Meanwhile, Willow remained at Brindley. Heather set her up on s Heather off and forbade the latter from doing it anymore, saying

many blind dates that she grew numb to them. Grace told at all those blind dates were going to fry Willow’s brain.

At the beginning of September, he returned to Brindley, and they into each other from time to time.

Willow and Heather went outside for lunch. As fate would have it, they bumped into Jeffrey and his mother.

Dorothy actually felt a little awkward when she saw Willow again. stead, Heather graciously offered to share a table with the two of them.

During the meal, Heather noticed how restrained Dorothy was. She took the initiative to hold the latter’s hand and said, “I heard that things were looking up for Mr. Carter’s company and that they have a wonderful project. The only drawback is that they were facing a shortage of funding.

“I’ll talk to Timothy about it when I have the chance. He could always make an investment in your husband’s company.”

Dorothy immediately felt uneasy. She couldn’t help but feel deeply moved. “I’d appreciate it.”

Heather responded, “We’re relatives. We don’t keep scores. Both Timothy and I want you guys to have a good life.”

Dorothy felt relieved. Looking at Willow again, she felt like she had missed out on her. The fact was that Jeffrey had a shot at happiness, but she was the one who foolishly pushed Willow away. It had never occurred to her that Willow had such a mind- blow background.

Meanwhile, Willow and Jeffrey remained silent the whole time.

Dorothy walked over after she had paid for the meal, and she immediately saw the look on his face. Still feeling guilty, she lowered her voice and said to Willow, “You and your mom are welcome to Jeffrey’s engagement party.”

Willow nodded and responded politely, “We’ll be there, Dorothy.”

Dorothy couldn’t stop feeling melancholy, but regret wasn’t going to change anything. In the end, they bade each other farewell and parted ways.

After Willow took Heather home, she went back to the same old apartment.

A white Rolls–Royce Spectre ground to a halt in front of the apartment. She hadn’t even stepped out of the car when she saw Julian’s car parked at the usual spot.

At the next moment, the door to the passenger seat swung open, and in came Julian, bringing the chilly wind with him.

The last time they met was at Dominic’s funeral. It had been such a long time since they had laid eyes on each other.
