Chapter 239
Before Matthew could speak, Wilhelmina sobbed loudly, “Matt, I knew it! I knew you’d break up with me one day.
“It was all my fault. I failed to frame Willow, and I even gave myself fertility issues!
Matt. I’m no longer a complete woman. I lost my privilege of becoming a mother. Since I can’t give you children, I deserve to be broken up with because I’m no longer good enough for you!”
“Willa…” Wilhelmina had indeed committed a grave mistake. However, his love for her had become a habit. Her pitiful behavior evoked his sympathy.
She was, after all, the woman who had stayed by his side at his lowest point for four years!
“Matt, stop. I know you’ll never marry me anymore.” Wilhelmina struggled to catch her breath.
Gaping, she waited for her breathing to stabilize before saying, “Matt, am I a despicable, horrible woman in your eyes now?
“I know I’m in the wrong, but I’m scared you’d hate me. Matt, I beg of you. Please do not hate me even if we break up.”
“Willa, you shouldn’t hurt yourself for Willow.” She touched his soft spot. He gently clutched her tiny hand. “Willa, even if you succeeded in framing Willow, you’d still suffer from long–term health issues. It’s not worth it at all.”
“No! Matt, you don’t get it!” She shook her head hard. “Matt, I love you. I fell hopelessly in love with you the moment I set my eyes on you.
“That’s why I stayed by your side when the whole world turned against you, when you had nothing to your name and struggled to build your life. Matt, I thought you’d love me as much as I love you. But how could you think of taking Willow as your mistress?
