Chapter 1297 Everything That Could Happen Has Happened
âWhat?â Brandonâs tone sank immediately upon hearing Sashaâs words. âShe went to look for you?
Sasha, listen. Donât meddle yourself in this matter. Iâve told her weâre nothing more than friends and for
her to stop bothering me.â
âNothing more than friends?â
Sasha was stumped.
Shifting her gaze to the depressed woman in the garden, she became anxious, âBut Willow says you
guys haveââ
âSlept with each other?â Brandon snickered over the phone. âWeâre all adults, so we got drunk and did
things as we wish. Donât tell me that weâll have to get stuck together because of that? Weâre in the 21st
century, mind you! Please tell her to stop being so pedantic!â
Brandonâs choice of words hinted at his annoyance. Sasha was stunned and didnât know how to react.
She was unclear about the situation going on between the two.
Actually, given the society weâre in, Brandon does make a point if itâs a one-night stand. Thereâs no way
I can implore him any further.
Besides, she could tell from Brandonâs tone that there was not even a hint of love he had for Willow.
Sasha hung up the call and walked out of the room.
âHow is it? Did he agree to come here?â As expected, Willow who was waiting intently in the garden,
immediately leaped up from her seat upon seeing Sashaâs return and looked at her with hope.
Sashaâs heart ached seeing her act that way.
Nonetheless, she walked over and pulled her over to sit on the chair.
âWillow, be honest with me. Are you guys really a couple?â
Willow turned her gaze away as she sat down, her face and lips paled of all colors.
âW-What did he tell youâ¦?â
âNo. He only mentioned to me about that night after you guys got drunk⦠He says heâs sorry about it.
Brandon isnât a mature guy, Willow. His mom has spoilt him since young; thatâs why he doesnât have a
great sense of responsibility. He wonât think that heâll have to be responsible for a lady after sleeping
with her. Besidesâ¦â
âWillow, tell me honestly. After you guys got drunk that night, was it really by chance? Orâ¦â
Sasha did not finish her sentence.
Yet, she had put forth her meaning clearly.
By now, Willow was getting more flustered. As embarrassed as she was, all she wanted to do at that
moment was to bury her head down.
The atmosphere became stilled in an instant.
Even the birds and bees in the garden had seemingly stopped in their tracks. Only their breathing and
Willowâs sobs could be heard.
Indeed, foolish women can act extremely silly and terrifying.
Why would she still use such methods to make someone who doesnât like her stay? No wonder
Brandon sounded so annoyed after I mentioned Willowâs name.
Left with no other choice, Sasha sent Willow back to the room to get some rest.
Later at noon, Sebastian returned home after a body check at the hospital.
Seeing there was another person at home, he asked Sasha about Willow. As she explained the
situation in detail, Sabrina jumped in and interrupted before Sebastian could say anything.
âWhatâs wrong with that woman? With Aunt Matilda around, Iâm sure sheâll put her through hell even if
she manages to marry Brandon!â
At the thought of that intimidating figure in the Emmanuels, everyone including Sasha broke out in cold
sweat and could not seem to say anything anymore.
They had forgotten that the perfect candidate who would fit Matildaâs criterion as a daughter-in-law was
someone talented and beautiful inside out but also well-matched in terms of background.
Just the mere thought of it sent Sasha shuddering in fear.
In the end, Sasha pacified the agitated Willow. That day, after knowing Brandonâs short break had
come to an end and was leaving Avenport, Willow finally accepted the reality and decided to return to
Clear.
Really?
Judging from Willowâs gloomy expression, Sasha was a little skeptical about it.
Of course, as much as she was worried, she did not insist on asking Willow to stay since the latter had
already made up her mind.
After some thought, Sasha ultimately decided to contact Solomon to seek help from him since she
could not leave the matters on hand behind.
âSolomon, do you happen to be free? Willow says she wants to go back, but I worried about her as
sheâs not at her best mental state right now. Can you help me send her home?â
âAlright,â Solomon readily agreed.
That afternoon, Solomon found the dejected Willow at the waiting area in the airport.
She was sitting alone in a corner, with tears rolling down her cheeks.
âLetâs go. Iâll send you back.â
Solomon was exasperated to see her pathetic appearance.
Conversely, upon seeing the manâs arrival, Willow did something she had never done before in Frontier
Bayâan immense outpour of her emotions.
After staring drearily at Solomon for a split second, she pranced up and hugged him, bawling her eyes
out.
âSolomon, he lied! Everything that could happen has already happened between us. B-But now he
says weâre all adults and should be clear of the line. Why did he do that?â
Solomon felt awkward toward Willowâs action that his body stiffened up at once.
