All too late for his love (Willow and Zayn)

Chapter 337

Willow’s eyes widened. She was utterly shocked by lan’s bizarre behavior.

He had first gained her trust, warming her heart, only to instruct Duncan Whitman to humillate her after everything. Now, he hugged her for no reason. S

Willow had nothing against patients with mental illness– some could be gentle and friendly. Still, she could not shake off the trauma and fear from her time at Blackstorm Mental Hospital.

She feared that lan might be an outlier–one of those violent patients. Judging from his treatment of her from last night, he must be struggling with some serious issues.

Although she was resentful of Zayn, she had to thank him for saving her from Duncan. Else, she would be

ruined for life.

Duncan must have spiked her drink with some potent drugs, as she completely forgot about her identity when she was brought back to Zayn’s villa. Had the shameful scenes of Duncan assaulting her.

lan was the mastermind behind all these incidents. She decided to keep a distance from crazies like him. She frantically pushed him away.

It was the first time lan had spoken at such length, and he was surprised to find that explaining himself to Willow didn’t feel terrible at all.

*There were cases of women trying to curry favor with my grandpa to approach me. Some of them even spiked my drinks for a chance to date me.

believe he’d apologize..

Though she was surprised by his action, she was by no means touched. Had she been assaulted by Duncan last night, no amount of apology from a hig born man like lan could make up for it.

Even if she narrowly escaped being sexually assaulted by Duncan, she ended up sleeping with Zayn. The shame that came with it could never be erase

“Mr. Nightingale, I’m sure you were aware of the consequences when you decided to send Duncan Whitman after me. Did you ever consider how my life would be ruined? Call me difficult or stubborn, but I refuse to accept your apology.”
