would be an imprisoned bird in a cage after tomorrow.
