Chapter 334 Once again, she'd slept with the very person she swore to cut out of her life. Willow felt filthy, even to herself.
Zayn, an early riser, had already left the villa. Willow stiffly picked up her clothes from the floor, hastily put them on, and headed out.
Her inner garments were torn beyond recognition. But fortunately, her thick wool coat had proven too resilient for Zayn's attempts to rip it apart.

Yet, once again, she found herself underestimating the cruel depths of human nature.
"Why aren't you saying anything, Ms. Sanford? What do you really think of lan?" Willow wasn't about to mix up her moral compass. She knew that no matter how awful lan had been to Chapter 334 her, Moses had nothing but genuine concern for her.
Not wanting to cause him any more worry, she softly responded, "He's okay." No further interaction would be the best outcome. It was best to leave it at that.
