Chapter 561

Willow parked the car at Mount Draconis Cemetery's entrance. The cemetery was spooky at night with no one working their shift at the guardhouse. The guards were probably certain that no one would come here in the middle of the night.In the car, she called Iris. "I'm here."Iris sounded very careful. "Did you come alone?""You can come and check if you don't believe me.""There's no need for that. I trust that you won't risk your daughter's life. Get out of the car. I put the stuff at your daughter's grave. You can go and find it yourself."Willow glanced outside the car. It was pitch black and foggy at Mount Draconis at night. The cemetery appeared even quieter and creepier as if a wandering apparition would show up at any moment. Willow felt chills down her spine although she never believed in spiritual beings.She followed the stone stairs and made her way up the hill. The moonlight was concealed by the trees as it cast shadows on the ground. Some noises were coming from the b

Chapter 562

Theodore was startled by Willow's crying. After a moment, he came back to his senses and gently placed his big hand behind her. He started patting the back of her head and comforting her. "Don't be afraid. It's me. It's okay now.""Mr. Bassett!" Sean hurried over to them, panting heavily from running. "I've finally caught up to you guys."He spoke in between gasps as he supported himself on his knees. However, he froze when he saw Theodore—a clean freak—sitting on the ground with a wailing Willow in his arms.He reprimanded himself internally. He should have run slower. Now, his feet were rooted to the ground. He did not know whether it was better for him to leave or stay.Theodore ignored Sean and fully focused on wiping Willow's tears away. After some more words of comfort, he carried Willow bridal style and ordered Sean, "Let's head back to the car first.""Okay." Sean quickly turned on the flashlight on his phone and led the way.The road downhill was not easy. There were m

Chapter 563

Theodore brought Willow back to Bassett Villa.Willow was out of it during the entire ride home. Only when they arrived did she look outside the car to realize that they reached Bassett Villa. Her gaze darkened and she said with little emotion, "You can take me to the hotel.""Will you look at yourself? How are you staying at a hotel in this state?" Theodore ignored her rejection and carried her out of the car."I can walk on my own.""Don't move."There was a hint of anger in his voice. He had been holding himself back the whole ride waiting for Willow to tell him the truth. However, she never did.Willow somehow felt uneasy when she saw his grim expression."Mr. Theodore, you're back." Kathy came out from her room in a jacket. She was stunned when she saw Willow in Theodore's arms. "This is… Madam Willow?" She gasped. She thought she was seeing things.Willow's cheeks turned pink as she lay in Theodore's embrace. Although she felt awkward, she greeted Kathy regardless."

"Someone planned for it to happen. None of us could see it coming from the dark. It wasn't Kathy's fault," Willow replied.Theodore glanced at her in curiosity. She quickly returned to her normal expression and continued, "You made the right choice keeping Kathy. "I heard that she doesn't have many family members left back in her hometown either. Honestly, I've always missed her."Kathy was a veteran of the Bassett family. She had taken care of Erica since Erica joined the family. After Erica divorced and left, Kathy stayed at Bassett Residence until Theodore returned to the country.Then, she continued to take care of him, and she had taken care of Yasmine too. Kathy had cared for their family across three generations."Is Kathy the only person you've missed?"Willow was dumbfounded by his jealous question. She cleared her throat and asked, "Uh, didn't you want to bathe? Go now. I don't need you to look after me, I can find my own spot and rest.""The bathwater's for you.""H

Willow tried to make sense of the incident to no avail. Maybe the warm bath was too comfortable, but she had been so tired after going two days without proper rest that she started to relax and eventually fell asleep.Outside the bathroom, Theodore went onto the balcony with his phone. He looked tall and dashing under the moonlight.Sean was on the other end of the call. "Mr. Bassett, I just got news from the security team at Mount Draconis Cemetery. They said that the parking lot's surveillance camera had been malfunctioning since three days ago and they couldn't capture any footage.""What a coincidence, huh?""It smells fishy to me too. However, there are so many entrances and exits to the cemetery that, even with the cameras, it might not be easy to track."Theodore thought for a moment and asked, "When's your mentor returning?"There was a brief pause before the voice on the other end replied, sounding a bit down, "He should be back tomorrow morning."Once the call ended, S

