His love

Before Zayn could make a move, Matthew had already positioned himself in front of Willow. Matthew’s features were gentle, but when his face turned cold, he seemed to be on par with Zayn. 

The two men stood together like it was an invisible confrontation. Ignoring the rage burning in Zayn’s eyes, Matthew calmly spoke, “Mr. Carter, you’re meddling in matters that don’t concern you. Whoever my sugar baby is is none of your business.” 

“Sugar baby?” Zayn suddenly laughed. It made him seem even more sinister and Intimidating than his usual stoicism. “Forgive my ignorance. In all my years, I’ve never heard of a woman being a sugar baby for multiple men.” 

“What do you mean by that?” 

“I was her honored guest at Rumpus Club.” Zayn declared his authority with just one sentence. Matthew’s expression changed instantly. He never imagined that Willow would have been to Rumpus Club. 

She was Zayn’s lover, yet she displayed affection with Kenan and repeatedly tried to seduce him. Matthew couldn’t fathom how there could be such a shameless woman in the world, 

Perhaps those four men he scared off earlier were also seduced by her. Matthew felt that Willow was truly filthy. Even the ladies of Velvet Noir were more noble and pure compared to her. 

He kept telling himself that he didn’t want to let go, not because he cared about Willow, but because her face suited being a mistress too well. 

“Mr. Carter, how much did you spend at the Rumpus Club?” Matthew paused slightly before continuing with determination, “I’ll double for your losses.” 

Zayn’s head throbbed with anger. Willow’s feigned innocence really worked. Matthew was already viewing 

her as a treasure. 

Suppressing the urge to crush her, Zayn replied coldly, “You’re overthinking it. Your money is nothing to 

me.” 

Matthew was about to continue the tug-of–war over Willow when his phone rang. Seeing it was from Wilhelmina, he quickly answered the call. “What’s wrong, Willa?” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Matt, I have a fever, I feel terrible.” 

Matthew’s brow furrowed. “I’m coming over right away.” 

After hanging up, Matthew didn’t care about their confrontation anymore. He glanced coldly at Willow and quickly left the wooden house. 

After all, Willow had already shown an inclination toward him. Her becoming his mistress was only a matter of time. 

Willow felt incredibly weak. Even though she was in an embarrassing and miserable situation, she had almost drifted off to sleep again. 

In a semi–conscious state, she felt a sudden pain in her chin. When she opened her eyes, she met Zayris 

furious gaze. 

His anger gradually turned into chilling sarcasm. “Hal Willow, what’s the use of pretending to be innocent? No matter how innocent you pretend to be, to Matthew, you’re nothing more than a mistress who can’t be seen in public. You’re nothing compared to his Wilhelmina.” 

Willow was too exhausted. She really didn’t want to argue with Zayn. She turned her face away and

“Willow!” 

Zayn was so angry that he wanted to destroy everything, but he couldn’t bear to actually kill Willow. All he could do to vent his anger was to kick the ground fiercely. As he did so, he noticed a black Canon camera lying beside his foot.
