"Being a couple means we're united in everything, so this is a debt we share. Giving her the house is a way for us to repay her," Willow said earnestly. "But this is just how I see it. The decision is up to you since the house is yours.""It's ours." Theodore corrected her. After considering it for a moment, he added, "It's a solid idea. This way, she'll have a place to stay in Emperia, and we won't have to worry about her anymore."He called Clark and asked him to take care of the property transfer.Willow nestled closer into Theodore's arms. She was determined to hold onto Theodore regardless of Iris' motives. The only way she'd ever walk away was if Theodore told her their relationship was over.…When Joey learned Willow was giving away the house, her jaw practically hit the floor."Why does she deserve it? My dear Ms. Jett, do you have any idea how much that villa is worth now? And you just handed it over? To someone like her, no less?"Joey had been ranting to Willow in he

Linda looked up, and her gaze was inscrutable behind her black-framed glasses. "You actually don't."This was an unconditional gift, so the recipient's approval wasn't necessary.Linda added, "And just so you know. Even though you have a good relationship with Mr. Bassett, it's still proper to address his wife as Mrs. Bassett instead of Ms. Jett."Iris felt a surge of frustration upon realizing that Linda's approach was flawless.Before departing, Linda remarked, "Ms. Saville, I've seen many women come and go with Mr. Bassett. Getting a house like this is as good as it gets—nothing better. Take care."She left after she was done speaking.Iris' face flushed with anger, and her hand shook slightly as she gripped the doorframe.A sudden wave of nausea overwhelmed her. She covered her mouth and dashed to the bathroom, throwing up violently until she looked ashen. While staring at her reflection in the mirror, she saw her face had taken on a haggard, aged appearance.She realized t

"What's the matter? Do I look weird?" Willow asked when she noticed Theodore staring at her in silence. She felt a bit unsure about her appearance for the first time. Summoning her courage, she said, "I've said that something simple would have been enough.""You look stunning." Theodore's voice echoed through the shop.The shop assistant tried to hide her giggle with her hand.Willow was taken by surprise to hear his words.Theodore took her hand in his and said, "Marrying you is the best thing that's ever happened to me."The warmth of his hand and his comforting words eased her worries and anxieties. Their eyes met, and her eyes crinkled into a smile as she held his hand. She felt a surge of excitement about their upcoming wedding.…Erica couldn't stand the idea of Willow, who was expecting, getting stressed out, so she took over all the wedding planning to ensure Willow could relax."The wedding is at the end of the month, so make sure you take it easy for the last two week

Chapter 414

"Your phone's ringing." Willow glanced up at Theodore. Her expression tightened as she saw who was calling. She let go of Theodore and moved to the side.Theodore stayed where he was and took the call right before her. "Hi, Iris."The rain was falling steadily outside, but with Willow close by, she could hear every word from the other end of the call.Iris' voice was tearful. "Theodore, I'm alone at home and I'm really scared.""Isn't there a housekeeper at home?""The housekeeper is off today. I just heard someone knocking at the door, and they're still at it! They're even tapping on the living room window. It feels like someone's out there. Can you come over and stay with me?"A woman's vulnerability, especially when combined with beauty, often made it difficult for a man to refuse. A few tears could easily tug at a man's heartstrings, and Iris clearly knew how to use this to her advantage."I know it's a lot to ask with this heavy rain, but I really don't know what else to do

Chapter 415

After several days of unpredictable rain, the skies finally cleared.Two weeks later, the much-anticipated wedding day had finally come. As the president of Bassett Corporation, Theodore's wedding drew nearly all of the most influential figures in Emperia."My daughter looks absolutely beautiful," Helen said as she stood with Cedar by Willow's side in the bridal suite.Willow sat at the vanity. She wore a radiant white gown that shimmered in the light, and it made her look like a fairy-tale princess. Her features were elegant and stunningly beautiful."Mrs. Jett, Cedar," Joey said as she entered the room with a beaming smile. "The crowd outside is enormous. Mrs. Jett, you and Cedar should go over the ceremony details with the officiant one more time to ensure everything goes smoothly.""Good idea." Helen nodded in response. She took Cedar's arm as they headed out the door.As soon as they left, Joey leaned in close to Willow's ear. Willow was taken aback at first, but after a mom