"I just slipped up this time. Besides, Mr. Theodore came. It got harder for me to continue," the man explained."What?" Iris' expression changed instantly. "Theodore went too? Did he see you?""He didn't, but I'm not sure whether his assistant saw me.""What do you mean that you're not sure?" Iris' gaze turned cold. "Do you know what this means? If Theodore knows, that means you, me, and Ellie are all done for!"She clenched her fists and said after a moment of thought, "Go get rid of that assistant first just in case he's onto us.""Okay.""Aren't you leaving already?"Her icy, haunting gaze spooked the man, and he left with one hand covering his cheek.Iris did not expect Theodore to show up at Mount Draconis Cemetery. She also did not know what Willow had told him. Regardless, Iris wouldn't admit to anything at all. She would never reveal Yasmine's whereabouts.She phoned a number. The call was rejected after one beep, but she continued to phone that number. The call finall

Chapter 567

After washing up, Willow, who was wrapped in a towel, headed to the dressing room for clothes. She thought that the dressing room would also remain unchanged just like the other places in this room. After all, her expired skincare products had been left untouched.Despite this, she was dumbstruck at the sight in front of her. In the dressing room were many new clothes with their price tags still intact. The neatly arranged wardrobe included attire for all seasons and styles. There were also matching necklaces, earrings, and bracelets in the accessories drawer.Willow's eyes narrowed in shock. She simply chose two pieces of clothing and got herself changed.…Theodore was having breakfast downstairs when Willow arrived."Good morning, Madam Willow," Kathy greeted Willow, who had come downstairs. "Be careful. Are your injuries okay now?"Theodore put his magazine down and wanted to hold Willow, but she dodged him. Willow did not even spare him a glance. Instead, she smiled at K

Willow denied it. "Absolutely not. When was I ever angry? Besides, why did you buy a bunch of female clothing and store them in your home for nothing? I suddenly feel like what Kathy said made sense.""What did she say?""Maybe you really bought it for yourself."Theodore could hardly take offense at her childish accusations. He looked at her seriously. "Being jealous isn't all that bad. It's a healthy way of releasing one's pent-up feelings. You should do it more often."Willow almost choked on her pumpkin soup when he said that. She muttered between coughs, "Ehem! Who's jea-ugh-jealous… Ehem!""Woah! Slow down and have some water."He got her a glass of water. Willow managed to feel less awkward by drinking the water.Just when she thought the embarrassment was over, Theodore continued, "Today, I learned that one could die of soaking oneself for too long in the bath and that one could die from choking when drinking too. How did you even survive all these years?""Soaking in t

Theodore accepted the call right in front of Willow with no intention of hiding anything from her. "Hello?""Theodore, I just got off the plane, but I can't make it in the afternoon to the company to report for work. I've got something going on.""There's no rush. You just came back, so you can take some time off to recover from jet lag. Go home and rest for half a day.""I don't need to rest. I'm just letting you know that I'll be heading over to check out the site."Theodore looked up at Willow. "Your sister is with me right now. Do you want to talk to her?"Willow, who had been fully focused on eavesdropping on their conversation, coughed awkwardly when she heard this. She straightened her back and pretentiously took a sip of water.She couldn't hear what Cedar said on the other side of the call, but Theodore hung up after saying, "Okay."Cedar obviously did not want to talk to her.Theodore continued drinking coffee after hanging up. He had no plans of explaining what happe

Chapter 570

"Ms. Ashworth." Yasmine, who was in Cedar's arms, immediately opened her arms to Penny.Cedar let Penny hold Yasmine. He reminded her coldly, "You should be responsible for your kid since you gave birth to her. It'll be too late for you to regret it if something happens to her."Penny did not see the moment when the car was about to hit Yasmine. She fought back sternly. "Do you think you're the one who should be talking here? We were standing just fine over here. Why did you randomly whisk our kid away?"Cedar frowned in distaste. He could not be bothered to explain himself. He went to his luggage while complaining in a low voice, "I can't believe that just anyone can be a mom these days.""Stop right there," a cold female voice commanded. "What did you just say? Say that again."Cedar stopped and saw the woman who was talking. She wore a black bucket hat with a pair of sunglasses and a mask that completely covered her face. He had no idea what she looked like. Was she not scare
