Kenan gently stroked Willow’s back, comforting her.
“Willow, I won’t simply leave you anymore. I will be your shelter from the storm.”
Hearing Kenan’s words, Willow cried even harder. He didn’t blame her and even apologized to her.
How could he be so good to her?
Chapter 118
Willow felt so comforted, she was almost reactant to die She thought she wanted to live a long life, staying by his side forever.
“Willow, you said you came to find Matthew to fulfill Aaron’s last wish. What was Aaron’s wish? Kenan released Willow and asked gently.
“Uncle Matthew, I miss you so much. Where did you go? Why don’t you come to see Mom and 1?”
Kenan gently stroked the small notebook, reading the neat yet childish handwriting. He pictured a little boy sitting by the window, clutching a notebook, longing for someone.
Kenan’s tears were welling up. Afraid his tears would further upset Willow, he fought back tears and plastered on a big smile. “Willow, I can sing “Little Star“” too! Aaron liked me so much, I’m sure he’d be overjoyed if I sang it for him.”
She murmured to herself, “Kenan, if there is another life, I’ll walk before you healthy and strong. I’ll hold your hand and share a lifetime of joys and sorrows with you.
Finding his weakness or obtaining evidence of their dealings would shatter Skyler’s facade. She hoped to make him admit his improper relationship with Skyler.
by her, but this involved Skyler’s life and death. As siblings, Willow didn’t want to
Willow didn’t share her plan with Kenan. Willow knew he would stand by her, put him in such difficult position.
Willow had Jett’s phone number. After charging her phone at Bordello, she planned to call him directly. But then she decided to get a different SIM card instead.
She bought one from a small shop and immediately called Jett.
Willow was quite skilled at disguises too. She deliberately made her voice sound mature and cold so Jett wouldn’t recognize her.
“Hello, Mr. Hale. Ms. Dawson asked me to call you.”
“Skyler? What’s she up to now? Tell her if she dares to betray me, I won’t let her off easy!”
“Mr. Hale, please don’t be angry. Ms. Dawson asked me to call you to give you the money. You can’t turn down money, can you? Mr. Hale, please tell your account number so I can transfer the money to you.”
This was Jett’s very private number. Last time, he dialed Willow’s number by mistake. Apart from that, he only used this number to contact Skyler.
He had blocked Willow’s number, never expecting her call
Plus, Jett and Skyler had a falling out recently. So when he received this call, he assumed Skyler was trying to buy him off again, fueling his rage. “Tell Skyler if she wants to cut ties with me, she’s dreaming! Tell her to wait, I’m coming for her now!” With that, Jett hung up.
The call went much smoother than Willow expected. She didn’t waste any time, grabbed her phone, and quickly ran out the door.
If she was lucky today, maybe she could capture a video of Jett and Skyler’s entanglement!
