Chapter 337 Willow's eyes widened. She was utterly shocked by lan's bizarre behavior.
He had first gained her trust, warming her heart, only to instruct Duncan Whitman to humillate her after everything. Now, he hugged her for no reason. She suspected that he might be schizophrenic.
Willow had nothing against patients with mental illness-scould be gentle and friendly. Still, she could not shake off the trauma and fear from her tat Blackstorm Mental Hospital.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe feared that lan might be an outlier-one of those violent patients. Judging from his treatment of her from last night, he must be struggling with sserious issues.
Although she was resentful of Zayn, she had to thank him for saving her from Duncan. Else, she would be ruined for life.
Duncan must have spiked her drink with spotent drugs, as she completely forgot about her identity when she was brought back to Zayn's villa. Had she remained with Duncan last night, she feared that the livestream audience would have to witness the shameful scenes of Duncan assaulting her.
lan was the mastermind behind all these incidents. She decided to keep a distance from crazies like him. She frantically pushed him away.
"Mr. Nightingale, please calm down!" Casting a wary look at him, she then noticed his jacket falling onto the ground.
Picking it up, she stuffed it into his arms. “Here's your jacket. Y-You must be a busy man. Please leave now!" lan fixed an unreadable look on her face. He thought her expression looked rather odd. She feared him and looked at him like he was an alien species or a patient.
Her vigilance distressed him. However, he believed he totally deserved to be hated after seeing the injuries on her hand. He explained, "Willow, I didn't know you were the woman at the blind date last night.
Born into a high social status, lan was prideful and never bothered to explain himself. However, he suddenly humbled himself in front of Willow in the hope of getting the chance to be closer to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hm?" Willow did not expect him to explain himself.
Before she could recover from the shock, he continued, "Willow, I never wanted to hurt you. I would never have asked Duncan to demean you if I had known you were the woman from the blind date." It was the first tlan had spoken at such length, and he was surprised to find that explaining himself to Willow didn't feel terrible at all.
*There were cases of women trying to curry favor with my grandpa to approach me. Sof them even spiked my drinks for a chance to date me.
"Their behavior disgusted me. When my grandpa calledabout the blind date, I thought you were one of those women. Willow, I misunderstood you and hurt you. For that, I apologize." Chapter 337 She was shell-shocked. Having heard rumors about lan's ruthless and arrogant nature, she couldn't believe he'd apologize..
Though she was surprised by his action, she was by no means m touched. Had she been assaulted by Duncan last night, no amount of apology from a high-born man like lan could make up for it.
Even if she narrowly escaped being sexually assaulted by Duncan, she ended up sleeping with Zayn. The shthat cwith it could never be erased.
"Mr. Nightingale, I'm sure you were aware of the consequences when you decided to send Duncan om Whitman after me. Did you ever consider how my life would be ruined? Calldifficult or stubborn, but I refuse to accept your apology." X