Theodore and Willow simultaneously shifted their gazes to the doorway. A woman in a caregiver uniform stumbled in, causing the guests to step aside as she rushed forward."Who's that?""How did she get in?"Amidst the murmurs, only Willow noticed Theodore's expression stiffen.Clark had already instructed the staff to stop the woman below the stage when she shouted, "Ms. Saville was in a car accident, Mr. Bassett!"Theodore's pupils contracted instantly, and without any hesitation, he let go of Willow's hand.Willow immediately grabbed him. "Theodore!"She refused to believe it. The timing of Iris' car accident, coupled with someone being sent to interrupt their wedding solely to deliver the news, seemed way too suspicious."Today is our wedding. Where are you going?" Willow's gaze darkened as she stared at Theodore."Willow, I'm sorry. I'll explain everything later." After saying this, Theodore brushed off her hand and quickly walked down the red carpet.A wave of shock swep

Chapter 417

Headlines everywhere read, "Theodore Bassett, the young president of Bassett Corporation, flees from his wedding, rendering an ordinary woman's dream of marrying into wealth nothing but a mere fantasy…"The news was so shocking that it dominated the top headlines on every major social media platform in Emperia, and it was even being reported on television.At Bassett Villa, a charming entertainment news reporter was passionately recounting the events at the wedding on TV while countless "sources" eagerly revealed details.When Theodore returned, Willow was quietly sitting on the couch. Her gaze was fixed on the television, as though she was absorbing all the sympathy and ridicule on display.He picked up the remote and made to turn the TV off."Don't turn it off." As Willow spoke, she didn't even look in his direction.Theodore still turned off the TV. "Stop watching this. Clark is handling it. This news won't appear anymore by tomorrow morning.""Stop fooling yourself," Willow

Chapter 418

The roar of an engine could be heard coming from the courtyard before the sound faded away.While leaning against the headboard, Willow knitted her brows tightly. She was suffering in silence, yet she still had to present a calm and collected front to the outside world.Willow gently stroked her belly. "My child, would you blame me if it's just you and me in the future?"She truly hoped that her child wouldn't blame her. Rather than suffer in a toxic environment, it was better to have all the love and care in a single-parent household.Her phone buzzed on the bedside table. It was a message from Erica.Willow glanced through it; it was all just words of comfort urging her not to be angry. She didn't know how to respond, so she chose not to reply at all.There were also messages from friends and colleagues. They mostly offered comfort, though some from industry insiders were laced with sarcasm.Theodore surprisingly believed that postponing the wedding could make things right.…

Chapter 419

Willow instinctively lowered her gaze, and her voice tinged with bitterness when she said, "Although children from single-parent households may have negative experiences, it doesn't necessarily mean their lives will be hard. I'm proof of that, aren't I?"Though that was true, as Willow had been through it herself, she understood more than anyone the countless challenges a fatherless child, particularly a girl, might encounter while growing up—struggles that were difficult to confide in others.Joey then asked with some hesitation, "So, are you still living at the Bassett family's residence?""I'm living there for now. I will move out once the situation calms down and things settle."Joey hugged her. "I'll always be here for you."Willow suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes turned red. "Thank you for always being there for me."Just then, Annie knocked and entered. "Ms. Jett, Ms. Lane, Mr. Evans is here."Startled, Joey let go of Willow.In the office, as soon as Mat

Clark shivered, and he didn't dare say another word.At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Dinah appeared at the doorway. "Mr. Bassett, Ms. Whalley is here."Erica entered with a furious look. "Explain what happened yesterday."The mother and son both wore equally grim expressions.Clark, who was standing at the side, could feel a layer of sweat forming on his back. "Ms. Whalley, you and Mr. Bassett can chat. I'll leave you two alone."The office fell into a deathly silence after Clark left.Erica had always been strict with Theodore, especially in matters of love, and used his father's past as a cautionary tale. She ingrained in him the principle of unwavering loyalty in marriage since he was young."Talk!" Erica slammed the table, causing the water in the cup to spill over. "Are you involved with that woman named Iris Saville?""Mom, you're overthinking things.""I'm overthinking things? If even I, your mother, can't help but overthink things, what do you think othe
