Chapter 135 Not in the Mood
“Madam Ziegler wouldn’t have wanted you to go on a killing spree to avenge her, Caspian. She was praised and loved for her bravery to help those in need.
“Do you want to ruin her reputation by going out and killing everyone? Do you want her to be known for having a son who would mercilessly slaughter all those who wronged her?
“We would become enemies if you were to kill my mom, Caspian. We would have to divorce.”
Willow finally let out everything she had wanted to say.
“Even though my mom’s death was not directly caused by Mrs. Stewart. I still can’t forgive her for treating my mom like a maid and bullying her the entire time,” answered Caspian.
“It’s true that what she did was wrong. But as long as you spare my mom, I’ll try to change her
for the better.”
“Sparing her doesn’t mean that I’ll ever forgive her.”
He couldn’t possibly ever forgive Kate for what she had done.
Willow also understood that he would hold onto the grudge for a long time. But for now, she just wanted him to spare Kate’s life.
“Thank you, Caspian. I was also furious when I learned about all the things she had done to Madam Ziegler, and I couldn’t accept it either.”
She was glad that the issue didn’t get out of hand. With Caspian’s dedication to revenge, Kate would’ve been a goner if Willow hadn’t stopped him right here.
“Let’s go to bed, Caspian. It’s just the two of us now. Don’t think about anything else for now.
Willow tried to change the topic and shift Caspian’s attention away.
He coldly replied, “I don’t have the mood for any of this.”
He felt nothing but injustice because Kate got away with mistreating Lilith during her stay at
the house.
Willow then moved to face Caspian and stood on her toes to match his height.
Caspian suddenly felt a tinge of sweetness spread across his lips.
Willow had hoped that she could make him forget about seeking revenge for now.
It had been quite some time since they could enjoy the presence of one another, thanks to all the chaos.
But Caspian wasn’t in the mood for any intimacy. He was still furious and couldn’t stop

As Willow tried to go in for a kiss, Caspian gently pushed her away.
Willow was surprised by his rejection. “What’s wrong, Caspian?”
“I’m not in a good mood tonight,” explained Caspian as he turned to leave.
He couldn’t stop thinking about how Kate had bullied Lilith, so he was unable to properly enjoy having any alone time with Willow.
She could understand why he was furious because Kate’s attitude toward Lilith had been vile.
She could only hope that this grudge of his would soften over time.
Caspian returned to his room and tossed around in his bed, unable to fall asleep. Images of Lilith being bullied around the house by Kate would resurface whenever he closed his eyes.
He felt helpless about the fact that he couldn’t enact his vengeance against his mother–in–law.
Willow was also unable to fall asleep as Caspian’s sudden shift of attitude gave her too much of
a shock.
“You were right on the money. Is there anything I can help you with today?” asked Joey.
“I want to retrieve the machete.”
