Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 120

Willow chuckled. Paying Jude's salary for a whole year wouldn't even cover what he spent on a single bag in a day.

But she still patted her chest and promised, "I won't forget your ten-dollar bonus!"

Vivienne couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

See? She knew it. Willow was meant to be happy every single day.

After lunch, it was time for her meeting with York.

York had wanted to pick her up, but she refused, simply asking for the address and taking a cab there herself.

York had booked a spot at a coffee shop and even rented out the entire place in advance. As Willow pushed the door open, she spotted him immediately.

It seemed he had dressed up specifically for today. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses that suppressed his usual frivolous demeanor, surprisingly giving off an aura of restrained elegance.

Willow's steps faltered for a second. For some reason, his aura in that moment reminded her slightly of Lucian.

She didn't dwell on it, simply taking the seat across from York and cutting straight to the chase. "What did you want to tell me?"

York had originally come today to explain the situation regarding Lucian's fiancée.

After all, Lucian had specifically asked him to handle it before leaving.

But the moment he saw Willow's face, the speech he had drafted in his mind got stuck in his throat. Meeting those clear, bright eyes, he suddenly didn't want to tell her.

His glasses hid the emotions in his eyes. York lowered his gaze, suddenly feeling incredibly despicable.

He knew full well that he wasn't W, but in this moment, he didn't want to deny it.

Because if he did deny it, he and Willow might lose their only connection completely.

Seeing him stay silent for so long, Willow grew a little impatient. "Are you going to talk? If not, I'm leaving."

York's eyes twitched. He instinctively wanted to make her stay, but what excuse could he use?
