Chapter 69
"What?" Kenan asked with wide eyes. He looked as if he'd heard some terrifying urban legend.
While Kenan was still processing his shock, Willow told him everything that happened between her and Zayn.
Apart from being diagnosed with late-stage cancer, she told him everything that had happened in the last few years.
She once thought that she would never bring up those painful, dark, and humiliating memories ever again. But she finally realized that it was easy to open up to someone she trusted.
They had already reached Bordello by the time Willow finished talking.
She looked at Kenan who was still in shock. "Mr. Dawson, Aaron is actually Zayn's kid, but he's so deep in his misunderstanding that he's unwilling to believe me.
"As for Skyler, she's your biological sister. You can choose whether to believe what I told you or not. If you don't believe me, just treat it as the ramblings of a crazy woman.
"I know how much you've done for me, Mr. Dawson, and I'm incredibly grateful. But we can't be together. Zayn isn't the only thing standing between us. There's Skyler, too. We really aren't cut out for each other."
"I believe you, Willow!" Kenan said as he stubbornly pulled her into his embrace. "But we are cut out for each other. No one else matters but you, I would still cross it to be "You're the one I love, and I want to be with you. Who cares about Zayn and Skyler? Even if there was an ocean separating us, with you. Please don't turn me down again, Willow. Give me a chance to take care of you"
Hot tears filled Willow's eyes. She never thought that Kenan would like her so much. She looked up at him, her wet lashes fluttering delicately. It was incredibly rare to meet a man who actually loved her.
She wanted to be with Kenan. She really did. She had wasted the first half of her life loving Zayn like a moth burning itself near a flame. It was exhausting.
She doubted herself time and time again, and she got hurt time and time again. Even love that ran so deep could be washed away.
She wanted to find a man who would trust her and support her unconditionally. Even if she didn't love him, she was still willing to make it work Time could heal all injuries, and it could also make an ordinary relationship become one to remember.
If she got together with Kenan, she knew she would fall in love with him eventually. He was so good to her. If they had the rest of their lives to spend together, why not use the rest of their time to love freely and wildly?Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The sad thing was that she didn't have any time to spend with him. Her life was about to come to an end. She couldn't let herself waste his time.
"Mr. Dawson, I'm-"
"Willow, don't be so quick to reject me, please." Kenan gently caressed her slightly messy hair. "I can wait for you. I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes, so please don't reject me so quickly. I'll wait for you to see all the things I'm willing to do for you!
Without giving Willow any time to say no to him, Kenan gently kissed her on her forehead and quickly walked away.
Willow watched as he left and murmured to herself, "Mr. Dawson, I've always known everything you did for me. I've always known."
Zayn stood in the shadows where she couldn't see him. He stared at them with a deep, bloodthirsty gaze.
When he thought about the kiss that Kenan had left on Willow's forehead, he clenched his fist and punched the wall in front of him. He couldn't even feel the blood running from his knuckles.
He had been completely out of his mind when he did that to her in the bathroom.
He had been kidnapped when he was young, which caused him to have severe trauma.
He was mute for a long time, and his personality became twisted and violent. His mental health was not as stable as a healthy person's was Even though it did improve a little bit under Wynn, his mother, and Tyson's, his father, care, his condition worsened after being betrayed by Willow. He could act nonchalant and unfazed when it came to everyone else. But when it came to Willow, he couldn't help but get agitated.
He couldn't get the image of her curled up in the corner out of his mind, so he came to check on her. He never expected to see her acting all lovey-dovey with Kenan outside of her apartment. Kenan had even kissed her,
