Willow's eyes narrowed instantly, and she strode quickly into the courtyard. "What are you doing here? Who let you in?"Before Iris could respond, a maid came out of the house, saying, "What's all the noise about? Oh, it's Ms. Jett.""And who are you?" Willow scrutinized the woman, finding her somewhat familiar but unable to place her right away."Ms. Jett, you sure are forgetful. I am the maid who works for Madam Sara. I'm Bernice Tabor."It didn't take long for Willow to recall who she was.Indeed, there was a maid called Bernice who served Sara.During the time she was forcibly held at Bassett Residence, Bernice had brought her meals to the small courtyard with a high and mighty attitude as if Bassett Residence was hers."So, what is someone who serves Madam Sara doing in my home?""You're mistaken, Ms. Jett. This is the Bassett family's residence, and since the wedding ceremony between you and Mr. Bassett hasn't been held yet, you're not considered a part of the Bassett fam

On the other end of the phone, there was a brief pause. "What is it?" Theodore asked."Is the child in Iris' stomach yours?"“How did you find out about Iris' pregnancy?”"I'm asking you if it is or isn't!" Willow's raised voice echoed in the courtyard, sounding as cold as an autumn breeze.After a long wait, the silence on the line made her face gradually pale."Willow, I'll explain things to you later.""There's no need for that anymore."Willow's tightly pressed lips relaxed. As the dry, cracked skin at the corners of her mouth stretched, a sharp pain shot through her. "I'll have someone deliver the divorce papers for you to sign as soon as possible."After she hung up the phone, she fixed her gaze on Iris, who was in front of her.She couldn't figure out whether it was just her bad luck or if there was really something wrong with her.Why couldn't she just live a simple life filled with warmth?These revolting incidents occurred so often that the moments of warmth in her

"Joey, you…" Willow's eyes were filled with shock. "When did you…"Just as Joey was coming up with an explanation, a man's voice came from inside the house."Willow?" a man's voice asked.After seeing Matthew, Willow was even more surprised."I came to discuss the company's legal contract with Joey," Matthew explained calmly, but after saying that, he noticed that Willow seemed distracted. "Willow, what happened to your eyes?"Willow's eyes were red. It was clear she had been crying.A look of disappointment crossed Joey's face when she heard what he said."Did Theodore do something to upset you again?" Matthew's face darkened immediately. "I'll go talk to him." "Wait." Joey stopped Matthew. "We don't even know the full story yet. Why are you rushing off? Besides, we don't even know if it was Theodore who upset her yet.""Who else but him could make Willow come here in the middle of the night?" Matthew retorted. He couldn't have been more right, which caused Joey to be at a l

Iris said, "Dinner is ready, you should…"Before Iris could finish her sentence, Theodore rushed upstairs like a gust of wind and searched every room. In the end, he came downstairs and asked, "Where's Willow?""Willow left.""Where did she go?"Iris timidly shook her head.Theodore rubbed his forehead, and his expression was full of exhaustion and impatience. He questioned, "Who told you to move in here?""I'm sorry.""It was Madam Sara who asked Ms. Saville to move in," Bernice spoke up on behalf of Iris. "Madam Sara said that since Ms. Saville is pregnant, the Bassett family should take responsibility. I can testify that Ms. Saville absolutely did not force Ms. Jett to leave; she chose to leave on her own accord.""Ms. Jett?" Theodore's gaze darkened as he coldly stared at Bernice. "Who said you could address her that way? Willow Jett is my wife; you should be calling her Mrs. Bassett!"His cold voice reverberated throughout the room, startling even Iris. Bernice went pale,

Willow opened the door to find Theodore's stern face staring back at her."Who is it, Willow?" Matthew's voice came from the kitchen.Theodore's gaze moved past Willow before settling squarely on Matthew, who was holding bowls and plates. He looked every bit the picture of the ideal family man."You were here the entire night?" Theodore questioned.When Willow snapped out of her daze, her first instinct was to close the door.With a loud bang, Theodore forcefully pushed the door open, causing Willow to stumble backward and the door to slam against the wall. It swung wide open, and he stepped inside in his polished shoes."Theodore, have you gone insane? Willow's pregnant! How could you lay a hand on her?" Matthew quickly rushed over. "Willow, are you alright?"Theodore's expression turned even darker. "You're just hoping I'll lay a hand on her, right? So you can swoop in and play the caring hero. But let me tell you, we're not divorced yet. "So what do you call this situation?

