Lara wanted to question Willow, but Helen stopped her. “Stop it, Lara. Can’t you see that she is not in her right state of mind? Give her space.”
Helen was attentive. When Willow came back, she had noticed her eyes were red and she obviously cried.
Although Willow was wearing a blazer, it was unbuttoned. Helen saw that Willow was only wearing her undergarments inside.
She looked disheveled and terrified before she broke into a smile when she saw the kids.
Helen could see that Willow was trying to stay strong and the kids gave her some strength.
Willow had always been strong and optimistic. She was not the type to cry easily unless something that she couldn’t bear happened.
When she came home, she hugged the kids first instead of responding to Lara’s nagging. It was to heal her broken soul.
Lara had failed to notice that and kept asking Willow questions. Helen had enough of it.
Lara looked at Helen in surprise. “What’s wrong with her? Did she break up with her boyfriend?”
“Mr. Hughes is perfect. How could she break up with him so easily?” Lara was upset. She slapped her thigh as if she had lost several million dollars.
Willow had never admitted that Jasper was her boyfriend. She said that she would explain their relationship when she came back, but Lara had set her mind that Jasper and Willow were in a relationship. She even dreamed of it.