"I'm looking for you," Theodore said as he stared coldly at Matthew.Matthew's hands balled into fists, his veins throbbing as he thought of the things Willow had gone through."Are you looking for me? What a coincidence. I also have some things to talk to you about. Let's go."…Over at Joywell Real Estate, Joey stayed with Willow in the office."How can you find the strength to come to work after what happened?""Well, this is better than staying at home." Willow set the document she had just signed to one side. "I won't go back to Matthew's place tonight. I'll go to my mom's."There was no point in hiding herself since Theodore knew where she lived."How are you going to explain things to your mom?""I won't. I'll tell her that I'm going back to her place to take care of my pregnancy. You should keep it a secret from her too.""What about your mother-in-law? Are you gonna keep it a secret too?""Yeah."Willow knew that if Erica found out about this, she would stand up fo

The cold wind blew against Willow's frail body as if it would send her flying. She gripped the balcony railing hard, scared that she would falter if she were to let go."So, you're asking if I have time because you want to settle the divorce tomorrow, right?""My mom's taking tomorrow night's flight. She wants the two families to have one last meal together. I was thinking…" Theodore suddenly stopped talking as if he couldn't bring himself to say it.Willow already calmed down. "Got it. I'll be there and put on a show.""Is it Theodore?" She suddenly heard Helen's enthusiastic voice. "I want to tell him something too, Willow!"Willow hung up immediately."Hey! Did you hang up?" Helen frowned. "Why did you do that? I need to talk to him.""Why do you need to talk to him? You can talk to me.""Gosh, I just wanted my son-in-law to help me with something. What's so wrong about that? You…""Erica wants us to have dinner with her tomorrow night. It'll be her farewell dinner."Helen

It was the next day. Erica's flight was at night, so she would have dinner with Willow and the rest beforehand. She pulled Willow into the seat next to hers the moment Erica saw her in the booked private room."I've been so busy packing my belongings and saying goodbye to my friends that I haven't had time to catch up with you. Willow, how are you doing?""I'm doing pretty well.""How about your relationship with Theodore?"Willow froze a little before replying. "We're good. What happened was all a misunderstanding.""Thank god it's just a misunderstanding." Erica glared at Theodore. "I'm warning you. If you dare hurt Willow, I'll come back to get you."Willow looked up and exchanged glances with Theodore. Both of them stayed silent.She was worried that Erica would sense something off, so she quickly asked, "Why haven't we met Stephen?"Stephen was Erica's current husband, but they had never met. She only heard things about him from Erica.Erica waved her hand in dismissal. "

Willow and Theodore stood in the airport lobby after sending Erica and Cedar off."You knew early on that Cedar was going to study abroad, didn't you?" Willow asked with reddened eyes.Theodore gave a light nod and answered, "I'm sorry.""What are you sorry about? I really have to thank you. Thank you and Erica for helping Cedar. "If it weren't for you guys, Cedar wouldn't have gotten a recommendation letter from Stephen, and he wouldn't have gained admission into Harlings so smoothly.""Cedar is indeed talented in architecture. Even without my mom and Stephen's help, he would've gotten into an elite university sooner or later.""Still, thank you." Then, Willow took a deep breath and glanced at the time. "Let's go back.""I'll take you home.""No thanks. Isaac is waiting for me outside." Willow showed little expression on her face as she put her hands into the pockets of her coat. "When you have time, let's go and settle the divorce procedures."Theodore furrowed his eyebrows

Chapter 430

Matthew put one hand on his chest, approximately where his heart was."I promise I'll treat the baby like my own. I'll be good to you and everyone in your family.”Willow was stunned, unable to speak for a long while. She knew Matthew had feelings for her—many had fallen for her in university. However, hadn't all those feelings faded? Besides, they had already been friends for a decade."Matthew, I always thought that you treated me the same way you treated Joey. You even seem to have more feelings for Joey, if I may add. After all, the two of you have spent more time together. You don't have to do this out of sympathy.""Sympathy? Why would you think I'm doing this because I sympathize with you? Willow, I'm serious. I bought this ring immediately when you divorced Quentin. I had no idea you would end up with Theodore after that.""Wait a minute." Willow was confused. "Aren't you dating Joey?""Joey?" Matthew's expression turned cold. "Did she say that to you?""No, but I saw yo
